In this work, the collapse ultimate load of a prefabricated reinforced concrete column–steel beam composite frame structure was studied. During the study, the “new RCS beam-to-column joint” was used ...

In the seismic resistant design of moment-resisting frames, the beam-column joint is regarded as a crucial point for consideration. Post–earthquake research indicates that, under high shear stress, ...

A new method of connecting precast beams and columns will make it possible to quickly repair concrete buildings damaged by extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The patented technology, ...

Metal building system builders have an option to use straight columns or tapered columns to hold up the structure. In many metal building applications, straight columns may have more steel than they ...
