Moment-Resisting Seismic Connections for Structural Steel Frames

在这项研究中，试图提供实际尺寸的节点在模拟循环荷载下的行为的基本数据。将对全尺寸和四分之三尺寸的样品进行九次试验，并辅以三次半尺寸的样品。所选择的部件尺寸提供了广泛的截面几何形状，包括那些以前没有报道过的美国工作。在其中的七个试验中，将研究柱翼缘的厚度及其对面板区域加倍器和连续板的影响。梁对柱的腹板连接将进行两次测试，其容量尚未明确。此外，还将对偏心支撑框架的不同长度梁杆连接到柱腹板进行三个试验。实验工作将通过分析来完成，目的是制定设计规则。

In this investigation an attempt at providing basic data on the behavior of joints of realistic size under simulated cyclic loading is made. Nine tests on full- and three-quarter size specimens, supplemented with three one-half size specimens, will be performed. The selected member sizes provide a wide spectrum of section geometries including those on which no previous U.S. work is reported. In seven of the proposed tests, the thickness of the column flanges and its effect on the panel zone doubler and continuity plates will be studied. Two tests will be conducted on beam-to-column web connections, the capacity of which is poorly defined. Three experiments on various length beam links connected to column webs for eccentrically braced frames will also be carried out. The experimental work will be accomplished by analysis with the objective of formulating design rules.
