Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details

Preference :

The need for the Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details with an LRFD approach was recognized at the time the Steel Design Handbook: LRFD Method was published. This handbook was developed to serve as a comprehensive reference source for the design of steel connections using the LRFD method. Each topic is written by leading experts in the field. Emphasis is given to provide examples from actual practice. Examples are focused to give a cost-effective approach. The theory and criteria are explained and cross-references to equations to AISC are given where applicable. The book starts with a discussion of fasteners for structural connections. It then goes into the design of connections for axial, moment, and shear forces. Detailed connection design aspects are covered in this chapter.
