This dissertation investigates the flexural behavior of beam-column connections with gusset plates and their ability to improve the seismic collapse performance of concentrically braced frames. Previous experimental and field observations demonstrated that reserve lateral force-resisting capacity due to the flexural strength of connections outside the primary lateral force-resisting system of steel frames can maintain structural stability if the primary system is damaged. Several experimental studies were conducted to quantify the flexural behavior of these connections, but there has only been limited investigation of beam-column connections with
gusset plates.
