Patent abstract
The reinforced joint for a beam-column connection is provided for improving the resistance of steel-framed buildings against progressive collapse. Flange stiffening plates reinforce flanges of structural beams, with beam web stiffeners being attached to and extending between the flange stiffening plates. Additional column web stiffeners are attached to and extend between flanges of a structural column. A longitudinal cover stiffening plate is attached to the column stiffeners and the flange stiffening plates, extending across the joint and at least partially covering the beam web stiffeners. The reinforced joint between the structural beams and the structural column develops catenary action in the structural beams in the event of collapse.
