Moment resistant connections of steel frames in seismic areas : design and reliability / edited by Federico M. Mazzolani.

Contributor(s): Mazzolani, Federico M.
Publisher: London : E & FN Spon, 2000Description: xix, 644 p. ; 24 cm.ISBN: 0415235774.Subject(s): Earthquake resistant design | Joints (Engineering) | Steel framing (Building) | Structural framesDDC classification: 624.1762
Contents:
Introductory remarks. - Scope. - Development of activity. - Obtained results. - 1. Seismic Input and Codification. - 2. Ductility of Members and Connections. - Cyclic behaviour of Beam - to - Column Bare Steel Connections. - Cyclic Behaviour of Beam - to - Column Composite Connections. - Re-elaboration of Experimental Results. - Evaluation of Global Seismic Performance. - Failure Mode and Ductility Demand. - Design Methodology. - Concluding Remarks.
Summary: An unexpected brittle failure of connections and members occurred during the last earthquakes of Northridge and Kobe. For this reason a heightened awareness developed in the international scientific community, particularly in the earthquake prone countries of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, of the urgent need to investigate this topic. The contents of this volume result from a European project dealing with the 'Reliability of moment resistant connections of steel frames in seismic areas' (RECOS), developed between 1997-1999 within the INCO-Copernius joint research projects of the 4th framework Program .... The INCO-Copernius (RECOS) Project brought together Europe's 35 leading structural engineers to develop the basis for future design of moment resistant connections in seismic areas. This book, with the published results of the project, is an essetial read for engineers who want to be at the cutting edge of design in seismic areas. - Back cover.
