AISC 360-10 Members (14th, 2010)

AISC 360-10 is the 14th edition of the “Specification for Structural Steel Buildings,” published by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) in June 2010. It provides a unified approach to both Allowable Strength Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).

This standard covers:

• Tension and Compression Checks (Chapters D and E), including torsional and flexural-torsional buckling
• Bending (Chapter F), Shear (Chapter G), and Combined Forces (Chapter H)
• Design of doubly symmetric I-beams, singly symmetric channels, T-shapes, circular and rectangular tubes, bars

SDC Verifier automates member checks according to AISC 360-10, including:

• Optional inclusion of torsion checks
• Automated member recognition and stiffener spacing detection
• Support for custom C_b values and second-order effects
• Integration with API RP 2A-LRFD for tubular elements

All calculations follow the standard’s specifications and can be traced in detailed reports directly from your FEA model.
