ABSTRACT

The paper summarises the main results of the full scale tests on beam-to-column joints, carried out within the experimental programme of COPERNICUS “RECOS” European Research Project, in the Laboratory of Department of Steel Structures and Structural Mechanics of the “Politehnica” University of Timisoara. Two series of six double-sided joints with three different beam-to-column connection typologies have been tested under symmetrical and anti-symmetrical cyclic loading, respectively.
