The paper aims to analyze the elasticity-plasticity of a flat steel frame structure with a beam-column connection that is a semi-rigid connection; three-spring semi-rigid link models (two linear displacement springs and one rotating displacement spring); It includes hard areas at the beam-column position, with an ideal flexible-plastic material model. Based on that, it developed algorithms by PTHH method using step-by-step applying load method and programmed to determine displacement-internal force when make semi-rigid nonlinear connection in MATLAB programming language; consider the melting conditions of the section, including the influence of moments, vertical force and shear force. Make a numerical illustration with a two stage-one span steel frame

An finite element model (FEM) of multistory steel frame structure is established by applying ANSYS parametric design language(APDL) in this paper, where the objective function of optimization is defined as the minimum volume of a Pin framework. The optimal design are carried on by applying the optimized toolbox of ANSYS, based on analysis the situation of the most disadvantageous load combination. Several approaches have been proposed to avoid restraining to the local minimum. Experimental results show that the section size of the structural element improved obviously.

Most steel beam-column connections actually show semi-rigid deformation behavior that can contribute substantially to overall displacements of the structure and to the distribution of member forces. Steel frame structure with semi-rigid connections are becoming more and more popular due to their many advantages such as the better satisfaction with the flexible architectural design, low inclusive cost and environmental protect as well. So it is very necessary that studying the behavior of those steel frame under cyclic reversal loading. On the basics of connections experiments the experiment research on the lateral resistance system of steel frame structure has been completed. Two one-second scale, one-bay, two-story steel frames with semi-rigid connections under cyclic reversal loading. The seismic behavior of the steel frames with semi-rigid connections, including the failure pattern, occurrence order of plastic hinge, hysteretic property and energy dissipation, etc, was investigated in this paper. Some conclusions were obtained that by employing top-mounted and two web angles connections, the higher distortion occurred in the frames, and the internal force distributing of beams and columns was changed, and the ductility and the absorbs seismic energy capability of steel frames can be improved effectively.

Purpose Progressive collapse because of high temperatures arising from an explosion, vehicle impact or fire is an important issue for structural failure in high-rise buildings. Design/methodology/approach The present study, using ABAQUS software for the analysis, investigated the progressive collapse of a two-dimensional, three-bay, four-storey steel frame structure from high-temperature stresses. Findings After structure reaches the temperature results like displacement, stress axial load and shear force are discussed. Research limitations/implications Different temperatures were applied to the columns at different heights of a structure framed with various materials. Progressive collapse load combinations were also applied as per general service administration guidelines. Originality/value This study covered both steady-state and transient-state conditions of a multistorey-frame building subjected to a rise in temperature in the corner columns and intermediate columns. The columns in the framed structure were subjected to high temperatures at different heights, and the resulting displacements, stresses and axial loads were obtained, analysed and discussed.
