Advances in Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Double C Steel Joints with Gusset Plate

Abstract:

It requires higher seismic performance of buildings. Double C steel structures with gusset plate have better seismic performance than general concrete structures and steel structures, and few studies have looked at its bending joints. Through the experimental analyses on seismic performance of Double C steel joints with gusset plate, we get the conclusion that this type of joints have high bending capacity, stable strength degradation, obvious initial stiffness degradation, good energy dissipation and ductility, and look forward to the development and application prospect of this compound section.
