Moment Resistant Connections of Steel Frames in Seismic Areas [PDF ebook] 
Design and Reliability

An unexpected brittle failure of connections and of members occurred during the last earthquakes of Northridge and Kobe. For this reason a heightened awareness developed in the international scientific community, particularly in the earthquake prone countries of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, of the urgent need to investigate this topic. This volume results from a European project dealing with the ’reliability of moment resistant connections of steel frames in seismic areas’ It is a must have for engineerse who want to be at the cutting edge of design in seismic areas.
