About Paper:

Steel-plate composite (SC) walls are made of two parallel steel plates connected by shear reinforcement with concrete infill. Compared to conventional reinforced concrete (RC), SC structures exhibit favorable behavioral properties (high strength and ductility) and efficient construction processes. When designing a structure using SC, joints are critical regions where slabs and walls intersect. The joint must be stronger than the connected elements for SC structures to develop slab or wall strength capacity and ductility. This paper discusses the behavior, testing, and analysis of SC T-shaped fully restrained moment connections. Fully restrained moment connections have sufficient flexural capacity to transfer moment demands while undergoing rotation. A T- shaped connection was destructively tested to failure to collect data on the specimen's rotation, displacement, and load capacity. The collected data was analyzed to determine specimen moment-rotation behavior and ultimate moment capacity. A greater understanding of the moment connections will assist with providing design recommendations for SC connections. Future research may include investigating the behavior of simple SC T- shaped connections and different reinforcement arrangements within the SC walls.
