Abstract: A hysteretic model formulation is presented for simulation of the cyclic moment-rotation response of exposed column–base (ECB) connections, which are typically used to connect a steel column to a concrete footing in steel ...

Abstract: Column-base connections in steel moment-resisting frames (SMFs) in seismic regions are commonly designed to develop the capacity of adjoining column with an intent to develop a plastic hinge in the column member, rather ...
