Abstract

Beam-to-column connections and their behavior in structures due to its importance in seismic loads are one of the most important parts of steel frames analysis. Thus, the correct understanding of power transmission by beam-to-column connections and more accurate understanding of their behavior are essential for modeling and analysis of steel structures. The common method for determining moment–rotation curve is connection test. In this study, after determining the behavioral curve of laboratory sample of steel beam-to-column connection with the flange plates, the behavior of this sample connection was determined by component-based method, finite element analysis and neural network. In order to assess the accuracy of these methods, moment–rotation curve obtained are validated and compared by the laboratory sample results. The results show that moment–rotation curve of the laboratory sample and analytical methods are close together at an acceptable level and can be used to study the behavior of this type of connection with reasonable accuracy.
