A mixed formulation frame finite element with internal semi-rigid connections is presented for the nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Proposed element provides accurate responses for spread of inelasticity along element length by monitoring the nonlinear responses of several crosssections, where spread of inelasticity over each section is captured with fiber discretization. Each material point on the section considers inelastic coupling between normal stress and shear stress. The formulation of the element also considers the presence of linear or nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connection behavior without additional nodes and degrees of freedom, thus robustness of element response is maintained. Formulation of the element can include the presence of axial and shear deformations and rotation on localized connection region. For an accurate representation of cyclic behavior of connection regions, a multi-linear model is considered that accounts for strength and stiffness degradation as well as pinching of the hysteresis curves. Nonlinear response of the proposed element is assessed by considering steel framed structures with semi-rigid connections.

Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element Sarıtaş, Afşin (2013-10-01) This paper presents a mixed formulation frame element with the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory for displacement field and that accounts for interaction between shear and normal stress at material level. Nonlinear response of the element is obtained by integration of section response, which in turn is obtained by integration of material response. Satisfaction of transverse equilibrium equations at section includes the interaction between concrete and transverse reinforcing steel. A 3d plastic...
Modeling of the nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connections in steel framed structures and its influence on three dimensional analysis of structural systems Özel, Halil Fırat; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In steel frame structures, introducing the nonlinear force-deformation behavior of frame members with flexible joints will show closer results to the actual behavior. In this thesis, a mixed formulation frame finite element is developed from a nonlinear force-based method that can include localized semi-rigid connection response. The formulation of the element uses the three-fields Hu-Washizu-Barr principle, where displacement shape function approximation is omitted with the use of a force-based approach. T...
Three dimensional frame element formulation for nonlinear analysis of semi rigid steel structures Özel, Halil Fırat; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Karakaş, Zafer (null; 2016-09-21) In this paper, a force-based three-dimensional frame finite element formulation with spread of inelasticity through the element and localized nonlinear semi-rigid connections is developed. The proposed model utilizes Euler-Bernoulli beam theory assumptions, and adopts fiber discretization of monitored sections along element length and section depth for the spread of inelasticity in order to capture axial force and biaxial bending moment interaction. Defining any type of semi-rigid either linear or nonlinear...
Distributed inelasticity planar frame element with localized semi-rigid connections for nonlinear analysis of steel structures Sarıtaş, Afşin (2015-06-01) A macro-element model with spread of inelasticity and localized nonlinear semi-rigid hinges is presented in this paper. The element is formulated through force-based approach. Spread of inelasticity along element length and section depth is captured by fiber discretization of monitoring sections, and introduction of localized connections enable representation of any type of linear or nonlinear semi-rigid (partially restrained) connection behavior along element length without any increase in number of degree...
Finite element modeling approaches and comparative study on the nonlinear behavior of steel shear-links Kızıldağ, Yaşam; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) This study deals with the finite element modeling of the nonlinear behavior of shear links under various loading and boundary conditions. Shear-links are the most important part of an eccentrically braced steel frame system, and provide fuse in terms of reducing the forces acting on the rest of the members such as columns and braces in the framing system. Shear-links are designed for dissipation of large amounts of energy in case of overloading; therefore construction of buildings with eccentrically braced ...
