Research on the topic of steel frames with semi-rigid connections
(Partially Restrained (PR) construction or PR connection) has been
conducted over the past 10 years. Despite significant research and
development efforts, usage of PR principles has nevertheless been
very slow in coming to the profession caused in part by the lack of
easy access to reliable test data on these connections and also due
to the lack of software for practical implementation. With the
publication of the 2005 AISC specifications as well as Eurocode 3,
practical implementation of the use of PR connections in structural
systems is now a real possibility. This Handbook presents a simple
and comprehensive introduction that will help design practitioners
implement these new developments into engineering practice.
Beginning with a discussion of the new specifications and
classifications of these connections, the authors go on to show, on
the basis of the collected connections database, practical
mathematical models for computer implementation, and provide case
studies on these frames including composite construction. With the
help of the user-friendly list of collected data in tabular form
with illustrative figures, information on semi-rigid connections is
now available in a single publication and may ultimately result in
its wide-spread usage among practitioners.
