Parametric Study in raising ductility a Composite-Frame Joint


Abstract in English

The Steel/RC composite Column-beam connection joint is considered one of the most important subjects in framed construction. Ductility has the most influence among other factors that control the behavior of this joint, and the nonlinear behavior of this joints when subjected to large and cyclic loading is dominated by several parameters. These parameters reflect the assembled components of the joint for every component has a distinguished material and therefore specific behavior under the loading corresponding to it.
