The H-shaped steel beam is popular due to its ease of manufacturing and connection to the column. This profile, which is used as a shallow beam, needs the high weak-axis bending stiffness and torsional stiffness to meet the overall stability. Achieving the local beam flange stability, bearing capacity, bending stiffness, and torsional requirements need a great thickness and width of the beam flange, which causes, which will cause more uneconomical structural design. So, the box-section beam is the ideal alternative. However, the current design specifications do not have design rules for the bolt-and-welded connection of the box-section beam and box-section column. The paper proposes a novel bolt-and-welded connection of the box-section beams and box-section columns based on a high-rise structural design scheme. Three connection models, BASE, WBF, and RBS, are analyzed under cyclic loading in ABAQUS software. The failure modes, hysteresis response, bearing capacity, ductility, plastic rotation angle, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation of all models are determined and compared. Compared with the other two models, the model WBF exhibited excellent seismic performance, ductility, and plastic rotation ability. Finally, model WBF was chosen as the connection scheme used in the project design.

A kind of accordion-web RBS connection, "Tubular Web RBS (TW-RBS)" connection is proposed in this research. TW-RBS is made by replacing a part of web with a tube at the desirable location of the beam plastic hinge. This paper presents first a numerical study under cyclic load using ABAQUS finite element software. A test specimen is used for calibration and comparison of numerical results. Obtained results indicated that TW-RBS would reduce contribution of the beam web to the whole moment strength and creates a ductile fuse far from components of the beam-to-column connection. Besides, TW-RBS connection can increase story drift capacity up to 9% in the case of shallow beams which is much more than those stipulated by the current seismic codes. Furthermore, the tubular web like corrugated sheet can improve both the out-of-plane stiffness of the beam longitudinal axis and the flange stability condition due to the smaller width to thickness ratio of the beam flange in the plastic hinge region. Thus, the tubular web in the plastic hinge region improves lateral-torsional buckling stability of the beam as just local buckling of the beam flange at the center of the reduced section was observed during the tests. Also change of direction of strain in arc shape of the tubular web section is smaller than the accordion webs with sharp corners therefore the tubular web provides a better condition in terms of low-cycle fatigue than other accordion web with sharp corners.

In previous weak-axis moment connection tests, brittle fracture always initiated near the edge of the beam flange groove weld due to force flow towards the stiffer column flanges, which is the opposite pattern as strong-axis moment connections. As part of the China NSFC (51278061) study, this paper tested two full-scale novel weak-axis reduced beam section moment connections, including one exterior frame connection specimen SJ-1 under beam end monotonic loading and one interior frame joint specimen SJ-2 under column top cyclic loading. Test results showed that these two specimens were able to satisfy the demands of FEMA-267 (1995) or ANSI/AISC 341-10 (2010) without experiencing brittle fracture. A parametric analysis using the finite element software ABAQUS was carried out to better understand the cyclic performance of the novel weak-axis reduced beam section moment connections, and the influence of the distance between skin plate and reduced beam section, a, the length of the reduced beam section, b, and the cutting depth of the reduced beam section, c, on the cyclic performance was analyzed. It was found that increasing three parametric values reasonably is beneficial to forming beam plastic hinges, and increasing the parameter a is conducive to reducing stress concentration of beam flange groove welds while increasing the parameters b and c can only reduce the peak stress of beam flange groove welds. The rules recommended by FEMA350 (2000) are suitable for designing the proposed weak-axis RBS moment connection, and a proven calculation formulation is given to determine the thickness of skin plate, the key components in the proposed weak-axis connections. Based on the experimental and numerical results, a design procedure for the proposed weak-axis RBS moment connections was developed.

