Abstract

A finite element analysis of the beam-to-column web connection with H-shaped columns was performed using the ANSYS computer program. Based on the finite element analysis and theoretical analysis, a simplified model was developed to describe the cyclic loading behavior of beam-to-columns web connection in steel moment resisting frames, considering both bending and shear deformation modes of the beam flange plate. Several issues appearing to merit further researches were identified in the process of developing this model, such as the effect of beam flange plate on beam-to-column web connection stiffness and strength. A reasonable agreement was achieved between model predictions and finite element data, which verified the feasibility of the proposed model.
