Summary Conduct a system evaluation of the suspended zipper braced frame. Develop an analytical brace model Simulate the brace buckling response. Quasi-static test of the brace sub-assembly Verify the analytical brace force-deformation hysteretic response. Hybrid simulation test of the suspended zipper braced frame Model the system response using both analytical elements and physical elements in the laboratory. 51 Conclusions Behavior of the suspended zipper braced frame Behave as intended. Many redundancies. Braces buckled out of plane. Zipper columns are effective in transferring unbalanced vertical forces. Beams are rotated out of plane, needed to be braced. Plastic hinges developed at the column base. Base plate of the column bases need to be designed for the ultimate strength of the column. 52 26
Conclusions (cont.) Results of the hybrid simulation test First hybrid simulation test to combine complex analytical and experimental elements. Excellent match between the hybrid and analytical simulation results. This shows the analytical brace model, solution algorithm and experimental testing architecture works. Application of hybrid simulation test Can be used to test multiple sub-assemblies. Larger and more complex structural system. More extreme loading. Can test the structure to extreme states. 53 Thank Question? you! This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under a pre-nees award number CMS-324629.
