Better understanding of the connection between piles and pile caps/footings is needed so
that future designs and design reviews can be adequately performed. This review paper …

Steel beam-to-column joints are often subjected to a combination of bending moment and
axial force. Current specifications for steel joints do not take into account the presence of …

Embedded column base (ECB) connections are used in mid-to high-rise steel moment
frames to transfer base moments and forces into the footing. These connections, which …

The purpose of this study was to develop precast column details that are able to dissipate
energy under seismic loads. Several innovative precast concrete columns were designed …

Seismically designed mid-to high-rise steel moment resisting frames in the United States are
commonly constructed with the lowest portion of the first story column embedded into a …

In this paper, the punching shear behavior of the embedded column base for the concrete-
filled steel tube is experimentally studied. Push-out tests were firstly conducted to obtain the …

Testing and numerical modelling of embedded steel column bases are discussed in this
paper. The behaviour of two different types of experimental specimen has been analysed …

To improve the punching shear resistance, an enhanced embedded column base for
concrete-filled steel tubes has been proposed, where a pair of strengthening beams are …

Shallow embedded column connections are widely used for columns resisting gravity loads
in current design methods. These connections are usually considered “pinned” for structural …

This paper investigated the flexural behaviour (the initial rotational stiffness and ultimate
moment resistance, in particular) of the shallow-embedded column bases through …
