The stiffness estimation of steel semi-rigid beam-column moment connections in a fire

This study investigates the estimation of the stiffness of steel semi-rigid beam-column moment connections in a fire. The general purpose finite element software ANSYS is adopted. The parameters, such as material properties and geometric conditions, are fully studied to investigate their effect on stiffness. The formula for the stiffness of steel semi-rigid beam-column moment connections, which are made with the H-beam and H-column, for the case of constant temperature with increasing vertical beam load is proposed and verified by the results of ANSYS analysis. The stiffness of steel beam-column connections for the case of increasing temperature with constant load estimated by the proposed formula is found to be conservative.

The effect of axial beam force on moment–rotation curve of top and seat angels connections

Bolted top and seat angle connections are mainly designed to sustain gravitational loads of simply supported steel beams. However, the inherent flexural resistance of such connections may not be ignored when an accurate analysis of semirigid steel frames is desired. Current research aims at studying moment–rotation behaviour of this type under combined moment and axial tension force. Several refined three‐dimensional finite element models are created based on the previous experimental studies, and their accuracy is examined trough a comparison to test results from previous experimental studies. This study showed that the axial tension force reduces the connection initial stiffness and moment capacity. Based on the results obtained from analysing a series of finite element models under combined axial tension and moment loading, an equation is presented to estimate the affected moment–rotation response of such connections in terms of the connection geometrical properties, its moment–rotation response in the case of zero axial force and an expected axial tension force.

半刚性连接钢框架的弹性屈曲荷载计算

以单层多跨框架结构为研究对象,通过对各梁柱构件建立失稳状态的控制微分方程并引入相应的连续性条件和边界条件,建立了半刚性连接平面钢框架结构整体弹性失稳的临界荷载计算模型,并研制了相应的计算程序。计算结果表明,框架结构的半刚性连接特性和水平支撑对其整体稳定性的影响极为显著,而且结构失稳的整体效应需引起高度重视。分析结果还表明,作用于多跨框架结构竖向荷载的分布特征对整体框架结构的弹性屈曲荷载有不可忽视的影响,而这一点在目前钢框架的设计理论中并未充分考虑。另外,半刚性连接特性及结构的支撑刚度对钢框架结构稳定性的影响具有明显的界限性和区间性,即当连接刚度或支撑刚度超过一定数值时,其变化对框架结构弹性屈曲荷载的影响将无需再考虑。     

A simplified analytical method for unbraced composite frames with semi-rigid connections

The original Muto’s method for the lateral force analysis of conventional unbraced bare steel frames is first modified to incorporate the effects of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections. From which, equations for the calculation of the inter-storey drifts of these frames are formulated using first principles. By comparing the frame analytical results calculated from a rigorous finite element programme, it is shown that the proposed method gives reasonably accurate internal forces and inter-storey drifts estimations of a sway bare steel frame with semi-rigid connections. The proposed modified Muto’s method is then further developed for the manual analysis of unbraced composite frame systems by introducing an improved equivalent beam stiffness to account for the variation of the beam stiffness in the hogging and sagging moment regions. The accuracy of this simplified analytical method is verified by the rigorous finite element analysis of an unbraced composite frame with semi-rigid connections. Last, a parametric study is conducted to quantify the effects of semi-rigid connections on the inter-storey drifts of unbraced composite frames under lateral loads.     

Second-order distributed plasticity analysis of steel frames with semi-rigid connections

This paper proposes an accurately and efficiently numerical procedure for distributed plasticity analysis of semi-rigid steel frames. Both geometric and material nonlinearities are included in the proposed analysis. Geometric nonlinearities due to the large and small P-Delta effects are respectively captured using the corotational formulation and curvature-based displacement procedure. Material nonlinearities due to residual stresses and inelastic behaviour of materials are taken into account using a fibre model. The nonlinear semi-rigid behaviour of beam-to-column connections is simulated using a zero-length connection element. The validity of the present analysis is verified by comparing the obtained predictions with existing solutions. A case study of a very large-scale steel frame indicates that the present analysis is very reliable and computationally efficient and thus would be a valuable tool for daily use in office engineering design.     

Numerical study of built-up double-Z members in bending and compression

The use of the finite element method (FEM) for the design of composed, thin-walled, structural steel members is considered. The bolted double-Z frame member is an interesting and economical engineering solution, already used in practice [1]. However, the European recommendations for the design of steel structures do not consider built-up members from cold-formed steel profiles. Finite element analysis is used to capture the various buckling effects that shape the response of slender thin-walled members. From the finite element model, the importance of initial imperfections and stiffness of connections is identified. The experimentally validated model predictions show that a non-linear finite element analysis can predict the member behaviour, in terms of failure mode and ultimate load, yield line pattern, overall stiffness and local strain in the cold-formed profiles. To obtain a good prediction, overall and localised initial imperfections should be considered and included in the analysis.

竖向荷载下半刚性连接组合框架的实用设计方法(Ⅰ)——梁柱节点设计

虽然在钢框架结构设计中考虑半刚性连接和楼板的组合效应会产生良好的结构经济性,但是在实际工程中仍很难应用,主要原因是缺乏合适简便的设计方法。本文在国内外研究的基础上,结合我国钢结构设计规范GB50017-2003,给出了竖向荷载下半刚性连接组合框架的实用设计建议方法。设计建议方法包括满足两个极限状态的节点、梁、柱设计,较好地解决了梁挠度和柱有效长度系数计算中节点连接刚度的合理选取、半刚性特征对梁挠度和柱计算长度的影响。该方法不仅反映了节点和框架的实际性能,而且简便实用,符合工程师对普通钢框架的设计习惯。本文为全文的第一部分,介绍了梁柱节点设计。

Evaluation of connection flexibility in cold formed steel racks

Steel storage racks are three-dimensional framed structures fabricated from cold formed steel sections, wherein hook-in end connectors are used to make beam-column connections which are basically boltless and semi-rigid in nature. Different types of beam end connectors with different geometry of the connected members are available, making it impossible to develop a generalized analytical model. Only very few theoretical models are available to evaluate the performance of the joints for some typical connectors. More often experimental evaluation and numerical studies are needed to predict the behaviour of every different type of connectors. In the present study eighteen experiments were conducted on a commercially available pallet rack connection by varying the most influencing parameters such as thickness of the column, depth of the connector and the depth of the beam. The main objective of this work is to quantify the beam to column joint, flexibility of commonly used pallet rack frame and to develop a general Frye-Morris type/three parameter power model type moment versus relative rotation relationship. A companion finite element shell model that simulates the experimental behaviour closely is developed using ABAQUS finite element software, which is also used for further parametric studies. Using the three major variables as size parameters, a Frye-Morris type of equation has been proposed. Some calibration studies have also been carried out. Using the ultimate moment capacity, initial connection stiffness and the shape parameter obtained, a three parameter power model has also been proposed to represent the moment-rotation behaviour of the boltless connections.
