IDEA StatiCa has engaged several US universities to ensure the application is within the safe threshold of the practical engineering design. This webinar will discuss and review the results of investigation into using Finite element analysis to design steel connections according to AISC 358 prequalified connections. The research was developed by:
- Baris Kasapoglu, Ph.D. student (Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering)
- Ali Nassiri, Ph.D. (Department of Integrated Systems Engineering)
This project aimed to evaluate the behavior of seismic steel connections obtained from the IDEA StatiCa software package considering load resistance, rotation capacity, and moment-rotation response. The studied prequalified connections were:
- Reduced beam section (RBS) moment connection
- End plate moment (EPM) connection
- Welded unreinforced flange-welded web (WUF-W) moment connection
- Welded unreinforced flange-bolted web (WUF-B) moment connection
- Double-tee moment connection
Join the webinar session to get the author's insight into the investigation, explanation of the comparisons between IDEA StatiCa and AISC calculations, findings and causes of discrepancies and the future research.
