On the Seismic Performance of Skewed Special Moment Frame Reduced Beam Section Connections
… often obstruct views and architectural features. Reduced beam section (RBS) connections are popular SMF connection details developed following the Northridge earthquake to limit brittle fractures within connection welds. Current American Institute of Steel Construction (ASIC) provisions (i.e. AISC …

Multi-hazard performance of steel moment frame buildings with collapse prevention systems in the central and eastern United States
… throughout the building, or enhanced shear tab connections, to provide adequate serviceability performance and collapse safety for seismic and wind hazards in the central and eastern United States. While the proposed concept is likely applicable to building structures of all materials, the focus …

Experimental Design and Preliminary Testing for Skewed Special Moment Frame Prequalification
… 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
… that limit the use of non-orthogonal (skewed) beam-column connection geometries. A recent study has investigated laterally skewed moment frame connections, indicating that skew increases the potential for column twist and column flange yielding; however, it is unclear how realistic column axial …
