In this tutorial, the Simulation Exposed column base plate connections in moment frames in Abaqus have been done. The steel column, bolts, steel bed plate, and concrete foundation are modeled as three-dimensional solid parts. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below In low and mid-rise steel structures ...

Column base connections are among the most critical components of Steel Moment Frames, their behavior profoundly influences the overall performance of SMFs. Early investigations on Column-base connections alongside remarkable experimental programs on large-scale specimens. have provided insight into their behavior and failure modes. These tests led to the development of ...
