Behavior and Design Recommendations of Splice Connection in Weak-Axis Column-Tree Steel Moment Frames

Abstract:

The main objectives of this paper was to investigate the cyclic performance of splice connection in weak-axis column-tree connections with the formation of plastic hinge assumed at splice connection and provide some design recommendations. By reducing the cross-sectional area of the splice plates, the splice connection in this test are designed as a weaken component to utilize the ductility capacity and energy dissipation. The results showed that it could develop the plastic rotation capacity in the beam splice connection and portion in the link beam but not increase the energy dissipation capacity during the same story drift ratio.
