Packer J.A., Wardenier J. Design guide for rectangular hollow section (rhs) joints under predominantly static loading

Jeffrey A. Packer, Jaap Wardenier, Xiao-Ling Zhao, Addie van der Vegte and Yoshiaki Kurobane. Design guide for rectangular hollow section (rhs) joints under predominantly static loading.
Second Edition, CIDECT, 2009. - 156 p. - ISBN: 978-3-938817-04-9.
The objective of this 2nd edition of the Design Guide No. 3 for rectangular hollow section (RHS) joints under predominantly static loading is to present the most up-to-date information to designers, teachers and researchers.
Since the first publication of this Design Guide in 1992 additional research results became available and, based on these and additional analyses, the design strength formulae in the recommendations of the International Institute of Welding (IIW) have recently been modified. These recommendations are the basis for the new ISO standard in this field and also for this Design Guide.
