Connections in Steel Structures III: Behaviour, Strength and Design

Focused on recent developments in the analysis and design of steel and composite connections. A major emphasis is placed on the technical intricacies of the semi-rigid concept, detailing mechanical modeling techniques, finite element simulations, and the prediction of moment-rotation characteristics for various joint geometries. Numerous papers examine specific applications, including the seismic performance of moment end-plate connections, the behavior of concrete-filled hollow section (RHS) joints, and novel solutions like using rolled wide-flange sections as bridge support bearings. Furthermore, the documentation addresses the practical implementation of advanced design principles, providing guidelines related to ductility, material overstrength, and the ongoing codification efforts within Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 4. The collection also includes studies on specialized components such as high-strength QST-steel welds and injection bolts, reflecting a holistic view of structural integrity from component design to overall frame stability.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
