Collapse Behavior

Local failure of one or more components due to abnormal loading can induce the progressive collapse of a building structure. In this study, by the aid of available full-scale test results on double-span systems subjected to the middle column loss scenario, an extensive parametric study was performed to investigate the effects of different design parameters on progressive collapse performance of beam-to-column connections, i.e., beam span-to-depth ratio, catenary mechanism, and connection robustness. The selected full-scale double-span assemblies consisted of fully rigid (welded flange-welded web, SidePlate), semi-rigid (flush end-plate, extended end-plate), and flexible connections (top and seat angle, web cleat). The test results, including load-deformation responses, development of the catenary mechanism, and connection robustness, are presented in detail. The finding of this research further enables a comprehensive comparison between different types of steel beam-to-column connections since the effects of span-to-depth ratio and beam sections were filtered out.

Column Removal Scenario

An experimental test was carried out on a 3/10 scale subassemblage in order to investigate the progressive collapse behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Investigation of alternative load paths and resistance mechanisms in scaled subassemblage and differences between the results of full-scale and scaled specimens are the main goals of this research. Main characteristics of specimen response including load-displacement curve, mechanism of formation and development of cracks, and failure mode of the scaled specimen had good agreement with the full-scale specimen. In order to provide a reliable numerical model for progressive collapse analysis of RC beam-column subassemblages, a macromodel was also developed. First, numerical model was validated with experimental tests in the literature. Then, experimental results in this study were compared with validated numerical results. It is shown that the proposed macromodel can provide a precise estimation of collapse behavior of RC subassemblages under the middle column removal scenario. In addition, for further evaluation, using the validated numerical model, parametric study of new subassemblages with different details, geometric and boundary conditions, was also done.

Pushdown Analysis

To investigate the progressive collapse behavior of Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) column-steel beam hybrid frame after the failure of key structural elements, a PQ-Fiber model for an 8-storey structure is established in ABAQUS program. Nonlinear dynamic and static pushdown analysis are carried out after the failure and removal of the bottom-middle and bottom-corner columns. Numerical results of both methods agree well with each other. Results show that SRC column-steel frame has good resistance to progressive collapse under dynamic instantaneous load. After sudden removal of a bottom middle column, the development of structural collapse exhibits two mechanisms, the beam mechanism and the catenary mechanism. When the structure is within small deformation range, the collapse resistance of the residual frame is provided by the beam bending moment capacity, which is beam mechanism. For large deformation situation, the collapse resistance is mainly provided by the beam tensile strength, which is catenary mechanism. However, with the removal of a bottom corner column, the residual structure only undergoes the beam mechanism even for large deformations. For future practical applications, the influence of the steel ratio, steel section size, and the vertical position of the removed key components are investigated through a detailed parametric study.

The Relationship

In traditional semi-rigid analysis of extended end plate connections is assumed to be deterministic parameters, most of moment-rotation models of the joint is determined by curve-fitting and statistically regressed with the test data. Those parameters of the models have little physical meanings and the effect of correlations between parameters is neglected. This paper deals with a semi-rigid joint of extended end plate connections based on correlation and sensitivity analysis. A numerical study was carried out and the finite element analysis was validated compared with the experimental results.The relative moment-rotation model was concluded based on correlations in parameters and probabilistic sentivity analysis. The relationship between height and width of steel beam was partial correlation, the relationship between thickness of steel beam flange and thickness of steel beam web was partial correlation. Height and width of steel beam, the distance of upper bolts to axle wire of steel beam were important sensitive parameters for the extended end plate connections.

