Chapter C Design for stability
PDF page 94 · AISC 360-22
This chapter addresses requirements for the design of structures for stability. The direct analysis method is presented herein.
The chapter is organized as follows:
- General Stability Requirements
- C2. Calculation of Required Strengths
- C3. Calculation of Available Strengths
User Note: Alternative methods for the design of structures for stability are provided in Appendices 1 and 7. Appendix 1 provides alternatives that allow consideration of member imperfections and/or inelasticity directly within the analysis and provides for a more detailed evaluation of the limit states. Appendix 7 provides the effective length method and a first-order elastic method.
