Abstract:European standard EN 1993 does not permit the design of joints made from steel with a yield stress > 460 MPa using the principles of semi-continuous/partially restrained construction, and will remain forbidden in its current revision within the scope of the CEN/2014-02 programme for the evolution of the structural Eurocodes. The findings of a comprehensive research programme on the non-linear behaviour of moment-resisting joints with components made from high-strength steel grades (yield stresses of 690 and 96… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
