Abstract: The moment‐rotation relationships of semirigid steel beam‐to‐column connections including single and double web‐angle connections and top‐ and seat‐angle connections with or without double web angle, are developed. The ...

Abstract: The development of a data base on semi‐rigid steel beam‐to‐column connections at Purdue University using collected experimental test data is described. To build‐up this data base systematically, the Steel Connection Data ...

Abstract: In current engineering practice, to evaluate the stability of columns in frames with rigid and semirigid connections, one must estimate the effective length factor (

Abstract: Extended end-plate connections are usually regarded as rigid connections. This recognition has not been investigated systematically in frame analysis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the degree of rigidity of extended ...

Abstract: The solution of many design problems involves two steps: the designer (1) creates a configuration by making component choices and (2) selects values for the parameters associated with the ...
