Component Modeling of Steel Bolted End-Plate Joints under Bending and Shearing Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the component method of EuroCode3, a new component model to evaluate rotational properties of extended end-plate beam-to-column joints under shearing and bending loads has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the T-stub model was set up. And then the end-plate beam-to-column joint was simplified with a set of T-stubs. Finally the end-plate beam-to-column joint was simulated by the proposed component model consists of a series of levers and equivalent springs. With the purpose of verifying and calibrating the proposed model, an experiment of extended end-plate joint is recommended and a corresponding finite element model has also been set up. Results of experiment, FEM and component model fit well each other. The method of this paper can describe the rotational property of end-plate joint under beading moment and shear with enough precision, which can be a useful improvement to conventional design codes.

The semi-rigid behave of joint can be described by moment-rotation curve of the joint, which has been adopted as a basic conception by many researchers[6] A. Daniūnas and K.
