Description

This report is the final summary of the AISC ad hoc task group on high-strength steel who were tasked with providing guidance to the AISC Specification Committee and its Task Committees on how to encourage innovation in the application of high-strength steel to construction. Specifically, the group sought to ensure  AISC specifications are not an unreasonable impediment to adoption and that clarity exists for the process of introducing new steels to the Specification whenever possible, while maintaining the same standards of safety as currently provided by the Specification.
