Multi-scale elastoplastic dynamic analysis of steel frame welded connections under strong earthquake excitation

摘要

Multi-scale elastoplastic dynamic analysis of the welded connections is conducted under the strong earthquake excitation based on a steel frame engineering case. Two types of multi-scale model are built for the contrastive analysis, and the plastic deformation of the connection section is extracted to investigate the application of the plane-section assumption. The results indicate that elastic-plastic status makes the column and beam sections not meet the flat section assumption. Finally, the determination method of the refined modeling zone is studied based on the application of the plane-section assumption.
