Finite element analysis of beam-to-column joints in steel frames under cyclic loading

The aim of this paper is to present a simple and accurate three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FE) capable of predicting the actual behavior of beam-to-column joints in steel frames subjected to lateral loads. The software package ANSYS is used to model the joint. The bolted extended-end-pla...
