Abstract: A wide theoretical and experimental study was made on different types (welded and bolted) of beam-to-column connections has been made using Reduced Beam Section (RBS) concept. The beam is reduced on the flange with specified radii on both sides of the section. Totally 6 different models have been analysed ANSYS. Single and Double stiffeners are additionally provided in order to increase the time taken for deformation thereby avoiding sudden collapse in the structure. Total deformation is the main parameter considered in the study. Comparing the results from the ANSYS software and thereby choosing the critical section. Then the critical section is developed into a 3 storey frame for which push over analysis is performed using E-TABS. Performance of the building is observed at different stages of hinge formation and push over curve is plotted.
