While the actual manual is not quite yet available (it
will be sometime later this month!) I have decided to post the
update to the Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual,
16th edition. Check it out! There are no immediate plans for a hard
copy, but there are plenty of BGSCM 15th edition still available in
the BGSE Store.

Thanks to the good people at AISC, I have been working on an
update for the 16th edition of the Steel Construction Manual to be released in July 2023. Watch this
site for the latest edition of this text. It will be posted the same
week the Steel Construction Manual is released by AISC.

Good News!
The hard copy version of the BGSCM-15 Website is now available in
the BGSE Store.
We had not intended to do a hard copy, but after numerous requests
we changed our mind.
We have also updated the BGSCM-15 website to correct a large number
of typographic errors.
16 August 2017
We finished a quick pass at the update to the BGSCM 15th edition!
We'd like to think that we caught all the changes. Given the speed
of the update, however, it is likely that we missed something.
Please report any errors or oversights or typos via the link to
report problems, found on each page. Thank you for your patience.
At this point, there are no immediate plans for a hard copy,
however, let us know (at
quimbyassoc@gmail.com) if you have an opinion on the subject.
There are still hard copies of the BGSCM 14th edition available,
though quantities are limited.

For a variety of reasons, we missed our 1 August deadline for
the Steel Construction Manual 15th edition update. Sorry! We are
working on the update, but other pressing obligations mean that it
will not be completed for a couple of more weeks. We will post
chapters as they get done.