Introduction. One of the greatest accents in the steel structures researches is the optimization of the design model. It is possible to reduce the cost of steel structures, optimize moment distribution and dynamic characteristics of the frame using the finite secant stiffness, which can be obtained by the described in the paper numerical modeling method. There are a lot of perspectives for the engineer in the field of numerical modeling. Most of them are possible to implement in the design procedure nowadays, but it is important to develop methods and standards for numerical modeling, in order to obtain convenient tools and reliable results. In order to study this issue in more depth, the “moment - turn” curve was studied, maximum stress values were determined, and rigidity and strength characteristics were prepared for each type of joint for structural analysis. Materials and methods. In the program Ansys was modelling three types of steel joints: end-plate connections, double web-angle connections and top and seat angle connections. Results. For three types of joints was obtained ultimate moment, location of destruction and moment-rotation curve. For extended end-plate connections was comparison of the obtained curve with experimental data. Conclusions. Three types of steel joints were modeled in the paper. The numerical modeling results show good correlation with the experimental ones. The data about the behavior of the joints were extracted and analyzed. As result, “moment-angle of rotation” curves were obtained. Finite secant stiffness of the joints for considering steel structures was obtained in the analysis. The resulting finite secant stiffness can be used in the steel frames design procedure.

Tensegrity structures under certain conditions may be prone to snap-through buckling. The temporary loss of equilibrium due to snap-through normally results in a dynamic force being applied to each node associated with the snap-through. This paper presents a numerical study on the progressive collapse behavior of tensegrity structures due to the buckling of struts. Emphasis is given to the dynamic nature of the coupled member and nodal snap-through effects on the overall structural behavior. Member buckling is taken into consideration by carefully following the buckling load–displacement response of the member. It is assumed that the structure is subjected only to static gravitational load. Results of the present study allow one to assess the effects of various design parameters such as self-stress levels, effective-length factor of struts and damping characteristics on the propagation of snap-through buckling in these structures. The conclusions, drawn from this study, lead to the suggestion of some guidelines and recommendations for the design of such structures.

Arc Welding Process

An experimental investigation of 15 cyclically loaded extended end plate connections was undertaken to assess the significance of some design parameters. The parameters investigated were beam size, bolt layout, end plate thickness, use of extension stiffeners, welding process, and weld preparation. Eleven of the 15 full-scale test specimens were designed to confine failure to the end plate and four were designed to develop the plastic moment capacity of the beam. Of the beam sizes tested (W360×51, W460×97, and W610×125) the W460×97 beam connections provided the most ductility. The relaxed bolt configuration provided more energy dissipation and connection ductility. The use of extension stiffeners improved the ability of the end plates to dissipate energy and increased the connection rotation at yield. An increase in end plate thickness results in an increase in the connection flexural strength. No significant difference in behaviour was observed between the connections fabricated using the shielded metal arc welding process and those fabricated using the flux-cored arc welding process. Bolt bending and loss of preload were observed in all the test specimens. End plate thickness prediction equations proposed by various researchers were evaluated by comparing predicted plate thickness with plate thickness used for the test specimens. New prediction equations that use yield lines in close agreement with those observed in the test specimens are proposed. The proposed prediction equations are able to predict the thickness of the end plate to within 13%. The proposed prediction equations are applicable to stiffened and unstiffened end plate moment connections with various bolt layouts. Extended end plate moment connections showed good potential for use in seismic zones.Key words: cyclic loading, energy absorption, extended end plates, moment connections, steel, yield line.

Column Removal Scenario

The progressive collapse of buildings induces a variety of catastrophic consequences, such as casualties and property loss over the past few decades. The corner column is more prone to abnormal load events compared to the inner column and outer column; thus, it is easier to trigger progressive collapse. By considering the effects of floor slabs and adjacent bays on progressive collapse behavior, the pseudo-static loading method was used to study the progressive collapse test of a 1/3 scaled, one story, 2 × 2-bay cast-in-place reinforced concrete frame substructure under the removal condition of a corner column. The test results show that the flexural deformation principally concentrates upon the components of a directly affected part (DAP), and compressive arch actions are observed in members of the indirectly affected part (IAP). Moreover, the slab adjacent to the removed column and periphery elements contributes great resistance to a progressive collapse.
