Seismic performance of CFST column to steel beam joint with RC slab: Experiments

The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic behaviour of the composite joint consisting of circular concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column and steel beam with reinforced concrete (RC) slab. Six specimens, including four interior and two exterior joints, were tested under constant axially compressive load on the top of the columns and cyclic loads at the ends of the beams. The main experimental parameters were the type of the joint, the axial load level on the CFST column and the section configuration of the beam. Several indexes that could reflect the seismic behaviour of the composite joint, such as the ductility, the strength degradation, and the energy dissipation capacity were analyzed. It was found that the composite joints exhibited favorable seismic performance.

为了探讨钢管混凝土柱-钢梁平面框架的抗震性能,本文进行了12个框架试件在恒定轴力和水平反复荷载作用下的试验研究,主要考察了柱截面形状(圆形、方形)、含钢率(圆形:α=0.06,0.103;方形:α=0.125,0.126)、柱轴压比(圆形:n=0.06~0.60;方形:n=0.04~0.60)、梁柱线刚度比(圆形:i=0.36~0.58;方形:i=0.34~0.62)等参数对其力学性能的影响。试验结果表明:钢管混凝土柱-钢梁框架滞回曲线较为饱满,强度和刚度退化不明显;柱轴压比和含钢率对框架的承载力和抗震性能影响较大,随着轴压比的增大,框架的水平极限承载力下降,位移延性和耗能能力降低,而含钢率影响规律则相反;圆形截面柱框架抗震性能整体上优于方形截面柱框架。按照《钢管混凝土结构技术规程》(DBJ13—51—2003)设计的钢管混凝土框架能够满足结构抗震设计要求。

Seismic design of reduced beam section steel moment connections with bolted web attachment

Recent test results on reduced beam section (RBS) steel moment connections showed that specimens with a bolted web connection tend to perform poorly due to premature brittle fracture of the beam flange at the weld access hole. The measured strain data appeared to indicate that a higher incidence of base metal fracture in bolted web specimens is related, at least in part, to the increased demand on the beam flanges due to the web bolt slippage and the actual load transfer mechanism which is significantly different from that usually assumed in connection design. In this paper, the practice of providing web bolts uniformly along the beam depth was brought into question. A new seismic design procedure, which is more consistent with the actual load path identified from analytical and experimental studies, is proposed. A pilot test specimen designed by following the proposed procedure exhibited sufficient cyclic connection rotation capacity without fracture.

Seismic evaluation of reduced beam section frames considering connection flexibility

In the present article, the seismic performance of frames with reduced beam section (RBS) connections is evaluated. A key purpose of this study is the inclusion of connections flexibility in the seismic performance of RBS frames. Almost in every research projects carried out on seismic performance and design of RBS frames, the beam‐to‐column connection is typically assumed as fully rigid. The results of nonlinear finite element analysis performed on investigating the local performance of RBS connection reveal that they are within the American Institute of Steel Construction‐defined semirigid connections. Three building frames, including 4, 8 and 16 stories considering the semirigid connection as well as fully rigid connection, are considered. A numerical study of the overall seismic response of the building frames subjected to near as well as far field earthquake ground motions using nonlinear static and/or nonlinear dynamic analysis is presented. Results in terms of inter‐story drifts, total drifts, story shears and shear deformation in panel zone indicate that overlooking the flexibility of beam‐to‐column connections may lead to erroneous conclusions and unsafe seismic behavior that subsequently become significant in some cases.

Cyclic Experimental Behavior of CFST Column to Steel Beam Frames with Blind Bolted Connections

This paper aims to investigate the seismic behavior of blind bolted end plate composite frames between square or circular concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and steel beams. Two composite frames were tested under a constant axial load on the CFST columns and a lateral cyclic load on the frame. Each specimen composed of CFST columns and steel beams was selected to represent a plan frame in an assembly building. Failure pattern of the type of frames was analyzed to comprehend the structural response. The seismic resistance ability of the blind bolted CFST frames was also estimated in terms of hysteretic curves, ductility and energy dissipation etc. The effect of column section type and end plate type on the type of semi-rigid CFST frames was studied. The test results showed that at the same steel ratio of the column section, the bearing capacity and energy dissipation of square CFST frame were higher than those of circular CFST frame at ultimate state. Strain response of main members in each CFST frame was also estimated. The internal force analysis of the test CFST frames with semi-rigid connections was discussed and evaluated the effect of the bending moment distribution. It was concluded that the novel typed CFST frames exhibited excellent seismic performance and structural internal force redistribution. The experimental studies will be useful for design and application of the blind bolted CFST frames in fabricated steel structure building.     

