ABSTRACT Current design codes can provide life safety performance level based on

observations from recent earthquakes. However, buildings experience some damage

that could be very costly to recover. Low damage control systems have been developed

in recent years to minimize damage in severe earthquakes. The aim of this study is to

improve the understanding of the performance of low damage steel structures

especially in regard to column base connections and the friction connection with Grade

8.8 bolts. The study involves numerical analysis to assess the stress distribution,

displacement, deformation and reaction forces by simulation on Abaqus Finite

Element software. Outcomes include an increased understanding for low damage base

connection. To reach this objective the base connection with low damage mechanism

simulated using Abaqus software is compared with the results from welded base

connection. It was observed that on low damage base connections, the stress

distribution and yielding on main elements of structure (such as column) changed

completely. This mechanism prevents any failure on column on connection with base

plate   and   failure   transferred   to   bolts   and   connection’s   plates.   Thus,   bolts   and  

connection’s  plates can be replaced after damage.

ABSTRAK Kod reka bentuk semasa boleh menghasilkan tahap keselamatan hidup yang

baik berdasarkan kepada pemerhatian kejadian gempa bumi yang lepas. Walau

bagaimanapun, bangunan yang telah mengalami kerosakan boleh menjadi sangat

mahal untuk kos penyelenggaraan. Sistem kawalan rendah kerosakan telah

dibangunkan dalam tahun kebelakangan ini untuk mengurangkan kerosakan akibat

gempa bumi yang teruk. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman

prestasi struktur keluli kerosakan rendah terutamanya berkaitan dengan sambungan

asas tiang dan sambungan geseran dengan bolt bergred 8.8. Kajian ini melibatkan

analisis berangka untuk menilai agihan tegasan, anjakan, ubah bentuk dan daya

tindakbalas menggunakan simulasi daripada perisian Unsur Terhingga Abaqus. Hasil

kajian termasuklah peningkatan pemahaman untuk sambungan asas kerosakan rendah.

Untuk mencapai matlamat ini, sambungan asas dengan mekanisme kerosakan rendah

yang disimulasi daripada perisian Abaqus adalah dibandingkan dengan keputusan

sambungan asas dikimpal. Pemerhatian ke atas sambungan asas kerosakan rendah

mendapati agihan tegasan dan alahan pada elemen-elemen utama struktur (seperti

tiang) berubah sama sekali. Mekanisme ini menghalang daripada kegagalan berlaku

pada. bahagian tiang, sebaliknya memindahkan kegagalan supaya berlaku kepada bolt

dan plat sambungan. Bolt dan sambungan plat seterusnya boleh ditukar atau digantikan

selepas berlakunya kerosakan.

CHAPTER 1

1 INTRODUCTION Structural Steel is an important construction material it possess attributes such

as strength, stiffness, toughness and absolutely high ductility of steel makes it very

practical material for construct diverse structures. These characters define very

efficient material for seismic resistant elements. Multy-story steel structures usually

are designed with moment frame, braced frame or combination of both such as shear

walls. Steel special moment-resisting frames (SMRFs) are one of the most commonly

used lateral load resisting structural systems. They are considered to be most effective

for this function due to their high ductility and high energy-dissipation capacity, in

turn, to plastic hinge formation in the beams and the column bases, and joint panel

zone shear deformation. The ability of SMRFs to resist lateral load is provided by

frame action: the development of bending moments, and shear forces in the frame

members and joints.

Each year some earthquakes occur in various countries around the world and

we must be ready to encounter with this natural phenomenon which can makes

different range of structural, economical, social damages. Seismic loading is a kind of

dynamic loads which depends on time, responding to dynamic loads depends on the

nature of the excitation and dynamic characteristics of the structure (Dowrik, D.2009).

Today, engineers know lots of things about earthquake and design structures which

Page 12: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

2

are seismic resistant but this is not adequate, designers make an effort to come across

innovative techniques that are more reasonably priced and more effectual. For a

building to resist a severe earthquake, it must exhibit dependable strength, stiffness

and ductility.

From the viewpoint of life safety, a building with relatively low strength and

high ductility capacity may provide the same life safety protection as a building with

higher strength and lower ductility capacity. When subjected to a severe earthquake,

however, the outcome in terms of structural damage sustained will be quite different.

While both buildings will remain standing, the low strength/high ductility building is

likely to require considerably greater structural repair than the high strength building.

Such repair will at best require the building to be out of service for a period of time

following the event, with associated occupant and business disruption.

1.1 Definition of Low Damage

Dr. (Clifton, 2005), has defined the concept of low damage design:

No structural repair required after ultimate limit state design level earthquake

Minimal structural repair required after earthquake

Repairs easy to undertake with building in service, repairs to non structural

walls

Building effectively self centers at end of shaking, residual drifts under 0.15%

recommended

Elements failure occurs significantly at the connections: beam to column,

bracing, column to base and column, beam patch. Consequently it is compulsory to

investigate and analysis the performance of different connections under tensile,

Page 13: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

compressive, shear and bending loads. Connections are implicit completely pinned or

fully rigid in the majority design of steel frames, however, the response of structures

after different earthquakes proving that assumptions were wrong.

