Abstract:In this paper, a six story high-rise residential building was designed as the research object, and 2 single span steel frame specimens were designed, one of which was embedded into the friction energy dissipation brace, and the other one was not embedded in the. The mechanical properties of the steel are introduced, and the loading method is introduced. The failure of the steel frame with friction energy dissipation brace is analyzed. The lateral displacement angle of 1/50 is considered as the destruction state of the steel structure.The lateral bearing capacity, lateral stiffness, ductility, stress distribution and deformation of friction type energy consumption steel-frame structure and general steel-frame structure are tested. The results show that the friction energy dissipation braced steel frame structure has high lateral resistance.
