Abstract

3 extended-end-plate joints of T-shaped concrete-filled rectangular composite tubular column with H-shaped beam were designed. The experimental research and ANSYS nonlinear finite element analysis on the earthquake resistance behaviors of the joints were conducted under low cyclic loading. The results indicate that the shapes of hysteresis curve of each specimen is full and presents spindle, all the specimens possess good energy dissipation capacity. The end-plate thickness and high-strength bolt diameter have a great influence on the bearing capacity of the joints. Increasing the thickness of end-plate and the diameter of high-strength bolt, the displacement ductility factors of the joints decrease slightly, but their ultimate bearing capacities obviously enhance. The stress distributions and the finite element failure characteristics of the joints are basically consistent with the test phenomena, yield bearing capacity and ultimate bearing capacity of the finite element calculations can agree well with the experimental results.
