Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international ~F]- +|
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln BO ^T
:
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two Xl%&hM
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on W,> ;`>
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design 'x10\Q65[
philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test 0)qLW&
w
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This SIRZ_lt$r
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. qx/GioPU
Formed in 1947 and formerly known as the Research Council on Riveted and HgX 4RSU
Bolted Structural Connections, the Research Council on Structural Connections is a [w)6OT
nonprofit technical body composed of consulting engineers, educational institutions ^Q _ 0Zq^H
trade associations and government agencies, and individual members. Its membership Z)(C7,Xu
is classified according to interest either as producers, users, or general interest, and its ji2i f.t@
purpose is to promote technical information and the knowledge of economical, efficient j:,* Liz
and safe practices related to the design and installation of bolted structural connections. #PmF@
