Comparative Study of Steel Beam Column Connection under Cyclic Loading

Abstract:

A structure is an assembly of various elements or components which are fastened together through some type of connections. Steel beam column connection may fail due to large earth quake. Plastic hinge formation is the main failure of a steel beam column connection. There are two methods for improving the steel beam column connection (i) connection reinforcement/strengthening (ii) beam weakening by reducing the cross-sectional area of the beam at a certain distance from the connection. When reducing the cross section area plastic hinge is formed away from column face. The main objective of this study is to compare reduced beam section (RBS) and reduced web section (RWS) pattern and find out the location of plastic hinge. For steel beam column plastic hinge is located near column. When reducing the cross section area the location of plastic hinge will shift from the column. Aim of this project is to locate the position of plastic hinge apart from column face, and also evaluate the stress and deformation.
