Initial Stiffness Analysis of Steel Portal Frame End-Plate Connections Based on Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Steel portal frame is easy to build,but the connection styles of end-plate have greater influence on the structure. In this paper, The formula about initial stiffness of end-plate connections has been given.The essay uses ANSYS to analyze the initial stiffness of end-plate connections. Several factors have also been analyzed about the stiffness.The conclusion is that the form of end-plate, thickness, bolt diameter all affect the structural deflections.But these reasons couldn’t change the integral moment of the structure.
