ANSI/AISC 360-22, published by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), establishes structural design requirements for steel buildings using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Strength Design (ASD). The standard covers structural analysis, member strength, stability, serviceability, composite construction, and steel connections.
ANSI/AISC 360-22 – Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, published on August 1, 2022, provides engineering requirements for the design, analysis, fabrication, and erection of structural steel buildings. Key topics include: - LRFD and ASD design methodologies - Structural analysis and stability requirements - Tension, compression, flexure, and shear design - Combined forces, torsion, and member buckling - Composite steel and concrete structures - Bolted and welded structural connections - Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) - Serviceability, fabrication, and erection requirements - Quality control and quality assurance This standard supersedes ANSI/AISC 360-16 and serves as a technical reference for structural engineers, steel designers, fabricators, and construction professionals.
