Semi-Rigid Connections in Steel Frames: The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (Tall Buildings and the Urban Environment Series)

This book contains the technical information on connections for ductile moment structural frames, essential for earthquake-resistant design - and provides an international survey of the latest findings on connections for tubular columns, braced and unbraced frames. Coverage of hybrid framing systems, now used in Western U.S. earthquake regions, is also included.
