Abstract: A total of three beam-to-column joints for composite structural systems consisting of reinforced concrete columns and steel (RCS) beams, which are referred to as “composite RCS systems,” were tested to investigate the ...

Abstract: This paper compares analytical predictions with a series of full‐scale seismic tests on a concentrically K‐braced six‐story steel structure. A computer program for the inelastic frame analysis is used to calculate 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 ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the seismic behavior of an inverted‐V‐braced structure with braces of intermediate slenderness

Abstract: The seismic test results on a full‐scale six‐story, 2 by 2 bay, steel building with concentric‐K braces forming a “dual system” are reported. The steel building was constructed at the Large Size Structure Laboratory of the ...

Abstract: In the design of beam-to-column subassemblies in concrete-filled steel tubular column systems, a design formula established by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) is applied. However, in the current AIJ standard, ...

Abstract: A 5 year research on concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) column system was carried out as a part of the fifth phase of the U.S.–Japan Cooperative Earthquake Research Program, and the tests of centrally loaded short columns ...

Abstract: Beam columns of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) columns are designed using a design formula established by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ). However, the scope of the formula in the current AIJ standard is ...
