"value": "<h2>Failure mode method</h2>\n<p>In this chapter, component-based finite element method (CBFEM) for design of uniplanar welded Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) is verified to Failure Mode Method (FMM): T, X, and K-joints. In CBFEM, the design resistance is limited by reaching 5 % of strain or a force corresponding to 3% <em>d</em><em><sub>0</sub></em> joint deformation, where <em>d</em><em><sub>0</sub></em> is chord diameter. The resistance in FMM is generally determined by peak load or 3% <em>d</em><sub>0 </sub>deformation limit, see (Lu et al. 1994). FMM is based on the principle of identifying modes that may cause joint failure. From the practical experience and experiments accomplished during the 70s and 80s, two modes of failure were identified for the CHS joints: chord plastification and chord punching shear. This calculation method is always limited to a probed geometry of joints. This means that different formulas always apply for each geometry.

It allows engineers to analyze and assess generally loaded joints and connections with varying complexity of geometry. <strong>CBFEM is a synergy of the standard approach to connection design</strong> <strong>(component method) and finite elements</strong>. Implementation of the CBFEM for the structural steel design represents a qualitative leap for the whole structural engineering industry.</p>\n<p>Following the CBFEM principles, this publication presents benchmark cases for its validation and verification for various structural steel joints and connections. The hierarchy of the system response quantity is prepared for welded and bolted connections as well as for column bases. Each benchmark case shows results from the analytical model according to design standards followed by references to laboratory experiments, validated models, and numerical experiments. Results from CBFEM calculations are thoroughly analyzed, taking into account the global behavior of the joint and verification of resistance.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" data-image-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c37c3b86-71aa-4dd2-9afe-58e25c224a25/CBFEM-bolted_connection.png\" data-asset-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" data-image-id=\"776fe656-ccd3-49b7-aa3f-db4d31162c9c\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>This book will help you to understand how to safely and accurately design and analyze various steel connections according to a given building code. </p>\n<p>Previous editions of the book \"<strong>Component-based finite element design of steel connections\"</strong> were named \"Benchmark cases for advanced design of structural steel connections\".

Two plates are connected in three configurations, namely with a transverse weld, with a longitudinal weld, and a combination of transverse and longitudinal welds. The length and throat thickness of the weld are the varying parameters in the study. The study also covers long welds whose resistance is reduced due to stress concentration. The joint is loaded by a normal force.</p>\n<h3>Analytical model</h3>\n<p>The fillet weld is the only component examined in the study. The welds are designed to be the weakest component in the joint. The weld is designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005. The design resistance of the fillet weld is determined using the Directional method given in Cl. 4.5.3.2 in EN 1993-1-8:2005. The available calculation methods for checking the strength of fillet welds are based upon the simplifying assumption that stresses are uniformly distributed within a throat section of a fillet weld, leading to the normal stresses and shear stresses shown in Fig. 4.1.1, as follows:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em>σ</em><sub>⊥</sub> is the normal stress perpendicular to the throat section;</li>\n <li><em>σ</em><sub>∥</sub><em> </em>is the normal stress parallel to the axis of the weld in its cross-section;</li>\n <li><em>τ</em><sub>⊥</sub> is the shear stress (in the plane of the throat section) perpendicular to the axis of the weld;</li>\n <li><em>τ</em><sub>∥</sub><em> </em>is the shear stress (in the plane of the throat section) parallel to the axis of the weld.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The normal stress <em>σ</em><sub>∥</sub><em> </em>parallel to the axis is not considered when verifying the design resistance of a weld.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ffed132b-d4b9-4dd3-a7f0-980232559f11\" data-image-id=\"ffed132b-d4b9-4dd3-a7f0-980232559f11\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/a1a3ce82-7d5c-4c7f-8b04-bfd8b9be0390/weld.png\" data-asset-id=\"ffed132b-d4b9-4dd3-a7f0-980232559f11\" data-image-id=\"ffed132b-d4b9-4dd3-a7f0-980232559f11\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 4.1.1 Stresses in a throat section of a fillet weld}}}\\]</em></p>\n<p>The design resistance of the fillet weld will be sufficient if the following are both satisfied:</p>\n<p>\\[ \\sqrt{\\sigma_{\\perp}^2 + 3 \\cdot ( \\tau_{\\perp}^2 + \\tau_{\\perp}^2 )} \\le \\frac{f_\\textrm{u}}{\\beta_\\textrm{w} \\gamma_\\textrm{M2}} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[ \\sigma_{\\perp} \\le \\frac{0.9 f_\\textrm{u}}{\\gamma_\\textrm{M2}} \\]</p>\n<p>In lap joints longer than \\( 150 \\cdot a \\), the reduction factor \\(\\beta_{\\mathrm{Lw,1}}\\) is given by:</p>\n<p>\\( \\beta_{\\mathrm{Lw,1}} = 1.2 - \\frac{0.2 L_\\textrm{j}}{150 a} \\) but \\(\\beta_{\\mathrm{Lw,1}} \\le 1.0 \\)</p>\n<h3>Numerical model</h3>\n<p>The weld component in CBFEM is described in <a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/general-theoretical-background#Welded_connections_analysis\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General theoretical background</a> and <a href=\"https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/steel-connection-design-according-to-eurocode\" data-new-window=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EN theoretical background</a>. Nonlinear elastic-plastic material is used for welds in this study. The limiting plastic strain is reached in the longer part of the weld, and stress peaks are redistributed.</p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>An overview of the considered examples and the material properties is provided in Tab. 4.1.1. The weld configurations are T for transverse, P for parallel weld, and TP for a combination of both; see the geometry in Fig. 4.1.2. The steel grade was S235 (<em>f</em><sub>y</sub> = 235 MPa, <em>f</em><sub>u</sub> = 360 MPa, <em>E</em> = 210 GPa, <em>β</em><sub>w</sub> = 0,8). Partial safety factors were <em>γ</em><sub>M0</sub> = 1.0, <em>γ</em><sub>M2</sub> = 1.25. The geometry of the model is shown in Fig. 4.1.2. The plates have a thickness of 20 mm. The connection is symmetrical, and the plate is pulled out of the welded splice connection. The length and width of the plates are adjusted according to the length of the parallel and transverse weld. The weld resistance is always the governing failure mode. The weld throat thickness is 3 mm. The lengths of the transverse and parallel welds vary in this parametric study.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"a37563e5-419e-4574-bdca-bc73b2e7653d\" data-image-id=\"a37563e5-419e-4574-bdca-bc73b2e7653d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/5c46d1a0-916a-4976-93bd-aa23df046bbe/V%C3%BDkres%204.1.png\" data-asset-id=\"a37563e5-419e-4574-bdca-bc73b2e7653d\" data-image-id=\"a37563e5-419e-4574-bdca-bc73b2e7653d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Drawing 4.1 Joint geometry with dimensions}}}\\]</em></p>\n<p>Design weld resistance calculated by CBFEM is compared with the results of CM.

The biggest difference in this study is 6% in load resistance.</p>\n<p>The CBFEM results of parallel welds are slightly conservative but start to diverge for long welds. The reduction of resistance due to long welds is not captured by CBFEM, but it is not expected that welds longer than 200×throat thickness could appear in any connection, and up to this length, the results are still very close.</p>\n<p>For transverse welds, CBFEM provides very consistent results with 2–4% higher resistance.</p>\n<h3>Benchmark example</h3>\n<p><strong>Inputs</strong></p>\n<p>Member 1 – Iw60x500</p>\n<p>• Welded from plates with thickness<em> t </em>= 20 mm</p>\n<p>• Width <em>b</em> = 500 mm</p>\n<p>• Web is removed by Opening manufacturing operation</p>\n<p>• Steel S235</p>\n<p>Member 2 – Plate 20x1000</p>\n<p>• Thickness <em>t</em> = 20 mm</p>\n<p>• Width <em>b</em> = 1000 mm</p>\n<p>• Steel S235</p>\n<p>• Offset <em>e</em><em><sub>x</sub></em><sub> </sub>= –90 mm</p>\n<p>Transverse fillet weld at both sides of Member 2</p>\n<p>• Throat thickness <em>a</em> = 3 mm</p>\n<p>• Weld length <em>L</em><em><sub>t</sub></em> = 100 mm</p>\n<p>Parallel fillet weld at both sides of Member 2</p>\n<p>• Throat thickness <em>a</em> = 3 mm</p>\n<p>• Weld length <em>L</em><em><sub>p</sub></em> = 100 mm</p>\n<p><strong>Output</strong></p>\n<p>• Design resistance in tension <em>F</em><em><sub>Rd</sub></em> = 387 kN (It should be noted that the resistance was calculated using the \"Stop at limit strain\" function.

