Abstract: The behavior of beam-column connections plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting and moment stiffness framed structure, especially under statically loaded. In this study, the moment-rotation characteristics of semi-rigid bolted connections using with top and seat angles is discussed based on experimental investigation. The aim was to provide necessary data to improve of the Eurocode 3.The maximum bending moment, the plastic flexural resistance, Mj.Rd and the bending moment capacity, MƟ.Cd increased with the increasing thickness of the top and seat angles joints.

Abstract: The architecture of the 21st century works with unusual and uneven shapes, showing a getting bigger wish to astonish people, but facing the environmental and economic issue and holding out against earthquakes and calamities. So, the point is: which is the right Building Material? All designers know that it's a big challenge finding the perfect building material, that allows creativity being environmentally friendly and cheap. Moreover, versatility would be another good selling point. Let's figure out a building where structure and skin speak the same language: a material that allows that truly exists; naturally grows up in the temperate and subtropical zones of all the existing continents; it is the new muse of architects all over the world: the bamboo. Its great mechanical resistance allows us to use it for structural needs, its flexibility is particularly suitable both in seismic zones and in articulated shape design; the low weight makes it a good choice for realizing performant coa
