DOIAbstract
Summarization: The article presents a three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element model that was developed for the study of a top and seat angle bolted steel connection with double web angles. Unilateral contact and friction laws were used to simulate the interaction among the connected parts. Large displacements as well as the von Mises failure criterion were also considered for the steel parts and bolts. Numerical results were compared with the experimental research conducted on the same steel joint. This study finds yielding of the top angle as well as shear failure of the bolts connecting the beam bottom flange with the seat angle to be very important for the overall response of the structure. For this reason, a parametric investigation ...
