Connections in Steel Structures VI Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop
Size: 11.8 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: AISC | Year: 2008 | pages: 624 | ISBN: 1564240584
This book presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Connections in Steel Structures. The workshop was held at the Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, USA during the period 23-25 June, 2008 under the auspices of the American Institute of Steel Construction and the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork.
The five preceding international workshops were held in Cachan, France, in 1987; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 1991; Trento, Italy, in 1995; Roanoke, Virginia, USA, in 2000; and in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2004. Proceedings for the five preceding workshops were published by Elsevier Applied Science Publishers (1988), the American Institute of Steel Construction (1992), Pergamon/Elsevier Science (1996), the American Institute of Steel Construction (2002) and Bouwen met Staal, the Netherlands (2005). The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the European Convention for Constructional Steel (ECCS) supported the idea of holding a sixth workshop, thus making it possible. Financial support for the workshop was provided by the American Institute of Steel Construction, Nucor-Yamato Steel, Gerdau Ameristeel, and Steel Dynamics.
The American Institute of Steel Construction was the official host of this workshop that was held in their home city. Outstanding work by the staff of AISC made the workshop possible. The contributions of Katy Preston, Elizabeth Robelet, and Ashley Melvin to the planning and on-site arrangements are particularly appreciated. Areti Carter and Janet Cummins took charge of the technical details and the preparation of these proceedings for which we are all very grateful. In addition, the participation of the individuals who served as session chairs contributed significantly to the smooth running of all three days of the workshop.
Finally, the support and technical contributions of the 71 participants from 19 countries who presented 56 technical papers must be acknowledged. Without their commitment to research, design, and construction of structural steel connections worldwide, none of this would have been possible. It is expected that the continued commitment of these participants and others to come in the future, will result in another successful workshop in Timisoara, Romania in 2012.
