AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTIONPREFACE
‘The primary objective of these design examples is to provide illustrations of the use of the 2010 AISC Specification
for Structural Stee! Buildings (A ISC 360-10) and the 14th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual.
The design examples provide coverage of all aplicable limit states whether or nota particular limit state controls the
{design of the member or connection.
In addition to the examples which demonstrate the use of the Munual tables, design examples are provided for
connection designs beyond the scope of the tables in the Manual, These design examples are intended to demonstrate
tn approach to the design, and are not intended te suggest that tae approach presented is the only spproach. The
committee responsible for the development of these design examples recognizes that designers have alternate
approaches that work hest for them and their projects. Design approaches that differ from those presented in these
examples are considered viable as long as the Specification, sound engineering, and project specific requirements are
satisfied.
Part I of these examples is orgunized to correspond with the organization of the Specification, The Chapter titles
‘match the corresponding chapters in the Specification,
Part IT is devated primarily to connection examples that draw on the tables fio the Manual, recommended design
procedures, and the breadth of the Specification, The chapters of Part Il are Inbeled II-A, IFB, II-C, ete
Pact III addresses aspects of design that are linked to the perfarmance of a building as a whole, This includes
voverage of lateral stability and sevond order analysis, ilustrated through a four-story braced-frame and moment-
frame building
‘The Design Examples are arranged with LRFD and ASD designs presented side by side, for consistency with the
AISC Manuel. Design with ASD and LRED are based on the same nominal strength for each element so that the
only differences between the approaches are which set of load combinations ftom ASCEISEI 7-10 ate used for
design and whether the resistance factor far LRED air the safety factor for ASD is used.
CONVENTIONS
‘The following conventions are used throughout these examples:
1 ‘The 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steet Buildings is relerted to as the AISC Specification and the
| 4th Fdition AISC Steel Construction Manual, is referred to ws the AISC Manual,
2 TThe source of equations or tabulated values taken from the AISC Specification or AISC Manual is noted
along the right-hard edge of the page
When the design process differs between LRED and ASD, the designs equations are presented side-by-side.
‘This rurely occurs, except when the resistunce factor, and the Safety factor, ©, ure upplie.
4 ‘The results of design equations are presented to three significant figures throughout these calculations.

In the absence of an applicable building code, the default load combinations to be used with this Specification are
those from Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCFISFI 7-10) (ASCE, 2010}
Chapter B of the AISC Specification and Part 2 of the AISC Manual describe the basis of design, for both LRED

This Section describes three basic types of connections: simple connections, fully restrained (FR) moment
connections, and partially restrained (PR) moment connections. Several examples of the design of cach of these

Design for Stability
Cl. GENERAL STABILITY REQUIREMENTS
The AISC Specification requires that the designer account for both the stability of the structural system as a
whole, and the stability of individual elements. Thus, the literal analysis used to assess stability must include
consideration of the combined effect of gravity and lateral loads, as well as member inclasticity, out-of
plumbness, out-of-straighmess and the resulting second-order offects, P-A and P-8, ‘The effects of “leaning
alumns” must also he considered, as illustrated in the examples in this chapter and in the four-story building
\design example in Part III of AISC Design Examples.
P-N and P-8 effects are illustated in AISC Specification Commentary Figure C-C2.1, Methods for addressing
Subility, including P-A und P-8 effects, are provided in AISC Specification Section C2 und Appendix 7.

EXAMPLE CIA DESIGN OF A MOMENT FRAME BY THE DIRECT ANALYSIS METHOD

Determine the required strengtts and effective length factors far the columns in the moment frame shown in
Figure C.1A-1 for the maximum gravity load combination, using CRFD and ASD. The uniform load, Wiss
includes beam selE-weight and an allowance for column selE- weight Use the dircet anslysis method. All members
are ASTM A992 material.

Solution
rom AISC Manual Table 1-1, the W12«65 has 4 = 19.1 in?
The beams from urid lines A to B and C to F and the coluens at A, D and F are pinned at both ends and do not
contribute tothe lateral stability of the frame, There are no P-A effects fo consider in these members and they may
be designed using A=1.0.
The moment frame between grid Tines B and C is the source of lateral stability and therefore will be evaluated
using the provisions of Chapter C of the AISC Specification. Although the columns at grid Tines A, D and & do
not contribute to lateral stability, the forces required to stabilize them must be considered in the moment-frame
analysis. The entire frame from yrid line A to F could be modeled, but in this case the model is simplified ay
shown in Figure C.1A-2, in which the stability loads from the three “leaning” columns are combined into a single
representative column
From Chapter 2 of ASCF/SFI 7, the maximum gravity load combinations are:

Per AISC Specification Section C2.1, for LRFD, perform a second-order analysis and member strength checks
using the LRED load combinations. For ASD, perform a second-order analysis using 1.6 times the ASD load
combinations and divide the analysis results by 1.6 for the ASD member strength checks,

bending moment diagram is linear, varying from zero at the bottom to. 127 kip-ft (LRFD) or 848 kip-tt (ASD) at

Although the second-order sway multiplier (@ is fry large ut 1,60 (LRFD) or 1.66 (ASD), the change in
bending moment is small because the only sway moments re those produced by the small notional loads. For
load combinations with significant gravity and lateral loadings, the increzse in bending moments is larger.

