RISEconomical Weld Details and Design for Continuity and Doubler Plates in Steel Special Moment Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For seismic design of steel special moment frames (SMFs) the current seismic provisions require the use of continuity plates when either the proportion between the beam flange width and column flange thickness is not met ...
Effect of Bolt-Hole Clearance on the Ultimate Strength of Eccentrically Loaded Bolt Groups
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The instantaneous center of rotation method is presented in the AISC Steel Construction Manual for the design of eccentrically loaded bolted connections. Tabulated values for normalized strengths of bolt groups are provided, ...
A Procedure for Assessing Low-Cycle Fatigue Life of Buckling-Restrained Braces
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Buckling-restrained brace frames (BRBFs) have been a popular seismic force-resisting system in the US since it was first introduced to the AISC Seismic Provisions and ASCE 7 in 2005. The steel core of a buckling-restrained ...
Strength of Partial-Joint-Penetration Groove Welds as Affected by Root Opening, Reinforcing, and Loading Direction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Testing of 21 single-sided partial-joint-penetration (PJP) groove weld specimens was performed to evaluate the effects of three parameters: (1) root opening, (2) weld reinforcing profiles, and (3) directionality ...
