A New Alternative in Steel Construction?Partially Restrained Connections

by Robert F. Lorenz, AISC, Chicago, IL, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Connection Flexibility and Steel Frames

Abstract:

Lack of formal training in methods as well as the lack of specific guidelines have limited the understanding and utilization of semi-rigid connection technology. A renewed interest in the topic along with the pending introduction of the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specification and the potential availability of computer-based reliability checks on stability should help to continue this interest.
