Right! 4th, 5th edition, USED, for cheap, is what you want.If you have one of these, and realize what you're looking at in a photo, you can approximate scale a lot better . . . SGL < So, the formal title of the desired reference book is, "AISC Manual"? Thanks, Brian Chapman |

When all you have to work with is an old General Arrangement drawing it's very difficult to determine what the actual size of structural sections is. Al |

Not precisely, but a good start. It's a simplified version for architects (I am one, so I can say that!) SGL |

I may be too late to jump into this discussion , but before everyone
runs out to the nearest college bookstore to buy the most current AISC Manual , please note that many steel connections, details, and sections have been removed from current steel fabrication practices (in favor of hi-tens welding and bolted connections and higher strength steel materials), plus as another reader pointed out, the common "car building" sections have been replaced as well. Best bet would be to dig around used book sites for AISC manuals from the 40's and earlier, when those methods were still "en vogue" - however, I'm not sure what all this information is going to do to for a model builder other than give him a migrain. The book this gentlemen found is probably the Architect's reference guide book that shows the basic dimensional properties of steel sections, plate, etc. This would be worth having - if only for the building component.

Handbook. It even has special sizes for railroad use, at least in theFor estimating the sizes of structural shapes, get a AISC edition I have.<<< edition, and it seems to not have the z bar shapes in it. I have aRight, that's the "Steel Manual" I was referring to. I have a 7th 5th ed. somewhere, and I think that had the "carbuilder's channels" and the z bars in it. -SGL<< It's the 5th Edition I have. I got it about 1960. AISC = AmericanInstitute of Steel Construction. -Al< Just ordered the following title from Powell's Books, $10 used plus shipping. Is this book the one you're all talking about? Steel Construction 5ed a Manual for Arch (itects?) Aisc / 1949 |
