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 bolted joint multi-plate structures are widely used in practical engineering, but their
theoretical dynamic model is hard to find in literature. The main purpose of this paper is to …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the behaviour of beam-to-column joints in
fire and considers experimental and analytical research work on isolated joint configurations …

Behaviour of steel connections in fire is a multi-dimensional problem involving parameters
such as temperature, tying forces and large deformations. Investigation of this behaviour will …

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

This paper presents the results of a simulation study of 10 fire tests on restrained steel beam–
column assemblies using five different types of joints: fin plate, flexible endplate, flush …

Recent structural collapses caused by fire have focused attention on research concerning
fire safety in building design. Steel connections are an important component of any structural …

Modeling and dynamic analysis of bolted joint plates under general boundary conditions are
presented in this study, where the flange geometry is considered. An artificial spring …

As an important part of the steel frame structure, the bolted-welded hybrid connection joint
has a significant impact on the overall behavior of the structure and the prevention of …

In this study, we carried out nonlinear finite element simulations to predict the performance
of a column-tree moment connection (CTMC) under fire and static loads. We also conducted …
