Abstract: The reduction of the flanges of steel wide flange beams near beam-column joints in special moment resistant frames is currently an acceptable alteration of a connection which connects a beam and column with complete-join ...

Abstract: This paper derives the maximum deformation demand placed on bolts in a single plate shear connection in response to rotation demands. The deformation demand is a function of connection neutral axis location. If the rotation ...

Abstract: The global compressive capacity of steel members subject to lateral rigid body dynamic excitation is examined numerically with a dynamic nonlinear finite-element analytical algorithm that uses the implicit Newmark-
