Hysteretic Behavior of Beam-to-Column Joints with Cast Steel Connectors

Table 3

Failure characteristics of the specimens in the hysteretic tests.

Specimen	Failure characteristics
	Cast steel connector deformation	Column flange deformation	Beam deformation	Displacement at the beam tip
DT1	Large	Unnoticeable	Unnoticeable	Large
DT2	Moderate	Moderate	Unnoticeable	Moderate
DT3	Small	Moderate	Buckling of the flange and web	Small