The research activity covered the standardization of design and manufacturing procedures for a set of bolted joint types and a welded reduced beam section with heavy profiles designed to meet different performance levels. There was also the development of a new loading protocol for European prequalification, representative of European seismic demand. The experimental campaign devoted to the cyclic characterization of both European mild carbon steel and high strength bolts achieved the required behavior for four types of pre-qualified joints: haunched bolted joints, unstiffened extended end plate bolted joints, stiffened extended end plate bolted joints, and welded reduced beam section joints; see Fig. 12.1.1. The results experimentally reached within the EQUALJOINJTS project are summarised in (Stratan et al. 2017) and (Tartaglia and D’Aniello, 2017).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"79827b97-0a16-471c-b935-c7e6925ea7dc\" data-image-id=\"79827b97-0a16-471c-b935-c7e6925ea7dc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e8215cee-720b-4f1c-a2d9-79339fdfa437/12-1-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"79827b97-0a16-471c-b935-c7e6925ea7dc\" data-image-id=\"79827b97-0a16-471c-b935-c7e6925ea7dc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.1.1 Structural joints prequalified in EQUALJOINTS project</em></p>\n<h2>12.2 End plate joints</h2>\n<p>The extended stiffened end plate bolted connections are most common among European steel fabricating industries and are widely used in European practice as moment-resistant joints in low and medium-rise steel frames thanks to the simplicity and the economy of fabrication and erection. The design criteria and related requirements for bolted extended stiffened end plate beam-to-column joints are deeply investigated and critically discussed and currently codified in EN 1998-1:2005 based on a parametric study based on finite element analyses. Unfortunately, capacity design procedure was developed only in the framework of component method. It also accounts for the presence of ribs and is able to control the joint response for different performance levels.</p>\n<p>Unstiffened extended end plate joints are commonly used in steel construction to connect steel I or H beam to steel I or H column in the case where significant bending moments have to be transferred. This configuration allows an easy erection by bolting while welding the end plate to the beam is automated in shop. The bending resistance of the connection is mostly lower than the bending resistance of the connected members. Therefore, such joints are considered as partial strength. Reaching an equal strength situation, in which the plastic resistance of the joint is roughly equal to the plastic resistance of the beam section, may be achieved through appropriate design. Their ductility in bending depends highly on the detailing of the joints, which influences the failure mode (Jaspart, 1997). If the joint component governing the failure is a ductile one, and if the resistance of the brittle active components is significantly higher, a ductile joint response may be reached. In the opposite case, no reliance should be made on the capacity of the joint to form plastic hinges and redistribute internal forces to absorb energy in a seismic area.</p>\n<p>For the welded reduced beam section moment resisting connections, also referred to as dog-bone, two main strategies were adopted by strengthening the connection or weakening the beam. Among these two options for the profile of section reduction, the radius cut tends to exhibit a relatively more ductile behavior, delaying the ultimate fracture (Jones et al. 2002). However, the work showed that reduced beam section members are more prone to lateral-torsional buckling due to the decreased area of their flanges. Further experimental and analytical research focusing on the application of deep columns (Zhang and Ricles, 2006) indicated that the presence of a composite floor slab may greatly reduce the amount of twisting developing in the column, as it offers bracing to the beam and reduces the lateral displacement of the bottom flange.</p>\n<p>According to the design procedure developed within the project EQUALJOINTS, the joint comprises three macro-components: the column web panel, the connection zone, and the beam zone; see Fig. 12.2.1. Each macro-component is individually designed according to specific assumptions, and then capacity design criteria are applied in order to obtain three different design objectives defined to assess the joint: full strength, equal strength, and partial strength joints. Full strength joints are designed to guarantee the formation of all plastic deformations into the beam, which is consistent with EN 1998-1:2005 strong column – weak beam capacity design rules. Equal strength joints are theoretically characterized by the contemporary yielding of all macro-components, i.e. connection, web panel, and beam. Partial strength joints are designed to develop the plastic deformation only in the connection or column web panel. According to the resistance of the connection and column web panel macro-components for both equal and partial strength joints, an additional classification can be introduced. For strong web panel, the plastic demand is concentrated in the connection for partial strength joint or in the connection and in the beam for equal strength joint. In balanced web panel, the plastic demand is distributed between the connection and the column web panel for partial strength joint and in the connection, web panel, and the beam for equal strength joint. For weak web panel, the plastic demand is concentrated in the column web panel for partial strength joint or in the web panel and in the beam for equal strength joint.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"8007cef1-95a7-4d91-bc6a-80d8a00eb2a2\" data-image-id=\"8007cef1-95a7-4d91-bc6a-80d8a00eb2a2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/3f38b776-39bb-41ea-b17b-75d92182b94a/12-2-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"8007cef1-95a7-4d91-bc6a-80d8a00eb2a2\" data-image-id=\"8007cef1-95a7-4d91-bc6a-80d8a00eb2a2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.2.1 Division of joint into macro components</em></p>\n<p>The joint ductility depends on the type of failure mode and the corresponding plastic deformation capacity of the activated component.

