Application of the Finite Element Method to the Seismic Design and Analysis of Large Moment End-Plate Connections
Due to problems associated with welded moment connections uncovered after the Northridge earthquake, large bolted connections are becoming a much more attractive alternative for design in seismic regions. However, stringent design requirements established by the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structur...
