Experimental database on connections for composite special moment frames (C-SMF)

<p>This database includess 91 representative experimental tests on connections between CFT columns and steel wide-flange beams. The data is divided into five groups based on the connection types, for example, through beam connections for circular CFT columns, split-tee connections for rectangular CFT columns, connections using diaphragms for circular CFT columns,connections using diaphragms for rectangular CFT columns,  and miscellaneous types used for CFT columns. For the first four groups, the following information are collected where reported: i) connection location, ii) loading type,  iii) geometric and material properties for the columns, beams and panel zone, and iv) figures showing connection details and experimental results. For the last group, geometric and material properties are not presented. Engineers are encouraged to look up the corresponding references if they are interested in these connection details. </p>
