Steel portal frames were traditionally designed assuming that beam-to-column joints are
ideally pinned or fully rigid. This simplifies the analysis and structural design processes, but …

The conventional analysis and design of transmission towers usually ignore the effect of
semi-rigid behaviors of bolted joints and simplify the joints as the rigid or pinned connection …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study to investigate the behavior of the
precast segmental concrete beams (PSCBs) utilizing high-strength concrete (HSC) …

Steel moment resisting frames are prevalent seismic force resisting systems that are used
extensively in high seismic regions worldwide. New design procedures suggested by codes …

In the prefabricated industry, socket connection is generally preferred to be used in column-
foundation connection. In this connection type, the foundations and columns produced in the …

This paper presents a simple effective numerical procedure based on the beam–column
method for nonlinear elastic dynamic analysis of three-dimensional semi-rigid steel frames …

This study presents a simple, efficient, accurate method for nonlinear time-history
earthquake analysis of spatial steel frames. The proposed new fiber plastic hinge method …

This paper proposed a precast concrete‐based dry mechanical joint for fully‐restrained
moment connections which can be used to connect reinforced concrete precast columns. In …

The seismic performance of the novel precast concrete frame with mechanical joints using
metal plates proposed to provide moment connections was estimated by the numerical …

Most finite element models of actual projects developed using general finite element
software are rigid or hinge connected. These models are inconsistent with the actual …
