DESCRIPTION:Prof. Amit Kanvinde\, University of California\, Davis\nAbstr
 act\nColumn base connections are arguably the most important connections i
 n steel buildings\, transferring loads from the entire structure into the 
 foundation. At the interface of steel and concrete\, these connections are
  complex in terms of behavior\, design\, as well as structural interaction
 s with the building frame. The lecture will present our current understand
 ing of these connections based on numerous studies\, with an emphasis on A
 ISC-funded studies conducted over the last 15 years. Exposed\, slab-overto
 pped\, and embedded connections will be discussed\, addressing their respo
 nse (strength\, failure modes\, stiffness\, and deformation characteristic
 s). Implications for design of the connections as well as the building wil
 l be presented. Prospective developments in base connection design will be
  foreshadowed\, including a revision of the AISC Design Guide One\, and th
 e use of dissipative base connections in seismic design.\n\nBio\nAmit Kanv
 inde is a professor in the department of civil and environmental engineeri
 ng at the University of California\, Davis. His research is focused on the
  seismic response of steel structures and connections.  He is the recipie
 nt of the 2022 T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award from AISC (on the topic of b
 ase connections)\, and has previously received AISC’s Special Achievemen
 t Award (2017) and various awards from ASCE\, including the Walter Huber R
 esearch Prize (2016)\, the State of the Art of Civil Engineering Award (20
 18)\, and the Norman Medal (2008). He is the co-author of the column base 
 plate example (for Steel Moment Frames) in the SEAOC Seismic Design Manual
 \, and is the lead author of the next edition of AISC's Design Guide One 
 on column base connections. His research is cited in numerous standards\,
  and he currently serves on the AISC Connection Prequalification Review P
 anel\, which approves the AISC 358 standard on prequalified moment frame c
 onnections. \n
