The authors previously investigated a macro-model of the three-dimensional behavior of
beam-to-rectangular hollow section column joints by extending an ordinary component …

Attachment of supplemental knee braces to existing steel frameworks is one of the most
efficient seismic retrofitting measures. Existing steel members should be properly reinforced …

An experiment was performed on a subassemblage specimen of an interior column joint
with knee brace reinforcement. The experimental results verified the increase in strength …

In this study, beam-to-column connection is reinforced by double-channel knee brace with
only high strength bolted connection. From the experimental results, the increase of strength …

This paper proposed a new I-beam to box-column connection named Diagonal Through
Plate connection to provide a new load path different from that of conventional connections …

The frames in multi-story steel buildings are usually designed as moment resisting frames in
Japan. In the moment resisting frames, the beam-to-column connections are usually …

Figure 2 depicts a setup example of a loading test of a subassemblage specimen. The
column member of the specimen is supported by pin and roller supports in a loading frame …
