Fig. 6 Comparison between fracture global strains at beam end predicted by WES2808 and measured in fracture test for full-scale beam-to column subassemblies. 5. Summary This paper demonstrates the application of fracture assessment method specified in WES 2808 to full-scale models of beam-to-column connections subjected to cyclic and dynamic loading. The fracture performance of full scale models of beam-to-column connections evaluated by the procedure specified in WES 2808 was almost consistent with the experimental results.
