Abstract
Structural damage in buildings designed according to the dissipative philosophy can be
significant, even under moderate earthquakes. epair of damaged members is an
e!pensive operation and may affect building use, "hich in turn increases the overall
economic loss. #f damage can be isolated to certain dissipative members realised to be
easily replaced follo"ing an earthquake, the repair costs and time of interruption of
building use can be reduced. $ccentrically braced frames "ith removable links
connected to the beams using flush%end plate bolted connections are investigated. &igh
strength steel is used for members outside links in order to enhance global seismic
performance of the structure, by constraining plastic deformations to removable links
and reducing permanent drifts of the structure.

1. Introduction
According to modern seismic design codes 4e.g. $6 1227 819, A#S( --/ 895, design
of buildings is carried out for t"o limit states* :ltimate imit State 4:S5 and
Serviceability imit State 4SS5. )"o earthquake ha-.%-./ "ith respect to the :S event5.
For ordinary occupancy buildings, the fundamental requirement at the :S is to assure
life safety of people by avoiding local or global collapse of the structure 819. #n the
design of dissipative structures the behaviour factor q is used to reduce the elastic
response spectrum to the design one. )he components that contribute to the value of the
behaviour factor q are related to structural ductility, redundancy and overstrength. arge
values of 'factor are specified in codes for ductile structures like moment resisting
frames or eccentrically braced frames. Structures designed using large values of
behaviour factor 'are e!pected to e!perience considerable damage under the design
seismic event, making repair of such structures unfeasible technically and economically.
)he primary requirement at the SS is prevention of damage that may result in
limitation of use. Acceptance of SS requirements is accomplished in codes by
imposing limits on interstorey drifts, related to type of non%structural elements 4brittle or
ductile5. (onsidering that drift limits are not related to the structural typology, SS
criteria do not prevent damage 4plastic deformations5 of structural elements. ?hen
considerable structural damage is e!perienced under a moderate earthquake event,

to interruption of use, costs of repair, etc.

)he eccentrically braced frame "as designed according to $6 122 8/9and $6 1227

considered of 1.=- k6m, "hile live load "as .- k6m. Seismic design parameters
"ere* -./g peak ground acceleration, stiff soil conditions 4class A5, a behaviour factor
'> /./, and interstorey drift limitation of -.--0 of the storey height. A short link
4e> -- mm5 "hose behaviour is governed by shear only "as considered. (apacity
design according to $6 1227 governed dimensioning of non%dissipative members.
&$B0- S// columns, #C$- S// beams in the outer bays, #C$- S/ links and
beams in the middle bay, and &S 1-!1-!4=.1%1./5 S/ "ere obtained.
#n the e!perimental model, the removable link "as fabricated from #C$- profile of
S/ grade steel, "hile the rest of elements from S// grade steel. Four link lengths
"ere considered 4e > --, --, /-- and 0-- mm5, to study the influence of moment to
shear force ratio. All links "ere classified as short ones according to A#S( --/ 89.
Another parameter considered "as the spacing of "eb stiffeners, provided to prevent
"eb buckling and to improve rotation capacity of the link. )"o limit values of stiffener
spacing "ere considered according A#S( --/ 89* EcloseE spacing % -t(%h/, specified
for a rotation capacity -.-7 rad, and ErareE spacing % /t(%h/, specified for -.- rad
rotation capacity. For each combination of link length and stiffener spacing, three
specimens "ere tested* one monotonically and t"o cyclically, follo"ing the complete
$((S 127/ 809procedure. Bolts "ere preloaded to 1-- of the full preload value for

4c5. A total of specimens "ere thus obtained, see )able 1.
)he yield force )yand displacementDy, "ere determined from the force%displacement

intersection of the initial stiffness line and the tangent to the shear force % link

apply cyclic loading to the specimens of the same length. )he cyclic tests consisted of
four cycles in the elastic range 4-./Dy, -./Dy, -.=/Dyand 1.-Dy5, follo"ed by
groups of three cycles at amplitudes multiple of Dy4!Dy, !Dy, !0Dy, etc.5
)he loading "as applied quasi%statically, in displacement control.
Crevious e!perimental research by Dubina et al. 8=9 on e!tended end%plate beam%column
@oints in moment resisting frames sho"ed a series of problems that undermined their
cyclic performance* 415 fillet "elds are inappropriate in the case of cyclic loading; 45
full%penetration 1H "eld "ith the root at the e!terior part of the beam cross%section
promotes fragile ruptures, due to cracks initiated at "eld root; 45 "eld%access hole acts
as a stress concentrator, causing brittle ruptures of the beam flange. ?elding details

performance mentioned above. )hus, link flange "as "elded to the end plate "ith a

2.3. Behaviour of specimens

For classical links, the distortion is determined as the difference of end displacements

