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

Detailing prequalified connections for special and intermediate steel moment frames used in seismic applications. It outlines specific design procedures and limitations for several proprietary and non-proprietary connections, including the Reduced Beam Section (RBS), Extended End-Plate, Kaiser Bolted Bracket (KBB), ConXtech ConXL, SidePlate, Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame, and Double-Tee moment connections. The document includes numerous engineering equations, detailing requirements, and material specifications for various structural components like bolts, welds, and plates, often referencing the broader AISC Seismic Provisions for quality control, fabrication, and member limits. Furthermore, appendices provide stringent requirements for casting and forging processes used for specialized connection components.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/
