P398: Joints in Steel Construction: Moment-Resisting Joints to Eurocode 3 (Green Book)

This publication is one of a series of "Green Books" that cover a range of steelwork connections. This publication provides guidance for moment resisting joints, designed in accordance with Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures, as implemented by its UK National Annexes. A companion publication, Joints in Steel Construction: Simple Joints to Eurocode 3 (P358), covers design of nominally pinned joints. The major changes in scope compared to P207/95 are: 1. The adoption of the published design rules in BS EN 1993-1-8 and its UK National Annex. 2. Indicative resistances of connections are given, instead of comprehensive standardised details, recognising that software is most often used for the design of moment-resisting joints. 3. The "hybrid" connections, comprising welded parts and parts connected using pre-tensioned bolts, have been omitted, since they have little use in the UK
