Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international 2?%*UxcO
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln !O"2)RU1
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two &6CDIxH{
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on []@@
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design A[m?^vk q
philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test NOs00 H
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This YaS!YrpI
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. ?MFC(Wsh

is classified according to interest either as producers, users, or general interest, and its B bmw[Qf\
purpose is to promote technical information and the knowledge of economical, efficient 8i]
