Characterization equations for steel column base connections

Martin Dumas, Denis Beaulieu, and André Picard

This paper presents partial results of a research program under way at Laval University for which the main goal is to introduce the behaviour of steel connections into commercial structural analysis software. The objective of this paper is to derive analytical characterization equations for three commonly used steel column base connections. The procedure to derive these equations is based on a curve standardization theory that requires a number of experimental results in the form of moment–rotation curves
