Simulation steel beam-column connection with bolt in Abaqus-Beam failure investigation

In this tutorial, the Simulation steel beam-column connection with bolt-in Abaqus under vertical load-Beam failure investigation- has been studied. The beam with endplate is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part, the column is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part and the ten bolts are modeled as three-dimensional solid parts. You can see a figure of the assembled parts at below

The steel material for the bolt is modeled as elastic-plastic behavior depends on the strain rate, ductile damage with evolution and shear damage with evolution to predict damage and failure in the bolt. The steel material for the column and for the beam is modeled as elastic-plastic with ductile damage criterion. The dynamic explicit procedure is used to model large deformation and failure analysis in this simulation. All interactions like a bolt with beam or bolt with columns are assumed as the surface to surface contact with contact property behavior as friction coefficient and normal contact. The fixed boundary condition is assigned to the column surfaces and vertical displacement with smooth amplitude is applied for the beam. The mesh should be fine especially in the contact zone

After the simulation, the stress, strain, damage, failure…..can be available. The maximum failure and damage happened at the endplate of the steel beam. You can see some figures for the results below
