Collection description

Recent years have brought significant advances in the design capabilities and construction practices of steel structures. These were partially caused by technological development and a direct effect of the research community efforts towards the mitigation of the earthquake induced damage. Making the traditional structural systems more resilient is one of the directions taken but, more and more, solutions with reduced post-earthquake repair costs are preferred. Steel structures are particularly malleable in the modern spirit of integrating devices which render the structure as “low-damage” or “easily repairable”. The recent earthquakes of Japan and New Zealand have demonstrated the feasibility and the advantages of such structural typologies. The current work presents an investigation on two steel structural solutions, including thus both moment resisting and braced frames, which have the potential of being easily used in practice, with minimal alteration of the design and erection procedures and improved post-earthquake economic benefits. The thesis focuses on (i) bolted connections of detachable short links for eccentrically braced frame and second, and (ii) on bolted friction connections for moment resisting frames. The main objective is to facilitate the application of these structural solutions in practice by enhancing the knowledge of their relevant bolted connection design and behavior.
