AISC 360-22 Verification
Published AISC Steel Construction Manual 16th Edition Companion, Volume 1: Design Examples, Version 16.0.
Verification Methodology
Published benchmark cases are compared with AutoCalcs results using the stated section, material, loading and restraint assumptions.
The table contains 42 published comparisons: 42 numerical results and 0 classification outcomes.
The average is the mean absolute percentage difference across numerical comparisons, calculated before rounding. Classification outcomes show Match or Mismatch and are excluded from the numerical average.
References come from AISC Manual Companion v16.0. The tension-rupture comparisons use the published effective net area; bolt layout and connection shear lag are specified inputs.
