| description 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 configuration and welding details were tested. Each of the four connection types was tested with three different link lengths to consider a wide range of force and deformation environments at the link-to-column connection. The specimens representing the pre-Northridge practice failed after developing only half of the inelastic link rotation required in U.S. building codes. Additional connection types were tested that implemented improved welding practices, as well as specimens that implement design and detailing modifications. This included connections that used the free flange concept and connections that eliminated the weld access holes. The experimental program and key test results are presented in this paper. | |