Jeasured mechanical characteristics of steel sho"ed higher increase of plastic shear
force in comparison "ith plastic moment, "hich caused a decrease of the 1.0My/)ylimit.
$ven so, the links are classified as short. At the same time, ma!imum shear force and
moment used for connection design are considerably higher than the initial estimates
based on nominal characteristics. (onnection strength "as checked using estimates of
ma!imum forces determined from measured geometrical and mechanical
characteristics, considering a partial safety factor M0>1.- for the connection. esults
indicated that the connection should have responded in the elastic range, though "ith
little reserve for the longer = and &= specimens. &o"ever, at large displacements,
both bolt failures and end%plate deformations "ere observed during the tests. )"o types

"hich results in a brittle response.
Bolted connections had important contributions to the overall link response and in
general did not sho"ed an elastic response. (onnection suffered important degradations
at the = and &= specimens, and caused a pronounced pinching effect "ith a reduced
energy dissipation capacity 4see Figure /5. $lement degradation started by bending of
the end plate and bolt thread stripping, follo"ed by local buckling of link flanges and
"eb. (loser stiffener spacing had as main effect isolation of local flange and "eb
buckling in outer "eb panels. Failure "as attained by complete degradation of bolt
threads.
Smaller length of 0 and &0 specimens reduced the damage to connections and the
pinching behaviour. Failure "as attained by complete damage to bolts 4see Figure =a5,
but also by "eb cracking after repeated plastic "eb buckling in the case of 0%c
specimen, "ith rare stiffeners.
Starting "ith / and &/ specimens, connections "ere characterised by a more stable
response, plastic "eb buckling being more important and preceding the one of the
flanges. Failure of /%c1 and /%c specimens, "ith rare stiffeners, "as attained by
tearing of the "eb on three edges, at the cracks initiated in the base metal at the "eb%
stiffener and "eb%end plate "elds. (loser stiffener spacing in the case of &/%c1 and
&/%c specimens reduced "eb tearing due to severe and repeated buckling 4but did not
eliminate it completely5 and failure "as attained by damage of the connection.

"ith the e!ception of the first tested =%m, all other specimens e!perienced slip during
the test. (onnection slip "as larger in the case of cyclic loading and partial preload of

according to 809, "hich underestimates it for high initial stiffness. Kn the other hand,
e!perimental ma!imum force presents an increase from the longer to the shorter links

)he ma!imum moment determined from equation "as lo"er than the theoretical one
used to design the connections. Coor performance of connections could be e!plained by
the fact that vertical displacement in the e!perimental set%up "as constrained, "hich
generated supplementary tension in the connections at large displacements. Follo"ing
the e!perimental observations in this study, in order to reduce damage in bolted
connections, it is recommended to limit the length of bolted links to y ye -.7 J H ,
"hich corresponds to links and &.

e!ception of and & specimens. ?ith the e!ception of longer links "ith rare
stiffeners 4=5, specimens sho"ed a stable deformation capacity of at least -.1 rad,

rotation capacity, "hile closer spacing of stiffeners improved link deformation capacity.

may be difficult to control this response in practice, due to variability of mechanical
steel characteristics.
$!perimental tests demonstrated e!cellent plastic deformation capacities under cyclic
loading and ductile failure modes 4ultimate shear deformation of -.11%-.1 rad5. #n
order to limit damage to the connections, shorter links are recommended. )here are
several sources of link deformation* shear deformation, bending deformation, end plate
rotation and progressive slip in bolted connection. )he most convenient "ay to account
for these effects is by considering equivalent link stiffness. )he average stiffness of

#n order to assess seismic performance of eccentrically braced frames "ith removable
links, a medium rise structure "as investigated as a case study. )he building has !
bays of 0 m each, and 7 storeys 4see Figure 75. All storeys are ./ m, e!cept the first

$6 12275. A k6mdead load on the typical floor and ./ k6mfor the roof "ere
considered, "hile the live load amounted .- k6m. )he building location "as
considered as Bucharest, characterised by -.g design peak ground acceleration and
soft soil conditions "ith control period TC>1.0 s. A behaviour factor '>0, and
interstorey drift limitation of -.--7 of the storey height "ere considered in design.

#n assessing the potential benefits of using &igh Strength Steel 4&SS5, different steel
grades "ere used for members. )he reference structure, denoted as B, used mild carbon
steel 4grade S/5 for all members, e!cept the central columns of the first t"o storeys,
"hich are &SS steel 4grade S0-5, see Figure 7b. A conventional link 4i.e. part of the

of bolted links, a ne" structure 4denoted by 5 "as considered. Based on e!perimental
tests, an equivalent stiffness of -./ of the theoretical shear stiffness of continuous links
"as considered for bolted links. #n order to reduce inelastic deformations in members
outside links, higher steel grade "as used in these members. )his structure "as denoted
by 0, and used S0- steel grade in beams and columns of the moment%resisting bays,
seeFigure 7c. )he period of the fundamental mode of vibration of the B structure
amounted to 1.-/ seconds, "hile for the and 0 structures it "as 1.1 seconds.
Beams, columns and braces "ere modelled "ith fibre hinge beam%column elements,
"ith plastic hinges located at the element ends. 6ominal steel characteristics "ere used.

