摘要
The applicability of extended stiffened end plate (ESEP) connections used as link-to-column connections in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) with long (flexural yielding) links is examined in this paper. A finite element method (FEM) is used for this purpose, based on a validated parametric FE benchmark. Analysing the numerical model of an ESEP connection designed to the recent seismic design rules for special moment frames reveals that the link-to-column connections of EBFs sustain more severe conditions than the moment connections of moment-resisting systems. The design approach implemented is examined and the results are discussed. The results demonstrate that ESEP connections can be used as a successful alternative for the link-to-column connections of EBFs and the system with this type of connection can achieve the required rotations for long or flexural links.
