Strength and Plastic Rotation Capacity of I-Shaped Beams with Grid-Purlin System Subjected to Cyclic Loading
This paper introduces a grid-purlin system, which was composed of secondary rectangular-hollow-section grids welded onto the top flange of I-shaped beams of moment frames. The welded grid-purlin itself may play a role of a lateral bracing member for the welded beam. However, the ultimate strength, plastic rotation capacity, or other structural characteristics of this grid-purlin system remain poorly understood. This paper presents two full-scale cyclic loading tests on specimens with I-shaped beams 700 mm deep, 240 mm wide, and 13 m long. The diagonal length of grids in the square grid-purlin of the specimen was 1.3 m on-center, and two different depths of the sections were selected for the purlin sections. Both specimens successfully achieved fully plastic moments at a plastic rotation exceeding 0.04 rad. This shows that the grid-purlin system provides reliable lateral bracing. Continuum finite-element (CFE) analysis was performed to simulate the hysteretic experimental response of the grid-purlin system. This CFE model was used to examine the plastic rotation capacity for a variety of combinations of I-shaped beams and grid-purlins.
