Behaviour of unstiffened flush end plate beam-to-column connections in structural steelwork
End plate connections are extensively used as moment resistant connections between members in steel frame. Surveys of the English and Scottish Steelwork Industry clearly indicate that the flush end plate connection is the most popular type of beam-to-column connection in steel-framed structures. …

An Investigation of Beam-to-Column Connections for Composite Structural Systems
I-beams with angle connections are becoming the standard framing method for composite structures. We claim that closed sections are often a more appropriate member selection. We also present the cuff connection; a novel beam-to-column connection element suited to closed structural members. We …

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 …

Effect of Column Axial Load on Skewed SMF RBS Connection Demands
… areas often require special structural systems to transfer large lateral forces induced by earthquake accelerations. The selection of an appropriate seismic steel system (braced frame, moment frame, shear wall, etc.) is often influenced by architectural considerations. Moment frame …

Enhancing Progressive Collapse Resistance of Steel Building Frames Using Thin Infill Steel Panels
… spreads in a domino effect manner resulting in a total damage disproportionate to the initial failure. Recent building failures (e.g., World Trade Center twin towers) highlight the catastrophic outcome of progressive collapse. This research proposes a reliable and realistic retrofit technology …

Design of moment end-plate connections for seismic loading
Analytical and experimental research into the seismic response of four-bolt extended moment end-plate connections was conducted. Full-scale connections, ranging in size from moderate to large, were designed, fabricated and tested under cyclic loading until connection failure was observed. The …

Hybrid mathematical and informational modeling of beam-to-column connections
… has traditionally been carried out by idealizing beam-to-column connections as either rigid or pinned. Although some advanced analysis methods have been proposed to account for semi-rigid connections, the performance of these methods strongly depends on the proper modeling of connection behavior. …

On the Seismic Performance of Skewed Special Moment Frame Reduced Beam Section Connections
… 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 341-16) …

The behaviour of composite beam-to-column flush end plate connections using blind bolts
… by using concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns in multi-storey construction have been appreciated for decades. Tubular sections are more effective than open sections due to higher load carrying capacity, superior seismic capacity, improved ductility and fire resistance. However, the …

Enhancement of the Sliding Hinge Joint Connection with Belleville Springs
… conceived and initially developed by Charles Clifton from 1998 to 2005 and is now in use in over NZD 4 billion of new buildings. It is a low damage semi-rigid beam to column connection for MRSF seismic-resisting systems, that is intended to be rigid under serviceability conditions, become …
