Abstract

Based on the ideas of buckling restraint and damage control, a steel frame joint with a buckling-restrained connector is proposed in this paper. A pair of core plates of the connector, for which a bucking-restrained system consisting of a restraining plate, two filling plates and an extending beam flange is set up, transmits flange axial forces and balance the beam end moment. Two specimens with and without the restraining plate were tested under low-cyclic loads, and the hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation and strain distribution were analyzed to investigate the influence of the restraining plate on the hysteresis performance of the joints; numerical simulations of the joints were conducted using the finite element software ABAQUS to study the influence of the core plate bolts and thicknesses on the hysteresis performance of the joints. The results show that the proposed joint can achieve the expected buckling restraint and damage control mechanism, i.e., the core plate first yields to dissipate energy, the restraining plate can prevent excessive out-of-plane buckling of the core plate, the main beam and column remain elastic, and the joint behaves a stable hysteresis performance and large deformation capacity. The bolt preload on the core plate determines whether the core plate will slip, which in turn affects the fullness of the hysteresis curve; the core plate thickness mainly affects the joint stiffness, bearing capacity and damage distribution. Finally, the formulae of bearing capacity, beam end displacement and skeleton curve of the joint were theoretically determined.
