Prediction of the Connection deformation capacity
The distribution of internal forces in connection is analyzed by FEA. The prediction of deformation capacity is verified on the behavior of the T-stub, the column web panel in shear, and the beam splices. The connectors’ behavior is modeled by analytical models as components. The influence of the limits of materials strain and the estimation of the strain hardening and upper values material yield stress is described on the beam to column welded connection. The sensitivity study of connection deformation capacity shows applicability for practical design solutions.
