Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications

Outlines Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications. This standard details multiple proprietary and non-proprietary connections, such as the Reduced Beam Section (RBS), Extended End-Plate, Bolted Flange Plate (BFP), ConXl™, SidePlate®, Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame®, and DuraFuse Frames systems. The content includes detailed design requirements and procedures for these connections, often referencing other core documents like the AISC Seismic Provisions and the AISC Specification. Furthermore, the document specifies material and quality control requirements, particularly for castings and forgings, to ensure reliable performance of these steel moment frame connections under seismic loading.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
