Abstract:Research on the seismic performance of weakened steel beam-column "upper welded and lower bolted" joints with lower flange plate connection plates, providing reference for the design and engineering application of shortened cantilever beam steel beam-column joints. Using the finite element software ABAQUS, based on the consistency between numerical simulation and experimental results, the effects of the weakened length of the lower flange plate connection plate and the cross-sectional shape of the frame beam on the seismic performance of the upper welded and lower bolted steel beam column joints were analyzed. If the weakening length of the lower flange plate connecting plate is too short, it cannot play the role of plastic hinge outward movement. If the weakening length of the lower flange plate connecting plate is too long, it will lead to serious out of plane buckling. The seismic performance of the beam full section weakening group is better than that of the half section weakening group and the unchanged group. Reasonably arranging the length of the weakened area of the lower flange plate connection plate and the cross-sectional shape of the frame beam can effectively improve the seismic performance of the "welded up and bolted down" steel beam column joints.
