ANSI/AISC 360-10

An American National Standard

and all previous versions of this specification

Approved by the AISC Committee on Specifications

CHAPTER B
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

This chapter addresses general requirements for the analysis and design of steel structures
applicable to all chapters of the specification.

The chapter is organized as follows:


B1. General Provisions
B2. Loads and Load Combinations
B3. Design Basis
B4. Member Properties
B5. Fabrication and Erection
B6. Quality Control and Quality Assurance
B7. Evaluation of Existing Structures

B1. GENERAL PROVISIONS


The design of members and connections shall be consistent with the intended behav-
ior of the framing system and the assumptions made in the structural analysis.
Unless restricted by the applicable building code, lateral load resistance and stabil-
ity may be provided by any combination of members and connections.

B2. LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS


The loads and load combinations shall be as stipulated by the applicable building
code. In the absence of a building code, the loads and load combinations shall be
those stipulated in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
(ASCE/SEI 7). For design purposes, the nominal loads shall be taken as the loads
stipulated by the applicable building code.

User Note: When using ASCE/SEI 7, for design according to Section B3.3
(LRFD), the load combinations in ASCE/SEI 7, Section 2.3 apply. For design
according to Section B3.4 (ASD), the load combinations in ASCE/SEI 7, Section
2.4 apply.

B3. DESIGN BASIS


Designs shall be made according to the provisions for load and resistance factor
design (LRFD) or to the provisions for allowable strength design (ASD).
1. Required Strength
The required strength of structural members and connections shall be determined by
structural analysis for the appropriate load combinations as stipulated in Section B2.

Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, June 22, 2010


AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Sect. B3.] DESIGN BASIS 16–11

Design by elastic, inelastic or plastic analysis is permitted. Provisions for inelastic


and plastic analysis are as stipulated in Appendix 1, Design by Inelastic Analysis.
2. Limit States
Design shall be based on the principle that no applicable strength or serviceability
limit state shall be exceeded when the structure is subjected to all appropriate load
combinations.

Design for structural integrity requirements of the applicable building code shall be
based on nominal strength rather than design strength (LRFD) or allowable strength
(ASD), unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable building code. Limit
states for connections based on limiting deformations or yielding of the connection
components need not be considered for meeting structural integrity requirements.

For the purpose of satisfying structural integrity provisions of the applicable building
code, bearing bolts in connections with short-slotted holes parallel to the direction of
the tension load are permitted, and shall be assumed to be located at the end of the slot.
3. Design for Strength Using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
Design according to the provisions for load and resistance factor design (LRFD)
satisfies the requirements of this Specification when the design strength of each
structural component equals or exceeds the required strength determined on the
basis of the LRFD load combinations. All provisions of this Specification, except
for those in Section B3.4, shall apply.

Design shall be performed in accordance with Equation B3-1:


Ru ≤ φRn (B3-1)
where
Ru = required strength using LRFD load combinations
Rn = nominal strength, specified in Chapters B through K
φ = resistance factor, specified in Chapters B through K
φRn = design strength
4. Design for Strength Using Allowable Strength Design (ASD)
Design according to the provisions for allowable strength design (ASD) satisfies the
requirements of this Specification when the allowable strength of each structural
component equals or exceeds the required strength determined on the basis of the
ASD load combinations. All provisions of this Specification, except those of Section
B3.3, shall apply.

Design shall be performed in accordance with Equation B3-2:


Ra ≤ Rn /Ω (B3-2)
where
Ra = required strength using ASD load combinations
Rn = nominal strength, specified in Chapters B through K
Ω = safety factor, specified in Chapters B through K
Rn /Ω = allowable strength
