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 rotational behaviour of steel end-plate connections can be studied using the finite
element method for the following three reasons: 1) such models are inexpensive and robust; …

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 …

A new framework is presented for analysis of dynamic collapse behavior of steel frames
using large‐scale parallel finite element method based on the domain decomposition …

This paper presents a new stiffening method for bolted end-plate beam–column connections
in which steel member assemblies of steel angles and plates are used as stiffeners. An …

The rotational behaviour of three-dimensional steel end-plate connections can be studied
using the finite element method for the following four reasons:(1) such models are …

The seismic behavior of the end-plate connections between a steel beam and the weak axis
of the H-shaped steel column using a U-shaped connector was investigated using numerical …

Goal of this paper is the development of analytical design rules for bolted end-plate
connections with an elastomeric intermediate layer as thermal separation. The actual stress …

The compression zone in beam-to-column connection can generally imply the use of
transverse stiffeners. This paper presents the results of experimental tests to evaluate the …

Upper space limitation problems such as floor slabs and decorative panels on the upper part
of steel beams, cause difficulties in the actual strengthening OF steel structures. A new type …
