13th edition AISC
13th edition AISC
(OP)
Right now I only have 3rd edition LRFD. Do you think it is worth the money for me to join ICC and buy the 13th edition? Will cost me over $300. What do you think?

RE: 13th edition AISC
It may be worth it just to get a feel for the Direct Analysis Method (Appendix 7) which greatly simplifies some designs. There have been several posts on this forum regarding this.
Also, I believe some of the bracing provisions have been updated.
And yes- it will probably cost you a lot.

Definitely get the 13th edition. As stated above, this includes the Direct Analysis Method. Additionally, the 13th edition puts restrictions on the use of other methods of stability analysis.
