Abstract
The connection ductility is crucial for reducing brittle failure in multi-hazard scenarios. This study develops connections, namely angular cylindrical RBS connections, to meet the ductility demand created by a beam subjected to a thermal load or earthquake. Three sections were considered in this research: first, sequentially coupled nonlinear thermal-stress analysis was conducted by using the FE software ABAQUS to examine fire performance. Secondly, the most efficient connections with superior thermal performance were analyzed separately under seismic loads and progressive failure situations. The results were extracted and compared in terms of failure modes, distribution of plastic hinges, axial force diagrams, and hysteresis curves. Based on the results, when the angle assembly is accurately designed, the catenary mechanism is fully developed under fire or the removal of the column in a progressive failure disaster. Furthermore, the angular cylindrical RBS connection reached a total story drift angle of 0.03 rad without lateral-torsional buckling, which exceeds the AISC/FEMA requirements for intermediate moment frames.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
