Abstract: The load-deformation behavior of a reinforced composite slab is required to determine the moment-rotation behavior of a composite partially restrained connection. A component model that can be used to predict this ...

Abstract: One of the fundamental components of the moment-rotation behavior of a steel or composite partially restrained (PR) connection is the load-deformation behavior associated with high-strength bolts bearing on steel plates. ...

Abstract: Case studies of two buildings having partially restrained (PR) moment frame lateral-force-resisting systems are presented: a 3-story building for a Los Angeles Uniform Building Code (UBC) zone 4 site, and a 9-story building ...
