FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHICAGO - The latest version of the American Institute of Steel Construction’s flagship standard, the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-22), is now available at aisc.org/2022spec.

This document supersedes ANSI/AISC 360-16, and it is the foundation for the forthcoming 16th edition of the Steel Construction Manual, which AISC expects to publish later this year.

“The first edition of the AISC Specification was released in 1923,” said James Malley, chair of the AISC Committee on Specifications. “A century later, the Specification continues our mission to provide a practice-oriented specification that allows designers, fabricators, and builders to create safe, efficient, durable, and economical structures that define America’s built environment.”

The new standard incorporates the results of a new collaboration between AISC’s Committee on Specifications and Committee on the Code of Standard Practice. The two groups joined forces to standardize terminology and coordinate requirements related to project delivery.

The 2016 edition and other related documents are available for reference at aisc.org/standards.
