对焊接H形和槽形截面的柱进行了一系列压力试验,这些柱采用厚度为6·0 mm,名义屈服应力为240 MPa的软钢板制成。从理论上和试验中对这些受压构件在非线性局部和整体屈曲交互作用下的极限强度和性能进行了研究。压力试验表明,局部和整体屈曲交互面对薄壁焊接钢柱截面有较大的负面影响。近期发展起来的DSM方法,对冷加工钢截面的设计,可作为有效宽度法的备选方法,最近已由NAS( AISI ,2004)提出,并由焊接钢截面的试验结果进行了校验。证明了当局部屈曲和弯曲同时或者近乎同时发生时,可采用直接强度法预测焊接截面的极限强度。     

Compression tests of longitudinally stiffened plates undergoing distortional buckling

This paper describes a series of compression tests performed on longitudinally stiffened plates fabricated from a mild steel plate of thickness of 4.0 mm with nominal yield stress of 235.0 MPa. The stiffened plates with longitudinal stiffeners of a range of rigidities were tested to failure. The ultimate strengths and performances of the longitudinally stiffened plates in compression undergoing distortional buckling or interaction between local and distortional buckling were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The compression tests indicated that the critical buckling mode was dependent mainly on the rigidity of the longitudinal stiffeners and the width-to-thickness ratio of the sub-panels. A noticeable interaction between local and distortional buckling was also observed for some stiffened plates. A significant post-buckling strength reserve was shown for those sections with distortional buckling and for those sections showing interaction between local and distortional buckling. A limiting strength curve for distortional buckling of longitudinally stiffened plates was studied. Simple design strength formulas in the direct strength method are proposed to account for the distortional buckling and the interaction between local and distortional buckling of longitudinally stiffened plates. The strength curves were compared with the test and FE results conducted. The adequacy of the strength curve was confirmed. A set of conclusions on the buckling behavior of longitudinally stiffened plates was drawn from the experimental studies.     

The development of the direct strength method for welded steel members with buckling interactions

The direct strength method (DSM) has been adopted by the NAS (2004) and AS/NZS 4600 (2005) for the design of cold-formed steel members. The method can be successfully applied to the design of welded and hot-rolled sections. This paper reviews the development of the DSM for welded steel structural members. The design strength formulae for welded section columns and beams for the DSM are provided based on the tests performed on welded H-section, C-section, circular and rectangular hollow section columns fabricated from steel plates whose nominal yield stress is 235 MPa or 315 MPa. The comparison between the design strength of welded sections predicted by the DSM and that estimated by existing specifications is provided. This paper verifies that the DSM which adopts the nominal axial strength and flexural strength in the AISC (2010) or EC3 (2004) can properly predict the ultimate strength of welded section columns and beams.     

Compression tests of high strength cold-formed steel channels with buckling interaction

This paper describes a series of compression tests conducted on cold-formed simple lipped channels and lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners in the flanges and web fabricated from high strength steel plate of thickness 0.6 and 0.8 mm with the nominal yield stress 560 MPa. A range of lengths of lipped channel sections were tested to failure with both ends of the column fixed with a special capping to prevent local failure of column ends and influence from the shift of centroid during testing. The high strength cold-formed steel channel sections of intermediate lengths generally displayed a significant interaction between local and distortional buckling. A noticeable interaction between local and overall buckling was also observed for the long columns. A significant post-buckling strength reserve was shown for those sections that showed interaction between local and distortional or overall buckling. Simple design strength formulas in the Direct Strength Method for the thin-walled cold-formed steel sections failing in the mixed mode of local and distortional buckling have been studied. The strengths predicted by the strength formulas proposed are compared with the test results for verification.

