Analytical Evaluation of RBS Moment Connection for Indian Profiles Under Seismic Behavior

The effects of Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquake, intensive analysis testing efforts are currently being sought for higher ways designing seismic resistant steel connections. A connection with RBS (Reduced beam Section) is an acceptable solution to emphasizing a moment can be the most reliable type connection. Considering benefits lack information on resources in Indian standards, analytical study connections profiles performed. This elaborates understand beam-column connection’s overall performance characteristics during cyclic response. FEA carried out focus improving plastic deformation potential capacity strengthened by inclusion region beam. seven specimens which includes Specimen without RBS, Flange cut hole have been designed evaluated using Finite element ABAQUS program. findings this revealed that specimen exhibits low Seismic activity efficiency. While performed well, all instances, holes’ demonstrate good performance.
