Ductility Enhancement of Post-Northridge Connections by Multilongitudinal Voids in the Beam Web

Since the earthquakes in Northridge and Kobe in 1994 and 1995, respectively, many investigations have been carried out towards improving the strength and ductility of steel beam to column pre- and post-Northridge connections. In order to achieve these objectives, recent researches are mainly focused...
