Connection Design Resource???
Connection Design Resource???
(OP)
Ladies & Gents,
I have been an EIT for about 2-years now and have yet to find a good connection design resource, which includes good design examples and procedures. Would any of you recommend any source in particular. I am interested in the design of moment connections, simple brace to column/beam connections (using the Uniform Force Method), both column and beam splice connections, etc.. Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated. It's frustrating that many of these frequently encountered topics are not really addressed within most undergraduate curriculums. Guess that may be the value of graduate school?

RE: Connection Design Resource???
Here are a couple of good resources......
Manual of Steel Construction, Volume II Connections, AISC
Engineering for Steel Construction, AISC
Design of Welded Structures, Omar Blodgett
RE: Connection Design Resource???
Salmon and Johnson has information in their text.
Additionally, check out this link

and click on DG 21. It is a Design Guide for welded connections. If you can't view that try this

Proposed modification to AISCs Code of Standard Practice Section 3.1.2
Charles J. Carter, P.E., S.E.
A joint task group has developed a proposed modification to Section 3.1.2 of the American Institute of Steel Construction's (AISC) Code of Standard Practice. This proposal seeks to address, in a direct and workable manner, the practice of delegating connection design work to a licensed engineer working for the steel fabricator. Any and all comments are welcome. more

RE: Connection Design Resource???
Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details
by Tamboli (ISBN 0070614970)
and
the AISC Hollow Structural Sections Connections Manual
Both are excellent resources, with lots of worked out example problems.
