Canadian Seismic Design of Steel Structures - Bolted Stiffened End Plate Connection
DESCRIPTION
- The bolted stiffened end plate connection is a special moment-resisting connection for seismic applications. - The probable yield strength of the beams and columns is usually taken as 350 MPa. - The minimum tensile strength of the beams and columns is usually taken as 480 MPa. - Factor applied to probable yield strength is usually taken as 1.1. - The probable yield strength of the plate is usually taken as 250 MPa. - The end plate thickness must be less or equal than the column flange thickness. - Variables related to end plate dimensions and bolt distribution are defined in the figure above. - Specify whether the connection to be designed is one-sided ("1") or two-sided ("2"). - Specify the height of the storeys above and below, and whether the base of the column below is "pinned" or "not pinned". - The storey height above the connection must be set to zero if it is a top level connection. - Specify whether the frame is ductile ("D"), moderately ductile ("MD") or limited ductile ("LD"). - A simple plastic analysis is first performed to determine shears and moments at critical sections. - Member sizes of the connection are selected in order to preclude seven failure modes. - Sixteen bolts are used in this connection. - Design procedure is in accordance with CAN/CSA S16-01 and FEMA 350. - Limited to connections with beams and columns with W (wide flange) sections. - Enter data in yellow cells.
- Refer to page "B_sections" to see valid sections for beams. - Refer to page "C_sections" to see valid sections for columns. - Refer to page "Bolts" to see minimum pretension values for bolts.

Canadian Seismic Design of Steel Structures - Force reduction factor for friction-damped systems
DESCRIPTION
- A ductility-related force modification factor for friction-damped steel frames is calculated.
- This allows to use the quasi-static analysis approach established in the code to analyze this type of structures. - This method was developed by Yaomin Fu and Sheldon Cherry.
- Refer to figure to define properties of the system. - The damping ratio for steel structures is usually equal to 2%.
- The constant acounting for damping reduction varies between 18 and 65, is usually taken as 30. - Enter data in yellow cells.
