Abstract: The results of a 3D finite-element study of the inelastic behavior of unreinforced, flange-welded moment connections in steel seismic moment resisting frames is presented. Computer models of connection subassemblies with ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental study of the seismic performance of improved, welded unreinforced beam-to-column moment connections are presented. The study involved the inelastic cyclic testing of 11 full-scale connection ...
