dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. these walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. in this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

A full understanding of complex structural behaviour can be developed perfectly by using the combination experimental and numerical approach. Although basic method to determine moment-rotation responses beam-to-column CFS joints has recently established from full-scale testing, practising finite element modelling (FEM) nowadays could explore in-depth on number variables potential failure modes....

Existing welded steel moment frames are designed to tolerate substantial yielding and plastic rotation under earthquake loads. This sacrificial design approach can lead to permanent, and often irreparable damage when interstory drifts exceed 2%. The experimental seismic performance of a 50% full-scale damage avoidance designed structural steel beam-column connection is presented. The beamcolumn...

This article aims to quantify the impact of a potential failure passive fire protection on ultimate response top and seat steel connection with double web angles. A numerical, finite element analysis scheme is proposed considering real, semi-rigid behaviour connection, using unilateral contact-friction laws between interfaces beam, column, The model has been validated by previous experimental r...

To avoid the damage of connection due to overstrength beam strength, and alternation strength hierarchy in structural system, a novel precast concrete beam-to-column is proposed herein. In connection, replaceable energy-dissipation connector (REDC) was placed at bottom hidden corbel. addition, narrow vertical slot adjacent corbel reduce overstrength. First, features mechanical mechanism were di...

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the methods which are applied for the analysis of Beam to column bolted end plate connection from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains 84 references of papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published between 1914 and 2011. These are classified in the following cate...
