Preface to Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details
Since the previous edition of this book was published in October 2009, there have been many developments in the various aspects of steel connection design.
Improved fabrication and construction techniques have led to efficient structural connections. The new AISC code provisions for 2016 have been incorporated in this new edition.
AISC provisions have been referenced in and made part of the International Building Code. Chapters 1 and 2 have been reworked to reflect the 2016 AISC code provisions.
Chapter 3 on welding has been completely rewritten to incorporate new welding codes and the 2016 AISC code provisions.
New information has been added on state-of-the-art welding procedures and special precautions needed for welded joints in seismically active regions.
Partially restrained connections, covered in Chap. 4, have been evolving and have been made part of the AISC code.
This chapter has been rewritten with several examples. Seismic connection and structural design addressed in Chap. 5, have been improving.
This chapter has been revised to reflect the improvements with actual examples New construction and fabrication methods used for recent special structures are described in Chap. 7. Chapter 8, on quality control and inspection, has been completely rewritten.
In many cases, the projects featured in this chapter are international; therefore, both metric and English unit tolerances are given.
