- Abstract
The article presents a study on the capacity of beam-to-column connections in high-rise buildings in Japan to resist seismic pressure through the use of E-Defense shaking table test. Field-welded connection and shop-welded connection are the two types of connections adopted for the examination of seismic capacity of buildings. The test results indicate that some field-welded connections fractured from the bottom flange weld boundary due to the failure in the actual field welding where ensuring and inspection performance should have been done well. The shop-welded connections, on the otherhand, are able to endure many cycles of plastic rotation.
