Effect of Beam-Column Connection Types on the Response Modification Factors of Steel Frames
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8332-7874
A key component of steel structural design is the careful selection of structural modeling joints in steel structures, as the behavior of the joints affects the structure's strength and displacement characteristics. According to the capacity for transferring moment, connections in the analysis of frames are categorized as rigid, semi-rigid, or pinned. Also, the response modification factor (R-factor) is an effective parameter used in the seismic design of structures. However, the influence of the beam-column connection's stiffness factor on the response modification factor did not seem to have been considered in seismic design codes. Consequently, the R-factor under static pushover and dynamic loading is being studied for moment-resisting steel frames (MRSFs) with 3-, 6-, and 12-story using three different forms of beam-column connections depending on the connections' stiffness (m). The rigidities of the connections are taken 20, 10, and 5 for rigid, stiff semi-rigid, and flexible semi-rigid connections, respectively. The MRSFs are subjected to ten records with varying frequency contents and ground motion durations. The ductility reduction factor (Rμ), the over-strength reduction factor (Ro), and the R-factor were determined. The results indicated that the beam-column connection rigidity factors affected the R0, Rμ, and R-factors. Also, the R-factors were more affected by the rigidity factors for the beam-column connections and the number of story frames.
