2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings
2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings
(OP)
When is the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings going to be available? What is the purpose behind the new edition? Are they reformatting? Changing design procedures? When will the 2010 be adopted? I am looking at getting a reference that is current to that edition and I am wondering if I will need to get the new AISC to make sense of the reference. (The reference will not be available until Feb of next year.)
Thanks.
Thanks.

They tweaked with some phi values, prettied up some drawings, changed some comments, performed minor algebraic manipulations of some equations in order to (in AISC's opinion) make them a bit more user-friendly..
Other than chapter "N" (which I believe is on quality assurance), I'd consider the update unnecessary. Call me when someone discovers a new failure mode or when someone finds out we've been dangerously unconservative with something.

IMHO
Chapter J has many significant changes, including changes in the bearing and slip critical shear strengths of bolts.
Chapter K has been re-written. Several changes which can also be found in Design Guide 24
The 14th Edition Manual will also contain updates of the RCSC Specification and the Code of Standard Practice. Some additional tabulated information will change, including the design of single plate connections (again).

And I do recall that most of the changes did, in fact, involve connections. I considered them minor, but I guess if your primary role is as a connection engineer, it may not be so minor.
