Experimental Design and Preliminary Testing for Skewed Special Moment Frame Prequalification
<p>Special moment frames having specially detailed connections are common in high seismic regions, providing architectural flexibility for passageways and views without brace obstructions. In situations where the building framing layout requires deviation from typical rectangular framing, skew in …

Effect of Column Axial Load on Skewed SMF RBS Connection Demands
… of an appropriate seismic steel system (braced frame, moment frame, shear wall, etc.) is often influenced by architectural considerations. Moment frame configurations offer the most architectural flexibility, but are limited by code prequalification requirements that limit the use of …

Hybrid Steel Frames
… steel systems: hybrid Buckling Restrained Braced Frames (BRBF) and hybrid steel Moment Frames (MF). The "hybrid" term for the BRBF system comes from the use of different steel material including carbon steel (A36), high-performance steel (HPS) and low yield point (LYP) steel. The hybridity of the …

LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION OF REDUCED BEAM SECTION CONNECTION EFFECTS ON STRENGTH, STIFFNESS AND DUCTILITY OF MOMENT STEEL FRAMES
Moment resistant frames are mainly used in resisting lateral loads in buildings. During the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, some of these moment steel frame connections could not undergo inelastic deformation which led to many structural damages. New connection systems were proposed and tested which …
