In response to a growing need for high performance, sustainable materials in the built environment, two new AISC standards, and a new edition of AISC Design Guide 27, are now available: Code of Standard Practice for Structural Stainless Steel Buildings (AISC 313-21) Specification for Structural Stainless Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 370-21) Structural Stainless Steel, 2nd Edition (AISC Design Guide 27) This session will describe the relationship of the new stainless steel Specification and Code to the existing publications for carbon steel. The primary differences between the Code in Stainless Steel (AISC 313) and the Code in Carbon Steel (AISC 303) will be covered using examples from both architectural and industrial applications. Guidance on how to select an appropriate stainless steel alloy for a specific project will be given and best practice fabrication procedures will also be presented.
