Comparison of Strength, Stiffness and Ductility of Reduced Beam Section Subjected to Lateral Loads Only and Combined Gravity And Lateral Loads
Lateral loads from Northridge Earthquake in 1994 caused brittle fractures at column-beam connections in rigid frame structures which hitherto were thought to have high ductility to resist such brittle fractures. These brittle fractures were caused by the moment frame connections’ inability to underg...
