This session will illustrate the instabilities which can exist in beam over column connections and unframed beam ends via case studies, previous published sources, and the presenters’ personal experiences in evaluating failures of these connections. The three categories of compression forces that require stabilization at these connections are identified. Current code provisions will be summarized with conceptual methods provided on how to provide the appropriate stability at these connections.
