Abstract

In order to study the cross-type rigid steel frame node hysteretic behavior of components, the axial compression ratio, H type steel column web thickness, girder section and stiffener as design parameters, 8 steel frame cross-type rigid joints and a T-type rigid joint are designed.Based on simplified mechanical model and constitutive relations of material, using ABAQUS software the corresponding finite element model is established and the hysteretic performance analysis is carried out.Through comparison between given T-type node test results and analysis results, both are in good agreement, thus the rationality of the finite element model established in this paper is verified.Simulation analysis of cross-type node is developed in further, load -displacement hysteretic curve of nodes, skeleton curve, envelope figure and the stress nephogram are extracted and comparative analysis is conducted, influence regularity of four parameters on the seismic behavior of the joints is obtained.The corresponding design suggestion for the axial compression ratio and column web and flange thickness ratio is proposed, design limit value of axial compression ratio of column should be taken as 0.5 and limit value of column web and flange thickness ratio is taken as 0.75,and these can provide reference for actual engineering design.
