Printed in the United States of America 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.