Chapter E
Design of Members for Compression
This chapter covers the design of compression members, the most common of which are columns, The ATSC
‘Manual includes design tables for the following compression member types in their most commonly available
‘grades.
swide-flange column shapes
HSS
double angles
single angles
LRFD and ASD information is presented side-by-side for quick selection, design or verification, All of the tables
‘account for the reduced strength of sections with slender elements,
‘The design and selection method for both LRFD and ASD designs is similar to that of previous AISC
Specifications, and will provide similar designs. In this AISC Specification, ASD and LRED will provide identical
designs when the live load is approximately theee times the dead load
‘The design of built-up shapes with slender clements can be tedious and time consuming, and it is recommended
‘that standard rolled shapes be used, when possible
EI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
“The design compressive strength, @.Pq and te ullawable comprensive strength, P/Q, are determined as fullows:
2, = nominal compressive strength based on the controlling buckling mode
4. -[Link]} a ~ 1.67 (ASD)
Because His used extensively in calculations for compression members, it has been tabulated in AISC Manual
Table 4-22 far all of the common steel yield strengths
E2. EFFECTIVE LENGTH
In the AISC Specification, there is no limit on slenderness, KL/r, Per the AISC Specification Commentary, itis
recommended that KLir not execed 200, as a practical limit based on professional judgment and construction
Although there is no restriction on the unbraced length of columns, the tables of the AISC Manual are stopped at
common ot practical lengths for ordinary usage. For example, a double L3x3x%, with a in. separation has an r,
of 1.38 in. Ata KL of 200, this steut would be 237-0" long. This is thought te be a reasonable limit based on
fabrication and handling requirements
‘Throughout the AISC Marual, shapes that contain slender elements when supplied in their most common material
grade are footnoted with the letter “e”. For example, see a W14x22"
E3. FLEXURAL BUCKLING OF MEMBERS WITHOUT SLENDER ELEMENTS
Nonslender sections, including ronslender buill-up T-shaped columns and nonslender HSS volumns, are governed
by these provisions. The general design curve for critical stress versus Kir is shown in Figure E-1

Design of Members for Flexure
INTRODUCTION
This Specification chapter contains provisions for culevating the Mexural strength of member subject to simple
bending sbout one principal axis. Included are specific provisions for shaped members, channels, HSS, toes
double angles, single angles, rectangular bars, rounds and unsymmetrical shapes. Also included is a Section with
proportioning requirement for beams and girders,
There are selection tables in the AISC Manual for stazdard beams in the commonly available yield strengths. The
section property tables for mast crass sections provide information that can be used to conveniently identify
noncompact and slender element sections, LRED and ASD information is presented side-by-side
Most of the formulas from this chapter are illustrated by the following examples. The design and selection
techniques illustrated in the examples for both LRFD and ASD will result in similar designs.
FI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sclection and evaluation of all members is based on deflection requirements and strength, which is determined as

local buckiing, where applicable
"0:90 (LRFD) 9, ~ 1.67 (ASD)
This design approach is followed in all examples.
The term Ly is used throughout this chapter to describe the length between points which are either braced ayainst
lateral displacement of the compression flange or braced against twist of the cross section, Requirements for
bracing systems and the required strength and stitiness at brace points are given in AISC Specification Appendix
6
The use of C, is illustrated in several of the following examples. AISC Manual able 3-1 provides tabulated Cy
values for some common situations.
F2, DOUBLY SYMMETRIC COMPACT SHAPED MEMBERS AND CHANNELS BENT ABOUT
THEIR MAJOR AXIS
AISC Specification Section F2 applies to the design of compact beams and channels. As indicated in the User
Note in Section F2 of the AISC Specification, the vast majority of rolled L-shaped beams and channels fall into
this culeyory. The curve presented as a solid line in Figure F-1 is a generie plot of the nominal Nexural strength,
‘Mp, 88 8 function of the unbraced length, Ly, The horizontal segment of the curve atthe far lef, betwoen Ly = 0 f
and Z,, is the range where the strength is limited by flexural yielding. In this region, the nominal strength is taken
as the full plastic moment strength af the section as given by AISC Specification Equation F2-1. In the range of
the curve al the far right, starting at Z,, the strength is limited by elastic buckling, The strength in this region is
