An alternative to reinforcing a moment connection that provides benefits similar to reinforce-ment, but may avoid some of the disadvantages, is the “dogbone” moment connection.
"dog-bone" shape at a proper distance from the column flange, RBS connections have been also called “dog-bone” connections (Fig. 1). In 1994 Northridge earthquake and in 1995 Kobe earthquake a lot of unexpected damages to steel moment-resisting frames were observed. These damages were mainly due to the failure of
Since that time one of the main objective of the research concerning the dog-bone con-nections has been the development of design rules able to promote the beam yielding for safe-guarding the beam-to-column connections. [13-33] In the following research activity, dog-bone connections have been used also for promot-

The use of “dog-bones”, i.e. the weakening of the beam section by properly trimming its flanges around the connection, has been proposed aiming at both the protection of the beam-to-column joints and the promotion of the plastic hinge formation in the beams rather than in the columns.
