Over the years, the usual way of dealing with this problem has been through the use of simplified loadcases and experience, through hand calculation or spreadsheets. A short time ago, there was no legal need to validate dozens or even hundreds of load combinations, and safety factors were higher than they are today. Currently, there are more design restricti

ons, and safety factors have been reduced, making design accuracy a crucial aspect. The traditional way of designing connections can be useful in certain situations, but nowadays we face more complex designs. When the structure is measured using a bar model, a detailed model of the connections within the structure is not created. To design the connection correctly, users must generate a connection model that respects the actual layout of the connection and also considers the forces applied on the ends of the elements within the connection which are obtained from the resolution of the structure design. Through the use of the Finite Element analysis, it is possible to address this issue with greater efficiency and accuracy. CYPE Connect Steel is a tool that allows users to generate models of steel structure connections based on Finite Elements including their analysis and verification according to standard requirements, with minimal or no user intervention, using the world-renowned Finit

e Element software, OpenSees [1], as its calculation engine. In the finite element models generated by CYPE Connect Steel, three main elements are recognised: plates, welds, and bolts. Plates are all the flat elements (the thickness dimension is much smaller than other dimensions) that are involved in the structural model of a connection, such as, the flat elements making up the steel sections, the plates that are used for bolted connections, stiffeners, etc. In figure 1.1, a comparison between the real geometric model of the connection and the discretised model of the connection can be observed. This plate model will be described in more detail in section 1.2. The bolts and welds make up the model’s connection elements and their characteristics will be described in more detail in sections 1.3 and 1.4.

lements. 1.2 Plate model In structures that have a relatively smaller thickness than the rest of the dimensions, as is the case of the plates forming steel structures, Shell elements are a good solution (section 29.6.1 in [2]). The used element will be a three-node triangular Shell element NLDKGT [3]. These elements consider membrane behaviour (plane stress, compression, shear, and torsional moment) and plate behaviour (out of plane moment). In a non-linear range, plate behaviour is modelled using layered sections. Plate thickness is divided into a number of layers (5 in this case) where the problem to be solved is plane stress. Bending moment analysis is carried out by adding the effects of each layer and it is no longer possible to consider that the stresses in plate thickness are obtained by adding the effects of the membrane and the bending behaviour as it would occur in a linear analysis (section 9.2.4 in [4]). For finite elements, in order to analyse the necessary integrals, if

material nonlinearity is activated, numerical integration techniques are used. If material nonlinearity is activated, the numerical integration necessary to calculate the stiffness matrix is not performed exclusively on the surface (where the Gauss points are used) but is also performed on the thickness. This plate model will be used for discretising flat elements making up the steel sections and for discretising other plates intervening in the structural model, such as the plates used to make bolted connections or stiffeners. In short, this plate model will be used for discretising any flat element intervening in the structural model of the connection. CYPE Connect Steel – CALCULATION REPORT / 4 The most common material diagrams used in modelling structural steel finite elements are the ideal plastic models or the ideal elastic models with hardening due to deformation. The constitutive law selected for plates and sections will be a bilinear constitutive law with a slope in the p

lastic section tan−1 (E/1000). Figure 1.2. Constitutive law of steel plates [5]. 1.3 Welds Welds are one of the connector elements in connections. There are many options for modelling welds. A widely used option for modelling welds, which is the one used in CYPE Connect Steel, is the direct connection between plates to be welded by means of force-deformation constraints, also known as Multi Point Constraints. The technique for modelling welds using rigid links was suggested by Fayard and Bignonnet (1996) [6] and is based on modelling the local rigidity of the welded connections connecting two adjacent Shell elements through their nodes across the entire length of the weld. Using rigid links for modelling welds can be found in many scientific documents such as [7], [8], [9], and [10]. In CYPE Connect Steel, the nodes on the end of the surface to be welded are perpendicularly projected onto the surface to which they are welded. The rigid links connect each one of the nodes at the en

d of the surface to be welded and the projected nodes. Furthermore, these projected nodes are linked using MPC with the surrounding nodes considering the interpolation functions of the deformation field of the element onto which the node is projected. By applying this method, the throat thickness of the weld is respected as well as the weld’s actual configuration. The main advantage of this method is that it allows meshes of different densities to be connected. In image 1.3, the modelling of the weld using rigid elements and MPC in CYPE Connect Steel can be observed. CYPE Connect Steel – CALCULATION REPORT / 5 Figure 1.3.

shear behaviour will be used to model the behaviour of the bolt thread. The initial rigidities will be obtained from the corresponding standard. For modelling the elastoplastic tensile behaviour of the thread, a bilinear material law is used which is based on stress-strain curve for bolts proposed in different research studies such as [11], where the last stress is produced for a deformation of 5%. The bilinear law of this behaviour can be seen in figure 1.4. Figure 1.4. Stress-strain of the bolt diagram [11]. CYPE Connect Steel – CALCULATION REPORT / 6 This model of the bolt thread using spring-type elements with stiffnesses obtained from standards can also be found in other scientific documents such as section 7.5 in [4]. Below is an example of the equations representing these bilinear laws applying the stiffnesses found in the Eurocode.

described below. The transmission behaviour for tensile forces to the plate is modelled using rigid links between the node from the centre of a hole and the nodes from the outer octagon that transmit tensile forces in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the connected plates In figure 1.7, the connection between these two interpolation links with nodes from the plate is represented.

CYPE Connect Steel – CALCULATION REPORT / 9 1.4.3 Support behaviour Support behaviour is modelled using links between the node inside the opening and nodes on the edge of the opening. In these links, the support stiffness of the bolt in the plate is considered. This meshing can be observed in figure 1.8. Figure 1.8.

is four times the axial stiffness of each of these elements (section 10.3.3 in [4]). This means that whatever the direction of the force applied to the central node common to all eight elements, the apparent stiffness will always be four times the axial stiffness of a radial element. Considering that these eight elements only work in compression, as is the case for CYPE Connect Steel, the stiffness of each radius, as described in section 10.3.3 in [4], would be: k N = 0,5k where k is the support stiffness that is found in different standards.

This node transmits the loads to a second node through an element that simulates the behaviour of the thread, and this second node transmits these loads to nodes on the second plate. This way of transmitting loads between plates through node-to-node connections can be found in many scientific documents such as in [4], [14], [15], [16], [17] o [18]. 1.5 Contact Contact behaviour between connected components is carried out by including connection elements between nodes that only work in compression with greater stiffness. If the meshing is not compliant, the nodes are projected from one surface to another in a perpendicular direction to the surfaces and the different degrees of freedom usi

The nodes are connected to their corresponding projected nodes and only the elements working in compression are included (figure 1.9) with highly elevated stiffnesses, avoiding proximity between nodes.

Connected members connect to the bearing element and lack external fixity. Loads are applied to these elements. Loads When the structure is analysed by means of a bar model, a detailed model of the connections that make up the structure is not made. If a connection’s point is analysed in this type of model, the resulting force in said connection is zero because the model is balanced. To design the join in a correct way, it is necessary to generate a connecting model that respects the actual layout of the connection, also considering the forces that are applied on each end of the members that make up the connection which are obtained from the resolution of the structure’s analysis.
