The Effect of Embedding Depth of H-Sections With End-Plates on Their Pull-Out Behavior


Abstract eng:
Connections are one of the essential parts of the Steel Structures, due to their decisive role in the overall behavior of the structures. In addition, several studies of earthquakes show that the most structural damages repeatedly happen in areas where connections are located. Column- foundation joint (Link), is the main type of connection in Steel Structures. Firstly, the importance of Column-foundation joint (Link) connections is due to its main responsibility in transmission of forces of entire structure to the foundation, in which in case of earthquakes, this action can be reversed, as the forces are also transmitted from the foundation to the entire structure. Secondly, Column-foundation joints (Link) are the points of instability in the whole structure during the earthquakes, as well as they affect the entire structure’s behavior. The most common method to design and assemble the steel column-foundation joint is using Tie rods. In addition, as an alternative way for this method, part of the column can be directly placed in the foundation as an embedded object (region). Tie rods are weak in reacting to tension, pull-out, bending, and shear forces, because the embedded columns in concrete with end plates show more strength and power against these forces. Therefore, analyzing the pull-out behavior of columns which are embedded inside the foundation is particularly essential. This paper will discuss the effect of embedding depth of H-Sections with End-plates on their Pull-out behavior. In addition, the numerical models will be generated using Abaqus 6.14-1 finite element software, and the generated analyzation and results will be compared within each other.
