1 A Prying Action Force and Contact Force Estimation Model for a T-Stu Connection with High-Strength Bolts Jae-Guen Yang* 1, Jae-Ho Park, Hyun-Kwang Kim and Min-Chang Back 1 Professor, Department of Architectural Engineering, College of Engineering, Inha University, Korea Graduate Student, Department of Architectural Engineering, College of Engineering, Inha University, Korea Astract A T-stu connection with high-strength olts under tensile force is affected y prying action force and the contact force, among others, etween memers. If a design equation that does not consider such prying action force and contact force etween memers is not proposed, the T-stu under tensile force is liale to e fractured under a strength lower than the estimated design strength. To prevent this, many studies have proposed contact force estimation equations etween memers as well as the prying action force of the T-stu connection with high-strength olts. However, no design equations ased on such research have een proposed in South Korea. Therefore, this study aims to propose an estimation model for more accurate prying action force and contact force, and to improve on previously proposed estimation models y implementing three-dimensional, nonlinear finite element analysis. Keywords: prying action force; contact force; design strength; connection stiffness 1. Introduction Bolted connections under tensile force are liale to e fractured under a strength lower than the estimated design strength due to the prying action force or contact force etween memers. Thus, there have een many studies on estimating such prying action force and contact force etween memers, which have proposed various estimation models. Douty and McGuire (1965) estimate prying action force ased on elastic analysis. In proposing an estimation model, they considered the material properties of high-strength olts and connecting memers as well as the geometric shape of connections. Similarly, Agerskov (1976) estimated prying action force ased on elastic analysis. Agerskov's estimation model considered the deformation of T-stu flanges connected with high-strength olts and shear deformation, ut did not consider non-linearity ased on flange yielding. Struik and Back (1969) estimated the prying action force of connections that have generally geometric shapes ased on the comination of high-strength olts and T-stu flanges. Struik and Back's estimation model, which is most widely used, however, offers a value larger than the prying action *Contact Author: Jae-Guen Yang, Professor, Department of Architectural Engineering, College of Engineering, Inha University, #53 Young Hyun-Dong, Nam-Ku, Incheon, , South Korea Tel: Fax: jyang@inha.ac.kr ( Received Octoer 10, 01 ; accepted July 3, 013 ) force acquired from the action test. Assuming that the central line of the axial olt force moves y the contact force etween memers, Swanson (1999, 00) proposed an estimation model, which improved the estimation model y Struik and Back. However, the application of the estimation model has ecome more complex. Jaspart and Maquoi (1995) oserved the change in contact force etween connection memers according to olt pretension, and showed that such a change affects the tensile stiffness of connections under tensile force. Faella et al. (1996, 1998) oserved the change in contact force etween connection memers according to the change in the stiffness ratio (ß) etween the flexural stiffness of the connecting memer flanges and the axial tensile stiffness of highstrength olts, and estimated the change in the axial tensile stiffness of the connections. This study aimed to improve the previous contact force estimation models etween memers and the prying action force. Toward this end, it performed the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis. The feasiility of the proposed estimation model was verified after a comparison and review of the analysis results of other researchers.. Three-Dimensional Non-linear Finite Element Analysis Modeling of Connections with High- Strength Bolts The prying action force of the connection with highstrength olts and the contact force etween memers were estimated y the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis. Generally, the contact effect of the memers and the prying action is largest when the Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering/Septemer 013/

2 connecting flange is thinnest, and the gauge distance etween high-strength olts is largest. Based on Kulak's research, Thornton (1985) and Astaneh (1985) proposed parameter α', as in Eq. (1), to determine the effect of prying action. In proposing Eq. (1), δ, the parameter that shows the effect of the olt hole for high-strength olts on the elements under prying action force, is the ratio etween the net section area of the flange and the gross sectional area, and ρ is the ratio of the distance etween the central line of the axial load of the highstrength olt and the distance etween the central line of the axial load of the high-strength olt to the T-stu stem surface. The prying action effect is highly likely to occur when α', which is affected y the geometric shape of the connection, the pretension force of the high-strength olts, and the material properties of the connection are larger than 1.0. Therefore, as shown in Fig.1. and Tale 1., this study selected the geometric shape of the connection with two α' values such as α' > 1.0 and 0 < α' < 1.0, respectively. The steel material used in the connection is SS400, and as shown in Fig.., the material properties are in a ilinear model, which is descried y the regression analysis in Tale. F10T-M0 high-strength olts were idealized as having een connected y 165kN pretension. 1 t c ' 1 1 t f t 8 B ' 0 c () pfy ' (3) a' ' 1 d (4) p d a' a (5) d ' (6) (1) Fig.1. Geometric Shape of the Connection Fig.. Stress-Strain Curve of Steel Material The connection with high-strength olts was modeled y ABAQUS (ver. 6.9.). The T-stu that comprises the connection is a C3D8R (eight-node rick element with reduced integration) memer element. In performing the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis, the effect of the contact and earing etween memers as well as the pretension of the high-strength olts were considered. The frictional coefficient etween memers was set to 0.5. This frictional coefficient was applied under the assumption that the faying surfaces etween memers are unpainted, last-cleaned steel surfaces. The Korean Building Code (KBC009) only provides the case of μ = 0.5. For high-strength olts used in the T-stu analytical model, the horizontal movement was restrained y inserting the plate, which is 1.5 times thicker than the T-stu flange etween the lower T-stu and the upper T-stu. As shown in Fig.3., the overall connection analysis model consists of a total of 40,716 elements and 55,376 nodes, and the analysis of each model lasted aout 40 minutes. In modeling the connection with high-strength olts, the applied ABAQUS options are as shown in Tale 3. Tale 1.

