HERA R4-142: Eccentric cleats in compression and columns in moment resisting connections, amdt 2

Description

This publication presents design guidance on two different types of connections.

The first type is the eccentric cleat in compression which is used in a range of braced frame applications, connecting the braces into the supporting frames. The design procedure covers connections using unstiffened plates and connections with one plate stiffened.

The second type of connection covered is the moment-resisting beam to column connection used in conventional rigid moment frames. These are the welded moment and the moment endplate connections.