Hysteretic behaviour of flush end plate joints to concrete-filled steel tubular columns

The results of an experimental research study involving the testing of four bolted moment-resisting connections under simulated seismic loading conditions are presented. Each test specimen modeled the interior joint of a moment-resisting frame consisting of H-shaped steel beams and circular or square concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns using high-strength blind bolts. In order to investigate the seismic behaviour of the blind bolted flush end plate joints to CFST columns, the hysteretic performance, failure modes, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation of the connection type are evaluated in detail. The test parameters varied included the column section type and the thickness of the end plate. The experimental results indicate that both the blind bolted connections with circular and square sections exhibited excellent hysteretic behaviour in terms of their moment–rotation response, strain distributions and energy dissipation. Under cyclic loading, all tested specimens displayed large rotation ductility capacities, and the failure modes were similar to those under monotonic loads. The effects of cyclic loading on the behaviour of the composite joint were obvious, especially on load bearing and stiffness of the connections. The joint type exhibited excellent seismic performance, so that it can be effectively utilized in moment-resisting composite frame structures.

高轴压比下复式钢管混凝土柱 钢梁连接节点抗震性能试验

为了研究高轴压比下复式钢管混凝土柱 钢梁连接节点的抗震性能,按照现行规范设计了3个强柱弱梁型复式钢管混凝土外环板节点试件,进行了低周往复加载试验,研究其在高轴压比下的破坏形态、承载能力、变形能力以及耗能能力等。结果表明:增加水平环板的宽度可以有效提高节点的延性;锚固腹板加肋可以增加梁柱连接节点的初始刚度,增强节点的整体性,从而提高节点的承载能力和耗能能力;节点试件的破坏表现为钢梁翼缘首先发生屈服,随着水平荷载加大,试件同时出现梁端塑性铰和柱端塑性铰的破坏形态,锚固腹板加肋和水平环板加宽的试件在加载后期出现明显的柱端压弯破坏,各节点核心区应力较小,基本处于弹性阶段,因此高轴压比下复式钢管混凝土柱 钢梁连接节点可实现强节点要求,但不能满足“强柱弱梁”的抗震设防要求。     

Seismic performance of steel frames with reduced beam section connections

Reduced beam section (RBS) moment resisting connections are among the most economical and practical rigid steel connections developed in the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake. Although extensive experimental testing and some numerical simulations have shed light on the behavior of this type of connection, system level studies of RBS steel frames are still quite limited. As part of this research, nonlinear pushover and transient analyses of 4-, 8-, and 16-story frames with RBS connections are conducted with the objective of developing a better understanding of RBS frame behavior and exercising as well as critiquing the recently published FEMA-350 design specifications. The analyses confirm that in spite of inherently low overstrength, RBS frames are capable of economically providing good seismic performance in regions of high seismic risk. Other structural behavior issues with design implications are also discussed.

A simplified analytical story drift evaluation of steel moment frames with radius-cut reduced beam section

A simplified analytical procedure is presented to estimate the elastic story drift of steel frames with the radius-cut RBS (reduced beam section) moment connections. Due to the geometric configuration of the radius-cut RBS, the mathematical formulation is complicated when applying the conjugate beam method to compute the component of story drift contributed by the beam. In this study, the problem is circumvented by replacing the original radius-cut RBS with an equivalent beam of constant width. The equivalence between the two is established by imposing the equal flange elongation criterion over the RBS region. This approach is justified by a finite element analysis. The story drift components contributed by the column, the panel zone, and the beam are then formulated into a closed form solution for a typical beam-column subassembly. The derived results can readily be used by designers to estimate the magnitude of RBS frame story drift and the effect of the stiffness variations.
