When it comes to speedy construction, don't just knock on wood--drop a timber floor into a structural steel frame to reliably erect new buildings in record time.

Design Guide 37: Hybrid Steel Frames with Wood Floors is packed full of the information you need to bring these innovative structures to life.

It's just one of the tools AISC provides to help you do your job more efficiently, effectively, and economically. There's always something new--particularly in cutting-edge realms like hybrid construction.

Enjoy the design guide! And remember: You can always reach the Steel Solutions Center for complimentary answers to technical questions you may have about what you read. They're just a call (866.ASK.AISC) or email (solutions@aisc.org) away.
