Numerical investigation on seismic resilient steel beam-to-column connections with replaceable buckling-restrained fuses
Abstract The detailed finite element model (FEM) of a new replaceable fuse steel beam-to-column joint proposed previously, where bolted steel plates located between the beam and C-shaped shear tab flanges in the beam splicing region behave as structural fuses to dissipate energy with their buckling controlled by the surrounding flanges, was developed in this paper and subjected to cyclic loading at the beam end. The simulated results matched the test results well in terms of the hysteresis curves (and the corresponding backbone curves) and failure modes. Based on the validated FEM, subsequent parametric studies were carried out to investigate the influences of the fuse plate type and slenderness ratio, and the slip coefficient between the steel plates, on seismic performance of this joint. The parametric analysis indicated that, the joint could accommodate an ultimate story drift angle of 6% without damaging the beam or shear tab flanges by using flat-type (FP) fuse plates, which are recommended over slotted-type (SP) and double-slotted-type (DSP) fuse plates, as the latter both types developed earlier buckling than the former FP-type. Eccentric-type (EP) fuse plates are also suggested, with which the joint equipped sustained an ultimate story drift angle of at least 8%. In addition, the slenderness ratio of FP-type fuse plates is recommended to be controlled within 44 since the fuse plates with higher slenderness ratios introduced damage through buckling to the shear tab flanges at an earlier stage, while the slip coefficient presented no significant impact on the joint seismic performance.
Highlights Numerical simulation matched the experimental hysteresis curves and failure modes. The joint with flat-type fuses exhibited an ultimate story drift angle of 6%. The joint with eccentric-type fuses sustained a story drift angle of at least 8%. The flat-type fuses are preferred over slotted-type and double-slotted-type fuses. The flat-type fuse slenderness ratio is suggested to be controlled within 44.
