• Bare steel and composite semi-rigid moment-resisting connections were tested. The comprised CFS tubular sections connected using side plates. Various failure limit states captured through the tested connections. infill concrete effectively prevented beam local buckling. Side plate plasticity considered as a desirable energy dissipation mechanism. This paper presents results of full-scale phys...

Building structures are subject to displacement under the influence of forces resulting from earthquake. The most common method of controlling such displacements in steel structures, which are usually of lateral type, is the use of braces. Depending on designing requirements and feasibility, braces are available in various forms. Configuration of bracing systems is generally of concentric or ec...

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the use of steel bars bonded into glulam timber beams with epoxy resins in order to provide moment-resisting joints between glulam beams and steel supports. The objective of this research was to provide information about the bending and shear strength of such connections. Past research has investigated the use of steel rods epoxy bonded in...
