This is a vintage 1952 edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual, Fifth Edition, Thirteenth Printing. It serves as a comprehensive guide for architects, engineers, and fabricators involved in steel structures. The manual includes the ‘Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges’ as revised June 26, 1952. This is a crucial reference for historical steel construction practices and engineering standards. The book features a durable blue hardcover and some internal tabbed pages, indicating its use as a practical reference tool. While showing signs of age appropriate for a book from 1952, it remains a valuable resource.
