Response of steel beam-to-column bolted connections to blast loading
In this research, response of steel beam-to-column bolted connections to blast loading is investigated. Nonlinear analyses of the connections are performed using the finite element software ABAQUS. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the finite element modelling, an experimental test of a steel beam-to-column bolted connection is modelled. Comparison of the obtained result from the modelling with that of the corresponding experimental test verifies the modelling. Then, a 5-storey steel building is designed using ETABS software from which a beam-to-column connection of the ground floor is selected for the nonlinear analysis in ABAQUS. Thereafter, the components of the selected connection are designed. Finally, the connection is nonlinearly analysed considering parameters as the distance from the blast centre (2.5 m, 5 m, and 10 m) and blast power (500 kg, 1000 kg, and 2000 kg TNT equivalent mass of explosive). Effects of these parameters on the response of the connection are evaluated. Failure modes of the connections are assessed, too.
