Abstract

To study the influence of geometric parameters on flexural capacity and stiffness of beam-column connections using stain-steel S31608 and get the key influence parameters, on the basis of test data, using the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, parameter analysis on three main geometrical parameters of flexural capacity and stiffness of stain-steel beam-column connections was conducted. The analysis results show that when flange thickness of I-shaped bars increases, bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the joints increase with large amplitude; when slipping coefficient increases, bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the joints increase with small amplitude; when weld ac-cess hole changes, bearing capacity increases and initial stiffness increase with small amplitude, but can decrease stress concentrate phenomenon; when “Dog-bone” is used, the position of plastic hinge appearance will out-shift, but bearing capacity and initial stiffness decrease with large amplitude. Using the weld access hole of FEME350 and increasing the flange thickness of I-shaped bars is a good way to improve the static behavior of stain-steel beam-column connections.
