Research on the topic of steel frames with semi-rigid connections
has been conducted over the past 10 years. With the publication of the
2005 AISC specifications as well as Eurocode 3, practical implementation
of the use of PR connections in structural systems is now a real
possibility. The Semi-rigid Connections Handbook presents a
simple and comprehensive introduction that will help design
practitioners implement these new developments into engineering
practice. Beginning with a discussion of the new specifications and
classifications of these connections, the authors go on to show, on the
basis of the collected connections database, practical mathematical
models for computer implementation and provide case studies on these
frames including composite construction. With the help of the
user-friendly list of collected data in tabular form with illustrative
figures, information on semi-rigid connections is now available in a
single publication and may ultimately result in its wide-spread usage
among practitioners.
Key Features: -Introduces the 2005 AISC specifications and the new Eurocode 3 on semi-rigid construction -Includes more than 900 pages of semi-rigid connection test data in tabular form with figures -Provides connection models for analysis and design with case studies -Includes the recent development of steel-concrete composite connections with case studies -WAV offers updated connection data, the Steel Connection Data Bank
(SCDB) program, references, and a link to the semi-rigid website at the
Muroran Institute of Technology (MIT), Japan.
