Abstract
Since the turn of the century, numerous articles have been published with analysis of semi-rigid connections in steel structures. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of major recently published research work dealing with the behaviour of semi-rigid beam-column connections under various configurations of fasteners and welding lines under both monotonic and cyclic loads. The review has two main respects: the first is the moment versus curvature behaviours of semi-rigid steel connections, while the second involves finite element analysis of such connections under monotonic and cyclic loads. The main conclusions concerning the dynamic behaviours of semi-rigid steel connections emerge with regard to the vital influence of beam-column connections on the global seismic performance of steel frame structures. Developing semi-rigidity should thus be considered an effective way to achieve the required performance.
