矩形钢管混凝土壁板的屈曲后强度

为研究矩形钢管混凝土壁板的屈曲后强度,根据平板的弹塑性屈曲理论并考虑残余应力的影响,确定了板件发生塑性屈曲、弹塑性屈曲和弹性屈曲的正则化界限宽厚比。采用试验验证的有限元模型进行了宽厚比为20～150、钢材屈服强度为275～960 MPa的矩形钢管混凝土壁板局部屈曲分析,以界限宽厚比为控制点,根据有限元结果拟合出了矩形钢管混凝土壁板的有效宽度计算式。研究结果表明：弹性屈曲板件的屈曲后强度提高程度显著高于弹塑性屈曲板件;屈曲后强度的提高程度与钢材屈服强度无明显相关性;与无面外约束钢板相比,混凝土的单侧约束作用可使板件的屈曲后强度普遍提高约50%;提出的矩形钢管混凝土壁板的正则化界限宽厚比和有效宽度计算式与试验结果吻合较好,有效宽度试验值比所提公式计算值平均增大7.2%,标准差为0.091。

初始缺陷对矩形钢管混凝土柱壁板屈曲后强度的影响

为了研究焊接残余应力和几何初始缺陷对矩形钢管混凝土柱壁板屈曲后强度的影响,采用有限元软件ABAQUS进行参数分析,参数包括壁板的屈服强度、宽厚比、几何初始缺陷取值大小、是否施加几何初始缺陷和焊接残余应力,并考虑两者耦合作用,给出考虑焊接残余应力和几何初始缺陷后的矩形钢管混凝土柱壁板有效宽度计算公式,并与试验数据进行比较。结果表明:建立的有限元模型能较好地模拟壁板的局部屈曲和屈曲后行为,焊接残余应力和几何初始缺陷都会降低壁板屈曲后强度,且焊接残余应力的影响较大; 不同强度等级的钢材都需要考虑焊接残余应力和几何初始缺陷的影响,对于屈服强度大于460 MPa的高强钢材,当宽厚比大于65时,可以忽略几何初始缺陷的影响; 给出的有效宽度计算公式可以较为准确且偏保守地预测矩形钢管混凝土柱壁板屈曲后强度。

Shear buckling characteristics of cold-formed steel channel beams

Cold-formed steel members are increasingly used as primary structural elements in the building industries around the world due to the availability of thin and high strength steels and advanced cold-forming technologies. Cold-formed lipped channel beams (LCB) are commonly used as flexural members such as floor joists and bearers. However, their shear capacities are determined based on conservative design rules. For the shear design of LCB web panels, their elastic shear buckling strength must be determined accurately including the potential post-buckling strength. Currently the elastic shear buckling coefficients of LCB web panels are determined by assuming conservatively that the web panels are simply supported at the junction between their flange and web elements. Hence finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the elastic shear buckling behavior of LCBs. An improved equation for the higher elastic shear buckling coefficient of LCBs was proposed based on finite element analysis results and included in the ultimate shear capacity equations of the North American cold-formed steel codes. Finite element analyses show that relatively short span LCBs without flange restraints are subjected to a new combined shear and flange distortion action due to the unbalanced shear flow. They also show that significant post-buckling strength is available for LCBs subjected to shear. New equations were also proposed in which post-buckling strength of LCBs was included.     

Elastic shear buckling characteristics of LiteSteel beams

LiteSteel beam (LSB) is a new cold-formed steel hollow flange channel beam. The unique LSB section is produced by a patented manufacturing process involving simultaneous cold-forming and dual electric resistance welding. To date, limited research has been undertaken on the shear buckling behaviour of LSBs with torsionally rigid, rectangular hollow flanges. For the shear design of LSB web panels, their elastic shear buckling strength must be determined accurately including the potential post-buckling strength. Currently the elastic shear buckling coefficients of web panels are determined by assuming conservatively that the web panels are simply supported at the junction between the flange and web elements. Therefore finite element analyses were carried out to investigate the elastic shear buckling behaviour of LSB sections including the effect of true support conditions at the junction between their flange and web elements. An improved equation for the higher elastic shear buckling coefficient of LSBs was developed and included in the shear capacity equations of Australian cold-formed steel codes. Predicted ultimate shear capacity results were compared with available experimental results, both of which showed considerable improvement to the shear capacities of LSBs. A study on the shear flow distribution of LSBs was also undertaken prior to the elastic buckling analysis study. This paper presents the details of this investigation and the results including the shear flow distribution of LSBs.     

