These types of framed structures typically feature semi-rigid and partial strength column-base connections; the behaviour of such connections may significantly affect their seismic performance. However, current code provisions offer limited guidance for the assessment and retrofit of column-base connections To fill the knowledge gap, the H2020 EU-funded Earthquake Assessment of Base-Column Connections in Existing Steel Frames (HITBASE) project experimentally investigated, the response of exposed column-base plate connections. Bi-directional Pseudo-Dynamic tests were carried out at the Structures Laboratory (STRULAB) of the University of Patras within the framework of Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (ERIES). The case-study steel frame featured two types of column-base plate connections, <ns3:italic>i.e.,</ns3:italic> stiffened and unstiffened, representing respectively the base connections of an external moment-resisting frame and an internal gravity frame. The experimental programme comprised free vibration tests to identify the modal properties of the sample steel frame. A set of quasi-static cyclic tests and Pseudo-Dynamic tests were then carried out to investigate the performance of the steel frame under bi-directional earthquake sequences. The response of each component constituting the column-base plate connections was monitored during the tests to fully capture the behaviour of the connections. Such experimental results allow model calibration and further parametric investigation on column base plate connections.</ns3:p> date: 2024-08-05 date_type: published publisher: F1000 Research Ltd official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.12688/openreseurope.17563.1 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2303078 doi: 10.12688/openreseurope.17563.1 lyricists_name: Freddi, Fabio lyricists_id: FFRED33 actors_name: Freddi, Fabio actors_id: FFRED33 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Open Research Europe volume: 4 article_number: 161 issn: 2732-5121 citation: Stathas, Nikolaos; Di Sarno, Luigi; Wu, Jingren; Freddi, Fabio; D’Aniello, Mario; Bousias, Stathis; Landolfo, Raffaele; ...
