In this paper, a nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis of hybrid-steel concrete connections is presented. The detailed experimental results of the four full-scale hybrid-steel concrete connections with limited seismic detailing have been discussed in a different paper. However, due to the inherent complexity of beam–column joints and the unique features of the tested specimens, the experimenta...

Shear failure of B-C joints is recognized as the primary cause collapse various moment-resisting frame buildings during recent earthquakes. When joint subjected to huge forces severe ground shaking and its behaviour has a very much influencing on structure, sometimes it may Leeds entire structure. To study energy dissipation with different types combinations FRP sheets used retrofit BC in this ...

steel structures are usually built with some defects. according to the standard building codes, the central axes of the bracing members should go through the beam-column joints, however, in most of the braced steel structures, bracing members are unintentionally connected eccentrically. this paper presents a numerical investigation on performance analysis of cbfs (concentrically braced frames) ...