Analytical calculation of local buckling and post-buckling behavior of isotropic and orthotropic stiffened panels

A methodology for the analytical assessment of local buckling and post-buckling behavior of isotropic and orthotropic stiffened plates is presented. The approach considers the stiffened panel segment located between two stiffeners, while the remaining panel is replaced by equivalent transverse and rotational springs of varying stiffness, which act as elastic edge supports. A two-dimensional Ritz displacement function (pb-2 Ritz) is utilized in the solution of the local buckling problem of isotropic and laminated symmetric composite panels with arbitrary edge boundary conditions. The buckling analysis of the segment provides an accurate and conservative prediction of the panel local buckling behavior. Consequently, the developed methodology is extended in the prediction of the post-buckling response of stiffened panels of which the skin has undergone local buckling. Of high importance for the calculation of the post-buckling behavior is the selection of appropriate boundary conditions for the structural members analyzed. A comparison of the present methodology results to respective finite element (FE) results has shown a satisfactory agreement.

Finite element analysis and design of sandwich panels subject to local buckling effects

Past research into the local buckling behaviour of fully profiled sandwich panels has been based on polyurethane foams and thicker lower grade steels. The Australian sandwich panels use polystyrene foam and thinner and high strength steels, which are bonded together using separate adhesives. Therefore a research project on Australian sandwich panels was undertaken using experimental and finite element analyses. The experimental study on 50 foam-supported steel plate elements and associated finite element analyses produced a large database for sandwich panels subject to local buckling effects, but revealed the inadequacy of conventional effective width formulae for panels with slender plates. It confirmed that these design rules could not be extended to slender plates in their present form. In this research, experimental and numerical results were used to improve the design rules. This paper presents the details of experimental and finite element analyses, their results and the improved design rules.     

Behavior of biaxially-loaded rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular slender beam-columns with preload effects

In composite construction, rectangular hollow steel tubular slender beam-columns are subjected to preloads arising from construction loads and permanent loads of the upper floors before infilling of the wet concrete. The behavior of biaxially loaded thin-walled rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) slender beam-columns with preloads on the steel tubes has not been studied experimentally and numerically. In this paper, a fiber element model developed for CFST slender beam-columns with preload effects is briefly described and verified by existing experimental results of uniaxially loaded CFST columns with preload effects. The fiber element model is used to investigate the behavior of biaxially loaded rectangular CFST slender beam-columns accounting for the effects of preloads and local buckling. Parameters examined include local buckling, preload ratio, loading angle, depth-to-thickness ratio, column slenderness, loading eccentricity and steel yield strength. The results obtained indicate that the preloads on the steel tubes significantly reduce the stiffness and strength of CFST slender beam-columns with a maximum strength reduction of more than 15.8%. Based on the parametric studies, a design model is proposed for axially loaded rectangular CFST columns with preload effects. The fiber element and design models proposed allow for the structural designer to efficiently analyze and design CFST slender beam-columns subjected to preloads from the upper floors of a high-rise composite building during construction.     

Numerical and experimental investigations on the compression behaviour of stiffened plates

The main objective of this paper is to present the results of the finite element method for non-linear analysis of stiffened plates subjected to axial compression load considering post-buckling behaviour up to collapse. For this purpose two series of well executed experimental data on longitudinally stiffened steel plates with and without transversal stiffeners subjected to uniform axial in-plane load carried out to study the buckling and post-buckling up to final failure have been chosen. The first series are those of Ghavami where the influences of stiffener cross-section of the type rectangular (R), L and T, their spacing and the presence of rigid transversal stiffeners have been studied. The second series of Tanaka & Endo, where the behaviour of stiffened plates having three and two flat bars for longitudinal and transversal stiffeners respectively were analysed. For the purpose a well-established commercially available Finite Element program ANSYS has been chosen. The selected element was SHELL43, which can trace the full-range, elastic-plastic behaviour of the stiffened plates. It is seen that the simulated results of FEM are in good consistency with the test results.

In-plane buckling behavior of slender parabolic concrete-filled steel tubular arches with fixed ends

现有规范采用“等效梁柱法”计算长细比不超过80的钢管混凝土拱的平面内稳定承载力,而实际工程中有近20%拱桥拱肋长细比超过上述限值,即大长细比钢管混凝土拱。因此,利用ABAQUS建立了有限元分析模型,在基于现有试验数据验证模型可靠性的基础上,对大长细比抛物线形钢管混凝土无铰拱在竖向均布荷载作用下的平面内稳定性能进行了分析,研究了长细比、矢跨比、含钢率、混凝土强度和钢材强度对拱肋平面内稳定承载力的影响;基于参数分析结果,对现有平面内整体稳定系数公式进行修正,提出了大长细比抛物线形钢管混凝土拱平面内稳定承载力设计公式。结果表明：拱肋稳定承载力随长细比增大显著降低,随矢跨比和含钢率增加近似线性提高。其中,矢跨比对大长细比拱肋影响更为显著,而含钢率对采用高强钢的拱肋影响更大;所提出的设计公式计算结果与有限元分析结果吻合良好,有限元分析结果与公式预测结果比值的均值为1.02~1.08,标准差为0.039~0.051,变异系数为3.74%~4.72%。     

