Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international IR*g>q
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln . &dh7` l
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two Z]$RO
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on 2o0.ttBAqZ
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design [ emUyF
philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test 0\ G`AO;D
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This j, SOL9yg
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. kcy?;b; z
Formed in 1947 and formerly known as the Research Council on Riveted and (kpn"]^'
Bolted Structural Connections, the Research Council on Structural Connections is a &^EC Q
nonprofit technical body composed of consulting engineers, educational institutions `v*UY
trade associations and government agencies, and individual members. Its membership X[L6Av
is classified according to interest either as producers, users, or general interest, and its .&:GO D
purpose is to promote technical information and the knowledge of economical, efficient +r7uIwi$@
and safe practices related to the design and installation of bolted structural connections. K6#9HF'2I
The Research Council’s Specifications have been endorsed by the Industrial ]~my<3j}or
Fasteners Institute and endorsed and published by the American Institute of Steel 7X3<8:%
