Thin-walled structures have an increasingly large and growing field of application in the engineering sector, the goal behind using this type of structure is efficiency in terms of resistance and cost, however the stability of its components (the thin walls) remains the first aspect of the behavior, and a primordial factor in the design process. The hot rolled sections are known by a consequent post-buckling reserve, cold-formed steel sections which are thin-walled elements also benefit, in this case, it seems essential to take into account the favorable effects of this reserve in to the verification procedure of the resistance with respect to the three modes of failures of this type of structure. The design method that takes into account this reserve of resistance is inevitably the effective width method. The direct strength method has been developed to improve the speed and efficiency of the design of thin-walled profiles. The latter mainly uses the buckling loads (for Local, Distortional and Global mode) obtained from a numerical analysis and the resistance curves calibrated experimentally to predict the ultimate load of the profile. Among those, the behavior of a set of Cshaped profiles (highly industrialized) is studied, this type of section is assumed to be very prone to modes of local and distortional instability. The outcome of this investigation revealed very relevant conclusions both scientifically and practically.

The Stability

Local support settlement is a typical differential settlement which may take place under steel storage tanks and can adversely affect the stability performance of such thin-walled structures. Considering the practical applications of the thin-walled steel storage tanks in industry, proper treatment of this problem is essential to ensure the high structural performance of such members which albeit requires detailed investigations. On this basis, this study investigates the effects of the local support settlement on the buckling stability of two tanks without and with a top stiffening ring through the experimental and numerical approaches. The considered tanks are small-scale models with the height-to-radius and radius-to-thickness (slenderness) ratios of 1.0 and 834, respectively. Both experimental and numerical results show that the behavior of the tank under the local support settlement is nonlinear. Moreover, the effectiveness of the top stiffening ring in limiting the buckling deformation and improving the buckling performance of the tank is demonstrated in this study.

Abstract Structural Sensitivity Analysis is performed using the direct differentiation method for buckling and free vibration problems of prismatic thin-walled structures employing the Finite Strip Method. The sensitivity of eigenvalues (critical stresses and free frequencies) with respect to variation of thickness of plate members and with respect to shape-type variations is considered. The differentiation is carried out employing analytical and semi-analytical methods. Numerical examples illustrate the sensitivity of thin-walled plates stiffened with ribs and thin-walled beams. The examples also serve for discussion of numerical efficiency and accuracy of the presented methods.

The Stability

Thin-walled structures are widely used in building construction. Stability analysis [1–10] is of major importance to the design of thin-walled structures. This paper deals with the stability analysis of the thin-walled tapered column [11–18]. The aim is to investigate the influence of variation of the web height on the stability of column and combined action of axial force and plane bending moment. Critical state is defined by stability surface obtained by numerical experiments using the finite element method. Mathematical model of the linearised stability problem is presented as algebraic eigenvalue problem (1), where eigenvalues express the critical loading factor (2). Analytical solutions are known for particular cases of separate loading (4), (5). In this paper, the column with variable I-section is presented as assemblage of beam elements with constant section. Thin-walled beam element has 14 degrees of freedom (Fig 1), including linear displacements, rotations and warping displacements. Variation of cross-section of the column (Fig 2) is defined by relative height of web alb, were a and b are the height at the ends of column. Critical state is described by stability surface obtained using numerical experiments. Stability surface presents in the space of relative variation of height a/b, relative length and relative critical force and bending moment . Variation of section influences the critical bending moment only. The influence of finite element number on the with different relative height of web a/b is investigated numerically (Fig 3), and its variation of stability surface is presented in Fig 4. The numerical results show that variation of critical moment to relative web height a/b is linear (Fig 5). The shapes of buckling modes are presented in Fig 6. Variation of stability surface to relative length (6) is presented in Figs 7 and 8 and expressed by the simple expression (6) constructed on the basis of numerical experiments. Finally, the stability model (1) is compared with nonlinear calculations performed using program ANSYS [19] and shell finite elements (Figs 9 and 10).
