The Green Book is a widely used reference guide that provides design recommendations and examples for steel connections. It covers a range of topics, including bolted and welded connections, beam-to-column connections, and column splices. The book is intended for use by structural engineers, architects, and detailers who are involved in the design and fabrication of structural steel buildings. | | Full-Depth End Plate | Beam-to-column flange
Most structural engineering firms and civil engineering departments have a subscription to the SCI Steelbiz portal.
The Green Book provides maximum and minimum spacings. Spacing bolts too far apart increases prying forces. Spacing them too close leads to the "block tearing" failure between the bolt hole and the plate edge.
The primary "Green Book" for structural steel connections is
