Component method for column base with embedded plate

Abstract

Objective of the thesis is research on structural behaviour of column bases with embedded plate. The main aims are resistance, stiffness and rotational capacity of the joint. The joint behaviour is predicted by a numerical prediction model based on finite element method. This prediction is compared to experimental investigation performed on one to one scale specimens of column base with embedded plate. Based on findings, an analytical behaviour prediction model based on component method is created. Within the model, behaviour of two new components is described: the steel plate in tension and the punching through steel plate. The research is supported by grant RFSR-CT-2007-00051 InFaSo, by research fellowship provided by German Academical Exchange Service DAAD (www.daad.de) and by grant SGS10/237/OHK1/3T/11 (Advanced structures from steel and glass).
