Construction, provides the generally applicable requirements for the design and construction of structural steel
buildings and other structures.
- AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings: This ANSI-approved specification, issued by American
Institute of Steel Construction, is a companion to the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings that
extends coverage to the connection detailing and member design requirements for structural steel and
composite structural steel and reinforced concrete systems in high-seismic applications.
- AISC Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moments Frames for Seismic Applications: This
standard has been developed by the AISC Connection Prequalification Review Panel in accordance with
Appendix P of the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings. The connections have been pre-qualified for
use in special and intermediate steel moment frames, without the need for additional testing. The standard
currently addresses three types of connections - the reduced beam section (RBS) connection, the bolted un-
stiffened extended end plate (BUEP) connection, and the bolted stiffened extended end plate (BSEP)
connection.
