Abstract: A substantial change in seismic design requirements for column panel zones (PZs) in steel moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) for buildings was implemented recently in several codes for building construction. Previously, it was ...

Abstract: Three tests on large‐size beam end‐plate moment connections to column flanges under severe cyclic loading are reported. Such connections are used in the erection of low‐rise Steel frames. Their use is advantageous where ...

Abstract: A two-phase experimental program was generated on a full-scale two-story steel plate shear wall with reduced beam section connections and composite floors, to experimentally address the replaceability of infill panels ...

Abstract: This study developed a seismic design approach, which has no need of additional structural members, to uniformly distribute the peak interstory drift ratios along building heights. The generalized building model (GBM), ...

Abstract: An efficient approximate method that uses the multi-degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) modal equations of motion for the seismic response history analysis of asymmetric elastic buildings with soil–structure interaction (SSI) is ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first full-scale experimental investigation of the self-centering steel plate shear wall (SC-SPSW) system. The SC-SPSW system is a lateral force-resisting system developed to provide system recentering ...
