The reduced beam section (RBS) moment connection, also known as the "dog bone," is rapidly emerging as a popular
choice for seismic-resistant steel moment fames.
While research and testing on this connection is continuing, prior research and field experience have shown that the RBS is
capable of economically providing ductile and reliable performance. This study is conducted to give advantageous factors related
to RBS connection in inclined beam column joint. External load leads to shear and flexural forces on the inclined columns
joints and its failure mode, resistant strength and ductility capacity is different than those of the perpendicular beam column
joint.
In this study analytical work on reduced beam column connection with round cut on the flange of the beam having different
beam and column inclination is investigated. These result were compared with double reduced section and triple reduced
sections.
