INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT The first step in the process of managing security risks is to identify and analyze the threats and the vulnerabilities facing a facility by conducting a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA). The SVA is a systematic process...
The CRSI Design Handbook has been the reference book for cast-in-place reinforced concrete design since 1952. The 10th edition provides the necessary information needed for common reinforced concrete structural members such as columns, beams, footings, pile caps, retaining walls, and...
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE The objective of this Design Guide is to assist the practicing engineer in determining the appropriate layout, loading and serviceability requirements for steel-framed stairways based on the applicable code requirements. Typical types of stairways and guards are presented...
PURPOSE OF THIS DESIGN GUIDE With the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC, 2005a), hereafter referred to as the AISC Specification, the state of the art was advanced to include three methods for stability design, including the introduction of a powerful new...
Introduction This document provides suggested methods for the design of web-tapered I-shaped beams and columns, as well as frames that incorporate web-tapered I-shaped beams and/or columns. Both the requirements for analysis and rules for proportioning of web-tapered framing members are...
Preface This Design Guide is a supplement to the 13th edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Steel Construction Manual and its companion CD. The Manual contains sections on bolting to hollow structural sections (HSS), welding considerations for HSS, simple shear...
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE The objective of this Design Guide is to assist the practicing engineer in achieving economical slab edge details for steel frames that are structurally sound, durable, and accommodating of the performance requirements of the particular façade system. The focus is...
Introduction The Construction Industry Institute (CII, 1993) defi nes constructability as the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement and fi eld operations to achieve overall project objectives. Those who advocate this concept believe that...
SCOPE OF WELDING Welding engineering is a complex science, involving design and design details, metallurgy, the production aspects of the various welding processes, and inspection. Design involves the selection of joint types, weld types, sizing of welds, and selection of the...
INTRODUCTION Steel plate shear walls (SPW) have been used in a significant number of buildings, beginning decades ago, before the existence of design requirements specifically addressing this structural system. Implementation has accelerated significantly since the recent publication...
