Knee joints, the beam column connections found at the roof level of a moment resisting frame buildings, are inherently different from conventional interior and exterior beam column connections in the way that forces from adjoining members are transferred into joint and then resisted by the joint. A knee connection has two distinct load resisting mechanisms, each for closing and opening actions ...

In this paper, an adaptable and architecturally flexible lateral stiffening system for tall timber buildings between 50 147 m is developed investigated. The based on a tube-in-tube concept. internal tube consists of braced core, the external frame structure with semi-rigid beam-column joints in façade. Based finite element framework, more than 500 000 simulations different configurations are ca...

This study aimed to investigate the precast reinforced concrete beam-to-column joints behaviors through replaceable damper under cyclic loading. The specimens have been embedded with steel reinforcement and specially shaped connectors. After application of loading, energy dissipation part has acted very well increased bearing capacity specimens. beam–to–column were designed analyzed compare (RC...
