Hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of dual-steel welded-plate preloaded bolted T-stubs

Abstract With the high- and ultrahigh-strength steels applied in the construction industry, the seismic safety of their structural components is very concerned due to the inferior material ductility of those steels. The current studies on bolted high-strength steel T-stubs mainly focus on their monotonic loading behavior. There is limited research work conducted to study their cyclic loading behavior. In this study, cyclic tests of bolted dual-steel T-stubs were conducted. Their T-elements were produced by Q690 high-strength steel flanges and Q355 normal-strength steel webs, and class 10.9 high-strength bolts with pretension were used to connect the groove-welded T-elements. Failure modes, force-deformation hysteretic and backbone curves, cumulative plastic deformation and energy dissipation capacities were tested and analyzed. The test results indicated that an optimal ratio between the plastic resistances of Mode 1 (neglecting the influence of bolt action on a finite contact area) and Mode 3 in Eurocode 3 Part 1–8, could be 0.3 for those bolted T-stubs to maximize hysteretic energy dissipation. Accordingly, predictive formulas with good precision were proposed for the low-cycle fatigue failure criterion and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of those bolted T-stubs, respectively.
Highlights Cyclic testing on dual-steel welded-plate bolted T-stubs were conducted. The T-stubs developed the maximum energy dissipation under the ratio of 0.3. Eurocode 3 Part 1–8 applies to design of the plastic resistance. Equations for low-cycle fatigue and cumulative energy dissipation were fitted.
