Abstract Connections between concrete filled members are common in tall buildings, bridges, and offshore structures because of their robust structural performance. While extensive research has been done on isolated concrete-filled structural members, relatively little research has been conducted on composite connection regions. …

The rehabilitation of existing structures and the incorporation of functional recovery principles for new structures are themes of great relevance for structural engineers in the USA today. Sustainability and community resilience paradigms require that building owners carefully assess conditions of existing infrastructure …

This paper examines the cyclic performance of reduced beam section (RBS) moment connections incorporating larger member sizes than those allowed in the current seismic provisions for prequalified steel connections, through experimentally validated three-dimensional nonlinear numerical assessments. Validations of the adopted nonlinear finite …
