The effect of the restraint stiffness ratio on the buckling temperature and failure temperatures could be expressed with an exponent curve while polynomial functions was appropriate for the effects of the axial load ratio and the column slenderness. The results of the proposed method were in good agreement with those by FEM method and on the safe side.

Analysis of Hysteretic Performance of C-section Specimens of Cold-formed Steel

Seven specimens were loaded with axial force and horizontal cycle force to analyze the hysteretic performance and the influencing factor as well. The influence of axial compression ratio and aspect ratio on the hysteretic performance was investigated, including the buckling behaviors and the energy dissipation. And the positive role of combined effects on the hysteretic performance of cold-formed specimens was studied emphatically. The experiment reveals that a large axial compression ratio incurs a serious decrease on hysteretic performance, while the combined effects give an increase on it. In addition, the numerical mode is set up. Considering double nonlinearity, the results of experiment and simulation match each other well. Based on the data, it is obtained that local buckling plays a great negative role during the loading course. At last, the characteristics of hysteretic performance of cold-formed steel specimens are concluded and some suggestions are given.

应用ANSYS有限元,分析了Q460高强钢焊接薄腹工形截面双向压弯构件的稳定性能,提出了可供实际应用参考的设计公式。分析中考虑的主要参数有腹板高厚比,构件长细比,翼缘宽厚比及荷载偏心率。结果表明,对受压为主的构件,腹板局部屈曲对构件稳定承载力影响较大,而对受弯为主的构件,这一因素对构件稳定承载力影响较小。有限元分析结果与现行规范方法计算结果比较表明,目前规范方法尚不能较好地计算高强钢焊接薄腹工形截面双向压弯构件的稳定承载力,因而提出了修正直接强度法,该法精度较好且偏于安全。     

Stability Behavior of Shuttle-Shaped Steel Lattice Columns With Bending Moment

The stability behavior of shuttle-shaped steel lattice columns subject to combined axial force and bending moment was examined through elastic buckling analysis and geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis. Firstly, the concept of section stiffness variation ratio is proposed for shuttle-shaped lattice columns and the elastic buckling behavior is discussed. Then, the effect of bending moment on the stability behavior of lattice columns is investigated, with the emphasis on the development of axial stress, bending stress and shear stress. The influence of column component spacing and diaphragm thickness on the stability bearing capacity is also analyzed. It is shown that the elastic buckling mode of the lattice column is dependent on its section stiffness variation ratio; for lattice columns with C-shaped buckling mode, the reduction in stability bearing capacity caused by bending moment is smaller than that of columns with S-shaped buckling mode; the maximum stability bearing capacity of the lattice column can be achieved by adjusting the column component spacing, and the spacing corresponding to the maximum capacity is basically consistent with the critical spacing for transformation of C-shaped buckling mode and S-shaped mode; and it is more effective to increase the thickness of columns with S-shaped buckling mode to get larger bearing capacity.

The experiments were carried out to investigate the behavior and failure modes of Q420 double-angle combined cross-section members whose specification were L160×12, L160×14, L160×16.

Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.

Experimental study on the mechanical behavior of eccentrically loaded steel tubular columns filled with structural steel and concrete

Considered strength classes of concrete, ratio of structural steel to concrete, ratio of steel tube to concrete and eccentricity ratio of load, 6 test specimens of steel tubular columns filled with structural and concrete are designed. The damage phenomena of specimens are described in detail and the failure mechanism is analyzed. The results show the initial failure of the specimens are began from the yield of steel tube, the ultimate failure are ended from the buckling of steel tube caused by the expansion of core concrete. Due to the existence of structural steel, the ductility of specimens is superior to steel tubular columns. Before the yield of steel tube, the plane cross-section assumption of specimens can be put into use. The ultimate bearing capacity of specimens is increased with the increase of strength classes of concrete, ratio of structural steel to concrete and ratio of steel tube to concrete. But the ultimate bearing capacity and ductility are decreased with the increase of eccentricity ratio.     

