Preface
This Design Guide provides guidance forthe design of castellatd and cellular beams based on structural principles and adhering to the 2016 AISC Specification for Srrucharal Steel Buildings and the 14th Edition AISC Steel Construction Marual. Both loadand resistance factor design and allowable strength design methods are employed in the design examples.
