PREFACE
This Preface is not a part of ANSI/AISC 341-10, Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel
Buildings, but is included for informational purposes only.
The AISCSpecification for Structural Steel Buildings(ANSI/AISC 360-10) is intended
to cover common design criteria. Accordingly, it is not feasible for it to also cover all of the
special and unique problems encountered within the full range of structural design practice.
This document, the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC
341-10) (hereafter referred to as the Provisions) is a separate consensus standard that
addresses one such topic: the design and construction of structural steel and composite
structural steel/reinforced concrete building systems for high-seismic applications.
A list of Symbols and a Glossary are part of this document. Terms that appear in the
Glossary are generally italicized where they first appear in a sub-section, throughout these
Provisions. A nonmandatory Commentary with background information is also provided.
Nonmandatory user notes are interspersed throughout these Provisionsto provide guidance
on the application of the document.
This edition of the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildingswas developed
in concert with both ANSI/AISC 360-10 and ASCE/SEI 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for
Buildings and Other Structures.This will allow these Provisions to be incorporated by ref-
erence into the 2012 IBC, which will use ASCE/SEI 7-10 as its basis of design for loadings.
Some of the most significant modifications to this edition of these Provisionsare related
to format. The organization of the chapters has been changed to be more consistent with that
of ANSI/AISC 360-10. In the 2005 edition, these Provisionsseparated the requirements for
structural steel buildings from that of composite structural steel/reinforced concrete con-
struction into two parts. In this edition of the Provisions, Part I and Part II have been
combined into one document. In addition, each structural system is presented in a unified
manner with parallel headings that will ease comparison of requirements between systems
and application of the document. A Cross Reference listing is provided comparing the 2010
to the 2005 version of the Provisions.
A number of significant technical modifications have also been made since the 2005 edi-
tion of these Provisions, including the following:
• Clarifying the intended combination of this document with the provisions of ACI 318
for composite construction systems
• Establishing a new chapter on analysis requirements that applies to all systems
• Adding terms to clearly identify the level of ductile response capable of various mem-
bers in the seismic force resisting system (SFRS)
• Adding language to clarify the design of members and connections that are not part of
the SFRS for deformation compatibility
• Including a discussion of the “Basis of Design” that explains the intended seismic
response characteristics of each structural system
• Improving the consistency, clarity and completeness of how each structural system
treats all aspects of the seismic design and detailing
• Adding requirements for two cantilever column systems to be consistent with other
systems in these Provisions and the seismic design parameters ASCE/SEI 7-10

9.1–iv PREFACE
• Adding analysis requirements to address the inelastic response of special concentri-
cally braced frames
• Modifying the connection requirements for braced frame systems to ensure that the
expected deformation demands can be accommodated
• Adding requirements for the use of box-shaped link beams in eccentrically braced
frames
• Adding requirements for the use of perforated plates in special plate shear walls
• Significantly increasing the detail for the design requirements of composite systems,
such that they are consistent with structural steel systems
• Incorporating AWS D1.8/D1.8M by reference for welding related issues
The AISC Committee on Specifications, Task Committee 9—Seismic Design is respon-
sible for the ongoing development of these Provisions. The AISC Committee on
Specifications gives final approval of the document through an ANSI-accredited balloting
process, and has enhanced these Provisions through careful scrutiny, discussion and sug-
gestions for improvement. The contributions of these two groups, comprising well more
than 80 structural engineers with experience from throughout the structural steel industry, is
gratefully acknowledged. AISC further acknowledges the significant contributions of sev-
eral groups to the completion of this document: the Building Seismic Safety Council
(BSSC), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Science
Foundation (NSF), and the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC).
The reader is cautioned that professional judgment must be exercised when data or rec-
ommendations in these provisions are applied, as described more fully in the disclaimer
notice preceding the Preface.
