This comprehensive design reference contains CSA S16:24, Design and construction of steel structures and CISC Commentary.
Published by the CISC since 1967, the Handbook of Steel Construction is the standard reference for the design and detailing of structural steel in Canada. The 13th Edition has been updated to reflect changes to CSA S16:24, and it is intended to be used in conjunction with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) 2025.
This edition is a significant expansion of the Handbook, including the addition of design guidance for more connection types in Part 3, the addition of more sections to the resistance and properties tables, and the reorganization of Parts 6 to 8 into the expanded Parts 6 to 10.
Member design tables are based on steel grades ASTM A992, A572 Grade 50, A913 and A572 Grade 65, A500 Grade C, and CSA G40.21-350W.
This edition includes the following parts, with new content highlighted:
