Title
Behaviour factors of MR steel frames with semi-rigid connections: a parametric study
Subject
q-factor MR steel frames Semi-rigid joints Stiffness, resistence and deformation capacity Limit states
In this paper same results are presented, related to the parametric study of the q-factor of steel moment resistant frames. The study considers semi-rigid beam-to-column joints with standard behaviour, characterized by their stiffness, resistance and deformation capacity. Three performance levels or limit states are considered, Serviceability Limit State (SLS), Damageability Limit State (DLS) and Ultimate Limit State (ULS).