본 연구의 목적은 CFT각형기둥과의 접합에 성능이 개선된 합성 반강접 접합디테일을 제안하고 기둥-보 접합부의 단조가력시 역학적 거동을 보기 위함이다. 극한 거동에 결정적 영향을 끼치는 하부 접합부의 전단내력을 보강하고 시공성을 고려하여 합성 반강접 접합을 CFT구조 형식에 시도하여 CFT기둥-보 접합부의 접합디테일을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 하부 보 플랜지 용접접합(M-2)을 기존 합성 반강접 접합상세인 시트앵글접합(M-1)과 비교/검토하였다. 두 개의 실대형 CFT기둥-보 합성 반강접 접합부 실험체에 대한 단조가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 제안형인 하부 보플랜지 용접접합된 실험체는 강접합된 철골보의 약 85%의 강성을 확보하였다. 이는 기존형 실험체와 거의 동일하였으며, 반강접으로 분류됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안형 실험체가 웨브 접합부에서 볼트지압에 의한 전단파괴가 발생하였으나 파단 직전까지는 슬래브 연성파괴가 일어난 기존형 실험체와 유사한 거동을 보였다. 슬래브 보강근에 의해 충분한 강성 및 내력이 확보되며, 웨브부분의 강관내의 앵커보강에 의해 전소성모멘트에 상응하는 내력 및 변형성능이 확보되어 충분한 연성거동을 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트피복 원형충전강관 기둥을 적용한 합성구조 접합부의 거동특성과 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여, 기둥-플랜지 접합부에 대한 인장실험과 보-기둥 접합부에 대한 반복하중 실험을 수행하였다. 기둥-플랜지 인장실험은 피복콘크리트의 유무와 플랜지 폭, 인장철근 보강을 변수로 하여 5개의 실험체에 대하여 하중재하능력과 파괴모드를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 접합부에서의 플랜지 단부 폭을 200mm에서 350mm로 증가시킬 경우 연결부의 강도 및 강성이 각각 1.61배와 1.56배가 증가했고, 인장철근을 보강할 경우 추가적으로 강성과 강도가 각각 1.35배와 1.92배 증가했다. 접합부 반복하중 실험에서는 접합 상세를 변수로 3개의 외부접합부 실험체를 구성했다. 접합부 보강상세로는 인장철근 보강과 강관의 두께, 수직강판 보강을 고려하였다. 모든 접합부 실험체는 보에서 뚜렷한 휨항복이 발생하였으며 접합부의 손상은 제한적이었다. 특히, 강재보가 강관에 직접 용접되는 경우 보의 웨브를 통해서도 하중이 전달되기 때문에, 플랜지 인장실험 결과보다 보수적인 설계가 가능하며, 접합부 강관 두께를 증가시키거나 수직강판으로 보강한 경우에는 추가적으로 패널존의 전단내력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Testing of steel roof purlins is usually performed on full scale models in large vacuum test rigs. To undertake a comparison between web cleat connected purlins and flange bolted purlins a series of tests were performed on a 1:4 small scale model vacuum test rig. Various modelling issues need to be addressed to ensure reasonable comparison with actual constructed roof framing methods but still be suitable for an economical comparison between the connection methods. Model test results were supported by, and found to be in reasonable agreement with, deflection predictions from computer models based on finite element methods. This paper discusses the testing methods adopted and the value of small scale model testing programs as a means of obtaining comparisons between framing options.

Generally the required strength and stiffness of an I-shaped beam to the box-shaped column connection is achieved if continuity plates are welded to the column flanges from all sides. However, welding the forth edge of a continuity plate to the column flange may not be easily done and is normally accompanied by remarkable difficulties. This study was aimed to propose an alternative for box columns with continuity plates to diminish such problems. For this purpose a double-web I-shaped column was proposed. In this case the strength and rotational stiffness of the connection was provided by nearing the column webs to each other. Finite element studies on about 120 beam-column connections showed that the optimum proportion of the distance between two column webs and the width of the column flange (parameter ${\beta}$) was a function of the ratio of the beam flange width to the column flange width (parameter ${\alpha}$). Hence, based on the finite element results, an equation was proposed to estimate the optimum value of parameter ${\beta}$ in terms of parameter ${\alpha}$ to achieve the highest connection performance. Results also showed that the strength and ductility of post-Northridge connections of such columns are in average 12.5 % and 54% respectively higher than those of box-shaped columns with ordinary continuity plates. Therefore, a double-web I-shaped column of optimum arrangement might be a proper replacement for a box column with continuity plates when beams are rigidly attached to it.

When the vertical load-bearing members in high-rise structures fail locally, the beam-column joints play an important role in the redistribution of the internal forces. In this paper, a static laboratory test of three full-scale flush flange beam-reinforced connections with side and cover plates (CP-FBSP connection) with double half-span steel beams and single L-shaped columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (L-CFST columns) was conducted. The influence of the side plate width and cover plate thickness on the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure was thoroughly analyzed. The failure mode, vertical force-displacement curves, strain variation, reaction force of the pin support and development of internal force in the section with the assumed plastic hinge were discussed. Then, through the verified finite element model, the corresponding analyses of the thickness and length of the side plates, the connecting length between the steel beam flange and cover plate, and the vertical-force eccentricity were carried out. The results show that the failure of all the specimens occurred through the cracking of the beam flange or the cover plate, and the beam chord rotations measured by the test were all greater than 0.085 rad. Increasing the length, thickness and width of the side plates slightly reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructures. The vertical-force eccentricity along the beam length reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure. An increase in the connecting length between the beam flange and cover plate can significantly improve the progressive collapse resistance of substructures.
