Abstract

The welded unreinforced flange-welded web (WUF-W) moment connection is one of seven prequalified connections for the special moment frames (SMF) specified in AISC 358-10. In this study, in order to predict cyclic behavior of WUF-W connections using nonlinear FEA, finite element studies for selection of a proper brick solid element and mesh layer were conducted. As a result, the cyclic behavior of WUF-W connections is evaluated using three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) analyses with an adequate solid element and mesh layers.
