Seismic behavior of drilled beam section in moment connections
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract: Reduced Beam Section (RBS) and Drilled Beam Section (DBS) are seismic moment resistant frame connections, introduced after 1994 Northridge earthquake. RBS connection has been tested under cyclic loading and showed acceptable performance. In this paper, seismic behavior of Drilled Beam Section (DBS) connection is studied numerically using finite element method. A drilled beam section of a cantilever H-beam has been subjected to cyclic loading at its free end and studied for its optimal shapes. 62 samples of DBS connections have been modeled and studied under cyclic and pushover loadings. Based on the results obtained in this research, the connection shows its positive seismic behavior if the biggest hole is near the column face and its diameter decreases as the holes move away from the column face. In this research the effects of dimensions, position and number of holes are investigated using Von Mises stress and elastic strain criteria under cyclic and monotonic loadings. In this drilled beam the smaller holes shift plastic hinges out of the connection zone.

The widespread brittle failure of welded beam-to-column connections caused by the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes highlighted the need for retrofitting measures effective in reducing the strength demand imposed on connections under cyclic loading. Researchers presented the reduced beam section (RBS) as a viable option to create a weak zone away from the connection, aiding the preventi...

After Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquakes, several studies have been conducted to improve the seismic performance of steel structures. In this investigation, new steel moment-resisting connections (FSFN) developed by the authors, were studied by the non-linear numerical analysis. These connections were single-sided beam-to-column assemblies that are representative of exterior beam-to-...

This study derives kinematic admissible bending moment – axial force (M-P) interaction relations for mild steel by considering elastic-plastic idealizations. The interaction relations can predict strains, which is not possible in a rigid perfectly plastic idealization. The relations are obtained for all possible cases pertaining to the locations of neutral axis. One commercial rolled steel T-se...
