studying of the prying action effect in steel connection

Nonlinear finite element analyses are performed to simulate the behavior of top-and seat angle connection. The result of test on seven model beam–column connection is presented and discussed. These studies were carrying out in order to provide insight into the behavior of the set angle in the beam- column connection. The main variables tested include the: 1) material properties of bolt 2) bolt diameter 3) gage distances on top angle and angle thickness. In particular, the respective stress state of the steel connection under static loading are calculated by taking into account the development of plastification zone and the unilateral contact and friction effect of describing the between connection member.
