This paper presents a novel beam-column connection for steel moment resisting frames
in which the post-tensioning forces provide the ability of self-centering under earthquake
and the bottom flange friction device(BFFD)
located at beam ends
provides the energy dissipation.The operation principle and constitution of the BFFD connection are presented.Based on the low cyclic test results of the BFFD connection
a numerical model is established by using the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) to model the hysteretic behavior of the BFFD connection
including the gap opening/closing
self-centering
friction energy dissipation and the bolt bearing
etc.Comparison between the numerical simulation and the experiment results shows that the proposed numerical model can accurately simulate the hysteretic behavior of the BFFD connection.
