One of the most important structures to resist against lateral loading, are moment frames. It is obvious that the beam-column connections play an important role in frame behavior especially on the lateral displacement of structure. In this study, 3 buildings with 5, 10 and 15 stories respectively was modeled by ETABS software and various dimension was applied on beams and columns of these buildings in order to accurately assess the effect of dimension variation of beam and column in connections. It was revealed that the amount of drift ratio significantly decreased by increasing the ratio of beam height to beam width. Moreover, the enhancement of ratio of column width to column height caused to decrease the drift in connections. The increase of ratio of width of beam to width of column will lead to decrease drift, as well.
