A building framework includes plural column assemblies (26) supporting plural beams (24) supporting floors of the building, with the union of the column assemblies and beams forming beam- to - column (or beam- to - column - to -beam) joint connection assemblies (28) according to this invention. The joint connection assemblies inventively include novel features which remarkably and surprisingly improve the distribution of strain and plastic deformation in the joint connection structure when subjected to extreme load challenges to the building structure (as may occur during earthquake, explosion, progressive collapse load conditions, or massive impact. |
