AISC Stability Design Guide

AISC Stability Design Guide

AISC Stability Design Guide

(OP)
I found an RFP online from AISC (from 2005) to do a design guide on stability.  I also remember 271828 mentioning this design guide about 2 years ago.

Does anyone have any idea when this might actually be out?

RE: AISC Stability Design Guide

It's not on the AISC website.  Must still be in the works.

RE: AISC Stability Design Guide

I asked again a few months ago and was told that it might be out in 2010.

RE: AISC Stability Design Guide

I first read a draft of that stability design guide in 2007 or early 2008....  Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it's a whole lot closer to being published now than it was back then.  

I thought it was a very good resource. It's just that it doesn't really conform to the format of a typical AISC Design Guide.  The draft that I looked at was something like 700 pages, much longer than your typical design guide. It's got a ton of worked examples, it's got a ton of reference appendecies.  

It's almost like an comprehensive college text book on stability.  With that in mind, perhaps it makes more sense to give up on the "Design Guide" nature of it and just releasing it as a text book with a CD of worked examples. But, then I'm sure there are funding and publishing issues that would delay it further if that decision gets made.