Overstrength factor was assumed 1,25 (Landolfo et al. 2017). All steel was grade S355. The resistances of individual components are summarized in Tab. 12.2.2. The checks in bold are failing. Note that haunch resistance is the plastic resistance of the beam section with the haunch at end plate. The strength of the beam is assumed increased by overstrength factor at the location of plastic hinge but not at the end plate. If the overstrength factor was used at the end plate as well, this resistance would be higher. Therefore, the next lowest resistance, the T-stub – end plate, was assumed to govern the joint resistance of joint No. 267. None of the investigated joints meets the requirement for full-strength joint. However, the resistance is very close, and the joints are equal-strength. The column web panel is in all cases strong.</p>\n<p>The governing failure mode by CBFEM is failure of bolts with yielding of plates, mainly end plate, column flange, and haunch. According to CBFEM, joints No. 4.2 and No. 264 are full-strength and joint No. 267 equal-strength. Column web panels are strong in all cases.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5537a2d6-4117-475d-aac3-240af7626035\" data-image-id=\"5537a2d6-4117-475d-aac3-240af7626035\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2f805ee5-f5aa-44b3-bd14-8b6773ac7a13/12-2-Fig8.png\" data-asset-id=\"5537a2d6-4117-475d-aac3-240af7626035\" data-image-id=\"5537a2d6-4117-475d-aac3-240af7626035\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"42e115be-3399-42d7-99cb-ec34acaa53e1\" data-image-id=\"42e115be-3399-42d7-99cb-ec34acaa53e1\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/2e648aaa-74a8-4a2f-b1a4-4c4d71db4fde/12-2-Fig8b.png\" data-asset-id=\"42e115be-3399-42d7-99cb-ec34acaa53e1\" data-image-id=\"42e115be-3399-42d7-99cb-ec34acaa53e1\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.2.8 The strains at resistance for a) the whole joint, b) the macro-component bolted end-plate connection only c) the macro-component column web panel in shear with web doublers only, d) the macro-component beam only</em></p>\n<h3>12.2.3 Unstiffened extended end-plate joints</h3>\n<p>For sensitivity study, a prequalified unstiffened extended end-plate joint was selected. The beam IPE 450 is connected to column HEB 300 by an extended end plate 25 mm thick with twelve M30 10.9 bolts, with and without web doubler 10 mm thick. Steel grade S 355 was used for all plates. To determine the contribution of each macro component separately, the material diagram of the selected macro component was elastoplastic, while the rest of the joint was with only elastic material diagram. The strains at the resistance of the whole joint, the column web panel in shear with web doublers only, and the bolted end-plate connection only are compared to the beam macro-component only in Fig. 12.2.8. The influence of each macro-component on the behavior of the joint is presented in Fig. 12.2.9, where column web panel with and without web doublers is shown. The joint behavior shows higher resistance of the connection macro-component.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"06cac5a4-db60-4b25-bfe9-cf8a4d956a4b\" data-image-id=\"06cac5a4-db60-4b25-bfe9-cf8a4d956a4b\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ce6fa6fa-b9e7-45d9-aba0-bf76b09a840a/12-2-Fig9.png\" data-asset-id=\"06cac5a4-db60-4b25-bfe9-cf8a4d956a4b\" data-image-id=\"06cac5a4-db60-4b25-bfe9-cf8a4d956a4b\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.2.9 Influence of macro-components, the column web panel with doublers in shear, <br>\nthe bolted end-plate connection and beam to the behavior of the whole joint</em></p>\n<h3>12.2.4 Location of compression center</h3>\n<p>For end-plate joints, EN 1993-1-8:2006 specifies that the compression center is located in the middle of the thickness of beam flange, or at the tip of the haunch in case of haunched joints. Experimental and numerical results showed that the location of compression center depends on both the joint type and the rotation demand due to the formation of plastic modes with different engagement of each joint component (Landolfo et al. 2017). According to the proposed CM design procedure and based on both experimental and numerical results, contact at about the centroid of the section made by the beam flange and the rib stiffeners is expected, for the stiffened endplate joints or at about 0,5 the haunch height in case of haunched joints. This rough assumption is précised by CBFEM procedure, which gives correct values during loading and initial yielding of parts of a joint.</p>\n<p>The presented results show the good accuracy of CBFEM verified to ROFEM validated to EQUALIJOINTS experiments and CM. It brings the possibility to consider the behavior of macro-components separately and the position of neutral axes accurately according to the loading/plastification.</p>\n<h2>12.3 Welded reduced beam section joint</h2>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>A prequalified welded reduced beam section joint according to ANSI/AISC 358-16 was selected for this study. The beam IPE 450 is connected to column HEB 300 by butt welds at flanges and fin plate 12 mm thick with three preloaded M30 10.9 bolts, with and without web doubler 10 mm thick; see Fig. 12.3.1. All used steel is grade S355.</p>\n<p>The strains at the ultimate resistance of the whole joint and macro component column web panel in shear with web doublers only are shown in Fig. 12.3.2. The influence of each macro-component to the behavior of the joint is presented in Fig. 12.3.3, where column web panel with and without web doublers is shown. The joint shows that the resistances of the joint macro-components are well-optimized.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"5e8190db-1f98-4ec1-a4dd-cc6b916d5820\" data-image-id=\"5e8190db-1f98-4ec1-a4dd-cc6b916d5820\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/9a525d44-31b3-4591-be78-8d1fd2b93499/12-3-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"5e8190db-1f98-4ec1-a4dd-cc6b916d5820\" data-image-id=\"5e8190db-1f98-4ec1-a4dd-cc6b916d5820\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.3.1 Reduced beam section joint, a) beam with reduced section, b) the column web panel with doublers in shear, the bolted end plate connection, <br>\n</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"0af82bec-02a7-45fd-8b3b-3268ef8f1cb0\" data-image-id=\"0af82bec-02a7-45fd-8b3b-3268ef8f1cb0\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b4f00658-aa71-4364-9901-210969c3f4a4/12-3-Fig2.png\" data-asset-id=\"0af82bec-02a7-45fd-8b3b-3268ef8f1cb0\" data-image-id=\"0af82bec-02a7-45fd-8b3b-3268ef8f1cb0\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.3.2 The strains at resistance for a) the whole joint and b) the macro component column web panel with doublers in shear only </em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d8b0eec4-8bed-4b76-8a6a-499bc5444b62\" data-image-id=\"d8b0eec4-8bed-4b76-8a6a-499bc5444b62\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/4ec404ec-7226-4c7a-a815-2a9eebffb0ed/12-3-Fig3.png\" data-asset-id=\"d8b0eec4-8bed-4b76-8a6a-499bc5444b62\" data-image-id=\"d8b0eec4-8bed-4b76-8a6a-499bc5444b62\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 12.3.3 Influence of macro-components on the behavior of the whole joint on M-φ diagram</em></p>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n3f493b7f_f9e1_01ea_2e59_f8324070f56c\"></object>\n<h3>References</h3>\n<p>EN 1993-1-8, Eurocode 3, Design of steel structures – Part 1-8: <em>Design of joints</em>, CEN, Brussels, 2005.</p>\n<p>Jones S.L., Fry GT., Engelhardt M.D. Experimental evaluation of cyclically loaded reduced beam section moment connections. <em>Journal of Structural Engineering.</em> 128 (4), 441–451, 2002.</p>\n<p>Landolfo R. et al.

For long connection, reduction factor according to cl. 3.8 is considered. Design resistance of connected members with reductions for fastener holes is taken into account according to cl 3.10.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"c9feaf85-c7d4-4860-9bcf-9fd00e4bcc24\" data-image-id=\"c9feaf85-c7d4-4860-9bcf-9fd00e4bcc24\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b1237ffb-88e5-4eae-bbd8-26f7c1393547/V%C3%BDkres%205.2.png\" data-asset-id=\"c9feaf85-c7d4-4860-9bcf-9fd00e4bcc24\" data-image-id=\"c9feaf85-c7d4-4860-9bcf-9fd00e4bcc24\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{ Drawing 5.2.1 Joint geometry and dimensions}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>Design resistances calculated by CBFEM were compared with results of analytical model (AM).