Stiffened steel plates under uniaxial compression

The stability of steel plates stiffened with tee-shape sections under uniaxial compression and combined uniaxial compression and bending was investigated using a finite element model. The emphasis of the work presented in this paper was to find the parameters that uniquely describe the strength and behaviour of stiffened steel plates. A finite element model, validated using the results of tests on full-size stiffened plate panels, was used to investigate the scale effect for five dimensionless parameters. The parameters investigated were: the transverse slenderness of the plate, the slenderness of the web and flange of the stiffener, the ratio of torsional slenderness of the stiffener to the transverse slenderness of the plate, and the stiffener-to-plate area ratio. Average magnitude residual stresses and initial imperfections were assumed for this study.A parametric study covering a wide range of dimensionless parameters indicated that stiffened steel plates do not fail by stiffener tripping unless a bending moment is applied to create flexural compressive stresses in the stiffener. Although plate buckling and overall buckling were found to lead to a very stable post-buckling behaviour, the interaction between these two buckling modes was found to give rise to a sudden loss of capacity following initial plate buckling. The plate transverse slenderness, the stiffener slenderness-to-plate slenderness ratio, and the stiffener-to-plate area ratio were found to have a significant effect on this behaviour.A comparison of the numerical analysis results with API and DnV design guidelines indicates that the guidelines predict stiffened steel plate capacity with various degrees of success, depending on the governing mode of failure. Neither guidelines address the potential interaction-buckling phenomenon.

Inelastic buckling and strengths of steel I-section arches with central torsional restraints

The elastic flexural–torsional buckling behaviour of arches with a central elastic torsional restraint has been reported elsewhere by the authors, and it was found that a central elastic torsional restraint restricts the buckling shape of an elastic arch and increases its elastic buckling resistance. However, both the inelastic buckling and strength of arches with a central elastic torsional restraint have hitherto not been investigated. It is not known whether the threshold stiffness for elastic buckling can be applied to arches which buckle inelastically, nor is it known how to determine the strength of steel arches with a central elastic torsional restraint. This paper modifies a finite element model for the nonlinear inelastic flexural–torsional analysis of steel I-section arches by including the effects of elastic restraints, and uses it to investigate the influence of central elastic torsional restraints on the inelastic flexural–torsional buckling and strength of steel I-section arches. It is found that a central elastic torsional restraint increases the strength of steel arches, but that the increase in strength decreases as the modified slenderness of the arches decreases. The threshold value of the stiffness of a central elastic torsional restraint at which the inelastic strength of an arch is equal to that of the corresponding arch with a rigid restraint is related to both the modified slenderness and included angle of the arch. For an arch with a low modified slenderness and with a small included angle which buckles inelastically, the threshold restraint stiffness is much smaller than that for an arch which buckles elastically. Design formulae for the strengths of steel I-section arches in uniform bending and in uniform compression with a central elastic torsional restraint are proposed. Comparisons with finite element results show that the proposed formulae provide good predictions for the strength of thin-walled steel I-section arches with a central elastic torsional restraint.

Seismic performance and collapse prevention of concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular arches

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the seismic behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches using incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). A nonlinear elastic–plastic finite element model is developed using OpenSees software and is verified with a shaking table test. Single-record IDA studies indicate that a CFST arch undergoes global dynamic instability when subjected to ground motions of increasing intensity levels. During this process, either dynamic elastic buckling or dynamic elastic–plastic buckling may occur. Dynamic strength, which is defined as the capacity for preventing global dynamic instabilities of CFST arches, is determined with a series of multi-record IDA calculations. A lower bound equation that takes into account the effect of slenderness ratio, axial compression ratio, and included angle is proposed for the prediction of the dynamic strength of CFST arches.     

Effect of moment of inertia on elastic stability of rectangular webs for thin-walled beams under a transverse load

So far, the equations for buckling capacity of web panels focus on thin-walled beams with very strong flanges. In this paper, elastic buckling behavior of web panels of thin-walled beams with weak flanges is further studied, aiming at a buckling coefficient formula unifying the effect of both weak and strong flanges. A new parameter, the flange-to-web ratio of moment of inertia, is proposed to characterize the effect of flanges. Then, a semi-analytical method is applied to investigate the buckling behavior of simply supported web panels, in two cases, inclusive or exclusive of effect of the moment of inertia of flanges. It is revealed that elastic buckling load, in particular, the buckling coefficient of web panel is a function of two key parameters, web aspect ratio and flange-to-web ratio of moment of inertia. Meanwhile, a finite element analysis (FEA) model allowing for the sensitivity of boundary conditions is validated by comparing with the semi-analytical solution to the case exclusive of effect of the moments of inertia of flanges. Next, numerical results are utilized to illustrate the influence of the previous parameters, which verify the increase of buckling coefficient with flange-to-web ratio of moment of inertia or the decrease of buckling coefficient with web aspect ratio. Besides, it also verifies that for the same flange-to-web ratio of moment of inertia, the buckling behavior of square web panels is closer to the uniform shear buckling than other rectangular web panels. Finally, an accurate design formula is proposed to calculate buckling coefficient of web panel.
