Reliability of Flexibly-Connected Steel Frames in Sway
Abstract An investigation of the influence of connection stiffness on the reliability of flexibly-connected steel frames in sway is carried out. The emphasis is on consideration of connection behavior and variability. Currently available reliability methods neglect these effects. First-order, second-moment probabilistic theory is used in computing the frame reliability index. The results of analysis for a typical portal structure demonstrate that the inclusion of connection stiffness in linearly-elastic steel frame reliability analysis is conceptually and computationally simple. It is demonstrated that the frame reliability may be strongly affected by connection stiffness. The effects of beam-to-column stiffness ratio and beam-to-connection stiffness ratio on frame reliability are also investigated.
