Abstract: The hysteretic loops of the embedded‐type column‐to‐footing connection, subjected to seismic loading, can be classified into three types, namely (1) Elastic‐plastic with sufficient deformability; (2) pinching type with ...

Abstract: The behavior of a composite beam in a steel‐moment resisting frame under repeated and reversed horizontal loading is studied using a full‐scale test specimen. A hysteresis rule is developed based on a simple analytical ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the seismic behavior of an inverted‐V‐braced structure with braces of intermediate slenderness
