The Performance of Preloaded Bolts in Seismically Prequalified Steel Joints in a Fire Scenario

Seismically pre-qualified beam-to-column joints guarantee large ductility in seismic scenarios thanks to the effectiveness of the design rules and technological requirements that are devoted to avoiding the failure of brittle components (i.e., bolts and welds). However, their performance under diffe...
