Abstract: Two frame specimens with reinforced concrete columns and steel beams, which had different beam-column joint detailing, were analyzed using the nonlinear three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). One specimen had ...

Abstract: Extensive research over the past 15 years has led to improved models and criteria for seismic design of composite steel–concrete moment frames and their components. Much of this research has been conducted through the ...

Abstract: Seismic design guidelines for composite reinforced concrete and steel (RCS) buildings consisting of reinforced concrete columns and structural steel beams were proposed in Japan as a practical outcome of the U.S.–Japan ...
