卷边加强开孔的冷弯型钢受弯构件的性能、优化及设计

冷弯型钢(CFS)受弯构件的腹板常常开圆孔,用于通过管道、电缆、水管设施和安装横向支撑等。传统在冷弯型钢腹板上开孔的构件的翼缘是不带卷边的,最近研发出新型具有加劲卷边的C型截面冷弯薄壁型钢抗弯构件。然而,目前对于新型C型截面构件的研究尚不深入,有用的试验也有限。该文采用有限元分析方法分析加劲开孔的冷弯型钢薄板和典型C截面构件的稳定性。基于弹性屈曲分析方法得出孔洞的最佳剖面,并将其应用于标准C截面构件。采用屈曲后有限元分析方法确定构件的挠曲强度。结果表明加劲孔洞能够大大提高C截面CFS挠曲强度。计划提出新的设计准则以准确计算孔洞剖面最佳的新型C截面构件的挠曲强度。

Cold-Formed Steel Flexural Member with Edge Stiffened Holes: Behavior, Optimization, and Design

Circular holes are commonly found on the web of cold-formed steel (CFS) flexural members for piping, electric-wiring, plumbing, or installing lateral bracing, etc. Traditional holes on CFS members are flat bunched without edge lips. A new generation of CFS C-section flexural members with edge stiffened holes was recently developed by the industry. However, research on the new generation C-section members is underdeveloped and available test results are limited. This paper presents finite element analyses to study on the stability of cold-formed steel thin plates and typical C-section members when edge stiffened circular holes are placed on those plates or members. Based on the elastic buckling analyses, the optimized profiles of the holes are obtained and then applied to standard C-section flexural members. The post-buckling finite element analysis is utilized to determine the flexural strength of those members. The results indicate that the stiffened holes can significantly improve the flexural strength of CFS C-sections. New design provisions are proposed to accurately predict the flexural strength of the new generation C-section flexural members with the optimized hole profiles.
