One East Wacker Drive, Suite 3100 Chicago, IL 60601-2001 AMERICAN INSTITUTE oF STEEL ConsrRUCTIONPREFACE The AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings— Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Plastic Design has evolved through numerous versions from the Ist Edition, published June 1, 1923. Each succeeding edition has been based upon past success- ful usage, advances in the state of knowledge and changes in design practice. The data included has been developed to provide a uniform practice in the design of steel- framed buildings. The intention of the Specification is to provide design criteria for routine use and not to cover infrequently encountered problems which occur in the full range of structural design. The AISC Specification is the result of the deliberations of a committee of structural engineers with wide experience and high professional standing, representing a wide geographical distribution throughout the U. S. The committee includes approxi- mately equal numbers of engineers in private practice, engineers involved in re~ search and teaching and engineers employed by steel fabricating companies. To avoid reference to proprietary steels, which may have limited availability, only those steels which can be identified by ASTM specifications are listed as approved under this Specification. However, some steels covered by ASTM specifications, but subject to more costly manufacturing and inspection techniques than deemed essen- tial for structures covered by this Specification, are not listed, even though they may provide all of the necessary characteristics of less expensive steels which are listed. Approval of such steels is left to the owner's representative. The Appendices to this Specification are an integral part of the Specification. A Commentary has been included to provide background for these and other provisions. This edition of the Specification has been developed primarily upon the basis of the criteria in the Specification dated November 1, 1978. That Specification, as well as earlier editions, was arranged essentially on the basis of type of stress with special or supplementary requirements for different kinds of members and details contained in succeeding sections. The provisions of the 1978 Specification have been reorga- nized using decision table logic techniques to provide an allowable stress design spec- ification that is more logically arranged on the basis of type of member. This arrangement is more convenient to the user because general design require- ments are presented first, followed by chapters containing the information required to design members of each type. This organization is consistent with that used in the Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Stee! Buildings. The principal changes incorporated in this edition of the Specification include: + Reorganization of provisions to be consistent with LRFD format. + New provisions for built-up compression members. + New provisions for the design of webs under concentrated forces. + Updated provisions for slender web girders. + Updated provisions for design for fatigue. + Recommendations for the use of heavy rolled shapes and welded members made up of thick plates Anaenican Insrrrure oF Stas Construction5-13 The reader is cautioned that independent professional judgment must be exercised when data or recommendations set forth in this Specification are applied.
