As such, the frame response depends on the connection response as well. To better understand the frame response of CBF systems, an analytical and experimental research study into the seismic performance of CBFs with an emphasis on better understanding the response and design of gusset plate ...
Fig. 3. Typical configurations of gusset plate connection: (a)-(c) direct connection to bracing members; (d)-(e) connection through splice member. Due to the presence of load discontinuity and the complex stress state, gusset plates are always considered as critical elements in structural desi...
Conservative assumptions may be advisable in a design situation but can have significant consequences in the assessment of existing structures. The detail studied in the current paper is a gusset plate welded to the edge of a plate or a beam flange, see Fig. 1. This type of connection is ...
Disclosed is a gusset plate connection with sliding end plates for a buckling-restrained brace, including central plate (1), first rib plate (2), second rib plate (
A gusset connection that allows greater relative movement between connected structural members and simplifies erection in the field. The gusset connection can be a first gusset port
To date 17 large-scale SCBF frames with gusset plate connections have been tested, and numerous cyclic, inelastic analyses have been completed. Additional tests are in progress. The results show that the connection design has a great impact on the ductility and seismic performance of SCBFs and ...

DesignGusset plate connectionsPunching shear failureA series of tests on the concrete-filled tubular circular hollow section (CHS) connections is presented in this paper. Four types (T, Y, K, and KT) of 12 connections were tested. The tests covered two different chord wall slenderness ratios (...
Each connection was tested to failure, and the behavior under loading was recorded. Punching shear failure of the chord member was the main failure mode observed during the tests. It is recommended that the contribution of concrete be considered in the design because it could effectively restrain ...
