Comportamiento sísmico de una conexión columna tubular - viga H mediante análisis numérico por elementos finitos

Abstract

This research analyzes the seismic behavior of a beam-column connection consisting of two external diaphragms, the upper one joined by welding and the lower one by bolts. This connection is intended to be used in frames with special energy dissipation capacity (SMF), the numerical modeling is calibrated by means of a reference document that serves as a validation of the configuration. Finally, the failure mechanism, energy dissipation and moment capacity provided by the connection mechanism are verified.
