Abstract The aim of this research is to provide an alternative for the conventional design beam‐to‐column connections in building structures. new performed by means Structural Topological Optimization and executed additive manufacturing with steel. Regarding methodology, joint that would be manufactured methods (i.e. welded bolted plates) modelled finite elements first place. Its behavior obtai...

Indonesia is a country that prone earthquakes. Therefore, knowledge of earthquake-resistant building construction needed in reducing the risk damage caused by There are several methods planning, one which pushover analysis method. Pushover nonlinear static method structure subjected to gravity loading and displacement-controlled lateral loads continue increase through elastic inelastic behavior...

In many seismically active regions worldwide, massive reinforced concrete (RC) structures built before the 1970s existed. These older RC buildings, in countries having seismic history, were designed for gravity loads only. Anyway, beam-column connections influence where functions of connection shortage by transport forces like shear, moment, and torsion through beam to column. Also, it could be...

In this paper, a prestressed precast reinforced concrete (PC) beam–column connection incorporating posttensioned debonded partial tendons is introduced for PC frame structure. Compared with the conventional cast-in-place frames and many previously proposed connections frames, has advantage of self-centering low damage in strong earthquakes. addition, can reduce posttensioning demand further sit...

This paper suggested a new connection protocol, adding cover-plate between shear links and column, which was used to enhance moment and shear carrying capacity of beam, relax the restriction and assure the sufficiency development of plastic deformation of the link, and dissipate more earthquake energy. Considering the scale ratio of 1:3, the experimental data was achieved by a specimen under cy...