3 Also, it is assumed that the prying action force is applied to the end of the flange. However, as pointed out y Kulak et al. (001), Eq. (7) results in excessive prying action force. Q T Struik & Back ' ' (1 ') a' (7) (a) G60-T15-B350 analysis model Kulak et al. proposed the axial tensile force on the high-strength olts of the connection under tensile force, as in the following Eq.

Estimation of the Prying Action Force on the Connection with High-Strength Bolts and the Contact Force etween Memers In the case of axial tensile force on the connection with high-strength olts, as shown in Fig.4., Struik and Back proposed the ratio Q/T, as in Eq. (7), Q is the prying action force, and T is the axial tensile force. In using Eq. (7), if α' is larger than 1.0, that is, the connection is fractured y the plastic deformation after the flexural yielding of the flange due to the prying action force, α' is set to 1.0. On the other hand, if α' is etween 0 and 1, that is, the connection is fractured y partial yielding of the flange followed y olt failure, α' is set to the value directly otained from Eq. (1). Fig.4. Prying Action Force Estimation Model y Struik and Back Faella et al. assumed that, as in Fig.5., the contact force etween the high-strength olt head and the connection flange at an angle of 45º would occur due to the pretension of the high-strength olt. Also, they proposed K p /K, the ratio of the high-strength olt stiffness to the connection flange stiffness under such contact force, as in Eq. (10), which offers similar values to those of the equations proposed y Agerskov and Bursi (1990). In the application of Eq. (10), K p can e otained through the application of deformaility characteristics y decompression. The value, A(z), used in Eq. (11) signifies the area of the T-stu flange compressed y the axial force of high-strength olts. Kp tp (10) K d K p t t p wh dz EA() z (11) 4.

4 Fig.5. Contact Force Distriution Characteristics Due to the Pretension of the High-Strength Bolt connection is fractured y plastic deformation after the flexural yielding of the flange. Whereas a connection is fractured y partial yielding of the flange followed y olt failure if the connection with 0 < α' < 1.0. Shown in Fig.6. is the stress distriution on the connection when the applied load reaches the reference load, which, as defined y Richard et al. (1988), is the value at which the slope of the region that shows the strain hardening symptom of the connection meeting the y-axis and the load axis. As shown in Fig.6.(a), the flexural yielding occurs y the concentrated stress in the area, which is at a certain distance from the T-stu fillet and the area at which the end of the interior of the high-strength olt head and the T-stu flange meet when 3.67 < α' < On the other hand, as shown in Fig.6.(), the flexural yielding only occurs y the concentrated stress in the area at which the end of the interior of the highstrength olt head and the T-stu flange meet when 0.08 < α' < Such concentrated stress shows the plastic hinge line in a eam pattern, as predicted y Faella et al. as well as Ballio and Mazzolani (1994), and results in a fracture. Shown in Fig.7. is the applied load-olt force relationship curves of the T-stu connection, resulting from the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis result, which shows very similar ehavioral characteristics to those of the same curve from Struik and Back's test. In other words, with the increase in the applied load, the axial olt force of the highstrength olt also gradually increases, and after the reference load, such an increase of the axial olt force accelerates, resulting in the failure of the high-strength olt. Such a rapid increase of the axial olt force of the axial olt force on the high-strength olt is elieved to e due to the prying action effect. According to the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis result, the average increase rate of the axial olt force on the high-strength olt due to the prying action effect is 8.% when 3.67 < α' < 8.14, as shown in Tale 4., resulting in 3.8 of the axial olt force ratio of the high-strength olt to the applied load. This ratio is much larger than that referred to y Eq. (8). That is, the prying action effect is excessive since each connection with 3.67 < α' < 8.14 has much thinner flange thickness and larger olt gauge distance than the connection with α' = 1.0. On the other hand, the average increase rate of the axial olt force on the high-strength olt due to the prying action effect is 11.4% when 0.08 < α' < 0.98, as shown in Tale 5. Therefore, the following Eq. (1) was proposed y applying a revised parameter to Eq. (7), which offered excessive Q/T, ased on the three-dimensional finite (a) T 0 =383.3kN, G60-T15-B350 analysis model () T 0 =1,958.1kN, G140-T8-B30 analysis model (c) T final =770.3kN, G60-T15-B350 analysis model (d) T final =1,970.5kN, G140-T8-B30 analysis model Fig.6.

