Double-HSS Seismic Resistant Beam-to-Column Moment Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hollow structural sections (HSSs) are highly efficient in resisting compression, torsion, and bending. Their high torsional rigidity generally eliminates lateral-torsional buckling (LTB), which in turn eliminates the need ...
A Horizontal Stiffener Detailing for Shear Links at the Link-to-Column Connection in Eccentrically Braced Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the performance and viability of a horizontal stiffener detailing (HSD) to (1) be used at the link-to-column connection in a D-braced eccentrically braced frame layout where conventional ...
Full-Scale Testing and Design of Special Truss Moment Frames for High-Seismic Areas
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The US design code provisions for steel special truss moment frames (STMFs) were formulated based on research work carried out in the 1990s with double-angle sections as truss members. To provide the higher capacity needed ...
Seismic Design and Performance Evaluation of Long-Span Special Truss Moment Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need for a very-long-span structure in sporting and industrial venues puts steel moment frames and braced frames at a disadvantage. In this regard, special truss moment frames (STMFs) can accommodate a large span by ...
