What is Damage control mechanism and seismic performance of a steel moment connection with replaceable low-yield-point steel double T-stub fuses about?
To achieve a damage-controllable and earthquake-resilient steel frame with more feasible and simple dissipative devices, an innovative steel moment-resisting connection with bolted ductile double T-stub fuses is developed in this work. These T-stubs with appropriate free deformation length in the stems, made of Low-Yield-Point (LYP) steels instead of ordinary steels, simultaneously behave as connectors, bearing elements, and replaceable dissipative fuses that benefit from the inherent excellent ductility, dissipation capacity, and fatigue performance of the LYP materials. The cyclic responses of the connections with LYP T-stubs subjected to different weakening strategies are explored and compared via extensive nonlinear numerical parametric analyses. Subsequently, the influences of the free deformation length and the weakened degree of the T-stub stem on the seismic performance and the structural fuse effect are evaluated. Finally, optimal design suggestions for this connection are proposed, which provide a reference for engineering applications. Analytical results demonstrate that properly designed LYP T-stubs with various weakened parameters can act as structural fuses by dissipa