icles and Copov 819. As the original model consisted in four linear branches, it "as
adapted to the trilinear envelope curve available in Drain%d!.
3.2. Ground motion records
A set of seven ground motions "ere used. Spectral characteristics of the ground motions
"ere modified by scaling Fourier amplitudes to match the target elastic spectrum from

Bucharest. )he procedure "as based on the S#JLI$%1 program 819.
3.3. nalysis procedure and results
#n order to assess structural performance, nonlinear static and dynamic analyses "ere
performed. )hree performance levels "ere considered* serviceability limit state 4SS5,
ultimate limit state 4:S5, and collapse prevention 4(CS5 limit state. #ntensity of
earthquake action at the :S "as equal to the design one 4intensity factor > 1.-5.
Mround motion intensity at the SS "as reduced to > -./ 4according to > -./ in
$6 1227 8/95, "hile for the (CS limit state "as increased to > 1./ 4according to
F$JA /0 8195. Based on e!perimental results and F$JA /0 provisions, ultimate
link deformations at :S and (CS "ere u>-.11 rad and u>-.1 rad, respectively.
Cushover curves for the B, and 0 structures are sho"n in Figure 1-. #n comparison
"ith the conventional structure B, the ones using removable links 4 and 05 are
characterised by slightly reduced initial stiffness. &o"ever, base shear force at the first
yield in links is similar for the three structures, implying similar design strength under
seismic action. Mlobal capacity of the structure 4"ith removable links5 is reduced in
comparison "ith the B structure, but the 0 structure, that uses removable links and
&SS in moment%resisting bays, is characterised by a larger global strength. Another
advantage of &SS 40 structure5 is that elements outside links yield under larger
lateral deformations than the B and structure. :S criteria are the deformation
capacity uof member. #n all cases, the critical elements "ere links.

esults of the #ncremental Dynamic Analysis 4#DA5 are synthetically presented in
Figure 11, in terms of ma!imum transient #nterstorey Drift atio 4#D5 and ma!imum
permanent #D. )he conventional structure 4B5 performs slightly better than the
structures "ith removable links 4 and 05. &o"ever, it can be observed that all three
structures 4B, and 05 have adequate performance at the SS 4>-./5, :S 4>1.-5
and (CS 4>1./5 limit states. )here are no substantial differences bet"een the t"o
structures "ith removable links 4 and 05 in terms of ma!imum #D 4at SS5 and
ma!imum plastic deformation demands 4at :S and (CS5, see Figure 11a. )he benefit
of &SS for the structure "ith removable links 405 is clearly identified in Figure 11b,
giving the lo"est values of permanent drifts up to intensity factors of > 1.-%1.. o"
permanent drifts allo" easier replacement of damaged removable links.
As it "as presented earlier, structures designed using the dissipative approach, may
e!perience structural damage even under moderate 4SS5 earthquake. )his can be seen
inFigure 1, "here plastic deformation demands in members are represented. Clastic
deformations in links 4ranging bet"een -.-0 rad and -.- rad5 indicate a moderate
damage to the structures at SS. Clastic deformations in elements outside links 4beams,
columns, and braces5 are negligible for the B and structures, and are completely
avoided for the &%4 structure. Ja!imum plastic deformation demands in members at
SS, :S and (CS are presented in )able /. )he behaviour of the structures "ith
removable links is improved "hen &SS is used in the moment%resisting bays, this
structure sho"ing lo"er plastic deformation demands in elements outside links. Smaller
plastic deformations are directly related to smaller permanent drifts.

%. &onclusions
Seismic performance of removable links "ith flush%end plate connections "ere
investigated e!perimentally, proving the technological feasibility of the solution.
Cerformance of short removable links and possibility to be easily replaced makes them
attractive for dual eccentrically braced frames. Hery short links, "hich assure an elastic
behaviour of the connection are preferred, due to their easier replacement.
(oncentration of damage in the removable link 4performing like passive energy
dissipation devices5 may be accomplished by the capacity design principles, including
fabrication of the link from a steel "ith lo"er yield strength in comparison "ith rest of
the structure.
$!perimental investigation indicated a significant reduction of stiffness of bolted links
in comparison "ith conventional links. Structures "ith removable links sho"ed larger
interstorey drift and inelastic deformation demands than structures "ith conventional
links. &o"ever, seismic performance "as adequate under serviceability, ultimate and
collapse prevention limit states. Dual steel structures in "hich high strength steel is used
in moment%resisting bays of eccentrically braced frames "ith removable links are
characterised by reduced inelastic deformation demands in members outside links and
lo"er permanent interstorey drifts. #n these conditions, the dissipative behaviour of
structures can be better controlled by design. Joreover, interventions for repair of the
structure affected by a moderate to strong earthquake are limited to replacing the bolted
links.