Both components are designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005. The welds are designed not to be the weakest component. Effective lengths for circular and noncircular failures are considered according to EN 1993-1-8:2005 cl. 6.2.6. Only tension loads are considered. Three modes of collapse according to EN 1993-1-8:2005 cl. 6.2.4.1 are considered: 1. mode with full yielding of the flange, 2. mode with two yield lines by web and rupture of the bolts, and 3. mode for rupture of the bolts; see Fig. 5.1.1. Bolts are designed according to cl. 3.6.1 in EN 1993-1-8:2005. Design resistance considers punching shear resistance and rupture of the bolt.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d3bbb767-c375-4f5c-b168-6c9f9432de70\" data-image-id=\"d3bbb767-c375-4f5c-b168-6c9f9432de70\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/ac0da8eb-e018-4bf5-8189-c24812fc1513/05-1-fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"d3bbb767-c375-4f5c-b168-6c9f9432de70\" data-image-id=\"d3bbb767-c375-4f5c-b168-6c9f9432de70\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.1 Collapse modes of T-stub}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Design numerical model</h3>\n<p>T-stub is modeled by 4-nodes shell elements as described in Chapter 3 and summarised further. Every node has 6 degrees of freedom. Deformations of the element consist of membrane and flexural contributions. Nonlinear elastic-plastic material status is investigated in each layer of integration point. Assessment is based on the maximum strain given according to EN 1993‑1‑5:2006 by value of 5 %. Bolts are divided into three sub-components. The first is the bolt shank, which is modeled as a nonlinear spring and caries tension only. The second sub-component transmits tensile force into the flanges. The third sub-component solves shear transmission.</p>\n<h3>Research numerical model</h3>\n<p>In cases where the CBFEM gives higher resistance, initial stiffness, or deformation capacity, research FEM model (RM) from brick elements validated on experiments (Gödrich et al. 2013) is used to verify the CBFEM model. RM is created in Midas FEA software of hexahedral and octahedral solid elements, see Fig. 5.1.2 Mesh sensitivity study was provided to reach proper results in adequate time. Numerical model of the bolts is based on the model by (Wu et al. 2012). The nominal diameter is considered in the shank, and the effective core diameter is considered in the threaded part. Washers are coupled with the head and nut. Deformation caused by stripping of the threads in thread–nut contact area is modeled using interface elements. Interface elements are unable to transfer tensile stresses. Contact elements allowing the transmission of pressure and friction are used between washers and flanges of the T-stub. One-quarter of the sample was modeled using the symmetry.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"815aa064-9050-4b89-bf65-21b517b10534\" data-image-id=\"815aa064-9050-4b89-bf65-21b517b10534\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/eaab7e2f-6e41-4c08-a667-27c4c1b0bfb3/05-1-fig2.png\" data-asset-id=\"815aa064-9050-4b89-bf65-21b517b10534\" data-image-id=\"815aa064-9050-4b89-bf65-21b517b10534\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.2 Research FEM model}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"314b22f8-16be-4ec7-bb12-0b3d6a677264\" data-image-id=\"314b22f8-16be-4ec7-bb12-0b3d6a677264\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e4b6c7df-be05-49ae-bb9f-464553261df3/05-1-fig3.png\" data-asset-id=\"314b22f8-16be-4ec7-bb12-0b3d6a677264\" data-image-id=\"314b22f8-16be-4ec7-bb12-0b3d6a677264\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.3 Geometry of the T-stubs}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Range of validity</h3>\n<p>CBFEM was verified for the selected typical T-stub geometries.

Attention was focused on the main characteristics: initial stiffness, design resistance, and deformation capacity. Sample tf20 was chosen to present as a reference; see Fig. 5.1.4 and Tab. 5.1.2. CM generally gives higher initial stiffness compared to CBFEM and RM. In all cases, RM gives the highest design resistance, as shown in chapter 6. Deformation capacity is also compared. Deformation capacity of T-stub was calculated according to (Beg et al. 2004). RM does not consider cracking of the material, so the prediction of deformation capacity is limited.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"abe3bc01-7524-4019-92be-7279be9e9421\" data-image-id=\"abe3bc01-7524-4019-92be-7279be9e9421\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/f613bab7-0948-4355-afdf-ab961e75f08a/05-1-fig4.png\" data-asset-id=\"abe3bc01-7524-4019-92be-7279be9e9421\" data-image-id=\"abe3bc01-7524-4019-92be-7279be9e9421\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.4 Force–deformation diagram}}}\\]</em></p>\n<p><em>Tab. 5.1.2 Global behavior overview</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"3917116e-d3e3-41f7-a512-c76d10bbb706\" data-image-id=\"3917116e-d3e3-41f7-a512-c76d10bbb706\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/45605c6b-9217-4f6b-9a41-830929480f2d/5.1.stif.png\" data-asset-id=\"3917116e-d3e3-41f7-a512-c76d10bbb706\" data-image-id=\"3917116e-d3e3-41f7-a512-c76d10bbb706\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>Design resistances calculated by CBFEM were compared with the results of CM and RM in the next step.

RM gives even higher resistance for these samples; see Fig. 5.1.5. Higher resistance of both numerical models is explained by neglecting membrane effect in CM. In case of the bolt diameter and bolt material (see Fig. 5.1.6 and Fig. 5.1.7, respectively), the results of CBFEM correspond to these of CM. Due to a good agreement of both methods, the results of RM are not required.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6c223424-d29d-488d-a3a6-6605aca0c8d2\" data-image-id=\"6c223424-d29d-488d-a3a6-6605aca0c8d2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/eec5b716-43ac-4472-a98c-d19a1946e838/chapter_5_1___res_5_1_bolt_diam___Sensitivity_study_for_the_bolt_diameter.png\" data-asset-id=\"6c223424-d29d-488d-a3a6-6605aca0c8d2\" data-image-id=\"6c223424-d29d-488d-a3a6-6605aca0c8d2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.6 Sensitivity study of the bolt diameter}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"f82dcfe5-2e39-411d-a638-73ebb54b5f28\" data-image-id=\"f82dcfe5-2e39-411d-a638-73ebb54b5f28\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b6caad76-9827-416f-b146-5f256d468176/chapter_5_1___res_5_1_bolt_grade___Sensitivity_study_for_the_bolt_material.png\" data-asset-id=\"f82dcfe5-2e39-411d-a638-73ebb54b5f28\" data-image-id=\"f82dcfe5-2e39-411d-a638-73ebb54b5f28\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.1.7 Sensitivity study of the bolt material}}}\\]</em></p>\n<p>In the case of the bolt distances, the results of CBFEM and CM show generally good agreement; see Fig. 5.1.8.

The design method is limited to column web slenderness <em>d / t</em><sub>w</sub><em> ≤ </em>69<em> ε.</em> Webs with higher slenderness are designed according to EN 1993-1-5:2006 cl. 5 and Annex A. The shear resistance is made of shear buckling resistance of the web panel and resistance of the frame made of the flanges and stiffeners surrounding the panel. The buckling resistance of the web panel is based on the shear critical stress</p>\n<p>\\[ \\tau_{cr} = k_{\\tau} \\sigma_E \\]</p>\n<p>where <em>σ</em><em><sub>E</sub></em> is the Euler critical stress of the plate</p>\n<p>\\[ \\sigma_E = \\frac{\\pi^2 E}{12 (1-\\nu^2)} \\left ( \\frac{t_w}{h_w} \\right )^2 \\]</p>\n<p>The buckling coefficient <em>k</em><em><sub>τ</sub></em> is obtained in EN 1993-1-5:2006, Annex A.3.</p>\n<p>The slenderness of the web panel is</p>\n<p>\\[ \\bar{\\lambda_w} = 0.76 \\sqrt{\\frac{f_{yw}}{\\tau_{cr}}} \\]</p>\n<p>The reduction factor <em>χ</em><em><sub>w</sub></em> may be obtained in EN 1993-1-5:2006 cl. 5.3.</p>\n<p>The shear buckling resistance of the web panel is</p>\n<p>\\[ V_{bw,Rd} = \\frac{\\chi_w f_{yw} h_w t_w}{\\sqrt{3} \\gamma_{M1}} \\]</p>\n<p>The resistance of the frame may be designed according to cl. 6.2.6.1 in EN 1993-1-8:2005.</p>\n<h3>Design finite element model</h3>\n<p>The design procedure for slender plates is described in section 3.10. The linear buckling analysis is implemented in the software. The calculation of the design resistances is done according to the design procedure. <em>F</em><sub>CBFEM</sub> is interpolated by the user until <em>ρ ∙ α</em><sub>ult,k</sub><em>/γ</em><sub>M1</sub> is equal to 1.</p>\n<p>A beam-column joint with a slender column web is studied. The height of the beam web is changing; thus, the width of the column web panel is changing. The geometry of the examples is described in Tab. 6.2.1. The joint is loaded by bending moment.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Tab. 6.2.1 Examples overview</p>\n<table><tbody>\n <tr><td>Example</td><td>Column flange</td><td><br></td><td>Column web</td><td><br></td><td>Beam</td><td>Material</td></tr>\n <tr><td><br></td><td><em>b</em><sub>f</sub></td><td><em>t</em><sub>f</sub></td><td><em>h</em><sub>w</sub></td><td><em>t</em><sub>w</sub></td><td>IPE</td><td><br></td></tr>\n <tr><td><br></td><td>[mm]</td><td>[mm]</td><td>[mm]</td><td>[mm]</td><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr>\n <tr><td>IPE400</td><td>250</td><td>10</td><td>820</td><td>4</td><td>400</td><td>S235</td></tr>\n <tr><td>IPE 450</td><td>250</td><td>10</td><td>820</td><td>4</td><td>450</td><td>S235</td></tr>\n <tr><td>IPE500</td><td>250</td><td>10</td><td>820</td><td>4</td><td>500</td><td>S235</td></tr>\n <tr><td>IPE 550</td><td>250</td><td>10</td><td>820</td><td>4</td><td>550</td><td>S235</td></tr>\n <tr><td>IPE600</td><td>250</td><td>10</td><td>820</td><td>4</td><td>600</td><td>S235</td></tr>\n</tbody></table>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"1a977fee-1a30-4340-bf9c-06e518da7746\" data-image-id=\"1a977fee-1a30-4340-bf9c-06e518da7746\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/c820b457-fe24-4389-b1e4-5795fe93a44a/V%C3%BDkres%206.2.png\" data-asset-id=\"1a977fee-1a30-4340-bf9c-06e518da7746\" data-image-id=\"1a977fee-1a30-4340-bf9c-06e518da7746\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 6.2.1 Joint geometry and dimensions}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ff58c285-a6da-49d7-a913-04cb63043be4\" data-image-id=\"ff58c285-a6da-49d7-a913-04cb63043be4\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/559bb226-977c-4531-9d17-aaa2c8e32c0f/Figure_1.png\" data-asset-id=\"ff58c285-a6da-49d7-a913-04cb63043be4\" data-image-id=\"ff58c285-a6da-49d7-a913-04cb63043be4\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 6.2.2 Moment-rotation curve of example IPE400}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Global behavior and verification</h3>\n<p>The global behavior of a beam-column joint with a slender column web described by moment-rotation diagram in CBFEM model is shown in Fig. 6.2.2.

