Abstract

This study evaluates the seismic performance of steel moment-resisting frames through the integration of reduced beam sections (RBS) with externally reinforced cover plates. Three-dimensional finite element analyses under cyclic loading were conducted to assess the influence of cover plates on different RBS geometries, including radius cut (RBSCP-RC), straight cut (RBSCP-SC), tapered cut (RBSCP-TC), and drilled flange (RBSCP-DF). The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of geometric variation on seismic response, moment capacity, and ductility of hybrid RBS–cover plate (RBSCP) connections. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic development and evaluation of a hybrid RBS–cover plate connection that combines the energy dissipation capability of RBS with the strengthening function of cover plates. This configuration is intended to shift plastic hinge formation away from the column face, reduce the risk of premature weld failure, and improve connection strength and energy dissipation. The numerical results indicate that the incorporation of cover plates significantly enhances the seismic performance of RBS connections, with the radius-cut configuration demonstrating the most stable hysteretic behavior and the highest energy dissipation capacity. These findings emphasize the importance of geometric optimization in hybrid RBS–cover plate designs and provide valuable guidance for improving the seismic resilience of steel moment-resisting frames.

Abstract

This study investigates the seismic performance of slit link configurations using wide-flange (WF) sections within eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), addressing the limited application of slit geometries in practical steel construction. The objective is to evaluate the influence of slit shape and width on shear strength, ductility, and energy dissipation, while ensuring damage localization within the link element. Six analytical models were developed, including conventional links (CV and CV-ST) and slit variants (SL-1 to SL-4), and analyzed through nonlinear finite element simulations in ABAQUS under the AISC 341-22 cyclic loading protocol. The analysis focused on stress distribution, hysteretic response, backbone curve stability, and energy dissipation. Results show that conventional links provide higher peak shear strength and energy absorption but transmit stresses into adjacent members, increasing repair complexity. In contrast, slit links confine plastic deformation within the link region, enhancing ductility and repairability at the expense of reduced strength. Among the slit variants, the parabolic slit (SL-4) demonstrated smoother stress redistribution and improved cyclic stability compared to rectangular slits. The novelty of this research lies in embedding slit geometries directly into WF profiles, offering a cost-effective fuse mechanism that bridges theoretical slit damper concepts with real-world EBF applications.
