A Moment-Shear Story Model for the Design of Steel Frames with Semi-Rigid Connections

Article Preview

Abstract:

A moment-shear story model using the static condensation method is proposed for the steel frame with semi-rigid connections. Based on the superposition principle under small deformation, the story horizontal deflection can be divided into three parts, due to the action of story shears, the top story moment of column and the connection rotation of bottom story column, respectively. The formulas are derived for its lateral stiffness, horizontal deflection and height ratio of inflection point of column, taking into account the effect of semi-rigid connection. Numerical results indicate that this story model is reliable and can be used for preliminary design of this type of structures.
