Structural connection with predetermined discrete variable friction forces
This paper presents a simple and practical structural connection able to develop predetermined discrete variable friction forces at target design displacement levels. The innovative connection is termed Modified Friction Device (Modified FD). Modified FDs are used to transfer the seismic induced horizontal forces from the floors to the core wall seismic force-resisting system of a building. The schematics of the physical embodiment of the Modified FD are presented. The components and the assembly of the Modified FD are discussed. The mechanics of the Modified FD are explained. Results from static structural analyses of two types of finite element models of the Modified FD are presented. The first model is developed using solid finite elements and it is used to assess the expected kinematics and the expected force-displacement response of the Modified FD. The second model is developed using a truss finite element and it can be used to efficiently simulate the force-displacement response of the Modified FD in numerical earthquake simulations of structural systems. The force-displacement response of the Modified FD computed using a numerical earthquake simulation of an eighteen-story reinforced concrete core wall building model is presented. The seismic response of the building model with Modified FDs is compared with the seismic response of the building model with monolithic connections and the seismic response of the building model with friction devices with constant friction forces. The results presented in this paper show that it is possible to develop a simple and practical structural connection with predetermined discrete variable force-displacement response to limit the seismic induced horizontal forces transferred between the floors of the flexible gravity load resisting system and the core wall piers in high-performance earthquake resilient buildings.
