Publisher's Synopsis
This updated version of the first edition examines the strength and deformation behavior of riveted and bolted structural connectors and the joints in which they are used. Revisions reflect advances made in knowledge of slip-resistant connections, fatigue of bolted and riveted connections, beam-to-column connections and more. The book begins with the historical background of high strength bolts and rivets and continues with a discussion of the behavior of individual fasteners, covering the various types of connections that are encountered in structural engineering practice. It presents design criteria as a summary to each of the various aspects of connector and joint behavior.
