New 14th Edition AISC Manual - Are you Buying Right Away?
(OP)
Based on my previous thread regarding all the errata in the 13th Edition (due to me buying the first printing right away) are your plans to wait a while before buying? Or buy right away and hope for fewer errata this time around?

My hope is that this version of the manual will have considerably less errata than the last version. After all, they are really just updating existing information now.
That's should be easier than what they were attempting with the last edition... their first combined ASD/LRFD manual. Even if their quality control process did not improve, I would still expect a better product this time around.

The 14th Edition is mostly a copy of the 13th, so I'd have no issue buying the first one. And no, I'm not an AISC employee. LOL.

But of course, if you buy it, wait until it's required and some of the errata are revised. Despite being engineers, AISC does not properly review their work. I would be fired if I put out documents with the quality control of AISC 360. It's indefensible.

My guess is that Weab is really rerring to the steel manual and all the tables, examples, charts and such contained therein.
