Lateral-Torsional Buckling Capacity of Tapered-Flange Moment Frame Shapes
While moment frames are a popular lateral-force resisting system, their constant cross-section can lead to inefficiencies in energy absorption and stiffness. By tapering the flange width linearly toward the center of the beam length, the energy absorption efficiency can be increased, leading to a be...
