冷弯不锈钢管T型及X型节点设计

采用有限元方法,对冷弯不锈钢方管、矩形管支撑和弦杆中的T型、X型及预应力X型节点进行数值分析。考虑几何非线性和材料非线性,获得节点承载力、破坏模式及荷载-位移曲线。利用试验结果,对T型、X型矩形管、方管节点的非线性有限元模型进行修正,直到有限元结果和试验结果足够吻合。采用修正后的有限元模型对172个T型、X型节点进行参数分析,研究冷弯不锈钢管节点强度和性能的影响。将数值分析和试验中获得的节点承载力与按规范计算的设计承载力进行对比。对不锈钢管结构,采用澳大利亚规范、新西兰规范计算;对碳素钢管结构,采用国际管结构发展与研究委员会设计规范和欧洲设计规范计算。通过可靠性分析,分别评价本文提出的设计方法和现有规范的可靠度。结果表明:采用本文方法计算的设计承载力更准确、更可靠。

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 stai...
