Abstract
Dynamic behavior of beam-to-column connections is investigated experimentally. The test parameters are details of the joints, loading rates and the temperatures. As the results of this experimental test, the conclusions are summarized as follows. 1)The loading rates have little influence upon the fracture modes and energy absorption capacity of the specimens. 2)The yield strength and the maximum strength can be investigated using the Strain rate- temperature parameter(R). 3)The temperature has very large influence upon the energy absorption and fracture modes. In case of low temperature, the energy absorption value becomes less and the fracture mode becomes brittle.
