冷弯薄壁C型钢轴压短柱承载力计算方法的改进

用我国规范有效宽度法求得的冷弯薄壁型钢短柱构件极限承载力高于试验结果,倾向于不安全。所以,通过分析提出,按照《冷弯薄壁型钢结构技术规范》GB50018-2002中的有效宽度法计算组合截面冷弯薄壁型钢受压构件承载力时,可以对计算结果乘以一个修正系数以示其原结果的不安全程度。由于有效宽度法在计算试件极限承载力时存在不安全性,因此本文引入另一种适用于冷弯薄壁型钢构件的计算方法,即直接强度法(Direct Strength Method,DSM)。将直接强度法和有效宽度法计算求得的短柱极限承载力与试验结果进行对比,结果表明,直接强度法的计算结果与试验值更为吻合,为使其结果更加经济、安全,本文提出适用于计算组合截面冷弯薄壁型钢受压构件承载力的直接强度法建议公式。

Tests of concrete-filled stainless steel tubular T-joints

This paper describes a test program on a wide range of concrete-filled cold-formed stainless steel tubular T-joints fabricated from square hollow section (SHS) and rectangular hollow section (RHS) brace and chord members. A total of 27 tests was performed. The chord member of the test specimen was filled with concrete along its full length. Both high strength stainless steel (duplex and high strength austenitic) and normal strength stainless steel (AISI 304) specimens filled with nominal concrete cylinder strength of 30 MPa were tested. The axial compression force was applied to the top end of the brace member, which was welded to the center of the chord member. Local buckling failure of brace member was the main failure mode observed during the tests. Hence, the axial compression force was then applied by means of a steel bearing plate to avoid failure of brace member. The failure modes of chord face failure and chord side wall failure as well as crushing of the concrete infill were observed. All the tests were performed by supporting the chord member of the specimen along its entire length to apply the pure concentrated force without any bending moment. The test results were also compared with design rules for carbon steel tubular structures, which is the only existing design guideline for concrete-filled tubular joints. It is shown that the design strengths predicted by the current design rules are quite conservative for the test specimens. It is also recommended that the contribution of stainless steel tubes should be included in the design rules since it has significant effects on the ultimate bearing capacity of concrete-filled stainless steel tubular T-joints.     

Design of cold-formed stainless steel tubular T- and X-joints

This paper describes the numerical investigation of cold-formed stainless steel tubular T-joints, X-joints and X-joints with chord preload using finite element analysis. The stainless steel joints were fabricated from square hollow section (SHS) and rectangular hollow section (RHS) brace and chord members. The geometric and material nonlinearities of stainless steel tubular joints were carefully incorporated in the finite element models. The joint strengths, failure modes as well as load-deformation curves of stainless steel tubular joints were obtained from the numerical analysis. The nonlinear finite element models were calibrated against experimental results of cold-formed stainless steel SHS and RHS tubular T- and X-joints. Good agreement between the experimental and finite element analysis results was achieved. Therefore, an extensive parametric study of 172 T- and X-joints was then carried out using the verified finite element models to evaluate the effects of the strength and behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel tubular joints. The joint strengths obtained from the parametric study and tests were compared with the current design strengths calculated using the Australian/New Zealand Standard for stainless steel structures, CIDECT and Eurocode design rules for carbon steel tubular structures. Furthermore, design formulae of cold-formed stainless steel tubular T- and X-joints are proposed. A reliability analysis was performed to assess the reliability of the current and proposed design rules. It is shown that the design strengths calculated using the proposed equations are generally more accurate and reliable than those calculated using the current design rules.     

Structural performance of cold-formed high strength stainless steel columns

This paper describes an accurate finite element model for the structural performance of cold-formed high strength stainless steel columns. The finite element analysis was conducted on duplex stainless steel columns having square and rectangular hollow sections. The columns were compressed between fixed ends at different column lengths. The effects of initial local and overall geometric imperfections have been taken into consideration in the finite element model. The material nonlinearity of the flat and corner portions of the high strength stainless steel sections were carefully incorporated in the model. The column strengths and failure modes as well as the load-shortening curves of the columns were obtained using the finite element model. Furthermore, the effect of residual stresses in the columns was studied. The nonlinear finite element model was verified against experimental results. An extensive parametric study was carried out using the verified finite element model to study the effects of cross-section geometries on the strength and behaviour of cold-formed high strength stainless steel columns. The column strengths predicted from the parametric study were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American Specification, Australian/New Zealand Standard and European Code for cold-formed stainless steel structures. The results of the parametric study showed that the design rules specified in the American, Australian/New Zealand and European specifications are generally conservative for cold-formed high strength stainless steel square and rectangular hollow section columns, but unconservative for some of the short columns.     

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.
