Abstract Details

2010, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Civil Engineering.
Implementation of moment frames as the primary Seismic Lateral Resisting System (SLRS) has become increasingly popular over the years due to their ability to create open layouts and long, uninterrupted spans. Welded connections were typically used to create the fully-restrained (FR) beam-to-column connection required in most moment frames, but ever increasing labor costs have led to the development of bolted T-stub connections as a financially viable option. Brittle failures of what was, at the time, considered an acceptable FR connection forced the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) to require pre-testing of all moment connections used in the SLRS in an attempt to ensure the predictability and safety of future structures. The specific testing requirements are outlined in ANSI/AISC 341-10 [1], and although preliminary results for rolled bolted T-stub connections appear favorable, this connection type has yet to be submitted to AISC's Connection Prequalification Review Panel (CPRP) for consideration. Data from previous experimental programs will be used to show the acceptability of rolled bolted T-sub connections and the final recommendation will be for rolled bolted T-stub connections to be prequalified for use in the SLRS of moment resisting frames.
