Abstract

Abstract In this paper, cyclic loading tests are carried out to study the extremely-low-cycle fatigue (ELCF) failure behavior of the beam-to-column welded joints of steel structures subjected to severe seismic excitation. Firstly, the fatigue crack evolution and local strain of the weld zone obtained from experiments are adopted to investigate ELCF failure behavior for steel structures. In these experiments, three large scale specimens of box-column to I-beam connection are controlled by different cycle displacement ranges greater than the yield displacement. Secondly, the crack initiation and propagation law as well as the damage and deterioration mechanism are examined; then, the preliminary criterion for crack initiation for the box-column joint is proposed. Finally, failure characteristics and strain distribution of the box-column joint are analyzed. This study shows that the ELCF failure of the box-column to the I-beam joint is multiaxial and nonproportional. Based on the crack initiation and propagation along the thickness direction of the beam flange, the crack macro-penetration mode can be divided into two categories, i.e., standard failure mode and mixed failure mode. Moreover, load drop, change rate of load drop, and loading amplitude are key factors of the damage mechanism.
