AISC publishes the Steel Construction Manual, an authoritative volume on steel building structure design that is referenced in all U.S. building codes. The organization works with government agencies, policymakers, and other stakeholders to promote policies and regulations that support the industry's growth and development. History Foundation In 1911, two civil engineering organizations, the Bridge Builders Society and the Structural Steel Society, began cooperating to form broad codes of ethics and practices within the profession.“ In 1917, during World War I, the two groups merged into the War Service Committee which helped procure fabricated structural steel and coordinate industry efforts] However, by 1919 the Committee was disbanded but some steel fabricators insisted on creating a new association to promote the structural steel industry nationally, founding the National Steel Fabricators American Institute of Steel Construction Abbreviati ion Predecessor Formation Founded at Type Website Formerly called AISC's logo lsc Bridge Builders Society Structural Steel Society 1921 Chicago Nonprofit Professional association www aisc.org (https:/www.ais c.orgl) The National Stee! Fabricators Association (1919-1921) War Service Committee (1917-1919) Association, which was renamed in 1922 to become the American Institute of Steel Construction, however, the Institute lists 1921 as their foundation year, as that was the year a uniform telegraphiccode for the entire industry was created by the National Steel Fabricators Association which triggered the group's transformation from a group of steel manufacturers to the industry standard professional ‘ety society! Publications Steel Construction Manual According to the AISC, the Steel Construction Manual is the "premier reference for structural steel design and construction in the United States” having been published since 1927. Editions are usually made every five to six years to keep up with developments in structural steel codes and standards and to incorporate new materials.(2)Image IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED IMAGE NEEDED 10 1" Published 1927 1934 1937 1941 1946 1963 1970 March 1928, May 1928, December 1928, April 1929, January 1930, ‘April 1930, December 1930, January 1932, October 1932 January 1934, May 1936, May 1936 1939, March 1940, 1941 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1947, 1947, 1947, 1948, 1948, 1948, 1949, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1951, 1952, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1955, 1956, 1956, 1957, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1961, 1962, 1962 Four different versions of the first edition exist, each with their own errata, 1965, 1965, 1966, 1967 1973, 1974, 1975 Ref fe) fo] 3 8 cS) 3] 8IMAGE NEEDED “ IMAGE, NEEDED IMAGE | ,, NEEDED IMAGE, NEEDED 6 _ External links 2023 = Steel Buildings (https://www.metalbuildingsnorthamerica.com/) References 1.
