Fire Conditions

Prior investigations of the load bearing capacity of bolts during fire have shown differing behaviour between bolts that were loaded by shear or by tensile loads. The interaction of the two loads has not yet been examined under fire conditions. This paper describes a preliminary test series on the post-fire performance of high-strength bolts of the property class 10.9 under combined tension and shear. The results show that how the bolt is loaded influences the load bearing capacity. It is assumed that this is also true at elevated temperatures. Further, atest set-up for experiments at elevated temperatures and a more detailed test series on the post-fire performance under combined tension and shear is presented.

The Impact

The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in multi-story buildings has become increasingly popular. Selection of HSC over normal strength concrete (NSC) allows for reducing the dimensions of the columns sections. However, this reduction has consequences on the structural performance in case of fire, as smaller cross sections lead to faster temperature increase in the section core. Besides, HSC experiences higher rates of strength loss with temperature and a higher susceptibility to spalling than NSC. The fire performance of a column can thus be affected by selecting HSC over NSC. This research performs a comparison of the fire performance of HSC and NSC columns, based on numerical simulations by finite element method. The thermal and structural analyses of the columns are conducted with the software SAFIR®. The variation of concrete strength with temperature for the different concrete classes is adopted from Eurocode. Different configurations are compared, including columns with the same load bearing capacity and columns with the same cross section. The relative loss of load bearing capacity during the fire is found to be more pronounced for HSC columns than for NSC columns. The impact on fire resistance rating is discussed. These results suggest that consideration of fire loading limits the opportunities for use of HSC, especially when the objective is to reduce the dimensions of the columns sections.

Prior investigations of the load-bearing capacity of bolts during fire have shown differing behaviour between bolts that have been loaded by shear or by tensile loads. A combination of the two loads has not yet been examined under fire conditions. This paper describes a series of tests on high-strength bolts of property class 10.9 both during and after fire under a combined shear and tensile load.

Rectangular Tube

The double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace is a new type of buckling energy consumption buckling-restrained brace. Because of its external restraining members, which are bound by high-strength bolts, its mechanical mechanism is more complicated and its failure modes are more varied. In this study, the double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace composition and three types of end constructions are introduced in detail. The influences of different design parameters on the performance of double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace are studied by numerical analysis methods; the possible failure modes and the influence of the end strengthening construction of double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace are also investigated, and a number of suggestions are proposed to improve this design. This study shows that the pinned double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace has four types of typical failure modes, namely, overall buckling failure, external end local pressure-bearing failure, bending failure of the extended strengthened core region and bolt threading failure. Rational design can prevent a buckling-restrained brace from losing its load-bearing capacity. In addition, compared with the end strengthening scheme with an external hoop, the end strengthening scheme with a strengthened bench can improve the load-bearing capacity of the double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace more effectively, and a reasonable design can also save materials.

Comparable Level

Shear-clinching allows the joining by forming of dissimilar materials with high differences between their mechanical properties without additional fasteners. Since the lower joining partner is indirectly shear cut during the process, even ultra-high strength materials can be joined. However, the cutting of the high-strength materials as well as the extrusion of the upper joining partner leads to high process forces and therefore to high tool loads. This applies in particular for the die, which is highly stressed during the cutting phase and therefore plastically deformed. Within the scope of this work, the influence of the occurring wear on the formation of the joint and its load-bearing capacity is analyzed for a scope of 500 strokes. For this purpose, press hardened 22MnB5 is used as lower joining partner. Its high strength leads to the plastic deformation of the cutting edge, which increases within the first 200 strokes. Afterwards only minor changes occur. Yet, no effect of the occurring wear on the joint formation and the joint strength, which was tested under shear and tensile load, could be determined. Functioning joints could still be produced for more than 500 strokes as the load-bearing capacity remained on a comparable level.

Structural Applications

The use of high-strength steel (HSS) is a current trend of the construction industry. Tubular profiles are widely used in various structural applications because of their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, exceptional resistance to torsion, and aesthetic appearance. However, the increase of the strength for the same elastic modulus of the material and geometry of tubular profiles is often not proportional to the rise of the load-bearing capacity of the structural element. The obtained experimental results support the above inference. The study was based on the flexural test results of two groups of HSS and normal-strength steel (NSS) tubular specimens with a 100 × 100 × 4 mm (height × width × thickness) cross-section. Numerical (finite element) simulation results demonstrated that the shape of the cross-section influenced the efficiency of utilisation of HSS. The relationship between the relative increase of the load-bearing capacity of the beam specimen and the corresponding change of the steel strength determined the utilisation efficiency.
