Evaluation of force distribution within a dual special moment-resisting and special concentric-brace frame system
Dual Lateral Force Resisting Systems are currently required by code to include a Moment Resisting Frame capable of resisting at least 25% of the lateral loads. This thesis evaluates the seismic performance of a specific type of dual system: a Special Moment Resisting Frame-Special Concentric Brace …

Development of Multiobjective Optimization Procedures for Seismic Design of Steel Moment Frame Structures
… of code-compliant regular plane steel special moment resisting frame structures with simultaneous as well as separate treatment of multiple objective functions that reflect steel material usage, initial expenses, degree of design complexity, seismic structural performance indices, and …

Effects of residual stresses and initial imperfections on earthquake response of steel moment frames
… To examine these issues, a series of steel special moment-resisting frame models were subjected to monotonic pushover, cyclic pushover and response history analyses. The observed behavior was used to draw comparisons between systems with and without residual stresses and initial …

A Low Cycle Fatigue Testing Framework for Evaluating the Effect of Artifacts on the Seismic Behavior of Moment Frames
… artifacts. For instance, full-scale testing of moment resisting connections is expensive which makes it economically infeasible to experimentally examine the wide range of possible artifact types, artifact locations, and structural configurations. A framework has been developed for evaluating …

Application of New Materials and Innovative Detailing for Reinforced Concrete Structures
… energy dissipation of rocking columns and frames. Deformed reinforcing steel bars without any reduction of the section enclosed in steel pipes was proposed as external energy dissipaters, entitled as buckling restrained reinforcement (BRR) in the present study. The test results showed that …

Development and Validation of a Twelve Bolt Extended Stiffened End-Plate Moment Connection
Three end-plate moment connection configurations are prequalified for special moment frames for seismic applications in AISC 358-10. The eight bolt extended stiffened connection is the strongest of the three configurations, but it can only develop approximately 30 percent of currently available …
