Since the first edition of this book was published in 1974, numerous international AOWI`
studies on the strength and performance of bolted connections have been conducted. Ln aD&10b9`
the same period, the Research Council on Structural Connections has developed two t?0=;.D
new specifications for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 bolts, one based on j zPC9
allowable stress principles and the other on a load factor and resistance design Oi7=z?+j
philosophy. In addition, the Research Council has approved and published “A Test wfZ'T#1
Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings used in Bolted Joints.” This ;<&s_C3
second, updated, edition has been prepared and approved by the Research Council. Ak_;GvC!
Formed in 1947 and formerly known as the Research Council on Riveted and H/, tE0ZV
Bolted Structural Connections, the Research Council on Structural Connections is a U;jk+i
nonprofit technical body composed of consulting engineers, educational institutions b-O4IDIT
trade associations and government agencies, and individual members. Its membership o9~qJnB/O
is classified according to interest either as producers, users, or general interest, and its 3c9[FZ@ya
purpose is to promote technical information and the knowledge of economical, efficient /(}V!0\?
and safe practices related to the design and installation of bolted structural connections. j|[s?YJl
The Research Council’s Specifications have been endorsed by the Industrial D!Gm9Pa}
Fasteners Institute and endorsed and published by the American Institute of Steel uWfse19
Construction, and they form the basis of the technical requirements of other national E'r*
