无支撑钢框架在高温下的楼层稳定性

受高温影响的钢框架的侧向稳定性与其在环境温度下的稳定性不同。这是由于高温下钢框架的弹性模量的降级将导致柱的横向刚度也跟着减少。在楼层屈曲理论的基础上调查无支撑钢框架在高温下的横向稳定性。首先,模拟一个钢柱暴露于高温之下,提出一个分析模型来测试无支撑框架中的轴向载荷、高温以及受热边界限制的钢管的横向刚度所带来的影响。之后,提出一个评估无支撑钢框架在高温下的稳定承载力的方法。数值实例用于展示所提出的方法的评估过程,并且研究不同场景中框架构架暴露于高温时框架结构的稳定性。使用有限元分析对所提出方法进行了数值分析,验证了该方法的有效性。

Storey-based Stability of Unbraced Steel Frames at Elevated Temperature

The evaluation of the lateral stability of steel frames subject to elevated temperatures is different from that at ambient temperature. This is because the degradation of the Young's Modulus of steel associated with elevated temperature will lead to the loss of column lateral stiffness. In this study, the lateral stability of unbraced steel frames subjected to elevated temperature is investigated based on the concept of storey based buckling. First, to simulate a steel column exposed to the elevated temperature, an analytical model was proposed to examine the effects of axial loading, elevated temperature, and thermal boundary restraints on the lateral stiffness of steel columns in unbraced frames. Then, a method of evaluating the stability capacity of unbraced steel frames at elevated temperature is proposed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the evaluation procedure of the proposed method and investigate the frame stability subjected to different scenarios of frame members exposed to the elevated temperature. The validity of the proposed method is verified by the numerical analysis with the use of finite element analysis.
