- AISC Steel Manual Procedure Determining Loads: 1. Estimate Dead Load acting on the beam. For an engineering project, this would be estimated based upon floor weight from the structural computer model. However, 100 psf is a good estimation to start a basic design. 2. Look up Live Load from ASCE 7-05 Table 4-1 on page 12. Design of Bolts in Shear-Bearing Connections per AISC LRFD 3rd Edition (2001) Jose-Miguel Albaine, M.S., P.E. Course Content A) Bolted Connections 1. Introduction Failure of structural members is not common, but most structural failures are caused by poorly designed or detailed connections. In times past, the pin device most often used was the viii A Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual www.bgstructuralengineering.com Preface The creation of the Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual (BGSCM) was prompted by the major rewrite of the AISC specification that appeared in the 13th edition of the Steel Construction Manual (SCM). 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures" (ASCE 2010), and also special requirements from IBC 2012 International Building " Code" (IBC 2012). Both LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) and ASD (Allowable Strength Design) codes are included in this implementation under the same AISC 360-10 code name. Design Examples V14.0 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION iii PREFACE The primary objective of these design examples is to provide illustrations of the use of the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10) and the 14th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual. The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is a non-profit technical institute and trade association established in 1921 to serve the structural steel design community and construction industry in the United States. AISC is offering this teaching aid and learning tool for educational purposes only. ASDIP STEEL is a structural engineering software utilized by engineers f
