This skill provides structured access to the AISC 360-22 Specification, enabling you to search code provisions, retrieve official equations, and locate limitations across specification chapters. Search by chapter (e.g., Chapter F for flexure) to find formulas and constraints directly.

Yes. The skill seamlessly links code provisions to step-by-step worked examples from the Design Examples v16.0. Search a specification chapter to retrieve corresponding example calculations and applications in one context.

The skill includes lightweight Python-based calculations and reference data to run ASD and LRFD strength checks side by side. Load the specification and examples, then use the included scripts to evaluate design alternatives against both methods.

The skill provides practical examples for common structural design tasks—such as W-shape column capacity checks, beam flexure design, and connection verification. Use example calculations as templates and reference against code equations to validate your own designs.

The skill is designed for engineers and educators familiar with AISC design methods. Basic knowledge of LRFD and ASD approaches, along with structural concepts, helps you navigate specification chapters and apply worked examples effectively.
