Steel Design

The importance of beam-to-column connections in determining the load–deformation behaviour of steel building frames has been recognized for more than 70 years. Yet steel design specifications, including Canadian Standard Association standard CAN3-S16.1-M84, still mandate that connections be treated as either "pinned" or "rigid," and prescribe approximate design assumptions accordingly. Structural analysis procedures and tools exist that can account adequately for connection behaviour. What is not complete is the knowledge of the force–deformation behaviour of the various connection types.In this paper, what is known of the force–deformation behaviour of the commonly used connection types is described. The factors influencing that behaviour are outlined. Procedures for modelling connection behaviour and for incorporating it into structural analysis computer programs are described. The effects of connections on the behaviour of the overall structure are described and illustrated with examples. Finally, the areas where additional research is needed are discussed. Key words: connections, steel, structural analysis, columns, semirigid design.

Using closed-form and finite element solutions derived in Part I of this paper together with a standard commercial finite element structural-analysis computer program, the joint and cross acceptances for tubes and beams with different boundary conditions are calculated as a function of the correlation length up to 10 times the length of the structures. The results are presented in the form of charts. Steps are given to show how to use these charts together with standard commercial finite-element structural-analysis computer programs to estimate the responses of single and multi-span tubes and beams to cross-flow turbulence-induced vibration. The importance of cross-modal coupling for multi-supported beams is investigated. Examples are given. [S0094-9930(00)03303-5]

The hydrodynamic mass approach to the solution of dynamic problems in coupled fluid-cylindrical shells is reviewed; simplified equations for computing the hydrodynamic masses and for the subsequent solution of the eigenvalue problem are given in several commonly encountered special cases. Methods of incorporating the hydrodynamic mass concept into finite element structural analysis computer programs for the more general cases are discussed.

With the development of technology, steel structures have been gaining increasingly widespread application, and the scope of research of steel types is also becoming increasingly broad. In addition to the four common steels used in construction, various mechanical properties and practical application of Q460 steel have also been studied at home and abroad at present. This paper introduces the research status of Q460 steel, describes its mechanical properties and the requirements for steels used in steel building structures, and analyzes the main factors influencing the properties of Q460 steel, providing some reference for practical engineering application of Q460 steel.
