However, unlike VecTor2 program, implicit version of ANSYS program is not able to properly model the cyclic behavior of the modeled subassemblies.
Palermo and Vecchio (2003) model with cyclic decay is assigned to concrete in order to model the hysteretic behavior of beam column subassemblies in this study.
In order to characterize the tensile behavior of the rebars welded to steel plate representing the rebar-plate connection subassembly in the test specimens, tensile test was performed on 18 mm diameter reinforcing bars welded from both sides to PL plate (St 37 steel) as shown in Fig. 2a.
This paper presents an experimental and computational study on the behavior of two composite subassemblies under a column removal scenario.
The partner companies perform much of the subassembly in their own factories; for instance, wings for all Airbus aircraft are made in the United Kingdom, and tail subassemblies are made in Spain.
The coolant sodium flows from the bottom of the subassembly to top and the design of the subassembly for each flow zone is quite complex.
Due to the rectangular shape of the beam column subassembly, only the rectangular concrete element is used for the finite element modeling of the subassembly.
on the seismic behavior of the SC frame is experimentally examined, and it is observed that the frame subassembly performed well up to a 2.5% drift with only minor damage in concrete cover of the beam, and the column remained damage free.
To investigate the cyclic behavior of the PT column base connection, a series of PT column base connection subassemblies were subjected to axial load and cyclic lateral displacements.
The load displacement curves, shear behavior of the joint core, strength and stiffness degradations, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, deformation characteristics, etc. of the test subassemblies are analyzed.
