Conference summary
Seismic events pose great challenges for the design of structures in general and, in particular, for joints in steel. This conference will address the elements that make up a bolted connection from the conceptual point of view.
A general review will be made of seismic considerations in moment connections with the lessons learned from the Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquakes. Finally, the performance of prequalified moment joints of the AISC 358-16 standard will be reviewed and a space for questions and answers will be provided.
