The important role played by the duration of ground shaking in the response of saturated soil
deposits is universally acknowledged, but no such consensus exists regarding the degree of …

The behavior of angles in a bolted angle beam-to-column connection is experimentally
investigated. The purpose of this investigation is to determine how the angle size and bolt …

Beam-to-column welded joints in moment-resisting steel frames may undergo extremely low
cycle fatigue in earthquake action. The aim of this paper is to investigate the fatigue failure …

Although ground motion duration is generally perceived to influence structural response, it
has not been explicitly considered in current seismic design practice. This paper …

Moment-resisting steel frames often fail by fracture failure of beam-to-column welded joints
during a strong earthquake. This paper provides a numerical methodology based on …

The current study is concerned with the structural response of typical semi-rigid steel beam-
to-column joints. In particular, the behaviour of bolted cleat angle connections is investigated …

A post-tensioned (PT) connection for steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) was developed.
The connection requires no field welding, and returns the structure to its pre-earthquake …

This paper investigates the effects of bearing-type deformations on the nonlinear response
of beam-to-column bolted connections. To experimentally investigate these effects, a set of …

The assessment of damage in structures that have suffered one or more earthquakes is of
paramount importance to better understand the post-earthquake effective behaviour, and …

This article presents a study on welded beam-to-column joints of moment-resisting steel
frames. The main features of the joint specimens are summarised, in order to identify key …
