Excerpt from Tests to Determine the Rigidity of Riveted Joints of Steel Structures The tests described in this bulletin were made under the general supervision of Dr. F. H. Newell, head of the Department of Civil Engineering, and of Dr. A. N. Talbot, head of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The tests formed a part of the regular research work of these Departments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Semi-rigid steel frames are revolutionizing structural design. This book is a practical professional reference, covering analytical methods for the evaluation of connection flexibility and its influence on the stability of the entire framework. The methods range from a simplified member-by-member design approach to a more sophisticated computer-based advanced analysis and design approach.
