You are in the right place if you are an engineer, student, or designer in search of bolt-connection resources. This paper presents a detailed collection of manuals, guides, and Excel templates that will help accelerate your work and work less and control more accurately.
The design of bolt-connection is confusing, how to distribute loads, how to check tension, shear and bearing limits. When they have the appropriate tools, the process is made easier. This is why we collected all the necessary manuals, reference codes, as well as the ready-to-use Excel templates which met AISC, ACI and Eurocode standards. They assist you in making sure that you are safe and in compliance.
You can be working on steel structures, base plates, or you can be working on beam-column connections; any of it, this list gives you the power to design with confidence. It also has the material data, practical examples and design shortcuts which can be used by professionals to save time and minimise errors.
Be on the lookout and find the best bolt-connection tools and guides that every structural engineer must include in his or her toolbox.
