6. Conclusions
- (1)
- When the standard H-shaped column was subjected to horizontal loading, severe buckling deformation occurred at the top and base of the column. Slight buckling deformation of the base flange was observed in the H-shaped steel column with a replaceable slipping friction joint at the column base. For the H-shaped column with replaceable slip friction joints at both ends, damage was concentrated on the vertical of the internal and external connectors near the base plate, while the steel column remained elastic.
- (2)
- In comparison to the stable load bearing capacity of the H-shaped steel column with a replaceable slipping friction joint, significant degradation of the load bearing capacity of the standard H-shaped column was marked.
- (3)
- It was found that the H-shaped column with replaceable slip friction joints at both ends consumed less energy than the standard H-shaped column. However, this energy loss can be offset by additional energy-consuming elements.
- (4)
- The slip friction joints at the ends of the column can effectively reduce the axial shortening of the steel column and enhance the seismic stability of the structure.
- (5)
- The finite element analysis was conducted on H-shaped columns with replaceable slip friction joints by taking into account the thickness of the connector horizontal limbs. The results showed that the thickness of the connector horizontal limbs is suggested to be less than twice the thickness of the connector vertical limbs; in this case, the connector improved the load-bearing capacity of the steel column and ensured the frictional energy dissipation of the joints. Additionally, it protected the main structure from damage and achieved the goal damage control. The frictional energy consumption of the models reached 85–90% of the total energy consumption, indicating that the energy is mainly consumed by friction at the members of the slip friction joints with replaceable connectors.
