Abstract
This study investigates the behaviour of beam-to-column connections of partially encased steel–concrete composite columns and steel beams connected using endplates and bolts. Four cruciform connections were tested in the experimental program, with varying column positions to study the flexural behaviour about the weak axis of inertia. The objective of the study was investigating the effect of uninterrupted fibre-reinforced concrete in a connection region on the ultimate capacity and stiffness of the connection. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of uninterrupted fibre-reinforced concrete at the connection, regardless of the axis of inertia of the column; the obtained strengths, rotations, displacements, and deformations were analysed.
