Download or read book Structural Steel Semirigid Connections written by Ciro Faella and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-10-27 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the semirigidity concept was introduced many years ago, steel structures are usually designed by assuming that beam-to-column joints are either pinned or rigid. Theses assumptions allow a great simplification in structural analysis and design-but they neglect the true behavior of joints. The economic and structural benefits of semirigid joints are well known and much has been written about their use in braced frames. However, they are seldom used by designers, because most semirigid connections have highly nonlinear behavior, so that the analysis and design of frames using them is difficult. In fact, the design problem becomes more difficult as soon as the true rotational behavior of beam-to-column joints is accounted for-the design problem requires many attempts to achieve a safe and economical solution. Structural Steel Semirigid Connections provides a comprehensive source of information on the design of semirigid frames, up to the complete detailing of beam-to-column connections, and focuses on the prediction of the moment-rotation curve of connections. This is the first work that contains procedures for predicting the connection plastic rotation supply-necessary for performing the local ductility control in nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Extensive numerical examples clarify the practical application of the theoretical background. This exhaustive reference and the awareness it provides of the influence of joint rotational behavior on the elastic and inelastic responses of structures will greatly benefit researchers, professionals, and specification writing bodies devoted to structural steel.

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis, (CINDAS) *at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity was transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 19 (thesis year 1974) a total of 10,045 theses titles from 20 Canadian and 209 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. The organization of Volume 19 is identical to that of past years. It consists of theses titles arranged by discipline and by university within each discipline.

Download or read book Stability Design of Steel Frames written by Wai-Kai Chen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability Design of Steel Frames provides a summary of the behavior, analysis and design of structural steel members and frames with flexibly-jointed connections. The book presents the theory and design of structural stability and includes extensions of computer-based analyses for individual members in space with imperfections. It also shows how connection flexibility influences the behavior and design of steel frames and how designers must consider this in a limit-state analysis and design procedure. The clearly written text and extensive bibliography make this a practical book for advanced students, researchers and professionals in civil and structural engineering, as well as a useful supplement to traditional books on the theory and design of structural stability.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a pioneer in introducing the circular bolt pattern configuration in extended endplate steel connections. Discovering the static and cyclic behavior of such connections is at the forefront of this research study. To accomplish this goal, full-scale experimental testing complemented with three dimensional non-linear finite element analysis was conducted. Due to the similarity between the behavior of T-Stubs under tension, and tension flange of the extended end-plate connection, experimental study was conducted on several T-Stub connections to study the effect of the bolt pattern configuration on the ductility, bolt force distribution, flange deformation, and overall performance of the connection. The specimens were fabricated in the laboratory and the bolts were strain gauged to monitor the bolt force during testing. This experimental study was coupled with nonlinear finite element modeling for further validation of the FEM results. Three-dimensional non-linear finite element models were developed for each case using the corresponding geometric values. The steel plates were modeled with 8-noded linear brick, reduced integration, and hourglass control element. Six-noded linear triangular prism elements were used to model the bolts, bolt head, nuts, and the washers. The combined hardening plasticity algorithm was used in order to model the behavior of the Grade-50 hot-rolled steel elements during monotonic and cyclic loading. Isotropic hardening was used to model the material properties for the high strength steel bolts. Small sliding surface-to-surface contact algorithm was considered for all the contacts. The welds were modeled by a tie-contact algorithm. The frictional surfaces accompanied by tangential forces were modeled by a tangential-contact algorithm. The contact surfaces between the end-plate and column were modeled by the frictional contact using the penalty method. One hundred eighty two numerical models with circular and square bolt patterns were developed and analyzed by using the developed FEM. A comprehensive test matrix was used to investigate the effectiveness of the various geometric parameters on the overall behavior of the connections. The parametric study included seven bolt diameters, six values of end-plate thickness, three beam sizes, and two different bolt pattern configurations based on the most commonly used range of variables. The numerical results of the connections with circular bolt pattern were compared with that of the connections with traditional square bolt pattern. Also, the effects of these parameters on the moment-rotation characteristics and energy dissipation of the connection were investigated. To simulate the hysteresis behavior of the connection (i.e. energy dissipation), four parameter tri-linear hysteresis models were used to fit the outer loops of the moment-rotation hysteresis loops obtained from the FEM experiments. Comprehensive regression analyses were conducted to obtain equations for dependent variables (tri-linear model parameters) in terms of independent geometric variables.) The results of this study show that the circular bolt pattern can enhance the moment capacity, reduce pinching, and ultimately increase energy dissipation of the connections depending on their geometric parameters.

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.
