Abstract

A finite element method was developed to investigate the semi-rigid connection mechanical behaviors in the process of CFST structures progressive collapse, and different semi-rigid connection joint stiffness were taken into consideration and compared to rigid connection. Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis were carried out with alternate path method. The numerical result shows that the increase of joint stiffness would evidently enhance the structural progressive collapse resistance performance, and CFST structures have excellent characteristic to prevent progressive collapse, the great deformation capacity and energy dissipation ability of semi-rigid connections are advantageous to progressive collapse resistance.
