Parameter Analysis for the Beam-to-Column Minor Axis Connections of Steel Frames

Article Preview

Abstract:

Base on the traditional assumption, beam-to-column minor axis connections are usually considered either as perfectly rigid or as nominally pinned. In fact, many researches show that beam-to-column minor axis connections are often semi-rigid, and their performance greatly effects the internal force, displacement, and ultimate bearing capacity of the steel frames, which cannot be neglected. Welded joint, one type of beam-to-column minor axis connections, which is widely used in the engineering practice is researched. The finite element method was used to analysis the relationship between the parameter variation and the rotational initial stiffness of the connections. The results can be used as a reference to the designs of steel frames.
