Design of BUEPP Rigid Connections In this project, I was responsible for the design of rigid connections using the BUEPP system. These connections were developed to enhance the lateral stiffness and seismic performance of the structure, in accordance with the latest code requirements and with careful consideration of the nonlinear behavior of structural members. The precise design of these connections improved the overall safety of the structure, reduced lateral displacements, and increased its durability against seismic and wind loads.
