RR 21.00.02-2.1 AISC 360-16

The program can now perform steel design of members per ANSI/AISC 360-16 Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings.

The seismic provisions of AISC 341-16 are also implemented.

Performance Enhancements - Design for CODE CHECK / MEMBER SELECT up to 20 times faster than AISC 360-10.

Detailed Design output - TRACK 0,1, & 2 reports improved to display more intermediate results.

AISC 360-16 Design

To use the 2016 edition, specify the command:

CODE AISC UNIFIED 2016

The checking or selection of members is performed per the following sections of AISC 360-16 and AISC 341-16:

Section Classification: Chapter B
Tension Chapter D
Compression: Chapter E
Flexure: Chapter F
Shear: Chapter G
Torsion (Including checks as per DG-9 for certain profile shapes – see below): Chapter H & Design Guide 9 for Torsion design
Combined actions – Chapter H for:
- Axial and/or
- Flexure and/or
- Shear and/or
- Torsion
Checks for Seismic suitability – AISC 341-16

The following section profile shapes are allowed for design:

Rolled Shapes
- I-Shape
- Channel
- Single angle
- Solid Circular bar
- Solid Rectangular bar
- Tee
- HSS rectangular
- HSS round
Built Up Shapes
- Built Up Channel
- Built Up I
- Double Channels – back to back
- Double Channels – face to face
- Double Angles
- Built Up Box
- I With Cover Plates (Top and/or bottom)
Tapered Shapes
- I with web tapered
- Square hollow shape with wall tapered
- Circular hollow shape diameter tapered

Note: Certain checks (e.g., DG-9 torsion checks) will only be performed for certain profile shapes (non-HSS shapes).
