Abstract |
Many experiments have been performed to investigate eccentric shear strength and unbalanced moment-carrying capacity of flat plate-column connections under combined gravity and lateral load. However, each existing experiment used different test setup, and the shear strength of the connection was different depending on the test setup. Current design methods which were based on the experimental results might not accurately explain the shear strength of the flat plate. In a companion study, based on results of nonlinear finite element analyses, an alternative design method for the plate-column connection was developed. However, in this method, eccentric shear strength of the connection which was required for assessing unbalanced moment-carrying capacity was evaluated by an empirical formula. In the present study, a theoratical approach using Rankine's failure criterion was attemped to investigate failure mechanism of the eccentric shear. Based on the results, an improved strength model of the eccentric shear was developed, and it was verified by comparison with the existing experimental results. By means of the strength model, the design method developed in the companion study was re-verified.
