Cyclic Modeling of Bolted Beam-to-Column Connections: Component Approach

The work is aimed at the prediction of the cyclic response of bolted beam-to-column joints starting from the knowledge of their geometrical and mechanical properties. To this scope a mechanical model is developed within the framework of the component approach already codified by Eurocode 3 for monotonic loadings. Accuracy of the developed mechanical model is investigated by means of the comparison between numerical and experimental results with reference to an experimental program carried out at Salerno University. The obtained results are encouraging about the possibility of extending the component approach to the prediction of the cyclic response of bolted connections.
