Abstract

Cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are increasingly popular in the construction industry due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of fabrication, and cost-effectiveness. This study focuses on the development of a detailed mathematical model to accurately simulate the cyclic behavior of CFS moment-resisting bolted connection frames, particularly considering the local buckling of connected frames. Bolted joints are preferred in thin-walled CFS structures over welded joints due to their ease of installation and adaptability in seismic design, relying on slip and bearing mechanisms of bolts to accommodate inelastic deformations and dissipate energy during seismic events. The proposed model incorporates these mechanisms and validates them against experimental data and refined finite element analyses. Significant findings highlight the importance of the balanced number and arrangement of bolts in preventing excessive bolt slip and premature buckling. This research provides a robust analytical tool for optimizing bolted joint designs in CFS bolted connection frames, contributing to safer and more resilient CFS structures in seismic regions. The model’s computational efficiency further enhances its practicality for engineers and researchers.

期刊介绍： Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses. Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering. The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
