Review on the Seismic performance of Steel Beam connected to Box Column

Abstract

This paper presents a review on the seismic performance of steel beam connected to box column. The strength and deformation capacity of structural elements are influenced by their cumulative damages received through load cycles. Several researchers have been studying the behaviour of seismic performance of steel beam connected to box column filled with concrete but due to its complex behaviour yet it is not completely understood, where the international design standards and specifications are limited to the H-shaped columns. The rotational capacity and dissipated energy of the welded and bolted connections are discussed. The local responses for stress and strain in the vicinity of welded and bolted joints are also investigated.
