As the key part of the force-transfer path in a steel frame, a reasonable modeling method of
beam-to-column connections in the structural analysis model is crucial. From the designer's …

In strong earthquakes, low-cycle fatigue fractures may occur in the bolted connections of
steel braced frames. Ensuring a high low-cycle fatigue life for high-strength bolted …

Multitiered steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are commonly used to provide lateral
resistance for tall single-story commercial, performing arts, sports, and industrial buildings …

The present study evaluates the seismic performance factors of typical buildings with dual
lateral force resisting system (LFRS) consisting of special moment frames (SMFs) combined …

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 …

Experiments on 12 specimens are conducted to study the low-cycle fatigue behavior of I-
shaped steel bracing members with gusset plate connections. The experimental results …

Many experimental and numerical studies were conducted to study the cyclic behaviour of
steel beam-to-column connections; however, most of the proposed numerical works …

In moderate seismic regions, engineers are permitted to use a response modification
coefficient, R, of 3 in the design of steel systems without any specific seismic detailing or …

Current US seismic design provisions allow structures in areas of lower seismicity (eg, the
Midwest and eastern North America) to be designed with modest seismic requirements as …

Column stability during seismic events is a critical consideration for all steel-framed
structures, but is of particular importance for a unique class of steel frames called multitiered …
