Abstract
The International Workshop on Connections in Steel Structures (Connections I), jointly organized by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) has been held since 1987. It started in Paris (Cachan), and was followed by Connections II in 1991 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), Connections III in 1995 (Trento), Connections IV in 2000 (Roanoke, Virginia), Connections V in 2004 (Amsterdam) and Connections VI in 2008 (Chicago). The success of the “Connections“ series has been confi rmed by the number of outstanding scientists and engineers, mainly from Europe and the USA, but also from other areas, who, over the years, have contributed to the workshops with their papers, knowledge and professional experience. All that is included in the series of Proceedings volumes, summarizing 289 scientifi c papers, all of a very high quality. The recommendations issued at the end of each workshop are regarded as valuable references in codifi cation and practice in Europe, the USA and elsewhere. The 7th Workshop took place from 30 May to 2 June 2012 in the historic city of Timisoara, Romania. Hosts were the “Politehnica” University and the Romanian Academy, under the supervision of ECCS and AISC. This time, 44 papers were presented authored by 112 outstanding specialists in structural connectins coming from Europe and USA, but also from Canada, Brazil, Chile, China and Australia. Six topics were covered by these contributions: 1) Structural design, design codes 2) Methods of analysis 3) Connections for seismic eff ects 4) Connections for structures with hollow sections 5) Bolting and special connection topics 6) Bracing and truss connections
