I've been a licensed practicing structural engineer for 19 years, and I use the 9th edition. 13th edition Lion06 (Structural) 14 Aug 09 15:29 That argument is settled.Ĭomments? RE: AISC 9th edition vs. What book does your company use? Did you move to 13th edition because you felt you have to because of codes?Īnd PLEASE, don't try to argue that 13th is just as fast. I'd like to know where the typical engineer stands on this matter. When a question regarding 9th edition is posed, AISC ignores that and says to use 13th ed. Using their own publications and magazines such as "Modern Steel Construction, I believe that they have monopolized the conversation. I would like AISC, or another organization, to produce an updated Stress design.ĪISC is still pretending that everyone uses and loves Strength design. We must order steel often before sizes can be finalized and schedules are always critical. Our work in the petro-chemical, offshore, and general industry usually means that time is more important than saving 10% steel weight. My company uses 9th edition, Allowable "Stress" Design and not 13th edition Allowable "Strength" Design.
