Abstract:

In this paper, the seismic performance of the structure is analyzed by introducing a new angular knee element. Cyclic loads are applied to determine the seismic performance. The result is compared with a vertical knee element. The angular knee element showed better seismic performance as compared to the vertical knee element. The new short knee element studied in two positions including 1- a vertical knee element perpendicular to cross-brace is called VSKE 2- An angular knee element that is called ASKE. Using reduced knee section specimens for better performance. Effect of Angular knee element in knee-braced frames (KBFs) under Cyclic Loading was investigated by testing using a half scale specimen mounted on a reaction frame at two positions including horizontally for VSKE and inclined for ASKE. For experimental tests, specimens were loaded by using a hydraulic actuator. Finite element modelling was used for the simulation of detailed behavior using a verified experiment base model. It has been shown that the performance of knee element fuses can improve the ductile behavior of knee braced frames. Based on the results of vertical and angular cases, it has been shown that an increase of angle between main cross brace and short knee element (incline specimen) can reduce maximum equivalent plastic strain (EPEQ) in the web of knee element fuse.