Actually, the connections behavior is something between rigid and pine which

have some rotational stiffness. To explain the real actions of connections a large

number of experimental and also theoretical analyses have been done. Bolted and

welded beam-to-column connections rotate at an angle due to applied bending

moment. Deformation of connections negatively influences the stability of structure

which is occurred as the result of growing drift of frame and also declining the stiffness

of members which are connected to the joints, this increase in frame drift will multiply

the second order (P-Δ)   effects  overall stability of the frame. (Abdalla K.M., 1995)

Therefore, the non-linear features of connections have significant role in structural

steel design.

The efficiency of moment resisting steel frame also depends on the rotational

stiffness of the column base connection. As (Aviram, 2010),carried out, a pattern of

base plate connection effect significantly the property, For example, if the base plate

is thin and its footing area is close to the size of the column, the base plate will present

almost no impedance to rotation of the column and will behave as a pinned connection.

Despite this, if the plate is thick or sufficiently stiff, the arrangement and size of the

anchor bolts are adequate, and the footing area is large. The base plate will really resist

rotation of the column. So the column base will approach the behavior of a fixed

support. In between these two extremes are partially restrained or semi-rigid

connections, which can be approximated by rotational springs of varying stiffness

values.

The majority of the work which has been carried out on low damage systems

at beam, column or brace deformation, while, the significant role of base connections

has been neglected.  “This maybe important because in earthquakes such as Northridge

(1994) and Kobe (1995) many brittle failures were reported at the base of the structure.

Page 14: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

In contrast, in the recent Canterbury earthquakes (September 2010, February 2011,

and June 2011) there was no significant damage at the base of buildings, possibly

because of the rotational flexibility at the column base”. This base flexibility was result

from diverse sources, for instance column base, foundation deflection, and soil effect.

Several of these buildings were constructed with rigid bases which were expected the

frames yielded at the column bases similarly the height of the building due to inelastic

mechanism to lateral loading. The base flexibility probably decreases the demands at

the base of the structures but it may cause higher storey drift or demands on the steel

frame (Borzouie, 2012).

In this report studies will conduct to understanding the performance of low

damage bases. An analytical study will focus to estimate base flexibility effect on

demands of the steel structure. Although some studies tried to make clear the effect of

soil on the response of the structures (Moghaddasi 2012), but very little work has been

carried out on the effect of base flexibility on response of the structure (MacRae et al.

(2009);Aviram et al. 2010).. It is estimated that the friction connection is one of the

candidates for low damage base connection (Borzouie, 2012).

The effectiveness of a typical low-rise moment-resisting frame depends on the

rotational stiffness of the column base connection, a property that differs greatly with

the configuration of the base plate connection. For example, if the base plate is thin

and its footing area is close to the size of the column, the base plate will present almost

no impedance to rotation of the column and will behave as a pinned connection. On

the other hand, if the plate is thick or sufficiently stiff, the arrangement and size of the

anchor bolts are adequate, and the footing area is large, the base plate will greatly resist

rotation of the column, and the column base will approach the behavior of a fixed

support. In between these two extremes are partially restrained or semi-rigid

connections, which can be approximated by rotational springs of varying stiffness

values. In order for the frame to achieve sufficient lateral stiffness and comply with

code provisions for drift control, the dimensions of the frame elements can become

significant.

Page 15: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

5

Reduction in the column base stiffness and strength due to inadequate detailing,

poor workmanship, deterioration of foundation concrete, long-term deformations, or

cumulative damage from previous earthquakes also can lead to an important increase

in the displacement demand of the frame. Larger drifts of the frame will cause higher

structural and nonstructural damage, resulting in high repair costs after a significant

earthquake. Large drifts can also lead to a soft-story mechanism and buckling

instability hazard due to P-Delta effects. Observations after the 1994 Northridge and

1989 Loma Prieta, California, earthquakes suggest that the rotational stiffness of base

plate assemblages significantly affected the damage suffered by structures not only

directly to the base plate but also to other parts of the frame (Bertero, Anderson, and

Krawinkler 1994; Youssef, Bonowitz, and Gross 1995). Investigation of this effect is

one of the main goals of this report.

1.2 Background of Study

Seismic structural systems could possibly be categorized in these provisions of

generations (Mackinven H., 2007):

Generation 0: when structures designed without any consideration to

earthquake.

Generation 1: performance level specified and at least one performance level

defined for design buildings but, that level have not been derived to verify.

Generation 2: Designs have been done to achieve adequate detailing to meet

desired performance objectives, based on rational analysis supported by experimental

testing. This system is base of these days code which based on demand and capacity

Page 16: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

6

estimation. In this generation when structure resists earthquake vibrations inelastic

deformations occur as a result of yielding. Structures need some repair or replacement

after earthquake because of various damages.

