This paper investigates the influence of the stiffness and strength of gravity columns on the collapse performance of buildings that utilize steel special moment frames as the main seismic lateral load resisting system. ...

The lap splice of the longitudinal reinforcement of columns positioned at the base, widely used in the execution of multiple floors structures in reinforced concrete floors, is the most vulnerable point in the pathological ...

The aim of this paper was the validation of the monolithic equivalence applied to precast columns with grouted splice sleeve connections, wherein spliced precast prototypes have been compared with continuous monolithic ...

Recently, worldwide, different investigations have been carried out that give viability to high-strength steel (steel grade 80 and grade 100), as an internal reinforcement of concrete and an alternative to traditional steel ...

Although an increasing demand on precast concrete structures exists, there is a lack of tools for the safe design of precast connections in many situations. This research focuses on the study of semi-rigid beam-column ...

In this work are reviewed the recommendations to reinforce concrete columns with different configurations using FRP stripes, in the face of the axial load and flexural moment increase; as well as because of confinement and ...

A partir de la necesidad de empalmar perfiles de secciones tipo H utilizados como columnas, en esta investigación se ha planteado el uso de la metodología de conexiones tipo placa de extremo, para empalmar elementos sometidos ...

For this Master's Degree Thesis, developed at Universidad National de Colombia, the design and experimental validation of a type of welded splice for corrugated steel bars, manufactured under standard NTC2289 with a half ...

The most usual constructive system in Brazil it is still with reinforced concrete structure, but in some regions, such as the south and southeast, the numbers of constructions executed in steel structures have been increasing ...
