Isolated RC wall subjected to biaxial bending moment and axial force

Problems regarding the combined axial force and bending moment for the behaviour of semi-rigid steel joints under service loading have been recognized in recent studies. As an extended research on the cyclic behaviour of a bolted endplate joint, this study is performed relating to the contribution of column axial force on the cyclic behaviour of the joint. Using finite element analysis, the deteriorations of the joint performance have been evaluated. The preliminary parametric study of the joint is conducted with the consideration of flexibility of the column flange. The column axial force was observed to significantly influence the joint behaviour when the bending of the column flange dominates the failure modes. The reductions of moment resistance predicted by numerical analysis have been compared with codified suggestions. Comments have been made for further consideration of the influence of column axial load in seismic design of bolted endplate joints.

Cyclic Bending Moment

The criteria of piping seismic design based on linear elastic analysis has been proved to be conservative, which is mainly because the influence of plastic deformation on piping dynamic response is neglected. In the present paper, a pipe under seismic excitation is simplified as an beam with tubular cross section subjected to steady axial force and fully reversed cyclic bending moment, and the elastic-plastic behavior of the pipe is studied. Various behavior of the pipe under different combinations of axial force and cyclic bending moment is discussed and the boundary curve equations between them are obtained. Also the load regime diagram for a pipe which is formed by the boundary curve equations in the loading plane is given, from which the elastic-plastic behavior of the pipe can be determined directly.

Basic Equations

Current methodologies for predicting the crack opening displacement (COD) of circumferentially through-wall cracked pipe do not include the effect of weld residual stresses (WRS). Even the most advanced COD prediction methodology only includes the effect of applied axial force, bending moment, and crack face pressure. For some years, it has been known that weld residual stresses do alter the COD, but there has been no convenient way to include them in a COD prediction without doing case-specific finite element analyses. This paper documents a generalized solution for including WRS effects on COD. The model uses a closed-form analytic solution to approximate the crack face rotations that the WRS would induce which, subsequently, can be added to the typical axial force-bending-crack face pressure COD solution. The methodology is described and the basic equations for the solution are presented. Following this, application to cases to evaluate the efficacy of the approach are presented which show a mixture of results ranging from amazingly good to “of questionable value” with respect to the FEA results.
