Seismic Analysis of Semi-rigid Frames Using Skeleton-inspired Beam-column Connectors
Abstract This study proposes a novel flange widened bone shaped semi rigid frame joint. Taking a 4 story frame as an example, the finite element software Abaqus is used to analyse its seismic performance under different seismic waves, and the results are compared with those of a traditional rigidly connected frame. The...
