Floor slabs can be utilized effectively to increase the strength and stiffness of a frame by
providing continuous slab reinforcement across column lines. This review discusses the …

This paper is concerned with the tests on composite beam-to-column joints subject to
reversal of loads. The first phase of the tests consisting of six beam-to-column joint …

This paper presents results obtained from tests carried on six full-scale composite beam-to-
column joints. The steelwork connection consists of a flush end plate welded to the beam …

For design, the key structural properties of a joint are the moment resistance, the stiffness
and the rotation capacity. These are all dependent on the depth of the connected beam. This …

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element modelling of an innovative flush end
plate semi-rigid beam-to-column composite joint comprising deconstructable post-installed …

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns have been widely used in high-rise building
structure due to its excellent structural properties such as high strength, high stiffness, high …

Although the benefits of semi-rigid connections and composite actions of slabs are
extensively documented in the design of steel frames, they are not widely used in practice …

The behaviour of composite connections has been widely investigated in last years within
the international scientific community following the introduction in Eurocode 4 of the …

The concept of semi-rigid connection and steel-concrete composite action has been
extensively researched in the past. However, they are not widely used in practice due to the …
