<p>A moment frame connector is provided to realize minimal fabrication at the worksite by inserting a yield link in a bore of a buckling restraint block to be attached to the buckling restraint block and a column. A moment frame connector comprises a structural frame, a buckling restraint block(116), and a yield link(114). The structural frame includes a beam(102) and a column(104). The buckling restraint block is affixed to the beam. The yield link is threaded into the buckling restraint block and bolted to the column. The yield link is capable of yielding in tension and compression to dissipate stress within the frame upon a lateral load applied to the structural frame.</p> |
