This book was released on 2000 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to problems associated with welded moment connections uncovered after the Northridge earthquake, large bolted connections are becoming a much more attractive alternative for design in seismic regions. However, stringent design requirements established by the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (1997) make current moment end-plate configurations and design procedures inadequate for multi-story buildings. This dissertation first examines and critiques current seismic design philosophies as applied to moment end-plate connections. Next, the finite element method is used to develop much-needed design procedures for large moment end-plate connections, and to improve the understanding of the role of geometric parameters (e.g., bolt pitch and stiffener locations) in the response of these connections. Finally, single-story and multi-story frames incorporating large moment end-plate connections with known moment-rotation characteristics are considered under seismic loading to determine the effectiveness of these systems in dissipating energy caused by the ground motion

Download or read book Moment Resistant Connections of Steel Frames in Seismic Areas written by Federico Mazzolani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-04-27 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unexpected brittle failure of connections and of members occurred during the last earthquakes of Northridge and Kobe. For this reason a heightened awareness developed in the international scientific community, particularly in the earthquake prone countries of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, of the urgent need to investigate this topic. The contents of this volume result from a European project dealing with the 'Reliability of moment resistant connections of steel frames in seismic areas' (RECOS), developed between 1997 and 1999 within the INCO-Copernicus joint research projects of the 4th Framework Program. The 30 month project focused on five key areas: *Analysis and syntheses of research results, including code provisos, in relation with the evidence of the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes; *Identification and evaluation through experimental means of the structural performance of beam-to-column connections under cyclic loading; *Setting up of sophisticated models for interpreting the connection response; *Numerical study on the connection influence on the seismic response of steel buildings; *Assessment of new criteria for selecting the behaviour factor for different structural schemes and definition of the corresponding range of validity in relation of the connection typologies.

Download or read book Sloped Connections and Connections with Fillet Welded Continuity Plates for Seismic Design of Special Moment Frames written by Adel Mashayekh and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel Special Moment Frames (SMF) are one of the most popular lateral force-resisting systems for multistory building construction in high seismic regions due to their architectural versatility. With a significant amount of research that was conducted after the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake, AISC has published design guidelines (AISC 341 and AISC 358) to avoid brittle fracture of beam-to-column welded moment connections that occurred in more than 100 steel buildings. This dissertation addresses two issues related to the moment connection design of SMF. Unless the column flanges are sufficiently thick, AISC 341 requires that continuity plates be installed, and that expensive complete-joint-penetration (CJP) groove welds be used to connect the continuity plates to the column flanges; the conservative nature of this requirement stems from a lack of procedure that the designer can use to quantify the required seismic forces in the continuity plates such that more economical welds (e.g., fillet welds) can be used. The first objective of this research was to investigate a design procedure and to verify it with full-scale testing of two Reduced Beam Section (RBS) moment connections. It was shown that the proposed design procedure could result in a more economical weld design while developing the ductile response of the moment connection. AISC seismic design codes implicitly assume that beams are orthogonal to the columns in elevation, but in real-life construction beams are sometimes connected to the columns with a slope. To fill this knowledge gap, both experimental and analytical studies were conducted. Full-scale testing of two additional moment connections with a 25° angle of inclination showed that sloped connections are vulnerable to brittle fracture at the "heel" location, where the beam flange and column form an acute angle. Fracture would initiate from the end of beam web CJP weld and the weld access hole. Guided by finite element simulation, a truss analogy model was proposed to predict the force concentration at the heel location. A Force Concentration Factor was introduced to evaluate when the effect of inclination can be ignored. When such effect needs to be addressed, a solution that introduces a curved slot in the beam web was proposed. The effectiveness of this solution was verified by nonlinear finite element analysis.
