Key Words. bbeam-to-column connection, reduced beam section (RBS), circular cut ABSTRACT ‘The wide spread brittle fractures occurring at the steel moment-resisting frame connections were observed after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. ‘The observed damage prevented the welded beam-to-column connections from the intended inelastic behavior to resist earthquake ground shaking. ‘Numerous researches were since then undertaken to improve the behavior of such flange-welded and web-bolted connections This experimental research was conducted to investigate the ultimate flexural strength and ductility performance of reduced beam section (RBS) connections, ‘A total of four full-scale specimens with radius-cut RBS were fabricated, Experimental results demonstrate that radius-cut_ RBS connections possessed sufficient flexural strength as well as excellent ductility. The radius-cut RBS has been proved to be an easier construction and —t ® MLE ARE 1994 AC 1998 pH SY 6.6 HAD TAZ TUUR STARR SR CEA DDI > SMT RR BN RRS effective technique to improve the seismic behavior of the joints. ie EWN « OS, ASR ATMEL REREAD (1-3) RS AORAREN AMRP RAGS BEEDT PPR iNCERRHEM - AR ERATE OR TREO ED HOR RIBERA BOR em MET {RIM ABS ALAS MEER {MDa RCE220 PREAKHIASH BRE BM RBA) TRALEE AR RHE eR SCRAP + SADE SHIREREH LS: « Bu» ASAE REL RH AREA «RAR SE « WEORASRM MRE RAM REMY RAM RUMOR ETRE « PORE SARTRE Eat TRE TORU ARGULTIRUR ARMM RAM ARREARS THEREON + TURD TT * SRECA-BER SLMHTMM ER MNES ALR URA RE LAG PAAR EOS NN WM OK Homie « MIRREN Rete - ase steRIRETEE HRSSREASHAREKR MSMR | TE BETAS CART RATT CT ROVER AME M LAM [4.5] ‘eps RaR A CREDG SEER EAL EEC - LER ESATMEGR + RAE RUESTINRRORRHER «ARAL SURED HDL « ARE ARE « RIA StU Plumier 8: » SRST ALON 1 i [6] » UDA FTSRRITT ESTE RE « AE RBA Sei HRY AND EARTLO 2 FT.
