Modeling of fracture in heavy steel welded beam-to-column connection submitted to cyclic loading by finite elements
During the earthquake in Japan and California in the 1990s, some weld beam-to-column connections had some cracks in heavy rigid frame steel building. Consequently it is required to assess the performance of the welded connection in term of rotation capacity and crack propagation strength. Some exper...
