Nonlinear Seismic Performance Evaluation of Flexural Slotted Connection Using Endurance Time Method by Seyed Mohamad Seyed Kolbadi, Hosein Piri, Ali Keyhani, S.Mahdi Seyed-Kolbadi, Masoud Mirtaheri

“…It is found that the endurance time analysis is justified with the seismic performance of the connections with low computational cost and proper accuracy. The results of comparing both SW and WUF connections indicated that the SW connection prevents the connection welding area from being failed due to transferring the plastic joint into the beam and in an area away from the column face and causes less damage compared to the WUF connection.…”
