Behaviour of Connections of Seismic Resistant Steel Frames
Abstract An unexpected brittle failure of connections and, in same cases, of members occurred during the last earthquakes of Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995). Immediately after, the international scientific community and, in particular, the earthquake prone Countries of the Mediterranean area and of the Eastern Europe were aware of the urgent need to investigate new topics and to improve the current seismic provisions consequently. In addition, it was observed that the whole background of the modern seismic codes deserves to be completely reviewed in order to grasp the design rules which failed during the last above mentioned seismic events. This revision must be aimed at the updating of seismic codes and in particular at the improvement of Eurocode 8, whose application will be widespread in the next years after the so-called conversion phase, which is now in course.
