This paper presents the development of a composite cold-formed steel (CFS)-rubberised concrete (RuC) semi-rigid moment-resisting connection suitable for framed building structures. The comprises built-up tubular beam and column sections connected using side-plate screwed fasteners infilled with rubberised concrete. A detailed finite element analysis validated against physical tests is employed ...

The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web a...
