Abstract

To comprehensively analyze the seismic performance and failure modes of edge joint, which is composed of T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular column and H-shaped steel beam, the joint was imposed through low frequency cycling loading. Model of edge joint was established by the nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS. The effect of different parameters, such as axial compression ratio and side plate extension length, on the seismic performance were simulated. The results indicates that the buckling of the steel beam occurs at the lateral extension of the side plate due to the strengthening of the side plate; the axial compression ratio has no obvious effect on the ultimate load; the increase of the side plate length can effectively improve the ultimate load.