Generation 3: This design make an effort to post pone structural damages and

prevent any inelastic/nonlinear action to reach this object for example by design the

structure and foundation to be strong a sufficient amount but it is generally

uneconomic in Parts of high seismicity. Other methods occupy the technique of adding

energy dissipating and force limiting devices with an elastically responding skeleton.

This consists of rocking structures that the structure experience uplift, yet returns to its

preliminary position following the shaking (e.g. Housner) base isolation systems,

friction devices, viscous dampers and other energy dissipation systems have been

using in this generation of design each one of them has some privileges and troubles,

which will review in next chapters. (Danner, 1995) (Christopoulos, 2002), (Ricles,

2002) and (Clifton, 2005) considered tee beam-column joint subassemblies of this

type.

Generation 4: In this category structures intention is no damage to the all part

of frame, in addition to contain insignificant damage under the design level occasion

to   the   elements   designed   to   resist   the   inelastic   demand.   “In  Generation   4  moment  

frames, the beam end connections are designed as the primary element resisting

inelastic demand. As Dr. (Clifton, 2005) considered, Moment frame connections of

this type are detailed such that energy is dissipated without causing significant

extension  of  the  slab  on  the  top  of  the  beam,  and  without  beam  growth”.

To achieve to this concept of design Through over the last few years a number

of researchers and scientists have worked and various parameters taking to account, to

create innovative method which is not more costly than conventional design and

construction. Low damage design/systems/connections are the result of this attitude to

design structures. Existing design codes can provide life safety performance level

based on observations from recent earthquakes. Though, very costly damage occurs

Page 17: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

on buildings. Low damage systems have been developed in recent years to minimize

damage in severe earthquakes, Figure1.1 shows the target.

Figure 1.1: Possible Target Performance Objective for Damage-Resistant Structures

(MacRae, 2010, based on Hamburger, PEER)

The four Building Performance Levels are Collapse Prevention, Life Safety,

Immediate Occupancy, and Operational. These levels are discrete points on a

continuous  scale  describing  the  building’s  expected  performance,  or  alternatively,  how  

much damage, economic loss, and disruption may occur. Each Building Performance

Level is made up of a Structural Performance Level that describes the limiting damage

state of the structural systems and a Nonstructural Performance Level that describes

the limiting damage state of the nonstructural systems. Three Structural Performance

Levels and four Nonstructural Performance Levels are used to form the four basic

Building Performance Levels listed above.

1.3 Problem Statement

Available techniques that are used to make the structure remains elastic are

simple to implement, but sometimes there is significant additional cost. Techniques

for base isolation have been shown to be very effective, and sometimes reduce the cost

of structures, but concerns still remain about the effectiveness of these techniques on

soft soil sites. Most of the work that has been carried out on low damage systems has

been aimed at beam, column or brace deformation. However, relatively little research

has been conducted on low damage base connection of the structure. This is very

Page 20: SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LOW DAMAGE BASE …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48611/25/MahdiHatamiMFKA2014.pdf · configuration and free-body diagram of exterior posttension energy dissipating

10

important because in earthquakes such as Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) many

brittle failures were reported at the base of the structure. In contrast, in the recent

Canterbury earthquakes (September 2010, February 2011, and June 2011) there was

no significant damage at the base of buildings, possibly because of the rotational

flexibility at the column base. This base flexibility was resulted from different sources

such as column base, foundation deflection, and soil effect. Some of these buildings

were constructed with rigid bases, and it was anticipated that the frames yielded at the

column bases as well as the height of the building due to inelastic mechanism to lateral

loading. The base flexibility probably reduces the demands at the base of the structures

but it may lead to higher storey drift or demands on the steel frame. In this thesis two

different studies will be conducted to develop low damage bases. An analytical study

will focuses to estimate base flexibility effect on demands of the steel structure.

Although some studies tried to make clear the effect of soil on the response of the

structures (Moghaddasi 2012), but very little work has been carried out on the effect

of base flexibility on response of the structure (MacRae et al. 2009);Aviram et al.

2010). Secondly, low damage base connections will be developed based on

experimental tests.

1.4 Objective of Study

In this study will try to improve the understanding of the performance of low

damage steel structures. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the

performance of low damage steel structures especially in regard to column base

connections by simulation of one type of base connection which called Non-prying

connection on finite element software Abaqus. The main topics can be categorized as:

1) The sensitivity of the structural response to the base flexibility.

2) Design issues for the friction base connection with Grade 8.8 bolts.

1.5 Scope of Study

This study aims to move forward the development and implementation of low

damage structures by providing robust design information related to high strength bolts

in base connections. This thesis seeks to answer this main question: What is the

performance of the sliding connection with Grade 8.8 bolts with respect to base

connections? the finite element modeling of specimens on Abaqus were simulated to

compare results with reference connection as a rigid base connection. The study to be

undertaken involves analytical analysis to assess the base flexibility effect on the

structure and experiments for sliding connections and low damage base connections.

Research outcomes will include an increased understanding of these systems for low

damage structures.