The diagram is completed with a point where yielding starts and resistance by 5 % plastic strain.</p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>The design resistance calculated by CBFEM is compared with CM. The comparison is focused on the plastic resistance. The results are ordered in Tab. 6.2.2a. Fig. 6.2.2a<em> </em>shows the differences between the two calculation methods. Table 6.2.2b shows the design buckling resistance data. Table 6.2.2c and Fig. 6.2.3c show the differences between the two calculation methods when computing buckling resistance.

An open section beam is welded to an open section column. The column is stiffened with two horizontal stiffeners opposite to beam flanges. Compressed plates, e.g. horizontal stiffeners of a column, column web panel in shear, compressed beam flange, are limited to 3<sup>rd</sup> class to avoid buckling. The rafter is loaded by shear force and bending moment.</p>\n<h3>Analytical model</h3>\n<p>Five components are examined in the study, namely the web panel in shear, the column web in transverse compression, the column web in transverse tension, the column flange in bending, and the beam flange in compression. All components are designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005. Fillet welds are designed not to be the weakest component in the joint. The verification study of a fillet weld in a stiffened beam-to-column joint is in chapter 4.4.</p>\n<h4>Web panel in shear</h4>\n<p>The thickness of the column web is limited by slenderness to avoid stability problem; see EN 1993‑1‑8:2005, Cl 6.2.6.1(1). A class 4 column web panel in shear is studied in chapter 6.2. Two contributions to the load capacity are considered: resistance of the column panel in shear and the contribution from the frame mechanism of the column flanges and horizontal stiffeners; see EN 1993‑1‑8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.1 (6.7 and 6.8).</p>\n<h4>Column web in transverse compression</h4>\n<p>Effect of the interaction of the shear load is considered; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.2, Tab. 6.3. Influence of longitudinal stress in the column panel is considered; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.2(2). The horizontal stiffeners are included in the load capacity of this component.</p>\n<h4>Column web in transverse tension</h4>\n<p>Effect of the interaction of the shear load is considered; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.2, Tab. 6.3. The horizontal stiffeners are included in the load capacity of this component.</p>\n<h4>Column flange in bending</h4>\n<p>Horizontal stiffeners brace column flange; this component is not considered.</p>\n<h4>Beam flange in compression</h4>\n<p>The horizontal beam is designed to be class 3 cross-section or better to avoid buckling.</p>\n<p>Overview of the considered examples and the material are given in the Tab. 9.1.1. Geometry of the joint with dimensions is shown in Fig. 9.1.1. The considered parameters in the study are beam cross-section, column cross-section, and thickness of the column web panel.</p>\n<p><em>Tab. 9.1.1 Examples overview</em></p>\n<table><tbody>\n

The results show that the difference between the two calculation methods is less than 5%, which is a generally acceptable value. The study with parameter column web thickness gives higher resistance for CBFEM model compared to component method. This difference is caused by considering welded cross-sections. The transfer of shear load is in component method considered only in web and contribution of the flanges is neglected.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"c73ca23d-7ecd-42b5-9580-03be31cc3719\" data-image-id=\"c73ca23d-7ecd-42b5-9580-03be31cc3719\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/b5ba4530-c328-443f-8427-889e4ce61a1f/09-1-Fig6.png\" data-asset-id=\"c73ca23d-7ecd-42b5-9580-03be31cc3719\" data-image-id=\"c73ca23d-7ecd-42b5-9580-03be31cc3719\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 9.1.6 Verification of CBFEM to CM</em></p>\n<h3>Benchmark example</h3>\n<p><strong>Inputs</strong></p>\n<p>Column</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Steel S235</li>\n <li>HEB260</li>\n <li>Column offset over beam: 20 mm</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Beam</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Steel S235</li>\n <li>IPE330</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Column stiffeners</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Thickness <em>t</em><sub>s</sub> = 10 mm</li>\n <li>Width 80 mm</li>\n <li>Opposite to beam flanges</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Weld</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Beam flange: fillet weld throat thickness <em>a</em><sub>f</sub> = 9 mm</li>\n <li>Beam web: fillet weld throat thickness <em>a</em><sub>w</sub> = 5 mm</li>\n <li>Butt weld around stiffeners</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Outputs</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Design resistance in shear <em>V</em><sub>Rd</sub> = –145 kN</li>\n <li>Design resistance in bending <em>M</em><sub>Rd</sub> = 145 kNm</li>\n <li>Critical component: Column web panel in shear</li>\n</ul>\n<object type=\"application/kenticocloud\" data-type=\"item\" data-rel=\"component\" data-codename=\"n588044d5_b4e8_0158_5c7e_fee861b145e6\"></object>"

Square hollow sections (SHS) brace is welded directly onto an RHS chord without the use of reinforcing plates. The joints are loaded by an axial force. In CBFEM, the design resistance is limited by 5 % of strain or a force corresponding to 0,03<em>b</em><sub>0 </sub>joint deformation and in FMM generally by plate out of plane deformation 0,03<em>b</em><sub>0</sub> where <em>b</em><sub>0</sub> is the depth of the RHS chord; see Lu et al. (1994).</p>\n<h2>Failure mode method</h2>\n<p>In the case of the axially loaded T, Y, X or K-joint with gap of the welded rectangular hollow sections, five failure modes can occur. These are chord face failure, chord plastification, chord side wall failure, chord web failure, chord shear failure, punching shear failure, and brace failure. In this study, chord face failure, brace failure, and punching shear failure are examined for T, Y and X-joint and chord face failure, chord shear failure, brace failure, and punching shear failure are examined for K-joint with gap; see Fig. 7.2.1. The welds designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005 are not the weakest components in the joint.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"72dc9d70-eb00-41c0-84da-55a7f0aa7e0d\" data-image-id=\"72dc9d70-eb00-41c0-84da-55a7f0aa7e0d\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/45c8476b-a719-4b01-a71d-9989ac81be18/07-2-fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"72dc9d70-eb00-41c0-84da-55a7f0aa7e0d\" data-image-id=\"72dc9d70-eb00-41c0-84da-55a7f0aa7e0d\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 7.2.1 Examined failure modes: a) Chord face failure, b) Chord shear failure, c) Brace failure, and d) Punching shear failure}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Chord face failure</h3>\n<p>The design resistance of an RHS chord face is determined by FMM model in section 9.5 of EN 1993‑1-8:2020.

