2022 - Are You Properly Specifying Materials, (Modern Steel Construction, June 2022)

Are you Properly Specifying Materials - Tavarez, Modern Steel Construction, June 2022.

This appears to be current as of 4/27/2024.

Worth noting (6/5/24)
HSS rectangular and square A500 Grade C is now the predominant/preferred material. This is F[sub]y[/sub] = 50 ksi material versus the previously more common Grade B F[sub]y[/sub] = 46 ksi. (See Steel Tube Institute seminar, June 6, 2024) (This isn't on the website yet). (still not found, 8/26/24).

The previous version appears to be in Modern Steel Construction, April 2018.

There appears to also be versions from February and April 2015.

February 2012.
January 2009.

Most of those are directly linked through this FAQ entry.
1999 - 2018 - Are You Properly Specifying Materials? (linked article changed name 8/26/24)

I believe there are also ones from:
January 2004
and Jan, Feb, and March 1999.

You should be able to find them via AISC.org.
