Prediction and validation of sidesway collapse of two scale models of a 4-story steel moment frame.

A research program is summarized in which collapse of a steel frame structure is predicted numerically and the accuracy of prediction is validated experimentally through earthquake simulator tests of two 1:8 scale models of a 4-story code-compliant prototype moment-resisting frame. We demonstrate th...
