The new edition contains more than 60 examples that demonstrate how to design the key members and connections for the most commonly used SFRS. “AISC brought together a team of dedicated volunteers, including experts in structural and connection design and developers of the seismic provisions, to develop this manual and ensure its utility for practicing engineers.” “The new AISC Seismic Design Manual provides engineers with useful tools, detailed examples and extensive explanation to facilitate the design of structures complying with the AISC 341 Seismic Provisions,” explained Rafael Sabelli, chair of the AISC seismic manual subcommittee and director of seismic design at Walter P Moore. Produced as a high-quality, vinyl softcover, the new edition is being offered at $100 for AISC members ($200 for non-members). It includes discussion and practical guidance on applying the latest versions of AISC’s core standards–the 2016 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360), 2016 Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 341), 2016 Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications (ANSI/AISC 358) and the 15th Edition Steel Construction Manual. Designers and fabricators can now access the most comprehensive information for performance-based seismic design with the 3rd Edition AISC Seismic Design Manual, now available at This new edition of the manual has been expanded with additional information and design aids to help engineers navigate the design of steel and composite seismic resisting systems (SFRS).
