Modification of Moment Connection of I-Beam to Double-I Built-Up Column by Reinforcing Column Cover Plate
Abstract Traditional moment connections of I-beam to double-I built-up column have some problems. They are the stress concentration, brittle fracture of the welds and semi-rigid behavior of the connection. To upgrade the connection behavior, it is...
