This review article provides an overview of the problems pertaining to structural dynamics
with bolted joints. These problems are complex in nature because every joint involves …

In this study, an innovative replaceable fuse connection for beam members in moment
resisting steel frames was proposed. Steel angles are designed as fuse elements for energy …

Abstract A unified Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) procedure is proposed and
successfully implemented. It provides an alternative to the currently used life safety design …

Este trabalho tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta computacional para
análise avançada estática e dinâmica de estruturas metálicas reticuladas baseada no …

This paper presents a parameter-identification method for rod structures with different
connections. In this method, the parameters of the structure are adjusted to match its …

Steel frames are used in many commercial high-rise buildings, as well as industrial
structures, such as ore mines and oilrigs. Enabling construction of ever lighter and safer …

A rocking steel frame is proposed in this paper, which can reduce the plastic deformation of
the main structural components under strong earthquake actions and can be easily repaired …

This paper develops a performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure specifically for
steel structures. Several improved steel connections were proposed to eliminate brittle …

The objective of this paper is to propose a simplified approach to the evaluation of the critical
buckling load of multi-story frames with semi-rigid connections. To that effect, analytical …

Seismic performances of dual steel moment-resisting frames with mixed use of rigid and
semi-rigid connections were investigated to control of the base shear, story drifts and the …
