AISC 1989 code supplement 1,2001

AISC 1989 code supplement 1,2001

AISC 1989 code supplement 1,2001

(OP)
The new NY city code still refers to the 1989 code for ASD, but also refers to this supplement 1.

I cant find this anywhere. Does anyone know what it covers?

RE: AISC 1989 code supplement 1,2001

I believe Supplement 1 is Seismic design of steel.
So, you would be better served to go to the current version, AISC 341-05.  

This is the one referenced by the new 13th addition AISC [Steel] Construction Manual, aka AISC 360-06.
The AISC 360-06 is referenced from the current building code, the IBC 2006.

However, this version funnels you into LRFD.
You could also try AISC 341-02, if that is easier to use.

Best wishes!

Thanks nutte,

That is exactly what I needed.

randomizer,

This is exactly the problem, the code refers to the 1989 version, but the contractor wants to use the 13th edition for connection design. I did a comparison and most of the code is the same but compression is more conservative in the new code, and plate bending and bolts are more conservative in the old code.

I just needed this supplement to see what the new NYC code will refer to.




 

RE: AISC 1989 code supplement 1,2001

You should only follow what the NYC code has adopted (as a minimum).  If NYC hasn't adopted the 13th Edition, using it may not be "legally" correct.

Yes, I agree, but in most places the results are exactly the same.

Only differences I have seen so far is that buckling is more conservative in the new code and plate bending and bolt shear are more conservative in the old code.

I only compared the clauses that were of relevance to my project though.
