Abstract
Thematic Issue on Advances in Modeling, Analysis and Design of Steel Connections
Highlights
Analysis and design of steel connections between structural members are of primary importance in structural steel design, because the connections’ behavior significantly affects the response of steel structures under monotonic loading conditions, both in elastic and in plastic range, and exceptional impact loading conditions
Seismic design of steel structures is commonly carried out to assure the dissipation of the seismic input energy in the so-called “Dissipative Zones” which has to be properly detailed in order to assure wide and stable hysteresis loops
This thematic issue is constituted by ten papers focused on topics that provide a significant contribution to the revision of code provisions
Summary
Thematic Issue on Advances in Modeling, Analysis and Design of Steel Connections Analysis and design of steel connections between structural members are of primary importance in structural steel design, because the connections’ behavior significantly affects the response of steel structures under monotonic loading conditions, both in elastic and in plastic range, and exceptional impact loading conditions. The seismic response of steel structures is strongly affected by the ultimate behavior of structural connections under cyclic loading conditions [1 - 3].
