Analytical Study of Column Base Plates under Earthquake Loading, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Maleki, Shervin (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the most important connections in a structure is the column base plate connection. In structures subjected to earthquake loading, this connection is usually where a plastic hinge can develop and therefore is of utmost importance. In this paper, behavior of base plates under monotonic and cyclic loading is investigated. The failure modes, that are one of the fundamental targets in this study include base plate yielding, anchor bolt yielding and also failure arising due to crushing of concrete. A parametric study is conducted using nonlinear finite element analysis. Parametes such as plate thickness, anchor bolt size and location and concrete strength are considered. The desired...
