Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Steel Frame with Reinforced Beam Ends

Article Preview

Abstract:

A single-span and two-story frame specimen with reinforced beam ends has been tested under low-frequency cyclic loading. Based on the test results, the failure patterns, hysteretic behaviors, energy dissipation and deformation ability were analyzed. The results showed that the failure mode of the test specimen was ductility. Plastic hinges appeared at the changing point of the beam cross section far away from the beam-column joint. Hysteretic curve of the frame was full and the whole ductility coefficient was enough higher than 4.4 under horizontal low-cyclic loading. It can be concluded that the energy dissipation and the deformation ability are both better. So the whole steel frame connected with reinforced beam ends has good seismic performance. And the requirements of anti-seismic ability can be satisfied.
