Description

Stainless steel bolted extended end-plate joints under seismic loading Abaqus

In this illustration, we intend to simulate the stainless steel bolted extended end-plate joints under seismic loading in the Abaqus software

As you observe in this picture, the Model includes Column, Beam, End plate, Bolt, Stiffener and Three-angular Stiffener

This question will be done in two steps, in the first step, the pretension force (bolt load) is applied to the bolts and an axial force is applied to the column at the same step. in the second step, a cyclic loading is applied to the end of beam

In this picture, the hysteresis diagram obtained from the Abaqus software have been compared with the experimental results

As you observe, the results obtained from the Abaqus software are similar to the experimental results

In this picture, the results obtained from the Abaqus software have been compared With the experimental results

This project has been validated, which means that the results obtained from Abaqus software are similar to the results of the article. In other words, this project is based on the article
