Textbook for AISC 13th
Textbook for AISC 13th
(OP)
I've been waiting for the new Salmon and Johnson text to come which was to be in April, but now has no projected date. Does anyone know of another text based on the new code? I'm still using ASD9th and am interested only in the ASD part of the new spec.
I currently use my own program (Mathematica) for code checks and will probably update this for the new spec. I don't know if I will do the whole program at once or do it incrementally. From previous discussions on this site the mixing of the two ASD specs has not been recommended. The products I work on now uses many single angle struts and this is probably where I would start since I have heard the new method is a more realistic design.
Thanks,
-Mike

I don't have the 13th edition manual yet so I didn't know about the CD. The worked examples are important for verifying spreadsheets etc. That looks like a good place to start.
