The 2016 update of the American Institute of Steel Construction standard “Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications (ANSI/AISC 358-16)” has nine prequalified beam-to- column moment connections, or four more than the 2010 edition and seven more than the original 2005 standard.
Interested parties have until May 16 to comment on the final draft of the 2016 Code of Standard Practice for Structural Steel Buildings and Bridges, which the American Institute of Steel Construction Inc. plans to release this fall.
