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.     

受弯的冷弯卷边槽钢畸变屈曲强度和其相关屈曲承载力

受弯的冷弯薄壁卷边槽钢基本上有板件局部屈曲,截面畸变屈曲和构件弯扭屈曲三种屈曲模式,随后有它们之间的相关屈曲。由于畸变屈曲模式对缺陷的敏感度高,因此其屈曲后强度提高的幅度远低于局部屈曲模式。但是与局部屈曲模式相比,畸变屈曲模式抵抗破坏的能力却很强。可以用有限单元法计算受弯卷边槽钢截面的畸变屈曲强度。本文介绍了澳大利亚-新西兰标准AS/NZS4600-2005,用手算法计算受弯卷边槽钢截面的弹性畸变屈曲应力,並用直接强度法计算其相关的屈曲承载力。     

冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面构件畸变屈曲控制研究

基于部分加劲板件的畸变屈曲和局部屈曲的稳定系数比较,提出了冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面构件畸变屈曲发生于局部屈曲之后或畸变屈曲不发生的临界控制条件;给出了通过构件畸变屈曲计算长度控制畸变屈曲的临界条件;提出一种控制畸变屈曲的构造措施,即在卷边间加设缀板,并通过已有试验对其有效性进行验证,同时推导了卷边间缀板的刚度需求。结果表明：通过构件截面尺寸控制畸变屈曲不发生或发生在局部屈曲之后,可以不考虑构件畸变屈曲的影响,简化冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面构件承载力的计算;计算长度小于畸变屈曲半波长一半的构件不发生畸变屈曲;通过在卷边间加设缀板的构造措施能有效阻止部分加劲板件的转动,构件的畸变屈曲荷载和承载力都有很大的提高,缀板布置间距不同,构件承载力的提高幅度也不同,缀板间距越小,构件承载力提高幅度越大。算例分析表明,满足一定间距和刚度需求的缀板能够提高构件的畸变屈曲承载力或避免畸变屈曲的发生。     

冷弯薄壁C型钢绕强轴偏心受压构件的极限承载力

冷弯薄壁型钢结构多采用有效截面法对构件承载力进行计算,该方法计算繁杂且未考虑构件的畸变屈曲性能。直接强度法采用全截面计算各类参数,能够考虑各种单独屈曲模式及其相关屈曲对构件稳定性能的影响,但目前该方法并不能应用于压弯构件。对冷弯薄壁C形钢绕强轴偏压构件的稳定性能进行参数分析,探讨了构件长度、偏心距、腹板高厚比、翼缘宽厚比和卷边高厚比等因素对构件承载力的影响规律。结合有限元分析结果,基于轴压构件和纯弯构件的直接强度法公式,提出了冷弯薄壁型钢绕强轴偏压构件的极限承载力计算方法。     

Distortional buckling tests of cold-formed steel compression members at elevated temperatures

In recent times, light gauge cold-formed steel sections have been used extensively since they have a very high strength to weight ratio compared with thicker hot-rolled steel sections. However, they are susceptible to various buckling modes including a distortional mode and hence show complex behaviour under fire conditions. Therefore, a research project based on detailed experimental studies was undertaken to investigate the distortional buckling behaviour of light gauge cold-formed steel compression members under simulated fire conditions. More than 150 axial compression tests were undertaken at uniform ambient and elevated temperatures. Two types of cross sections were selected with nominal thicknesses of 0.60, 0.80, and 0.95 mm. Both low (G250) and high (G550) strength steels were used. Distortional buckling tests were conducted at six different temperatures in the range of 20-800 ^°C. The ultimate loads of compression members subject to distortional buckling were then used to review the adequacy of the current design rules at ambient and elevated temperatures. This paper presents the details of this experimental study and the results.     

高强冷弯薄壁型钢轴压柱畸变屈曲研究

550MPa高强冷弯薄壁型钢卷边槽形截面轴压柱发生畸变屈曲时会出现三种模式（O—O,O-I,I—I）,考虑材料和几何双重非线性的有限元法对三种畸变屈曲模式的构件承载力、变形模式、畸变屈曲应力、横截面应力的分布等相关性能进行比较分析,可看出三种畸变屈曲模式诸性能存在较大不同,同时畸变屈曲与局部屈曲、整体屈曲在相关性能方面也存在不同。采用直接强度法对畸变屈曲轴压柱极限承载力进行计算,计算结果与试验结果较吻合,故在计算畸变屈曲轴压柱极限承载力时建议采用直接强度法．     

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。     

Lateral distortional buckling tests of a new hollow flange channel beam

The LiteSteel beam (LSB) is a new hollow flange channel section developed by OneSteel Australian Tube Mills using their patented dual electric resistance welding and automated continuous roll-forming process. It has a unique geometry consisting of torsionally rigid rectangular hollow flanges and a relatively slender web. The LSBs are commonly used as flexural members in buildings. However, the LSB flexural members are subjected to lateral distortional buckling, which reduces their member moment capacities. Unlike the commonly observed lateral torsional buckling of steel beams, the lateral distortional buckling of LSBs is characterised by simultaneous lateral deflection, twist, and cross sectional change due to web distortion. An experimental study including more than 50 lateral buckling tests was therefore conducted to investigate the behaviour and strength of LSB flexural members. It included the available 13 LSB sections with spans ranging from 1200 to 4000 mm. Lateral buckling tests based on a quarter point loading were conducted using a special test rig designed to simulate the required simply supported and loading conditions accurately. Experimental moment capacities were compared with the predictions from the design rules in the Australian cold-formed steel structures standard. The new design rules in the standard were able to predict the moment capacities more accurately than previous design rules. This paper presents the details of lateral distortional buckling tests, in particular the features of the lateral buckling test rig, the results and the comparisons. It also includes the results of detailed studies into the mechanical properties and residual stresses of LSBs.     

