Development of Dissipative Steel Column-Base Connections for Steel Moment-Resisting Frames under Seismic Loading

Hiroyuki Inamasu

In capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), column base connections feature a strong-base/weak-column design philosophy. Prior studies on fixed-end wide flange steel columns featuring seismically compact cross sections subjected to coupled a ...

Experimental Evaluation of Steel Columns under Seismic Hazard-Consistent Collapse Loading Protocols

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens included wide-flange and square hollow structural shapes (HSS) and wer ...

Reduced-order Models for Simulating Coupled Geometric Instabilities in Steel Beam-columns Under Inelastic Cyclic Straining

Alexander Riley Hartloper

Numerical models that can simulate coupled geometric instabilities in steel beam-columns are required for the seismic assessment of certain steel moment-resisting frames. Reliably simulating coupled instabilities requires that the steel material is precise ...

Experimental Evaluation and Numerical Modeling of Wide-Flange Steel Columns Subjected to Constant and Variable Axial Load Coupled with Lateral Drift Demands

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

This paper presents results from an experimental evaluation on the pre- and post-buckling behavior of 12 steel wide-flange cantilever columns under axial load and lateral drift demands. The influence of several loading and geometric parameters, including t ...

Fiber-based hysteretic model for simulating strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section columns under cyclic loading

Dimitrios Lignos

An efficient component model has been developed that captures strength and stiffness deterioration of steel hollow structural section (HSS) columns. The proposed model consists of two fiber-based segments at a member's ends along with an elastic segment in ...

Steel column stability and implications in the seismic assessment of steel structures according to Eurocode 8 Part 3

Dimitrios Lignos, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Seismic performance assessment of new and existing steel structures based on nonlinear static (pushover) analysis necessitates the use of engineering‐oriented models that trace the nonlinear response of structural steel elements under static and cyclic loa ...

Simulating Cyclic Local Buckling–Induced Softening in Steel Beam-Columns Using a Nonlocal Material Model in Displacement-Based Fiber Elements

Dimitrios Lignos

Steel beam-columns subjected to cyclic loading (such as during earthquakes) may exhibit local buckling, which results in effective cross-sectional softening and localization of deformation. These phenomena are critical from the standpoint of performance an ...

Seismic Stability of Wide-Flange Steel Columns Interacting with Embedded Column Base Connections

Dimitrios Lignos, Hiroyuki Inamasu

The rotational flexibility of column base connections is commonly assumed to be detrimental to the seismic response of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) because it increases story drift demands and promotes soft-story formation by lowering the point of ...

Proposed Updates to the ASCE 41 Nonlinear Modeling Parameters for Wide-Flange Steel Columns in Support of Performance-Based Seismic Engineering

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are utilized by engineers for performance-based seismic risk evaluation of new and existing structures. In this context, nonlinear component modeling criteria are typically based on ASCE 41 guidelines. Experiments on w ...

Sensitivity of Simulated Steel Column Instabilities to Plasticity Model Assumptions

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Current experimental studies on the seismic behavior of steel wide-flange columns under multi-axis cyclic loading reveal that these members, depending on their geometric characteristics, may be susceptible to axial shortening, out-of-plane deformations and ...
