Seismic design of non-dissipative embedded column base connections

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

Embedded Column Base (ECB) connections in seismically resistant steel moment frames are commonly designed to be stronger than the connected column, to protect them from inelastic actions. This relies on estimation of demands induced by the column and the s ...
