Preface
This Design Guide is the second edition of AISC Design Guide 27; the first edition was publishedin 2013. Atthe time of the firstedition no provisions in accordance with U.S. practice were available for designing welded or hot-rolled stainless steel members.The rules in the first edition of this Design Guide were used as a basis for the development of ANSI/AISC 370-21 Specifica- rion for Stracnural Stainless Stee Baildings. This Design Guide has subsequently been extensively revised to be a panion tos s ss sempo e sd pod tions. Design tables are also given for bolted connections. Ten design examples demonstrate the application of the provisions inANSI/AISC 370-21.
