In Korea, Small-size buildings are not performed structural calculation. Also it does not assess the safety about lateral loads such like earthquake. In this study, We proposed the steel column bases that can be applied to small buildings. And We analyzed the Steel Column Bases flexural behavior.
This study compares the steel column-base plate connections to improve the flexural capacity of small building. In addition, performance level was evaluated by example building. Analysis results, an additional reinforcement is required to the proposed steel column-base plate connection. And then, We should compared the impact of beam-column joints.
Based on AISC Design Guide-#1, limit-state function of steel column-base plate connection is defined. Comparison with test and numerical result, this method acculately predicts bending moment capacity of this connection.
