Buckling Analysis of Sway Steel Frames with Semi-Rigid Connections

Article Preview

Abstract:

The modified factor formulas, which are applicable to sway steel frames, are derived by considering joint relative rotational stiffness and adopting the modified stiffness factor. The finite element models of steel frames with semi-rigid and rigid connections are established using ANSYS program. Nonlinear finite element analysis of steel frames with two web and top-seat angles steel semi-rigid connections is conducted. Through bulking analysis of sway steel frames with semi-rigid connections, the effective length factor of sway steel frames is derived, which considers nonlinear rotation of two web and top-seat angles steel semi-rigid connections.
