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 …

Concrete filled steel tubes (CFSTs) show advantageous applications in the field of
construction, especially for a high axial load capacity. The challenge in using such structure …

There is a large amount of useful information from past experimental tests, which are usually
ignored in test-setup for the new ones. Variation of assumptions, materials, test procedures …

Connections are crucial zones in steel buildings since they provide interaction between
principal structural components (ie, beams, columns) and provide stability to the entire …

The analytical method for the calculation of the properties of a bolted joint established by the
structural Eurocodes proposes the T-stub as a component for the characterization of the …

Steel flush endplate beam-column connections behavior is commonly described by the
moment-rotation, M-φ, relationship, which is characterized by two essential terms; resistant …

The assembled tube-gusset K-joint by bolts is a commonly used connection form in steel
tubular transmission towers. At present, main existing research or design codes for steel …

Steel connections are vulnerable structural components, and their failure can lead to the
collapse of the whole structure in a fire. Hence, it is crucial to predict the connection …

In the structural analysis of steel frames, joints are generally considered as rigid or hinged
considering their momenttransfer ability. However, the first studies conducted with the …

Beam–column joints are critical members of reinforced concrete frames, the failure of which
may induce the collapse of structures under earthquake action. The design equations in …
