A cyclic loading test of a steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) with nonstructural components was conducted to evaluate the seismic performance buildings subjected multiple earthquakes. The specimen is single-floor, one-span substructure intermediate story typical current middle- or low-rise building in Japan. Two specimens were tested. structural systems these two same, but attached different. ...

natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.as a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...

beam to column welded connection with radius cut on beam flange is known as rigid connection that provides acceptable ductility for special moment resisting frame (smrf). in order to decrease the cost of construction and to provide an easy-to-construct structure, the new method is available for reducing the beam section based on drilling on beam flange , known as drilled flange connection (dfc)...

before a president practically begins his four-year term of office in iran, a formal inaugural ceremony is held in the parliament. being attended by national dignitaries and representatives from other countries, the inauguration of iran's seventh president, hasan rouhani, was spectacular in several respects. the current study aimed at investigating the generic structure and rhetorical move...

Buildings damages due to earthquakes generally happen because designs of the buildings do not consider earthquake resistance aspects and fulfil technical standards resistant buildings. The structure designed in this work was a seven-storey office building, with symmetrical design plan. earthquake-resisting system used dual special moment resisting frame (SMRF) shear wall for reinforced concrete...

The present study offers a deductive design procedure based on designs that have been optimally screened in accordance with ASCE 41-17's nonlinear static (NSP). subsequent phase inferred linear methodology from the philosophy underlying NSP of 41-17. deduced is applied to provide set optimal 6-story SMRF under two load patterns: code-based and first-mode shape patterns. by proposed are compared...

The SidePlate moment connection system, developed by MNH-SMRF Systems, Inc., looks different because it is different. SidePlateTM's unique trademark geometry provides physical separation between the face of column and end of beam by means of parallel full-depth side plates. This innovative feature ensures the elimination of all brittle behavioral uncertainties responsible for the unprecedented...
