Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international "`;-5d g
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln #j Tkz
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two q]1p Q)\'p
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on `\@n&y[`7
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design m^FKE:
philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test >)D=PvGlmp
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This ]U#of O
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. 1V]ws}XW
Formed in 1947 and formerly known as the Research Council on Riveted and %f<>Kwr`2
Bolted Structural Connections, the Research Council on Structural Connections is a >K'dgJ245
nonprofit technical body composed of consulting engineers, educational institutions o_}?aI~H
trade associations and government agencies, and individual members. Its membership Z,p@toj'
is classified according to interest either as producers, users, or general interest, and its bGwOhd<.
purpose is to promote technical information and the knowledge of economical, efficient |[~S&
and safe practices related to the design and installation of bolted structural connections. A,&711Y
The Research Council’s Specifications have been endorsed by the Industrial 1Xi>&;],
Fasteners Institute and endorsed and published by the American Institute of Steel vVMoCG"f
Construction, and they form the basis of the technical requirements of other national F=Xb_Gd`
standards. dA~_[x:Z