The study is prepared for the column cross-section, dimension of base plate, grade of concrete, and dimensions of concrete block.</p>\n<h3>Component method</h3>\n<p>Three components are taken into account: column flange and web in compression, concrete in compression including grout, welds. Component column flange and web in compression is described in EN 1993-1-8:2005 Cl. 6.2.6.7. The concrete in compression including grout is modeled according to EN 1993-1-8:2005 Cl. 6.2.6.9 and EN 1992-1-1:2005 Cl. 6.7. Two iterations of effective area are used to determine the resistance.</p>\n<p>The weld is designed around the column cross-section; see EN 1993-1-8:2005 Cl. 4.5.3.2(6). The thickness of the weld on the flanges is selected the same as the thickness of the weld on the web. Shear force is transferred only by welds on the web, and plastic stress distribution is considered.</p>\n<h3>Base plate under HEB 240</h3>\n<p>This study is focused on the component concrete in compression including grout. An example of calculation is shown below for the concrete block with dimensions <em>a'</em> = 1000 mm, <em>b'</em> = 1500 mm, <em>h</em> = 800 mm from concrete grade C20/25 with base plate with dimensions <em>a</em> = 330 mm, <em>b</em> = 440 mm, <em>t</em> = 20 mm from steel grade S235; see Fig. 8.1.2.</p>\n<p> The joint stength of the concrete is calculated under the effective area in compression around the cross-section; see Fig. 8.1.1, iterating in two steps.</p>\n<p>For 1<sup>st</sup> step it is:</p>\n<p>\\[ f_{jd} = \\frac{\\beta_j k_j f_{ck}}{\\gamma_c} = \\frac{0.67 \\cdot 2.908 \\cdot 20}{1.5} = 26 \\textrm{ MPa} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[ c = t \\sqrt{\\frac{f_y}{3f_{jd} \\gamma_{M0}}} = 20 \\sqrt{\\frac{235}{3 \\cdot 26 \\cdot 1.0}} = 35 \\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p> \\[ l_{eff} = b+2c = 240+2\\cdot35=310 \\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p> \\[ b_{eff} = t_f+2c = 17+2\\cdot35=87\\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p>and for 2<sup>nd</sup> step it is:</p>\n<p>\\[ f_{jd} = \\frac{\\beta_j k_j f_{ck}}{\\gamma_c} = \\frac{0.67 \\cdot 3 \\cdot 20}{1.5} = 27 \\textrm{ MPa} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[ c = t \\sqrt{\\frac{f_y}{3f_{jd} \\gamma_{M0}}} = 20 \\sqrt{\\frac{235}{3 \\cdot 27 \\cdot 1.0}} = 34 \\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p> \\[ l_{eff} = b+2c = 240+2\\cdot35=308 \\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p> \\[ b_{eff} = t_f+2c = 17+2\\cdot35=85\\textrm{ mm} \\]</p>\n<p>\\[A_{eff} = 63463 \\textrm{ mm}^2\\]</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6dfcb2d9-1963-4cbb-a1f8-90ad41fc7f62\" data-image-id=\"6dfcb2d9-1963-4cbb-a1f8-90ad41fc7f62\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/1146d925-45d5-46b9-8d20-103c4a01a4ad/08-1-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"6dfcb2d9-1963-4cbb-a1f8-90ad41fc7f62\" data-image-id=\"6dfcb2d9-1963-4cbb-a1f8-90ad41fc7f62\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.1.1 Effective area under the base plate</em></p>\n<p>The normal force resistance of the base plate by CM is</p>\n<p>\\[N_{Rd} = A_{eff} \\cdot f_{jd} = 63436 \\cdot 27 = 1701 \\textrm{ kN} \\]</p>\n<p>The stresses calculated by CBFEM are presented in Fig. 8.1.2.

The comparison was focused on the resistance and the critical component. Studied parameters are size of the column, dimensions of the base plate, concrete grade, and dimensions of the concrete pad. The column cross-sections are HEB 200, HEB 300, and HEB 400. The base plate width and length are chosen as 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm larger than the column section, the base plate thickness 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm. The concrete block from grade C16/20, C25/30, and C35/45 of height 800 mm with width and length larger than the dimensions of the base plate by 200 mm, 300 mm, and 400 mm.

A beam-to-beam joint with end plates and two rows of bolts was selected for verification; see Fig. 5.5.1. The bending stiffness of the joint is high enough to be classified as rigid.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"3ce52eff-f289-4645-b35f-5f9ea6045f21\" data-image-id=\"3ce52eff-f289-4645-b35f-5f9ea6045f21\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/0c86a82e-6c78-42a7-8d5d-ea7f2fd2e33a/05-5-fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"3ce52eff-f289-4645-b35f-5f9ea6045f21\" data-image-id=\"3ce52eff-f289-4645-b35f-5f9ea6045f21\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.5.1 Joint arrangement of bolted beam-to-beam joint}}}\\]</em></p>\n<h3>Analytical model</h3>\n<p>Bolt resistance in interaction of shear and tension is designed according to Tab. 3.4 in chapter 3.6.1 in EN 1993-1-8:2005. A bilinear relation is used. The geometry and the end plate dimensions of the joint are selected to limit the design resistance of the joint by bolt failure. The design resistance of equivalent T-stub in tension is modeled according to Tab. 6.2 in chapter 6.2.4 in EN 1993‑1‑8:2005.</p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>Parameters of the model are a bolt diameter and a beam dimension; see Figs 5.5.2 to 5.5.5. Dimensions of the end plate and the bolt distances are modified to limit the joint resistance by the bolt failure. The shear and bending resistance of the joint is compared in loading at the bolt failure. The results are summarised in Tab. 5.5.1 and 5.5.2.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"45f7a87c-ccf3-4aeb-9e3e-5363be0d661a\" data-image-id=\"45f7a87c-ccf3-4aeb-9e3e-5363be0d661a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/a95d0905-ddce-4374-937d-e2848c651d60/chapter_5_4___res_5_4___Sensitivity_study_for_resistance_in_bending_with_variation_of_bolt_diameter.png\" data-asset-id=\"45f7a87c-ccf3-4aeb-9e3e-5363be0d661a\" data-image-id=\"45f7a87c-ccf3-4aeb-9e3e-5363be0d661a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.5.2 Sensitivity study for resistance in bending with variation of bolt diameter}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d7788e27-3b06-4acb-8250-e7ec09fdedb0\" data-image-id=\"d7788e27-3b06-4acb-8250-e7ec09fdedb0\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/4776fab2-2355-40d7-9a4e-fa26accb93c8/chapter_5_4___res_5_4_2___Sensitivity_study_for_resistance_in_bending_with_variation_of_beam_dimension.png\" data-asset-id=\"d7788e27-3b06-4acb-8250-e7ec09fdedb0\" data-image-id=\"d7788e27-3b06-4acb-8250-e7ec09fdedb0\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.5.3 Sensitivity study for resistance in bending with variation of beam dimension}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"d1b9e5d0-b42a-4572-9468-2ecd4bf0942c\" data-image-id=\"d1b9e5d0-b42a-4572-9468-2ecd4bf0942c\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/d4534857-d48b-4505-8ed2-17328dc85612/chapter_5_4___res_5_4___Sensitivity_study_for_resistance_in_shear_with_variation_of_bolt_diameter.png\" data-asset-id=\"d1b9e5d0-b42a-4572-9468-2ecd4bf0942c\" data-image-id=\"d1b9e5d0-b42a-4572-9468-2ecd4bf0942c\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.5.4 Sensitivity study for resistance in shear with variation of bolt diameter}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"3018722d-371a-4c8d-89ae-06812016c4f5\" data-image-id=\"3018722d-371a-4c8d-89ae-06812016c4f5\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/32dedea2-c625-40ee-9ede-2b48beb1534a/chapter_5_4___res_5_4_2___Sensitivity_study_for_resistance_in_shear_with_variation_of_beam_dimension.png\" data-asset-id=\"3018722d-371a-4c8d-89ae-06812016c4f5\" data-image-id=\"3018722d-371a-4c8d-89ae-06812016c4f5\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Fig. 5.5.5 Sensitivity study for resistance in shear with variation of beam dimension}}}\\]</em></p>\n<p><em>Tab. 5.5.1 Sensitivity study for resistance with variation of bolt diameter</em></p>\n<table><tbody>\n <tr><td>Parameter</td><td> </td><td> </td><td>AM</td><td> </td><td>CBFEM</td><td> </td><td>AM/CBFEM</td><td><br></td></tr>\n <tr><td>Beam;

In CBFEM, the design resistance is limited by reaching 5 % of strain or a force corresponding to 3 % <em>d</em><em><sub>0</sub></em> joint deformation, where <em>d</em><em><sub>0</sub></em> is chord diameter.

The study is prepared for size of the column, geometry, and thickness of base plate. In the study, five components are examined: column flange and web in compression, concrete in compression including grout, base plate in bending, anchors in tension, and welds. All components are designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005, EN 1992‑1‑1:2005, and EN 1992‑4.</p>\n<h2>Verification of resistance</h2>\n<p>An example of component method design is shown on the anchorage of column steel section HEB 240:</p>\n<p>Concrete block has dimensions <em>a'</em> = 1000 mm, <em>b'</em> = 1500 mm, <em>h</em> = 900 mm and grade C20/25. Base plate dimensions are <em>a </em>= 330 mm, <em>b</em> = 440 mm, <em>t</em> = 20 mm and steel grade is S235. Anchor bolts are 4 × M20, <em>A</em><sub>s</sub> = 245 mm<sup>2</sup>, length 300 mm, with head diameter <em>a</em> = 60 mm and steel grade 8.8. Grout thickness is 30 mm.</p>\n<p>The results of the analytical solution may be presented on an interaction diagram with distinctive significant points. Point −1 represents loading in pure tension, and point 4 represents the compression bearing resistance. Detailed description of points 0, 1, 2, and 3 is shown in Fig. 8.2.1; see (Wald, 1995) and (Wald et al. 2008).</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"faec6161-40a2-4728-b611-37ba47b75312\" data-image-id=\"faec6161-40a2-4728-b611-37ba47b75312\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/310165bd-092d-4d96-a1b4-97a24b646dfb/08-2-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"faec6161-40a2-4728-b611-37ba47b75312\" data-image-id=\"faec6161-40a2-4728-b611-37ba47b75312\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.2.1 Significant points on interaction diagram</em></p>\n<p>The stress distribution for point 0 and 3 reached by CBFEM is displayed in Fig. 8.2.2 and 8.2.3. </p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"39f0617b-1eb2-480e-a372-95d6635c993e\" data-image-id=\"39f0617b-1eb2-480e-a372-95d6635c993e\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e064d65a-3440-48fa-bac9-d09a168c7b22/08-2-Fig2.png\" data-asset-id=\"39f0617b-1eb2-480e-a372-95d6635c993e\" data-image-id=\"39f0617b-1eb2-480e-a372-95d6635c993e\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.2.2 Stress in concrete and forces in anchors for point 0 obtained by CBFEM (deform. scale 10)</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"6fbefb3a-0052-45fc-a406-3a049a164a77\" data-image-id=\"6fbefb3a-0052-45fc-a406-3a049a164a77\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/3e94f276-e137-42e7-bca3-0cb1b45bb580/08-2-Fig3.png\" data-asset-id=\"6fbefb3a-0052-45fc-a406-3a049a164a77\" data-image-id=\"6fbefb3a-0052-45fc-a406-3a049a164a77\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.2.3 Stress in concrete and forces in anchors for point 3 obtained by CBFEM <br>\n(deform. scale 10)</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"58b9d5ed-e8e0-44ac-af6e-bb2911e5e143\" data-image-id=\"58b9d5ed-e8e0-44ac-af6e-bb2911e5e143\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/84f32d85-04e1-4408-90ef-4c48a2393a13/08-2-Fig4.png\" data-asset-id=\"58b9d5ed-e8e0-44ac-af6e-bb2911e5e143\" data-image-id=\"58b9d5ed-e8e0-44ac-af6e-bb2911e5e143\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.2.4 Comparison of models on interaction diagram</em></p>\n<p>The comparison of interaction diagram obtained by CBFEM to interaction diagram calculated according to CM is presented in Fig. 8.2.4 and Tab. 8.2.1.</p>\n<p><em>Tab. 8.2.1 Comparison of results of interaction diagram for HEB 240 by analytic solution and by CBFEM</em></p>\n<table><tbody>\n <tr><td><br></td><td>Analytical solution</td><td><br></td><td>Results of CBFEM</td><td><br></td></tr>\n <tr><td><br></td><td>Axial force [kN]</td><td>Bending resistance [kNm]</td><td>Axial force [kN]</td><td>Bending resistance [kNm]</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point -1</td><td>169</td><td>0</td><td>150</td><td>0</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point 0</td><td>0</td><td>45</td><td>0</td><td>37</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point 1</td><td>−564</td><td>103</td><td>−564</td><td>98</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point 2</td><td>−708</td><td>108</td><td>−708</td><td>111</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point 3</td><td>−853</td><td>103</td><td>−853</td><td>101</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Point 4</td><td>−1700</td><td>0</td><td>−1683</td><td>0</td></tr>\n</tbody></table>\n<h3>Sensitivity study</h3>\n<p>The results of CBFEM were compared with the results of the component method. The comparison was made by bending moment resistance for the given level of normal force for each of the interaction diagram points.</p>\n<p>In the sensitivity study, size of the column, dimensions of the base plate, and dimensions of concrete pad were changed. The selected column cross-sections were HEB 200, HEB 300, and HEB 400. The base plate width and length was chosen 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm larger than the column section; the base plate thickness was 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm. The concrete pad was from grade C25/30.

A fin plate is welded to open section column HEB. The height of the fin plate is changed from 150 to 300 mm. The plate/weld is loaded by normal and shear force and bending moment.</p>\n<h2>Analytical model</h2>\n<p>The fillet weld is the only component examined in the study. The welds are designed to be the weakest component in the joint according to Chapter 4 in EN 1993-1-8:2005.

The comparison is presented in Tab. 4.3.2. The study is performed for one parameter: length of the weld, i.e. height of the fin plate, and three load cases: normal and shear force and bending moment. The shear force is applied in a weld plane to neglect the effect of an additional bending. The bending moment is applied at the end of the fin plate. The influence of the weld length on the design resistance of the fin plate joints loaded by the normal and shear force are shown in Fig. 4.3.2. The relation between the weld length and the bending moment resistance of the joint is shown in Fig. 4.3.3.</p>\n<p><em>\\[ \\textsf{\\textit{\\footnotesize{Tab. 4.3.2 Comparison of CBFEM and CM}}}\\]</em></p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"e82ca256-7a78-431d-a9f6-5ce136808ebb\" data-image-id=\"e82ca256-7a78-431d-a9f6-5ce136808ebb\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/876742ad-5f3d-41c2-911b-7990446400f2/4.3.png\" data-asset-id=\"e82ca256-7a78-431d-a9f6-5ce136808ebb\" data-image-id=\"e82ca256-7a78-431d-a9f6-5ce136808ebb\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p>The results of CBFEM and CM are compared, and the sensitivity study is presented.

The column is stiffened with two horizontal stiffeners in levels of the beam flanges. Compressed plates, e.g. horizontal stiffeners of column, web panel in shear or compression, and compressed beam flange, are designed as cross-section class 3. Horizontal beam is 6 m long loaded by continuous load over the entire length.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ef68e634-715b-4de8-98b7-c73a5773e8d2\" data-image-id=\"ef68e634-715b-4de8-98b7-c73a5773e8d2\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/e45ec4da-260e-452b-a414-cdfaf0279079/09-2-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"ef68e634-715b-4de8-98b7-c73a5773e8d2\" data-image-id=\"ef68e634-715b-4de8-98b7-c73a5773e8d2\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 9.2.1 Bolted portal frame eaves connection</em></p>\n<h3>Analytical model</h3>\n<p>Eight components are examined: fillet weld, web panel in shear, column web in transverse compression, column web in transverse tension, beam flange in compression and tension, column flange in bending, end plate in bending, and bolts. All components are designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005. Design loads of components depend on the position. The web panel in shear is loaded by design loads on the vertical axis of the column. Other components are loaded by reduced design loads in column flange to which horizontal beam is connected.</p>\n<h4>Fillet weld</h4>\n<p>The weld is closed around the whole cross-section of the beam. The thickness of the weld on the flanges can differ from the thickness of the weld on the web. Vertical shear force is transferred only by welds on the web and plastic stress distribution is considered. Bending moment is transferred by whole weld shape, and elastic stress distribution is considered. Effective weld width depending on the horizontal stiffness of the column is considered (because of bending of the unstiffened column flange). Design of the weld is done according to EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 4.5.3.2(6). The assessment is carried out in two major points: on the upper or lower edge of the flange (maximum bending stress) and in the crossing of the flange and the web (combination of shear force and bending moment stresses).</p>\n<h4>Web panel in shear</h4>\n<p>The thickness of the column web is designed to be third class at most; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.1(1). Two contributions to the load capacity are considered: resistance of the column wall in shear and the contribution from the frame behavior of the column flanges and horizontal stiffeners; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.1 (6.7 and 6.8).</p>\n<h4>Column web in transverse compression or tension</h4>\n<p>Effect of the interaction of the shear load is considered; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.2 and Tab. 6.3. Influence of longitudinal stress in the wall of the column is considered; see EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6.2(2). Horizontal stiffeners prevent buckling and are included in the load capacity of this component with the effective area.</p>\n<h4>Beam flange in compression</h4>\n<p>The horizontal beam is designed to be maximally third class.</p>\n<h4>Column flange or end plate in bending</h4>\n<p>Effective lengths for circular and noncircular failures are considered according to EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.6. Three modes of collapse according to EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 6.2.4.1 are considered.</p>\n<h4>Bolts</h4>\n<p>Bolts are designed according to EN 1993-1-8:2005, Cl. 3.6.1. Design resistance considers punching shear resistance and rupture of the bolt.</p>\n<h3>Numerical design model</h3>\n<p>T-stub is modeled by 4-node shell elements as described in Chapter 3 and summarized further. Every node has 6 degrees of freedom. Deformations of the element consist of membrane and flexural contributions. Nonlinear elastic-plastic material status is investigated in each layer of integration point. Assessment is based on the maximum strain given according to EN 1993-1-5:2006 by value of 5 %. Bolts are divided into three sub-components. The first is the bolt shank, which is modeled as a nonlinear spring and caries tension only. The second sub-component transmits tensile force into the flanges. The third sub-component solves shear transmission.</p>\n<h3>Global behavior</h3>\n<p>Comparison of the global behavior of the joint, described by moment-rotation diagrams for both design procedures mentioned above, was done. Attention was focused on the main characteristics of the moment-rotation diagram: initial stiffness, design resistance, and deformation capacity. Beam IPE 330 is connected to column HEB 300 using extended end plate with 5 rows of the bolts M24 8.8. The results of both design procedures are shown in the graph in Fig. 9.2.2 and in Tab. 9.2.1. CM generally gives higher initial stiffness compared to CBFEM. CBFEM gives slightly higher design resistance compared to CM in all cases, as shown in Chapter 9.2.5. The difference is up to 10%. Deformation capacity is also compared. Deformation capacity was calculated according to (Beg et al. 2004) because EC3 provides limited background for deformation capacity of endplate joints.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"7ae9eebe-cf16-40d4-91d1-6304cf2a3ebc\" data-image-id=\"7ae9eebe-cf16-40d4-91d1-6304cf2a3ebc\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/f2c58e8a-9bd0-4edf-93cf-bee30c6a8c17/09-2-Fig2.png\" data-asset-id=\"7ae9eebe-cf16-40d4-91d1-6304cf2a3ebc\" data-image-id=\"7ae9eebe-cf16-40d4-91d1-6304cf2a3ebc\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 9.2.2 Moment-rotation diagram</em></p>\n<p><em>Tab. 9.2.1 Global behavior overview</em></p>\n<table><tbody>\n <tr><td><br></td><td><br></td><td>CM</td><td>CBFEM</td><td>CM/CBFEM</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Initial stiffness</td><td>[kNm/rad]</td><td>67400</td><td>112000</td><td>0,60</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Design resistance</td><td>[kNm]</td><td>204</td><td>199</td><td>0,98</td></tr>\n <tr><td>Deformation capacity</td><td>[mrad]</td><td>242</td><td>47</td><td>5,14</td></tr>\n</tbody></table>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>Design resistance calculated by CBFEM was compared with the results of the component method in the next step. The comparison was focused on the resistance and also the critical component. The study was performed for the column cross-section parameter. Beam IPE 330 is connected to the column by extended endplate with 5 bolt rows. Bolts M24 8.8 are used. The dimensions of the end plate P15 with bolt end distances and spacing in millimeters are the height 450 (50-103-75-75-75-73) and the width 200 (50-100-50). The outer edge of the upper flange is 91 mm from the edge of the end plate. Beam flanges are connected to the end plate with welds with the throat thickness of 8 mm. The beam web is connected with the weld throat thickness of 5 mm. The column is stiffened with horizontal stiffeners opposite to beam flanges. The Stiffeners are 15 mm thick, and their width corresponds to the column width. The thickness of the end plate stiffener is 10 mm, and its width is 90 mm.

The preloading force is taken at 70 % of the ultimate strength of a bolt according to equation (3.7).</p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>Design resistances calculated by CBFEM are compared with the results of analytical model (AM); see (Wald et al. 2018). The results are summarized in Tab. 5.5.1.

A compressed column is designed as at least class 3 cross-section. The sensitivity study is prepared for the size of the column, the dimension of the base plate, concrete grade, and the dimension of the concrete block. Four components are activated: the column flange and web in compression, the concrete in compression including grout, the anchor bolt in tension, and welds. This study is mainly focused on two components: concrete in compression including grout and anchor bolt in tension.</p>\n<figure data-asset-id=\"ded093b3-e178-414e-bcfd-95b78c37e10a\" data-image-id=\"ded093b3-e178-414e-bcfd-95b78c37e10a\"><img src=\"https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/28eac049-c8ed-00e2-220c-12142a968dff/5c1e0e15-c3b6-433c-afa9-4712e13a3ca6/08-4-Fig1.png\" data-asset-id=\"ded093b3-e178-414e-bcfd-95b78c37e10a\" data-image-id=\"ded093b3-e178-414e-bcfd-95b78c37e10a\" alt=\"\"></figure>\n<p><em>Fig. 8.4.1 Significant points of multilinear interaction diagram of square hollow section</em></p>\n<h3>Verification of resistance</h3>\n<p>In the following example, the column from square hollow section SHS 150×16 is connected to the concrete block with the area dimensions <em>a'</em> = 750 mm, <em>b'</em> = 750 mm and height <em>h</em> = 800 mm from concrete grade C20/25 by the base plate <em>a</em> = 350 mm, <em>b</em> = 350 mm, <em>t</em> = 20 mm from steel grade S420.
