    The seismic performance of post-tensioned steel connections for moment-resisting frames was examined experimentally and analytically. Cyclic tests were conducted on three full-scale subassemblies, which had two steel beams post-tensioned to a concrete-filled tube (CFT) column with high-strength strands to provide recentring response. Reduced flange plates (RFPs) welded to the column and bolted to the beam flange were used to increase the dissipation of energy. Test results indicated that (1) the proposed buckling-restrained RFP could dissipate energy in axial tension and compression, (2) the subassemblies could reach an interstorey drift of 4% without strength degradation, and (3) buckling of the beam occurred towards an interstorey drift of 5%, causing a loss of the strand force, the recentring response, and the moment capacity. A general-purpose non-linear finite element analysis program (ABAQUS) was used to perform a correlation study. The behaviour of the steel beam under both post-tensioning and flexural loadings was compared to the test results and predictions. Copyright (C) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    This study details a new moment connection that overcomes difficulties in achieving field-weld quality and eliminates steel beam buckling encountered in steel moment connections. This study presents cyclic test and finite element analysis results of full-scale subassemblies using steel reduced flange plates (RFPs) to connect steel beam flanges and the column without any other direct connection. Since the RFP connection is designed as strong column-strong beam-weak RFPs, the RFP functions as a structural fuse that eliminates weld fractures and beam buckling. Test and analytical results show that (1) the connections transferred the entire beam flexural strength to the column and reached an interstorey drift of 4% with minor strength degradation, (2) failure of the connections was owing to buckling or fracturing of the RFP and not of the beam, and (3) the RFP connection subassembly, modelled using the nonlinear finite element computer program ABAQUS, exhibited hysteretic behaviour similar to that of the flange plate (FP) moment connection subassembly. The inelastic buckling force of the RFP was also evaluated by nonlinear regression analyses performed on a nonlinear model that relates buckling force to RFP geometries.

    Moment connections in all existing steel building located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan were rehabilitated to satisfy seismic requirements based oil the 2005 AISC seismic provisions. Construction of the building was ceased in 1996 due to financial difficulties and was recommenced in 2007 with enhanced connection performance. Steel moment connections in the existing building were Constructed by groove welding the beam flanges and boiling the beam web to the column. Four moment connections, two from the existing steel building were cyclically tested. A non-rehabilitated moment connection with bolted web-welded flanges was tested as a benchmark. Three moment connections rehabilitated by welding full-depth side plates between file column Face and beam flange inner side were tested to validate the rehabilitation performance. Test results revealed that (1) the non-rehabilitated existing moment connection made by in situ welding process prior to 1996 had similar deformation capacity its contemporary connection specimens made by laboratory welding process, (2) all rehabilitated moment connections exhibited excellent performance, exceeding a 4% drift Without fractures of beam flange groove-welded joints, and (3) presence of file full-depth side plates effectively reduced beam flange tensile strain near the column face by almost half compared With the non-rehabilitated moment connection. The connection specimens were also modeled Using the non-linear finite element computer program ABAQUS 10 further confirm the effectiveness of the side plate in transferring beam moments to the column and to investigate potential Sources of connection failure. A design procedure was made based oil experimental and analytical Studies. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
