American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) - Seismic Design Manual, 4th Edition
The Seismic Design Manual is a practical guide to the design of earthquake-resistant steel structures, with detailed calculation examples, code explanations, and reference materials.
The manual helps design engineers apply seismic design requirements from American codes, primarily:
AISC 341 – Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings
AISC 360 – Specification for Structural Steel Buildings
ASCE 7 – Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures
What the AISC Seismic Design Manual contains:
Explanations and comments on the requirements of AISC 341 – how to apply the rules in calculations.
Step-by-step calculation examples for typical elements and joints: moment frames, eccentrically braced frames, concentrically braced frames, and beam-to-column connections, brace connections, etc.
Tables and reference data for quickly evaluating element parameters.
Examples of design based on seismic resistance levels (e.g., for different seismicity categories and building types).
Explanation of the ductility-based design philosophy.
