FOREWORD
This book presents the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Connections
in Steel Structures. The workshop was held at the Hilton Back Bay Hotel in Boston,
Massachusetts, USA during the period 24-26 May, 2016 under the auspices of the
American Institute of Steel Construction and the European Convention for Constructional
Steelwork.
The seven preceding international workshops were held in Cachan, France, in 1987;
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 1991; Trento, Italy, in 1995; Roanoke, Virginia, USA, in
2000; in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2004; in Chicago, Illinois, USA in 2008; and in
Timisoara, Romania in 2012. Proceedings for these workshops are available by searching
for “Connections” in AISC’s “Education Archives” at www.aisc.org/continuinged.
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the European Convention for
Constructional Steel (ECCS) have supported the holding of these workshops, thus making
them possible. Financial support for the 8th Workshop was provided by the American
Institute of Steel Construction and Northeastern University.
The American Institute of Steel Construction and Northeastern University were the official
hosts of this workshop. Outstanding work by the staff of both AISC and Northeastern
University made the workshop possible. The contributions of Janet Cummins, Madeja
Metcalf, Sadie Brown, Eric Martin, Victoria Cservenyak, and Keith Grubb of AISC and
Mariah Nobrega, Joe Hebert, Carolina Venegas, Megan Kleber, and Arianna Kaplan of
Northeastern University are gratefully acknowledged. 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 70 participants from 20 countries
who presented 64 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 Coimbra, Portugal in 2020.
