ABSTRACT
The beam and column elements were the same sections in all tests namely 254 x 102 x 22 UB, 1000 mm long and 152 x 152 x 23 UC, 750 mm long. The static yield stresses of the column material and the beam material were 266 N/mm2 and 287 N/mm2 respectively, and were found by testing coupons from their flanges. For the top and bottom flange cleat connections unequal angles were used; an 80 x 60 x 8 for the top cleat and a 125 x 75 x 8 for the bottom cleat. For the web cleat test again a pair of 80 x 60 x 8 angle sections was used.
