Experimental Study on Aseismatic Property of a Two-Bay Two-Story Lightweight Steel Frame

Abstract:

Through low–cycle repetitive loading experiment of a two-bay two-story lightweight steel frame, the paper studies pseudo dynamic test study of lighweight steel frame using column web post-buckling strength. It studies failure pattern, hysteresis property, energy mechanism, energy dissipation and rigidity degeneration of lighweight steel frame under seismic load. The results show lighweight steel frame have good aseismatic property and good energy dissipation at node domain.
