Methodology

This page summarizes AISC 360-22 member-engine checks against the AISC Steel Construction Manual 16th Edition Companion, Volume 1: Design Examples, Version 16.0.

  • Independent source: Expected values are taken from published companion worked examples, not engine snapshots or generated baselines.
  • Engine path: 39 rows exercise the AISC360_22 engine through member inputs and compare the resulting capacity or interaction ratio.
  • Formula path: 3 D-chapter rupture rows supply Ae directly because connection geometry is outside the member-engine input scope.
  • Scope: Connections, composite design, frame direct-analysis examples, plate-girder stiffener design, solid bars, and open-section warping torsion remain outside this page.

Verification Results

Each row compares an engine result against a published reference value. The difference column shows the percentage deviation.

Largest current delta. This F7 slender HSS case uses the engine's exact shifted-neutral-axis effective-section calculation; the Manual Companion example uses the simpler conservative symmetric effective-width calculation.
