4 Motivation (1) Current Design Practice in North America Steel Moment-Resisting Frames (MRFs) per AISC-2010, CSA-S seismic provisions: ² Design considerations: primarily based on cyclic tests on pre-qualified moment connections (after Northridge 1994). ² Emphasis was mostly on connection performance up to 4% story drift ratios but NOT ON COLUMN PERFORMANCE ² Deep (h > 400mm) and slender (still Class 1 cross-sections) columns are commonly used (weight consideration).

5 Beam-to-Column Connection Tests with Deep Wide Flange Columns h Column Twisting Some Facts: Sources: Chi and Uang (2002), Zhang and Ricles (2006) ² Beam-to-column connections: triggers torsion and out-ofplane bending to the column. ² Torsional properties of wide flange sections tend to produce higher warping stresses in the column (high h/t 3 cf). 5

10 Motivation (4): Current State of Practice for Nonlinear Modeling of Steel Columns (ASCE-41-13) - Challenges ² Recommendations are based on cyclic response only (red curve) ² Axial load limit for force-controlled elements may be conservative (Big challenge in seismic retrofit of existing steel buildings) ² Biaxial bending, varying axial load demands (exterior columns) Response of identical columns to different protocols Force Deformation Suzuki and Lignos (2015) If P/P cl 0.50 No plastic deformation Biaxial bending, varying axial loads? 10

11 Motivation (5) Models that Facilitate Collapse Simulations Image Source: NIST GSR Goals for developed column deterioration model: ² To capture the axial load moment interaction (i.e., P-M). ² To capture the cyclic deterioration in flexural and axial strength and stiffness. ² To capture column axial shortening. ² Steel material type versatility. 11

12 Objectives and Scope ² To characterize the stability of steel wide flange columns when subjected to multi-axis cyclic loading. ² Full-scale experimental program ² Corroborating finite element (FE) parametric simulations ² To develop improved seismic design recommendations for steel columns in moment-resisting frames. ² To improve the nonlinear modeling recommendations for steel columns for engineering use within the PBEE framework (Updates in ASCE-41-13). ² Develop high-fidelity column models for collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings. 12
