Abstract
Bolted connections are preferred in prefabricated steel structures with the advantages of quality control and convenient construction. An innovative type of earthquake‐resilient joint with slotted bolted connection (ERJ‐SBC) is proposed to achieve damage control and improve the ductile behavior of steel structures. The bending moment is assumed to be mainly transferred by the flange segments of SBC while the shear force is carried by the web segments. The energy dissipation capacity of ERJ‐SBC is provided by the initial frictional sliding and inelastic axial deformation of SBC under larger displacement. Design theory is proposed to ensure that inelastic deformation is concentrated in SBC while other structural members remain elastic. The influences of the length of slotted holes, bolt pretension, friction coefficient, and the thickness and width of the sliding plate are investigated through the numerical analysis of 44 FE examples. The calculation of the critical length of slotted holes for the ductile rotation behavior of ERJ‐SBC is derived and verified. Results demonstrate that the mechanism of bolted connection shifts from friction resistance to bearing resistance when bolts collide with slotted holes, and the friction slippage behavior with slotted holes benefits the hysteresis behavior, deformation capacity, and rotation behavior. The proposed calculation methods for the mechanical behavior of ERJ‐SBC could achieve good accuracy with simulation results. A reasonably well‐designed ERJ‐SBC could have good bearing capacity and rotation behavior, and it could also achieve damage control.
期刊介绍:
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor''s policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.
The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.
However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.
