Outreach Tests on composite battened columns and related column-base connections (DPC-ReLUIS 2010-2013, Line 2, Task 5, principal investigator Gaetano Della Corte). These experimental tests originate from a preceding study regarding the seismic risk assessment of an existing industrial facility, which was carried out in cooperation with the ReLUIS research line 2, task 3 (industrial facilities and lifelines, principal investigator Iunio Iervolino).
These experimental test results are used to assess the ability of current mechanical models in predicting the response of column base connections and to propose any eventual improvement or correction to those models. The tests are also enriching the database of experimental results regarding the moment-rotation response of connections in steel structures.