In addition, if the equilirium equation (B = T + Q) among T, the applied load, B, the axial force of high-strength olts, and Q, the prying action force, is applied, the correlation etween the applied load and the axial force of high-strength olts is summarized in Eq. (13). As shown in Eq. (13), the aove-mentioned value of 3.8 is the sum of.8, the average increase in the ratio of the prying action force, as summarized in Tale 4., and 1.0. As shown in the following Eq. (14), the tensile stiffness of highstrength olts is summarized from the correlation, R.05 if ' 1.0 R 0.4 if 0 ' 1.0 k, Yang EA EA ' ' L m Q L 1 R 1 (1 ') a' m m T Yang a' a 0.3d m ' 0.3d m (14) (15) (16) (a) G310-T1-B400 analysis model () G110-T8-B00 analysis model Fig.7. Applied Load vs. Axial Bolt Force Relationship Curve on the High-Strength Bolt of the T-Stu Connection etween the constitutive equation on the high-strength olts and the axial force of high-strength olts. That is, the tensile stiffness of a couple of high-strength olts is affected y the prying action force, as shown in Eq. (14), and it is reflected in the value, 1.6, the coefficient mentioned in Eq. (8). In implementing Eq. (15) and Eq. (16), a' m and ' m are defined as the distance from the central line of the axial force of the high-strength olt to the end of the flange and the distance from the central line of the axial force of the high-strength olt to the stem, respectively. As the load acting on T-stu increases, the stress that occurs in the shank of highstrength olts moves from the centroid point of the shrank of high-strength olts to the right, as shown in Fig.8., showing non-uniform distriution. In this case, the axial force of high-strength olts is assumed to e acting on the centroid point of non-uniform stress distriution. The centroid point of non-uniform stress distriution otained from the stress distriution that occurred in the shank of high-strength olts of each analytical model was the point that moved as much as an average of 0.3d from the central axis of highstrength olts.

Contact Force Distriution Characteristics y the Pretension of the High-Strength Bolt, Resulting from the Finite Element Analysis Result The ratio of the contact force etween memers to the stiffness of the connection flange and the highstrength olt is affected y such stress distriution. According to Fig.9., the contact force etween the head of the high-strength olt and the connection flange occurs at 9º. As descried in Tale 6. and Tale 7., the contact force is exerted at a stress distriution angle, which results from the finite element analysis result, and is smaller than that proposed y Faella et al.

The test performed the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis again y applying the identical geometric shape, material properties, oundary conditions, and loading conditions to the T-stu finite element analysis model y Hantouche, shown in Fig.10.(a) and 10.(). The stress distriution of the T-stu model, resulting from the re-performed finite element analysis, is shown in Fig.11. As shown in Fig.1., the prying action effect of the high-strength olt, resulting from the re-analysis of the T-stu y Yang, offers a very similar prying action effect to that of the high-strength olt y Hantouche. Although Yang's analysis model showed a slightly larger Q/T value than Hantouche's analysis model for the W4x76 analysis model, the Q/T from Yang's analysis model offered a value close to that of Hantouche's analysis model. Therefore, it is determined that using Yang's analysis model is feasile. In addition, it is much easier to estimate the prying action effect of a connection since Yang's analysis model does not need to use the normalizing factor β*. The normalizing factor β* can only e otained y performing a complex finite element analysis. Tale 7.

The study resulted in the following conclusions: 1) Based on the three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis, the ratio of the axial force on the high-strength olt to the applied load y the prying action effect is 3.8 when 3.67 < α' < Hence, it is recommended that the coefficient referred to y Eq. (8) is set to for a connection with 3.67 < α' < ) The three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis result showed that the contact force is delivered at a maximum angle of 9º, the angle of the stress distriution etween the head of the high- JAABE vol.1 no.

8 strength olt and the connection flange, which is smaller than the angle proposed y Faella et al. 3) As shown in Tale 8. and Tale 9., in estimating Q/T of the T-stu, Yang's analysis model offered a closer value to the actual test than Hantouche's analysis model did. Therefore, it is determined that estimating Q/T of the T-stu y using Yang's analysis model is valid.
