Yield Line Method

[CANPRO]

I had seen the yield line method mentioned a few times here on E-Tips and have been doing some reading on the subject. I would like to start using this method in practice. There are lots of great articles and references online (I found the link below very informative), but I am more of a hard-copy reference kind of guy. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good reference text for this method. I anticipate using yield line mainly for designing steel connections, but a general text or even one focused on concrete slabs would be useful at this point.

That's a tough one. There's AISC design guide 16.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

Concrete solutions centre (UK) has a great electronic textbook... Name escapes me atm.

I'm surprised this was so easy to find... I had to beg and lie to get a copy some five or so years ago! Hopefully this stupid googlised link works:

Kootk, I will look into the AISC design guide, thank you.

CEL, your link takes me to the same reference I linked to in my first post. I appreciate the effort nonetheless.

Just searching through the web, there doesn't seem to be much available for books on the subject. I've managed to find a couple that are a little out of my price range (see link below).

Oy - Would have helped if I checked your link... Very silly CEL. My apologies.
