Abstract: Six full-scale specimens were tested to examine the cyclic-loading performance of steel moment connections between an I-section beam and I-section column. The specimens represented the current practice in Japan in materials, ...

Abstract: A prefabricated seismic-resilient steel column base capable of accommodating bidirectional loading, enabling fast onsite construction and causing minimal disturbance to building function, is proposed. The column base ...

Abstract: A total of 12 large-scale link-column specimens were tested to study the cyclic loading performance of link-to-column connections in eccentrically braced frames. Four different link-to-column connection types with varying ...

Abstract: An analytical study was conducted on the cyclic loading behavior of beams in steel moment frames. Lateral–torsional buckling and local buckling were explicitly considered in the analysis. Beam cross-sectional dimensions ...

Abstract: A replaceable coupling beam is proposed comprising of steel hybrid shear links that are shorter than typical shear links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). Cyclic loading tests were conducted to examine the behavior ...

Abstract: The US design code provisions for steel special truss moment frames (STMFs) were formulated based on research work carried out in the 1990s with double-angle sections as truss members. To provide the higher capacity needed ...
