A Study on the Ductility of Bolted Beam - Column Connections
نویسندگان
چکیده
The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web angle with top and seat angles is discussed based on experimental investigation. Non-linear analysis was also performed using finite element method to compare the results. The study revealed that ductile behaviour of beam-column connection is improved by increasing the number of bolts on the top and seat angles and the thickness of top and seat angles. The analytical results are in agreement with the experimental results.
