The Experimental Research and Contrastive Analysis on the Attachments of Semi-Rigid Nodes in the Beam-Column T-Typed Member and End Plate of Steel Frame

Abstract:

Based on the connection tests of the semi-rigid nodes in the beam-column T-typed member and end plate of steel frame, this paper analyzes the failure phenomena, stiffness, bearing capacity and flexibility of two types of attachments. And according to the tests results, it compares the two types of attachments each other and proposes that T-typed member is a better type of attachment on its bearing capacity and flexibility. Therefore, it provides the experimental basis for the ideal design and application of attachments among the semi-rigid nodes in steel structures.
