Industrial Buildings of the 1950s and 1960s
Industrial Buildings of the 1950s and 1960s
(OP)
Does anyone know and/or have any copies of good references for industrial building structural design from the 1950s, 60s, and even 70s? I always seem to do work on buildings of this era and I would like to see some old reference materials the engineers of that day and time had. I am willing to pay for the resources, so if you all know a place online that sells them please feel free to recommend that. I just want to find access to the information. I'm a younger engineer that just wants to learn from the past. I have seen a lot of these buildings and they all have similar framing bay sizes, layouts, etc. so I assume there were some references at the time that kind of laid out a standard.
Thank you to all,
Nick

At a minimum, these books will help familiarize you with the "old" Allowable Stress Design method that was used exclusively during this time - not LRFD or today's version of ASD.
Look through AISC "Modern Steel Construction" archive, it goes back to 1961. You may get pertinent information there or leads to other sources:

Be sure to look through my website, there are some documents scattered around that may help, and everything is free - of course:
