A Review on Analysis of Steel Beam-Column Joint

Abstract

In this paper broad review has been carried out in order to evaluate the steel beam-column joint for various connection. The steel beam-column joint is ideally pinned or fully rigid. The semi rigid connections are subjected to moment rotation relationship joint of structure. The behavior of beam-column joints in steel frames can be represented by its flexural/bending behavior which is primarily shown by the moment–rotation relationship. During the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on the analysis and design of steel frames with semi-rigid connections. The stiffness’s of various typical connections such as the T-stub, the end-plate, the top and seated angle, the angle web etc. The conventional stiffness matrix method of analysis is extended to cover a more general case of the vibration of frames with semi-rigid connections and under the action of dynamic loads. Steel frame structures perform an efficient role in bearing various live, snow, wind, earthquake and crane loads in gabled frame. Connections are subjected to axial, shear forces bending moments. Bolted end-plate connections have been widely used for beam to column joints in steel portal frames. Conventional analysis and design of steel portal frames are fully rigid. Such idealized joint behavior great simplifies the analysis and design process, but the predicted response of the idealized structure maybe quite unrealistic compares to the response of actual structure. The end-plate connection exhibits semi-rigid behavior.
