Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges
Summary:
As in any industry, trade practices have developed
among those that are involved in the design, purchase,
fabrication and erection of structural steel. This Code
provides a useful framework for a common understanding
of the acceptable standards when contracting for structural
steel. As such, it is useful for owners, architects, engineers,
general contractors, construction managers, fabricators,
steel detailers, erectors and others that are associated
with construction in structural steel. Unless specific
provisions to the contrary are contained in the contract
documents, the existing trade practices that are contained
herein are considered to be the standard custom and usage
of the industry and are thereby incorporated into the
relationships between the parties to a contract.
The Symbols
and Glossary are an integral part of this Code. In many
sections of this Code, a non-mandatory Commentary has
been prepared to provide background and further explanation
for the corresponding Code provisions. The user is encouraged
to consult it.
Since the first edition of this Code was published in
1924, AISC has
continuously surveyed the structural steel design community
and construction industry to determine standard trade
practices. Since then, this Code has been periodically
updated to reflect new and changing technology and industry
practices.
The 2000 edition was the fifth complete revision of this
Code since it was first
published. The 2005 edition is not a complete revision
but does add several important changes and updates. It
is the result of the deliberations of a fair and balanced
Committee, the membership of which included six structural
engineers, two architects,one code official, one general
contractor, eight fabricators, one steel detailer, three
erectors, two inspectors, and one attorney.
