AbstractThis paper provides an overview of the state of the art for the design of steel moment connections for moment-resisting frames (MRFs) for regions of high seismic risk. The need to design such connections to be ductile with the capacity to sustain full load reversals is indicated first. The generally accepted approach of ‘strong columns/weak girders’, i.e. designing the joints to develop inelastic activity in the connections and beams rather than columns, is emphasized. A major section of the paper is devoted to presenting experimental results to illustrate the observed behavior of beam-to-column connections and column panel zones under severe cyclic loadings simulating extreme seismic conditions. Procedures are given for seismic moment joint calculations pertaining to flange-beam connections, web connections, and panel zone design. Typical seismic moment connections of beam-to-column flanges as well as to webs and column splices are illustrated. Because of further developments since 1982, the original date of the paper, a new section on recent research and additional references has been added. The paper concludes by indicating some of the problems requiring further investigation.
