第三版AISC抗震设计手册包括针对2016年AISC抗震规定更新的综合设计示例、设计示例的并行LRFD和ASD设计方法、连接设计的详细示例，包括面板区详图和支撑至梁/柱连接设计选项，集电元件的扩展讨论和更经济的设计方法，以及屈曲约束支撑框架的示例。此外，还包括两个与AISC抗震相关的标准:2016年《AISC钢结构建筑抗震规定》（ANSI/AISC 341-16）和2016年《AISC抗震应用特殊和中间钢框架预鉴定连接》（ANSI/AISC 358）- 16).

The 3rd Edition AISC Seismic Design Manual includes comprehensive design examples, updated for the 2016 AISC Seismic Provisions, side-by-side LRFD and ASD design methodologies for design examples, thorough examples on connection design, including panel zone detailing and brace-to-beam/column connection design options, extended discussion and more economical design methodology for collector elements, and examples for buckling-restrained braced frames. Also, included are two AISC seismic-related standards: the 2016 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 341-16) and the 2016 AISC Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications (ANSI/AISC 358-16).