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。     

Flexural–torsional buckling of ultra light-gauge steel storage rack uprights

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the behaviour of ultra light-gauge steel storage rack uprights subjected to compression. Two different types of members with varying lengths are tested and while the combined effects of local and distortional buckling are investigated, special attention is given to longer specimens that fail by flexural–torsional buckling in combination with local and distortional buckling. Deformations experienced during testing by all of the specimens were measured and observations regarding failure modes have been documented. In addition, the geometric imperfections of each member were measured before testing, as were the material properties of the cold-rolled sections and the virgin steel from which the sections were formed. This paper details the observed failure modes, the recorded ultimate strengths and the load-deflection responses. Design capacities calculated from AS/NZS 4084 (2012) [1], RMI (2012) [2] and EN 15512 (2009) [3] specifications are then evaluated and compared to the experimental results obtained.The evaluation of international specificationsdetermined that EN 15512 (2009) [3] is more accurate in predicting ultimate loads of sections undergoing interactive buckling than both AS/NZS 4804 (2012) [1] and RMI (2012) [2].

Experimental and numerical investigation on cold-formed steel C-section flexural members

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the bending strength and behavior of cold-formed steel C-section flexural members with upright, inclined and complex edge stiffeners. A total of 24 specimens that divided into 12 tests including 6 pure bending tests and 6 non-pure bending tests have been conducted. Local buckling, distortional buckling and interaction between local and distortional buckling were observed in the tests. The experimental results show that the edge stiffener and buckling mode have great influence on member’s bending strength. Comparison of the bending strengths under the two bending states show that the bending strength under non-pure bending is higher than which under pure bending, but the increased magnitude is related to the buckling modes. Moment gradient effect has only a minor influence on local buckling, but has great influence on distortional buckling. The tests were simulated by finite element program of ANSYS and the simulated results show good agreement with the experimental results in terms of bending strength and buckling mode.     

Design for distortional buckling of flexural members

For thin-walled flexural members composed of high-strength steel and/or slender elements in the section, a mode of buckling at half-wavelengths intermediate between local buckling and flexural—torsional or flexural buckling can occur. The mode is most common for edge-stiffened sections such as C- and Z-purlins, and involves rotation of the flange and lip about the flange—web junction. The mode is commonly called distortional buckling. This paper presents a design method for distortional buckling of flexural members recently drafted for use in the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Cold formed Steel Structures. Methods for computing the elastic buckling stress, and design curves for determining the distortional buckling strength are presented. Comparisons of different methods for computing the elastic distortional buckling stress are made with accurate solutions based on the finite strip method of structural analysis.     

An experimental investigation of distortional buckling of steel storage rack columns

An experimental investigation on the behavior of steel storage rack columns subjected to compression is presented. Members of different lengths are tested, but special attention is focused on the behavior of the specimens having lengths that make them subject to distortional buckling. This mode of buckling can be observed in moderately long specimens; namely, longer than the stub columns used for the determination of the local buckling strength, but short enough to avoid the effects of global buckling. The deformation experienced by these specimens is measured, and it is observed that there is a range of member lengths where the failure mode is a combination of distortional buckling and global buckling modes. Furthermore, it is verified that, although the effect of the interaction between these modes on the member strength is not large, the accuracy of the current design procedures improves if it is considered in the calculations.     

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.

截面尺寸对冷弯薄壁槽形钢屈曲的影响

薄壁构件在轴向受压荷载作用下很容易由于屈曲而失效,但是冷弯薄壁型钢构件的屈曲又是一个复杂的过程。在此用有限条法分析了卷边C型截面钢构件的局部屈曲性能,较真实地反映了其受力的实际情况,得出了卷边C型截面钢构件各个截面参数变化对屈曲的影响。     

卷边加强冷弯型钢梁局部和畸变屈曲

设计时,应重点考虑冷弯型钢构件的屈曲特性及其导致的有效性损失,以保证结构的经济性。数值模型改进后,能够反映考虑几何缺陷、材料非线性特性、后屈曲性能等因素的冷弯型钢梁的真实屈曲特性。针对侧向约束下冷成型Z型钢梁,采用已有的有限元模型,研究钢梁卷边及其与受压翼缘的相互作用对后屈曲特性的影响。利用卷边翼缘宽度比以及卷边倾角,观测局部屈曲、畸变屈曲和局部/畸变屈曲相互作用下截面抗弯刚度的变化。评估了EC3中适用于冷成型Z型钢梁局部和畸变屈曲的设计方法的有效性。总体而言,采用EC3计算的截面抗弯刚度并不保守。指出其中的不足并提出改进建议,改善卷边受压翼缘的失稳系数。
