Abstract
In order to study the hysteretic behavior and restoring force model of cold-formed thin-walled steel (CFTWS) lipped channel beam-column, a finite element analysis (FEA) model considering the material and geometric nonlinearity and the influence of the initial geometric imperfection under cyclic loading was established by ABAQUS software. Based on the verified FEA model, the hysteretic behavior of CFTWS lipped channel beam-column members with different influencing factors was analyzed by parameterization. The effects of width-to-thickness ratio, axial compression ratio and slenderness ratio on ductility, energy dissipation capacity and stiffness degradation were studied. Based on the results of parameter analysis and the theoretical and regression analysis, the calculation formula of each characteristic point of the trilinear skeleton curve of beam-column member was proposed. Based on the hysteresis curve analysis of beam-column member, the simplified restoring force model (SRFM) of CFTWS lipped channel beam-column was established according to different hysteresis rules for the different buckling modes. The results showed that the SRFM under different buckling modes was in good agreement with the hysteretic curve of FEA, which can better indicate the hysteretic behavior of the member. The proposed SRFM was accurate and applicable, and can provide a fundament for the seismic analysis of the CFTWS lipped channel beam-column.
