Abstract

This study presents replaceable reduced beam sections with connection detail for MRFs under residual drift. The proposed detail includes end-plated mid-spliced reduced beam sections. Pursuant to this goal, the proposed detail has been investigated under cyclic loading protocol required by AISC 341-16 by using ABAQUS finite element program. Seismic response of the proposed connection detail was compared from PEEQ and Rupture Index standpoint. The obtained findings indicate that the proposed mid-spliced replaceable reduced beam section satisfies all requirements indicated by AISC 341-16.
