AISC Design Guide 12 : Modification Of Existing Welded Steel Moment Frame Connections For Seismic

The January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake caused brittle fractures in the beam-to-column connections of certain welded steel moment frame (WSMF) structures (Youssef et al. 1995). No members or buildings collapsed as a result of the connection failures and no lives were lost. Nevertheless, the occurrence of these connection fractures has resulted in changes to the design and construction of steel moment frames. Existing structures incorporating pre-Northridge1 practices may warrant re-evaluation in light of the fractures referenced above. The work described herein addresses possible design modifications to the WSMF connections utilized in pre- Northridge structures to enhance seismic performance.

AISC Design Guide 11 : Floor Vibrations Due To Human Activity

The primary objective of this Design Guide is to provide basic principles and simple analytical tools to evaluate steel framed floor systems and footbridges for vibration serviceability due to human activities. Both human comfort and the need to control movement for sensitive equipment are considered. The secondary objective is to provide guidance on developing remedial measures for problem floors.

AISC Design Guide 10 : Erection Bracing Of Low-Rise Structural Steel Buildings

This guide is written to provide useful information and design examples relative to the design of temporary lateral support systems and components for low-rise buildings. For the purpose of this presentation, low-rise buildings are taken to have the following characteristics:
(1) Function: general purpose structures for such uses as light manufacturing, crane buildings, warehousing, offices, and other commercial and institutional buildings.
(2) Proportions:
a. height: 60 feet tall or less.
b. stories: a maximum of two stories.
