I agree with JAE and Nutte that you should satisfy the current governing code, but you shouldn't need three different editions of all other standards/specs. Now if AISC could just help the AASHTO bridge people get a clue! RE: can i still use ASD 9th edition nutte (Structural) 20 Sep 10 14:39 Otherwise, I really like the new unified spec's. I wish they'd just list only the nominal values in the tables and figures, and without the phi reduction, it would be so much easier to read, would work for both ASD and LRFD, and adaptable to specific instances where different safety factors are applicable, like in construction engineering. It's cluttered and is like reading documents with two languages on the same page.

My only gripe about the new code is that I wish they wouldn't list both allowable and phi-nominal values. Time to make the switch.Дesigning with the 9th shouldn't cause any problems-I agree with Jae's comment's, (remember the supplement got rid of the stress increase):ДЎ) Look at the new lateral buckling equations, the new code is far less conservative here.Дў) The LRFD 'factors' are calibrated so they match the old ASD. RE: can i still use ASD 9th edition delagina (Structural) Perhaps the building codes should adopt wording that acknowledges that specifications change and provide a grace period for implementation of the changes. We have already began updating our programs to meet the changes in the 2010 Spec and 14th Edition Manual. Involvement in this process, review of the research, and the committee discussions that result in improvements or changes, excludes our company from an 'ignorance is bliss' defense.

We are actively involved in the development of the Specification and Manual for Steel Construction.

Good or bad, our company's position is that the most current specification should apply exclusively. If a building code, chooses to disagree with specific changes in a product specification, the exclusions should be specific and provide clear explanations. Luckily there are some good changes that result. But, I believe that the current specification should apply regardless of economy. I agree that in some cases the current spec is less conservative. In 2005, Chapter K provides information for HSS walls.

In 1999, the loading requirements where referred to ASCE 7. From 1993-2005 no errata was published for the 1989 ASD Manual unless the change was considered a safety issue. 1989, 1993, 1999, 2005 And errata published for each specification. vs.The primary issue, is significant changes in the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.

Obviously, you could very easily print off the older specifications for free and inoculate yourself a bit that way.

Nobody around with the older manuals that you could borrow from? Just imagine if you fail and then require the newer manual for the next round after procuring the older one? That would suck. Otherwise, I feel that the newer manual would be a better investment. If you think that you'll be cutting it so close that you couldn't afford to miss a point or two, get the older manual. I tanked a couple of points as a result because I attempted something by hand that would have been much faster using values tabulated in the manual. For one exam, I forgot my steel manual but did have the Structural Engineering Reference Manual. For three of them, I used incorrect versions of the manual and, to my knowledge, didn't lose a single point on account of that. I've done steel design on four separate exams now. The stuff that you'd need the manual for tends to also be stuff that isn't changing quickly (tabulated bolt capacities etc). Are there enough small factors/equations that have changed to really constitute a pass/fail?ДЇor me the answer would be no.
