dc.description.abstractThis paper presents an experimental study of demountable steel-concrete composite reduced web section (RWS) connections for use in seismic areas. Four composite connection specimens were subjected to sagging and hogging moments to investigate the performance of RWS connections under reversible actions. For such purpose, a single web opening was created near the beam-column joint. Focus was made on the effects of perforation location and composite beam-slab action induced by bolted shear studs within the protected zone. Results indicate that employing RWS connections for seismic retrofit is a viable solution capable of achieving a performance similar to that observed for RBS connections in new buildings. Notably, a Vierendeel Mechanism is formed, allowing for plasticity development in the beam. All RWS connections were capable of achieving an interstory drift larger than 4%, thereby complying with the performance targets set by ANSI/AISC 358- 16, ANSI/AISC 341-16 and EC8. Moreover, the deformation of beam-slab shear-transfer bolts was small enough to allow for disassembly after the tests, indicating that the proposed solution could enable reuse and post-earthquake retrofitting.en_GB
