Given their extensive application, it is crucial to understand the material characteristics of YSt 310 under extreme loading conditions for designing structures that can withstand dynamic, blast, and impact loads. This study focuses on the material characterization of YSt 310 steel through coupon tests conducted at various strain rates (from 3 × 10⁻⁴/s to ∼1400/s), temperatures (from 27 to 600 °C), and notch radii (2, 1.5, and 1 mm).

This paper presents a steel grid frame featuring the special interstorey beams that provides the same advantages as the ordinary steel frames, but with improved lateral stiffness and seismic performance. Accordingly, two comparative steel frames with the same steel consumption were constructed at a scale of 1:3, one of which consisted of the steel grid frame and the other of which was a standard steel frame. Two sets of frames were pseudo-statically tested under reversal load, their strain sequences and failure modes were investigated, and seismic indicators were compared including hysteresis curves, load-bearing capability, ductility coefficient, and energy dissipation. The experimental results indicate that the failure mode of the steel grid frame was mainly dominated by the interstorey beams. The interstorey beam is the primary component for energy dissipation and effectively realizes the seismic design concept of a strong column and a weak beam, thus achieving the goal of frame protection. The steel grid frame shows an increase of 3.54 % in the initial stiffness and an increase of 18.51 % in the ultimate load-bearing capacity compared to a standard steel frame. Its superior seismic performance is also demonstrated by an increase in the ductility coefficient from 30.5 % to 57.8 %. Consequently, the seismic performance of the weak-axis connected steel grid frame is superior to that of the strong-axis connected conventional steel frame, which is well-behaved in the numerical frame models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Constructional Steel Research","volume":"223 ","pages":"Article 109078"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the stated barriers, the current study proposes an efficient replaceable structural fuse between the infill panel and frame to enhance the seismic performance of the SPSWs. For this purpose, the grid stiffeners in conjunction with the metallic yielding dampers (MYDs) are employed to connect the infill plate to surrounding structural frames. To examine the seismic performance of the proposed structural model, the finite element models have been meticulously simulated under 16 different scenarios utilizing the ABAQUS engineering software. Then, the comprehensive pushover analyses besides the cyclic analyses are executed upon these models. The obtained results manifested that the proposed SPSW model not only improved the stress distribution across the infill plate but also ensured the maximum exploitation of its capacity. Furthermore, all structural models exhibited a resilience response in short seismic events, which led to the prevention of damage occurrence in structural and non-structural components of buildings. Remarkably, the structural models have resisted an increase in displacement equivalent to a drift of 5 %. Finally, compared with the conventional SPWSs, the proposed structural model illustrated a higher effective damping of 30 % and stiffness of 12 %, simultaneously.
