Abstract

Experimental results and comparative study has proven to be core for the foundation and development of structural and earthquake engineering. In the recent past, various research has been carried out from full scale to scaled model prototypes on the evaluation of weld and bolt steel connections. Reversal stresses that occur within milliseconds make beam-column connections most vulnerable to lateral loads when exposed. It would result in failure and catastrophe if not designed and erected correctly. The capability to transfer forces through the joint is the index to keep the structure safe and sound to avoid progressive collapse in the case of buildings. It is clear now that failure of beam-column joint will ultimately lead to structural damage, so the importance is self-evident.
