The audience for this reference manual is professional engineers since it describes structural steel materials and their proper assembly. Although this 13th edition of the manual is 15 years out of date, it is an upgrade to my previous 8th edition, because it now includes values for ASD and LRFD design in separate (colored) columns. However, for those who can afford the $400 for the current edition, it would make sense to spend the extra money.

It is a MUST have for a structural steel fabricator! This Steel Construction Manual is the thirteenth major update of the AISC Steel Construction Manual, which was first published in 1927. With this revision, the previously separate Allowable Stress Design and Load and Resistance Factor Design methods have been combined. Thus, this Manual replaces both the 9th Edition ASD Manual and the 3rd Edition LRFD Manual. Much of the HSS Connections Manual has also been incorporated and updated in this Manual. The following specifications, codes, and standards are printed in Part 16 of this Steel Construction Manual: * 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings * 2004 RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts * 2005 AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges The following resources are also included on the CD included with this edition of the Steel Construction Manual: * AISC Design Examples, which illlustrates the application of tables and specification provisions that are included in this Manual. * AISC Shapes Database V13.0 and V13.0H. * Background and supporting literature for the AISC Steel Construction Manual.Read full review
