Description

Amir S. Gilani (ed.). The Northridge (CA) Earthquake of Jan. 17, 1994, dramatically demonstrated that the pre-qualified, wielded beam-to-column moment connection commonly used in the construction of welded steel moment resisting frames in the period 1970-1994 was much more susceptible to damage than previously thought. This is a study of the seismic performance of welded steel moment connections & interim recommendations for professional practice. Provides info. in the form of individual Test Summaries. Each summary provides specific info. on specimen, lab., etc.; a description of the type of connection employed & its intended application; a description of the tested assembly; & much more.
