An analysis procedure to facilitate performance-based design of steel moment frame buildings with reduced beam section joints /

During the 1994 Northridge, CA earthquake weldments in the beam-to-column connection failed, revealing deficiencies in the structural steel design codes. One result of the failures has been a push for improved analysis techniques that give information about the response of a structure to loading in...
