The current study is consistent with the ongoing research on constructing resilient structures
by restricting damage inside replaceable components at expected locations employed in …

Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are utilized as a lateral resisting system in high seismic
zones. Links are the primary source of energy dissipation and they are exposed to high …

This study presents replaceable reduced beam sections with connection detail for MRFs
under residual drift. The proposed detail includes end-plated mid-spliced reduced beam …

The use of cold-formed steel tubes in the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns makes
the design of the moment connections between beams and CFST columns much more …

This study contributes to the ongoing progress in developing cost-effective structural fuse
solutions for steel structures, emphasizing enhanced strength, ductility, and energy …

The premature failure of steel structures due to connection damages, induced by various
loadings, has received studious attention leading to the development of beam-to-column …

Beam-to-column connection is one of the main parts of steel structures that its failure
induces local and/or overall structural failure. This paper aims at examining the impact of …

Connections are one of the sensitive points in structures, including steel structures, which
have a significant impact on the seismic behavior of the structure. One type of connection …

Composite special moment frames represent a novel type of special moment frames (SMFs)
where a combination of concrete columns and steel beams is used. This paper evaluates …