为研究960 MPa高强度钢材轴压构件的整体稳定性能,对6个焊接工字形和等边箱形截面试件进行了静力试验研究,测量了试件的几何初弯曲、荷载初偏心以及截面残余应力分布等初始缺陷,分析了试件的失稳破坏形态,得到了整体稳定承载力,并与规范设计曲线进行了对比分析。利用试验结果验证了有限元分析模型,并进行参数分析。研究结果表明：试件的破坏模态均为整体弯曲失稳,除两个几何初始缺陷过大的试件外,其他试件的整体稳定系数试验值均明显高于规范设计值;参数分析结果表明,960 MPa钢材焊接截面轴压构件的整体稳定系数较普通钢材显著提高,建议采用GB 50017-2003中的a类柱子曲线设计此类轴压构件,同时拟合了960 MPa高强度钢材的柱子曲线公式。     

Prediction of the squash loads of concrete-filled tubular section columns with local buckling

This paper describes a series of compression tests of circular hollow steel (CHS) sections and circular concrete-filled tubular (CFT) sections. The diameter to thickness ratios of the test specimens ranged 45–140. This range was set to investigate the effect of local buckling in the circular steel skin on the ultimate strength of CFT columns. The confining effect against filled-in concrete was also studied. A squash load formula for CFT stub columns is proposed to account for the post-local-buckling strength of steel skin. The ultimate strength of steel skin was predicted by a kind of Direct Strength Method (DSM). The proposed DSM does not require the computation of the effective area of the steel skin, but uses the gross area of the steel skin and the design strength formula based on various test results. The compressive strength formula of the filled-in concrete accounting for the strength ratio of steel skin to filled-in concrete is also proposed to consider the increase in compressive strength of the filled-in concrete, due to the confining effect of the steel skin. The design strengths of CFT columns were compared with the test results for verification.

Nonlinear analysis of concrete-filled thin-walled steel box columns with local buckling effects

Local buckling of steel plates reduces the ultimate loads of concrete-filled thin-walled steel box columns under axial compression. The effects of local buckling have not been considered in advanced analysis methods that lead to the overestimates of the ultimate loads of composite columns and frames. This paper presents a nonlinear fiber element analysis method for predicting the ultimate strengths and behavior of short concrete-filled thin-walled steel box columns with local buckling effects. The fiber element method considers nonlinear constitutive models for confined concrete and structural steel. Effective width formulas for steel plates with geometric imperfections and residual stresses are incorporated in the fiber element analysis program to account for local buckling effects. The progressive local and post-local buckling is simulated by gradually redistributing the normal stresses within the steel plates. Two performance indices are proposed for evaluating the section and ductility performance of concrete-filled steel box columns. The computational technique developed is used to investigate the effects of the width-to-thickness ratios and concrete compressive strengths on the ultimate strength and ductility of concrete-filled steel box columns. It is demonstrated that the nonlinear fiber element method developed predicts well the ultimate loads and behavior of concrete-filled thin-walled steel box columns and can be implemented in advanced analysis programs for the nonlinear analysis of composite frames.     

Strength design curves and an effective width formula for cold-formed steel columns with distortional buckling

Distortional buckling mode of cold-formed steel thin-walled member is an unstable behavior, and in some cases it may govern the load-carrying capacity of the member. The source, evolution and performance of the formulas and test data for the two strength design curves developed by Hancock are studied, for predicting the load-carrying capacity in the distortional mode. A proposed strength design curve based on available test data and Hancock׳s strength design curves are then compared with the current design methods, the Direct Strength Method and the Effective Width Method, which are incorporated in the “North American specification for the design of cold-formed steel structural members” (AISI-NAS: 2007), “cold-formed steel structures” (AS/NAS 4600: 2005), and the Chinese “Technical specification for low-rise cold-formed thin-walled steel buildings” (JGJ 227-2011). The results indicate that the current design standards adopted the two strength design curves for the DSM and EWM, but they have some differences at the partial extent. A novel formula is proposed for dealing with this problem. The range of applicability of the proposed strength equation is extended from that in AS/NZS 4600 and is shown to be more accurate than AS/NZS 4600 when compared with that in the NAS S100.     

