Product Overview
In this example, we intend to simulate the hysteresis behavior of a moment-resisting frame with cable bracing in the Abaqus software.
As you observe in this picture, this model is composed of beam, column, cable, gusset plate, T-plate, continuity plate, and support.
Cable Bracing
In this model, the cable is used as a bracing member to provide additional resistance to the moment-resisting frame.
The cable bracing is included in the numerical model to investigate its behavior and its effect on the cyclic response of the frame.
Cyclic Loading
In this analysis, a cyclic loading is applied to the model according to the loading protocol used in the experimental study.
The cyclic loading amplitude is defined in Abaqus to reproduce the loading history of the experimental specimen.
Comparison of Abaqus and Experimental Results
In this picture, the force-displacement hysteresis diagram obtained from the Abaqus software is compared with the experimental results.
This comparison is used to evaluate the accuracy of the numerical model and its ability to reproduce the cyclic response observed in the experimental study.
Structural Response
The Abaqus results can also be used to investigate the deformation and structural response of the moment-resisting frame with cable bracing during cyclic loading.
Validation
This project has been validated, which means that the results obtained from the Abaqus software are similar to the results reported in the article.
In other words, this project is based on the reference article and the numerical model has been developed to reproduce the cyclic behavior reported in the experimental study.
