These cards have limitations and are not intended to be solely relied upon as a replacement to the Manual or Specification. This card also provides a "simplified method" that is based on the effective length method. These cards present some of the most frequently used equations from the Specification in a simplified and abbreviated format.Ĭard 1 contains equations to calculate the available strength of W-, S-, C-, and MC-shapes in tension, shear, flexure and compression.Ĭard 2 provides equations for determining the available strengths of bolted or welded connections and connected parts.Ĭard 3 is similar to Card 1 except it covers the available strength for square, rectangular and round HSS shapes.Ĭard 4 gives a summary for stability design of structures using either the first-order, effective length, or direct analysis methods. The Basic Design Value Cards are a design aid for the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-16). Thus, this database is the compilation of all of the structural steel shape dimensions and properties recorded by AISC from the year 1873 to 2010.Īn electronic Shapes Database for ASTM A1085 rectangular, square and round HSS can be downloaded here. This resource provides electronic access to dimensions and properties of shapes published in the AISC Manual since the 5th Edition and shapes from before that era as originally published in the book Iron and Steel Beams 1873-1952 (the predecessor to AISC Design Guide 15, AISC Rehabilitation and Retrofit Guide). The AISC Shapes Database v15.0H (Historic) replaces the v14.1H and now includes all section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 14th Edition.

Dimensions and properties included for the 76 new shapes added to the 15th Edition Manual.The AISC Shapes Database Version 15.0 is available in Microsoft Excel format. customary and metric units are both included. The AISC Shapes Database version 15.0 (v15.0) replaces v14.1 and contains electronic access to section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th Edition.

A new plastic section modulus table for coped W-shapes is also provided. Steel Construction Manual Table 6-2 is provided for 65 and 70 ksi W-shapes, and HSS members with both ASTM A500 Gr. Manual, including compression tables for composite HSS columns and the combined loading table for W-shapes. Included are some tables that last appeared in the 14th Ed. Volume 2: Design Tables, supplements the Manual with several additional member and connection design tables. Volume 1: Design Examples, includes examples that illustrate the application of the Specification and Manual to member and connection designs.
#VISIO CONSTRUCTION SHAPES UPDATE#
The v15.1 Companion is an update of the v15.0 Design Examples with the design examples and tables split into two separate volumes. The v15.1 Companion to the AISC Steel Construction Manual is a resource that supplements the 15th Edition Steel Construction Manual and is keyed to the 2016 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