冷弯薄壁型钢轴压构件畸变与整体相关屈曲承载力计算方法研究

基于我国《冷弯型钢结构技术规范》(征求意见稿)和北美规范及澳洲/新西兰规范中的直接强度法,利用国内外已有的试验数据,计算了60根破坏模式为畸变与整体相关屈曲的轴压试件以及50根破坏模式为畸变屈曲的轴压试件的承载力。通过计算值与试验值的对比分析表明：我国《冷弯型钢结构技术规范》(征求意见稿)中直接强度法所计算的轴压试件畸变与整体相关屈曲的承载力与试验值之比的平均值接近1.0,结果较为理想;计算所得的轴心受压试件畸变屈曲的承载力明显高于试验值,偏于不安全。基于上述结果,对《冷弯型钢结构技术规范》(征求意见稿)中直接强度法计算畸变屈曲的承载力提出了相应建议,即畸变与整体相关屈曲的承载力计算公式和畸变屈曲的承载力计算公式不应统一,应区别对待或给出附加核查条件,在计算畸变半波长度和畸变屈曲的承载力时,采用屈服荷载而非构件整体稳定承载力。

Progressive collapse analysis of thin-walled box columns

Box columns are often used as main strength members of various types of thin-walled structures such as ships, ship-shaped offshore structures, and aerospace structures. Until and after the ultimate limit state is reached, box columns exhibit highly nonlinear structural behavior in terms of geometrical and material aspects. In particular, the effects of local buckling, global buckling, and their interaction play a significant role in the resulting consequences of box columns under extreme actions. In order to calculate the maximum load-carrying capacity of box columns, it is thus highly required to perform the progressive collapse analysis to take into account progressive failures of individual components and their interacting effects. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate a method that is useful for the progressive collapse analysis of thin-walled box columns in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. Theoretical outline of the method is addressed. Short, medium and long box columns in length are studied in terms of interacting effects between local component failure modes and global system failure modes. The effect of unloaded edge conditions of individual plate elements is also studied. A comparison of the method with more refined nonlinear finite element method computations is made.

A study to develop methods of analyzing perforated, axially loaded, cold-formed steel studs using the provisions of the Direct Strength Method [American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI).

Several different models were developed to represent the effect of the web perforations. The capacities predicted using the Direct Strength Method for the limit states of distortional and local buckling were compared to capacities calculated using the equations contained in the AISI Specification [American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members 2001 Edition with Supplement 2004 (AISI/COFS/NASPEC 2004) and Commentary (AISI/COFS/NASPEC 2004), Washington, DC; 2004]. The limit state of longwave buckling is considered in a companion paper [Sputo T, Tovar J. Application of direct strength method to axially loaded perforated cold-formed steel studs: Part 1. Longwave buckling. Thin Walled Struct, submitted for publication]. The validity of the results is discussed and recommendations are made for the use of the Direct Strength Method for these members.     

Shear buckling of thin-walled channel sections

The elastic buckling stresses of channel sections with and without lips and subject to shear forces parallel with the web are determined, where computational modelling of the thin-walled steel sections is implemented by means of a spline finite strip analysis.

The channel sections are also analysed at different lengths, to investigate the effect of length/width ratio on the critical shear buckling stresses. Comparisons between cases and with classical solutions are included in this paper.

G550高强钢构件的受压稳定

应力等级为G550(屈服强度和抗拉强度都是550MPa)的钢材是一种典型的厚度不到1mm的高强冷轧钢板,许多年来这种钢材一直被用作护墙板或盖板,但是现在被用作结构构件,例如屋面桁架和钢框架房屋中的墙架。这种钢材应变硬化低,抗拉强度和屈服应力的比值是1.0。本文概述了悉尼大学有关这种钢材稳定的一个主要研究项目。进行了短柱和长柱受压构件的试验并和设计规范以及有限元分析进行了对比。     

高强冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面轴压柱畸变屈曲试验研究

本文对550MPa高强冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面轴压构件畸变屈曲性能进行了试验研究,17根试件的试验结果表明:由于试件局部屈曲一般发生在畸变屈曲之前,促使畸变屈曲提前出现,这种相关作用减弱了构件整体刚度,降低了构件承载力;澳洲规范AS/NZS 4600:1996及北美规范NAS 2004中关于发生畸变屈曲构件承载力的计算方法没有考虑局部屈曲和畸变屈曲相关作用的不利影响。依据试验结果本文提出了一种修正直接强度法的建议计算方法,该法计算结果与试验结果较为接近且偏安全。
