Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a calculation method of ultimate moment resistance and moment-rotation curve for steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connections with bidirectional bolts, which is suitable for the semi-rigid design of such connections. It belongs to the field of design for steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connections with bidirectional bolts.

BACKGROUND

The steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connection with bidirectional bolts, is a new type of connection which connects the concrete-filled steel tube column and the steel beam by using bidirectional bolts and the endplate or T-stub. The concrete-filled steel tube column is a kind of component with high compression bearing capacity, good plasticity, and good local stability; the bolted connection is easy to construct and it has good ductility. Therefore, the steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connection with bidirectional bolts combines advantages of both the column and the connection. Existing experimental researches indicate that such connections have advantages of high bending capacity, large initial rotational stiffness, good ductility, simple construction, reliable construction quality, etc. The connection has good application prospect in the practical engineering, especially in high-seismic areas.

The design method of the new type of connection is required as the support in the practical engineering. It is generally assumed that the connection is rigid or hinged in its design, however, most connections are semi-rigid; which leads to an unsafe bias in design calculation based on the assumed rigid connection, while it leads to a conservative bias in design calculation based on the assumed hinged connection. Furthermore, clause 5.1.4 of Code for Design of Steel Structures (Chinese design standard GB50017-2017) stipulates that the effect of change in the angle between intersecting members should be considered in the semi-rigid connection of the beam and the column; the moment-rotation curve of the connection must be determined in the internal force analysis, and the behavior of the connection should be in accord with the moment-rotation curve. Therefore, it is necessary to study the initial rotational stiffness, ultimate moment resistance and moment-rotation curve of the connection. At present, many researches has been conducted on semi-rigid bolted connections of the steel structure, and calculation methods of initial rotational stiffness, ultimate moment resistance and moment-rotation curve have been established for the steel structure; in which moment-rotation curve models of the bolted connection include: linear model, multi-linear model, polynomial model, exponential function model, power function model, inverse trigonometric function model, etc. However, these calculation methods and moment-rotation models are originally developed for connections of the steel structure, which cannot be directly applied to steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connections with bidirectional bolts. In addition, a lot of test data are required to fit the moment-rotation model for the bolted connection of the steel structure in the past, and the accuracy of the model is required to be further improved. For the steel beam to concrete-filled steel tube column connection with bidirectional bolts, it is time-consuming, laborious and costly to determine the moment-rotation curve by experiments. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a theoretical calculation method for the ultimate moment resistance and a practical moment-rotation curve model for the connection; which can avoid a lot of tests to obtain key parameters in the semi-rigid design, and it greatly saves time and cost.

• • 2) The ultimate moment resistance of the connection for failure of bidirectional bolts in tension can be calculated by Eq. (8):M_bo=n_t·min(0.9f_ubA_s,0.48πd_mt_epf_up)·(h_b−t_bf)=146.9 kN·m
  • 3) Calculate the ultimate moment resistance of the connection for failure of panel zone in shear:

The reduction factor to allow for the effect of longitudinal compression of the concrete-filled steel tube column on resistance in shear, i.e. v, can be calculated by Eq. (12):

$v=0.55\left(1+\frac{2N}{N_u}\right)=0.99$

The angle α in the panel zone can be calculated by Eq. (13):α=arctan[(w_c−2t_cf)/z]=33.02°

The ultimate moment resistance of the connection for failure of panel zone in shear, i.e. M_pz, can be calculated by Eq. (10):

$M_{pz}=\left(\frac{1.8f_{y,\mathrm{cw}}{A}_{vc}}{\sqrt{3}}+0.85\nu A_c{f}_{cd}\sin \alpha \right)·\left(h_b-t_{\mathrm{bf}}\right)=385.17\mathrm{KN}·m$

• • 4) Calculate the ultimate moment resistance of the connection for failure of column in transverse compression:

The actual failure mode of the connection is the failure mode when the ultimate moment resistance equals to 118.82 kN·m in step 1), i.e. yielding of the endplate.

• • 7) Calculate the moment-rotation curve of the connection:

According to an existing reference, the initial rotational stiffness of the connection is 33405 kN·m/rad, and then the moment-rotation curve can be obtained by substituting the ultimate moment resistance and initial rotational stiffness into Eq. (24):M=118.82·(1−e^−281.14θ)
