Desarrollo de un software específico para el diseño de conexiones de arriostre o viga-columna para pórticos especiales arriostrados concéntricamente, conforme a la normativa ANSI/AISC 341 -16

Abstract

The present research project has as purpose the codification of a specific software for bracing connections or beam-column connections design for steel special concentrically braced frames (SSCBF). It allows us to design in a quick and safe way the simple beamcolumns (bolted) connection, welded beam-column connection, double braced beam column (welded) connection, X brace-beam (welded) connection, simple beam-column (bolted) corner connection, and simple beam-column (welded) corner connection. For the design of the different connections, they were analyzed by ANSI/AISC 341-16 Standards criteria. From it the calculation equations for a design by capacity were taken. For the development of the software, we started with the manual calculation of the different connections, with this the software programming code was developed and at the same time the graphic interface for the visualization of the results was created. For the veracity of the SCBF DESIGN CONNECTION software, the results obtained by the developed software were compared with the manual method; resulting in a margin of error of less than 1.50 percent, thus verifying that the results obtained by the software are reliable.
