Many steel structures suffered damage at beam-to-column connections under the Northridge and Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquakes more than 8 years ago. After these earthquakes, a remarkable number of studies have been made on beam-to-column connections in U.S. and Japan. Nevertheless, in those studies, little attention has been paid to the point of repairing. The purpose of this study is to propose new ductile steel structure frame system, which realizes not only structural performances but also easy repairing after heavy earthquake. This system is based on bolted connections with split-tee. Main feature of this system is to limit plastic deformation to the splittee at bottom flange. To the contrary, the split-tee at top flange can be kept in elastic, because the center of rotation stays at the top flange of beam end.Consequently, when the structure using this system suffers compulsory deformation under the earthquake, the deformation concentrates on the split-tee at bottom flange. Finally, two series of static tests were conducted. First series are axial loading tests of the weak-web-split-tee elements, and second series are bending tests of beam-to-column connections having weak-web-split-tee. From the result of these tests, we verified that this system had efficient deformation capacity. In addition, the damaged part of this system would.be easy to repair or change to new one.
