This is a fundraiser for the development of an Excel Workbook for shop-bolted/field-bolted connections like my previously published Connections Workbook I. This workbook will only be available to the people and firms that contribute to this fund. This workbook will NOT be available to the general steel community. Once this workbook is developed and checked, it will be distributed by email to those who have contributed to this fund.

This workbook will be based on the 2022 Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings and will be as easy to use as my Connections Workbook I. In order to make this spreadsheet as useful as possible, I need to receive shop-bolting standards to review to ensure I get all the connection geometry as an input. I am not worried about a single bolt column in beams or columns, but I need to ensure that I get all the staggered bolting requirements.
