AISC’s newest design guide makes it easy to design stainless steel bolted connections!
Design Guide 41, Structural Joints Using Stainless Steel Bolts, covers the design, fabrication, and installation of stainless steel bolted connections used in buildings and bridges, including snug-tightened, pretensioned, and slip-critical connections. Download or order the guide at aisc.org/dg. (As always, AISC members can download it for free!)