Design Method of Reinforced Concrete Sandwich Beam column Joints

The experimental results of reinforced concrete sandwich beam column joints were studied intensively and finite element method simulation of such joints were performed for the sake of design method.Basic design criterion and computation contents were provided according to failure mode of specimens and other experimental results.And the limits of parameters were proposed based on the analysis of seismic behavior influence factors and comparison of traditional joints and sandwich joints.Hence, formulas of load resistant capacity were acquired by the results of load resistant capacity of specimens and nonlinear finite element method simulation.It is found that three measures should be taken for sandwich joints in order to reach demanded ductility and load resistant capability.Firstly, several parameters should be limited, including shear compression ratio, axial load ratio, ratio of beam concrete strength to column concrete strength, and minimal amount of transverse reinforcement of joint.Secondly, shear load resistant capacity and axial compressive load resistant capacity should be computed to ensure load resistant capability of joint, and essential strengthen measures could be applied if necessary.Thirdly, appropriate construction details should be taken to avoid reducing of beam bar anchorage capacity.     

GBT-based Buckling Loads Formula of Non-linear Thin-walled Compressed Members

A buckling loads formula based on Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) was proposed, which could be used in non-linear elastic metallic materials thin-walled compressed members, such as stainless steel. By introducing non-linear stress-strain relations and instantaneous elastic modulus, the modifications were incorporated in the conventional GBT, and the expressions were formulated to calculate buckling loads of stainless steel members buckling in local, distortional and global modes. Compared with the existed test results, it is shown that linear elastic method cannot deal with stainless steel, while the results of proposed method are much more reliable. Moreover, the modified GBT method with deformation plasticity theories produces safer results, which could be used in determining buckling loads of non-linear metallic materials thin-walled members in compression, as well as structural design and further researches.     

Seismic Characteristics of Widened Beam Flange Joints

In order to analyze the seismic behavior of widened beam flange joints, 16 specimens were derived from finite element models base on experiments. The effects of some parameters, such as the increased width and length, on ultimate load and ductility performance of joints were further discussed with ANSYS finite element method. According to specimen failure phenomenon of both experiment and finite element method, the weak link of the joints was found and the cracking possibility was evaluated. A theoretical analysis of the fracture mechanism of widened beam flange connection was conducted. In addition, design method of widened beam flange parameters was introduced, which will offer valuable information and reference for seismic design in steel frame joints.     

Shear Performance of Steel Plate with Trilateral Constrained

The load carrying test for four steel plate shear walls specimens with various ratio of width thickness are carried out so as to test the failure mode and the shear strength of steel plate with trilateral constrained, and the lateral stiffness and the buckling mode are investigated in the test. The result indicates that the ratio of width thickness of steel plate exerts effects on the shear carrying capacity and failure mode; the buckling of steel plate does not have lateral stiffness. Based on the failure mode of steel plate, the computation model of lateral performance is presented by theoretical analysis. The restraining stiffness of double angle and the buckling restrained stiffness of steel plate are the important design conditions. Formulae to determine the elastic lateral stiffness and the angle type is proposed, which can be used in the preliminary design of steel plate with trilateral constrained.     

Collapse Analysis of Steel Trussed Arch Structure Considering Damage Cumulative Effect

Based on an actual project, the ABAQUS material subroutine considering damage cumulative effect and member buckling was adopted to analyze the collapse process of steel trussed arch structure. The failure mechanism and the failure mode of such structure under severe earthquake conditions were studied. The results indicated that, under the action of severe earthquakes, the cumulative damage increased and structural stiffness declined, which leading to the structure failure. The damage cumulative effect caused the decrease of the member stress and the increase of nodal displacement and member strain. Subjected to seismic waves, the webs at the columns of the middle main truss failed at first; then the failure region extended along the out-of-plane direction of the main truss and extended from the column foot to the top of structure. After the earthquake, the webs at the one-quarter point of the main truss and the webs at columns with large slenderness ratio buckled. It will lead to early failure of part members if member buckling is considered. However, it has little effect on the failure mode of structure.
