DESIGN OF JOINTS IN STEEL STRUCTURES - ECCS - E...

This book details the basic concepts and the design rules included in Eurocode 3 Design of
steel structures Part 1-8 Design of joints. Joints in composite construction are also addressed
through references to Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures Part 1-1
General rules and rules for buildings. Moreover  the relevant UK National Annexes are also
taken into account. Attention has to be duly paid to the joints when designing a steel or
composite structure  in terms of the global safety of the construction  and also in terms of
the overall cost  including fabrication  transportation and erection. Therefore  in this book 
the design of the joints themselves is widely detailed  and aspects of selection of joint
configuration and integration of the joints into the analysis and the design process of the
whole construction are also fully covered. Connections using mechanical fasteners  welded
connections  simple joints  moment-resisting joints and lattice girder joints are considered.
Various joint configurations are treated  including beam-to-column  beam-to-beam  column bases
and beam and column splice configurations  under different loading situations (axial forces 
shear forces  bending moments and their combinations). The book also briefly summarises the
available knowledge relating to the application of the Eurocode rules to joints under fire 
fatigue  earthquake  etc.  and also to joints in a structure subjected to exceptional loadings
where the risk of progressive collapse has to be mitigated. Finally  there are some worked
examples  plus references to already published examples and to design tools  which will provide
practical help to practitioners.
