The nonlinear response of a ten-story steel structure with semirigid
girder connections is studied under conditions of dynamic loading.
The dynamic loading used in this study is the North-South component
of the May 18, 1940 El Centro, California earthquake. To deal
with the complexity of the problem the structure is...
Two built-up wide-flange beams with several large holes in each
beam were tested to failure. Strains were measured by strain gages
at various levels, located at the ends and center of typical holes, and
deflections were measured optically at two points on each beam.
Lateral bracing was provided to prevent...
