Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international ~,*=j~#h
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln |OgtAI9
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two EWI2qaSnO
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on x#_\b-
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design S<

philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test G*oqhep
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This f
WUFCbSU
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. ~\UH`_83[
