Design and analysis of connections in steel structures : fundamentals and examples / Alfredo Boracchini. - Berlin, Germany : Ernst & Sohn, a Wiley Brand, c2018 - xxiv, 356 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Fundamental concepts of joints in design of steel structures -- Fundamental concepts of the behavior of steel connections -- Limit states for connection components -- Connection types: analysis and calculation -- Choosing the type of connection -- Practical notes on fabrication -- Connection examples.


"The book introduces all the aspects needed for the safe and economic design and analysis of connections using bolted joints in steel structures. This is not treated according to any specific standard but making comparison among the different norms and methodologies used in the engineering practice, e.g. Eurocode, AISC, DIN, BS. Several examples are solved and illustrated in detail, giving the reader all the tools necessary to tackle also complex connection design problems. The book is introductory but also very helpful to advanced and specialist audiences because it covers a large variety of practice demands for connection design. Parts that are not taken to an advanced level are seismic design, welds, interaction with other materials (concrete, wood), and cold formed connections."--Book cover
