Abstract:
|
In this paper, a nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis of hybrid-steel concrete connections is presented. The detailed experimental results of
the four full-scale hybrid-steel concrete connections with limited seismic detailing have been discussed in a different paper. However, due to
the inherent complexity of beam–column joints and the unique features of the tested specimens, the experimental study was not comprehensive
enough. Therefore, in this paper, an analytical investigation based on the FE models and using the DIANA software is presented. The FE models
were validated using the experimental results of the hybrid-steel concrete connections tested in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
The critical parameters influencing the joint’s behaviour, such as the axial load on column, the connection plate thickness, and the continuation of beam bottom reinforcement, are varied, and their effects, especially implications on code specifications, are studied. |
