Abstract: Some architectural designs for steel buildings require skew at moment frame connections. Reduced beam section (RBS) moment connections with out-of-plane skew have not been tested experimentally, and it is unclear how much ...

Abstract: Braced frames are often used to resist lateral earthquake loads in steel buildings, but braces can interfere with architectural features. Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) will accommodate windows, doors, and halls, but ...

Abstract: Buckling-restrained braced frame performance at high drifts is improved by providing beam splices that reduce demands in the gusset regions. Existing experimental data only consider web splices without a slab present. An ...

Abstract: This study presents an experimental investigation into the cyclic performance of a new tube-in-tube buckling restrained brace (BRB) configuration. In this study, reduced- and large-scale brace geometries are tested to ...

Abstract: Transfer length is a significant parameter in the design of pretensioned concrete members. The estimation of transfer length is typically achieved by measuring concrete strain or strand slip at the member ends. The end ...
