This command is used to construct a two-dimensional beam-column-joint element object. The two dimensional beam-column joint is idealized as a parallelogram shaped shear panel with adjacent elements connected to its mid-points. The midpoints of the parallelogram are referred to as external nodes. These nodes are the only analysis components that connect the joint element to the surrounding structure.
element Joint2D $eleTag $Nd1 $Nd2 $Nd3 $Nd4 $NdC <$Mat1 $Mat2 $Mat3 $Mat4> $MatC $LrgDspTag |
$eleTag | unique element object tag |
$Nd1 $Nd2 $Nd3 $Nd4 | integer tags indicating four external nodes where the joint element is connected to the adjoining beam-column element |
$NdC | integer tags indicating the central node of beam-column joint (the tag is used to generate the internal node, thus, the node should not exist in the domain or be used by any other node) |
$Mat1 | uniaxial material tag for interface rotational spring at node 1. Use a zero tag to indicate the case that a beam-column element is rigidly framed to the joint. (optional) |
$Mat2 | uniaxial material tag for interface rotational spring at node 2. Use a zero tag to indicate the case that a beam-column element is rigidly framed to the joint. (optional) |
$Mat3 | uniaxial material tag for interface rotational spring at node 3. Use a zero tag to indicate the case that a beam-column element is rigidly framed to the joint. (optional) |
$Mat4 | uniaxial material tag for interface rotational spring at node 4. Use a zero tag to indicate the case that a beam-column element is rigidly framed to the joint. (optional) |
$MatC | uniaxial material tag for rotational spring of the central node that describes shear panel behavior |
$LrgDspTag | an integer indicating the flag for considering large deformations: |
0 - for small deformations and constant geometry | |
1 - for large deformations and time varying geometry | |
2 - for large deformations ,time varying geometry and length correction |
NOTES:
- The nodes must be located such that the main chords bisect. The node tags shall be entered in a clockwise or counter-clockwise order.
- In the case that the beam-column element is rigidly framed to the joint, the tag for materials $Mat1 to $Mat4 shall be zero.
- The shear panel uniaxial material (with the tag $MatC) shall be calibrated for shear-equivalent moment versus shear distortion. In the calibration formulations the shear-equivalent moment is calculated by multiplying the joint average shear stress to the joint panel volume.
- The element connects the external nodes to the central node via multi-point constraints, and Joint2D must be used along with either the Penalty or the Transformation constraint handler.
