Numerical Modeling and Evaluation of Steel Frames with Concrete Slab

Abstract eng:
The properties like the rigidity of a frame are very important to predict the dynamic response of the building with any dampers since the effect of dampers in a frame strongly depends on the rigidity of the frame. However, in the case of steel frames to which concrete slabs are attached, the mechanism for the transmission of forces between steel frames and concrete slabs has not been clarified sufficiently and the appropriate numerical model has not established while steel frames without concrete slabs can be accurately simulated recently. The objective in this paper is the establishment of the suitable numerical model to accurately predict the behavior of the damped steel building in the full-size shaking-table test in future. Finally, we examine the validity of the present model in comparison with some experimental results.
