Hollow structural sections (HSS) are currently underutilized in seismic moment frame
systems as possible alternatives to typical wide-flange members. To explore the potential …

Hollow structural sections (HSS) provide an alternative to typical wide flange sections in low-
rise seismic moment resisting frames. Their beneficial strength-to-weight ratio as well as …

Hollow structural sections (HSS) make up a significant portion of the steel market, where the
typical uses in building structures are as column members, bracing members, exposed …

Hybrid fabricated columns (HFCs) have been investigated by researchers during the past
two decades. Many researchers have reported higher load-bearing capacity, post-buckling …

Hybrid fabricated columns (HFCs) consisting of mild-steel thin plates connected to ultra-high
strength thin-walled tubes at corners have exhibited superior performance compared to the …

A review of seismic design solutions for connections is presented in this paper, with
particular focus on methods that are already “pre-approved” or “acceptable to code” for use …

A large-scale research into beam-to-column connections with conventional and improved
details is first summarized. An evaluation of factors influencing the deformation capacity of …

Hollow structural sections (HSS) are currently underutilized in seismic applications in
structures. To address this, a connection design methodology is derived for both …

HSS members provide a possible alternative to typical wide flange seismic moment frame
systems in low-to mid-rise structures. With an understanding of the limiting width-thickness …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behaviour of SHS column to beam end plate
connection with high strength bolts. Direct tensile tests using simplified connections are …
