Abstract
This paper presents a research on the strength of the bolted beam-to-column connection which makes the most use of panel zone yielding of the wide-flange column as energy dissipating elements for earthquake resistant design. Major findings are summarized as follows. (1) The collapse strength of a column flange subjected to the out-of-plane force due to the tensile bolted joint is obtained by applying the yield line theory and its validity is experimentally confirmed. (2) The collapse mechanisms which occur at a split-tee type or a double-angle type of bolted beam-to-column connection are enumerated and the collapse strength of each mechanism is formulated. (3) Some examples of the connection design are illustrated and the advantage of the double-angle type connection is revealed.
