Steel Frame Structure

The seismic performance of braced steel frame was simulated by the finite element software ANSYS based on the passive energy-dissipation under the low-cycle repeated load and the time-history analysis under seismic load for the energy-dissipation braced steel frame structure, no-brace steel frame structure, and conventional braced frame structure. The energy dissipation and seismic performance of three kinds of frame were compared, the results show that the energy-dissipation braced structure can produce strong energy-dissipation control force to enhance energy dissipation capacity of the whole structure significantly, and weaken the seismic load of the main frame. It follows that the energy-dissipation braced steel frame can achieve the purpose of energy dissipation for structure, and has good seismic performance.

Steel Frame Structure

In order to study the seismic behavior of steel frame structure, based on the verification of the finite element program, two different end-plate connections under monotonic load and cyclic load are analysed with the finite-element software ANSYS, considering geometry, material and status nonlinearity. Some parameters such as height of endplate, array of blot, diameter of blot are analysed to study their effects on the seismic behavior of beam-to-column end-plate connection, the bearing capacity of the joint of the framework, the initial rotation stiffness, the ultimate turning power, power-wasting capacity and ductility. The results show that reasonable connection have better power-wasting capacity and ductility , so it can be applicated in multiple-story steel frame structure.

According to the superposition principle of building structure, the lateral deformation mode of pre-stressed mega bracing-steel frame structure was analyzed, then the relation between the structural maximum inter-story drift and cross section area of cable was further established. Based on the area of cable derived by the design target value of inter-story drift, the qualitative estimation theory on cross section area of the cable is finally determined.

This paper uses ANSYS10.0 to make modal analysis of the finite element models of the light steel frame. Set up two finite element analysis models with different stiffness of floor, one with the rigid floor assumption, another kind with the light steel floor,so as to research the influence of the calculation results of dynamic analysis. According to the analysis results,we can get that how to define the stiffness of floor is more accurate when design the light steel frame structure. So that to provide the theoretical basis for the designing of light steel frame constructions.

Steel Frame Structure

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.
