Neural network-based cost estimating
… cost estimates for low-rise prefabricated structural steel buildings. Detailed cost estimating is current practice for this type of buildings, since cost estimators are often challenged by a wide variety of different parameters. The developed method employs neural networks (NNs) for …

Effect of seismic loading on steel moment resisting frames
In recent history, the use of Steel Moment Resisting Frames (SMRF) in many structural steel buildings has become popular among many engineers and designers. The use of these moment resisting frames allows for more open spaces between floors and columns than in buildings that use the more …

Application of the Finite Element Method to the Seismic Design and Analysis of Large Moment End-Plate Connections
… established by the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (1997) make current moment end-plate configurations and design procedures inadequate for multi-story buildings. This dissertation first examines and critiques current seismic design philosophies as applied to moment …

Response of Cyclically Loaded Extended End-Plate Moment Connections When Used With Welded Built-Up Sections
… as defined by AISC in the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings. The experimental results demonstrated that the thick plate procedure in Design Guide 16 is an accurate model for predicting the strength of the connection elements, and the procedure is recommended for designing …

Flange bracing requirements for metal building systems
… frame geometries typically found in metal buildings can prove to be an arduous task given current methods. The American Institute of Steel Construction's Appendix 6 from the 2010 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings affords engineers a means for determining brace strength and …

Effect of Continuity Plate Eccentricity on the Performance of Welded Beam-to-Column Connections
<p>Beam-to-column connections in structural steel buildings may have varying degrees of rotational restraint and varying degrees of moment transfer. In fully restrained moment connections, shear is typically transferred through the beam web, while the moment is mostly transferred through the beam …

Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses of the End Web Crippling Strength of W-Shape Steel Beams
The 1999 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings establishes two design equations for the web crippling limit state at the supports. However, investigators have suggested that the basis of these equations, which is based on an assumed collapse mechanism, is conservative especially for …

Development and experimental validation of self-centering buckling-restrained braces with shape memory alloy
Although conventional earthquake-resisting structural systems provide adequate life safety when properly designed, they often rely on significant structural damage to dissipate the seismic energy. The structural damage and the residual drift that may result from the inelastic response can make a …

Multi-hazard performance of steel moment frame buildings with collapse prevention systems in the central and eastern United States
… of all materials, the focus of this study is on structural steel-frame buildings using either non-ductile moment frames with fully-restrained flange welded connections not specifically detailed for seismic resistance, or ductile moment frames with reduced beam section connections designed for …
