Post Buckling

The thin-webbed I-shaped members are used as the basic members for beams and columns of steel buildings in order to increase utilization ratio of steel. The local buckling can occur for these members because of the large width-thickness ratio and these members have a substantial post-buckling strength which can be used. Different codes in China have different estimation method for substantial post-buckling strength of thin-webbed I-shaped members. So it is very necessary to establish the same calculation method to consider post-buckling strength for different china codes. In this paper the effective width estimation methods of technical specification for steel structure of light weight buildings with gabled frames (CECS 102-2002), code for design of steel structures (GB50017-2003), technical code of cold-formed thin-wall steel structures (GB50018-2002), America specification (AISC: 2005), European specification (E3-1.5:2006), and Winter equation are introduced simply. The effective area of thin-webbed I-shaped members with different width-thickness ratio in web and slenderness ratio are estimated using these codes. Comparison of these estimated results show that CECS 102-2002, GB50017-2003, AISC: 2005, Winter equation, and E3-1.5:2006 may be conservative or unsafe for members with different slenderness ratio or width-thickness ratio of web. GB50018-2002 is applicable for members with different slenderness ratio or width-thickness ratio of web without considering interaction between flange and web of members and can be used to estimate the effective area of thin-webbed I-shaped members. At the same time, the calculated method of post-buckling strength of thin-webbed I-shaped members in CECS 102-2002 and GB50017-2003 could use the same method as GB50018-2002.

For the distortional buckling of cold-formed thin-wall steel members, the Direct Strength Method (DSM) is a recently adopted design approach by foreign standard, and Chinese professional standard Technical specification for low-rise cold-formed thin-wall steel buildings present the calculation formulas based on the Effective Area Method (EAM) .The key of both methods is the elastic distortional buckling stress .At present, the calculation methods about it are over conservative .Compare the calculation results of method in AISI S100with the one calculated by software CUFSM ,for C and Z sections in bending and axial compression loading respectively in the North American Specifications for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100). This paper presents revised simplified methods for calculating the elastic distortional buckling stress. The new methods yield more accurate results but similar computation cost compared to the existing methods.

Elastic Design

Based on the width-to-thickness ratio of plates, four types of sections are proposed and post-buckling design, elastic design, elastic-plastic design and plastic design are employed respectively. Taking the post-buckling strength of plates into consideration, cold-formed thin-wall steel structures shall adopt calculation by effective width, also post-buckling design, and the restrain coefficient k1 of the plate groups shall be used. The direct strength method is quite convenient but needs the finite strip method. The computation of medially stiffened plates and distortional buckling has been figured out and thus further research and supplement are necessary.

Quantitative Influence

Although it is well known that initial deflections have a significant influence on coupled buckling strength, their quantitative influence is not clear. In this paper, a series of nonlinear finite element analyses to reveal the quantitative influence of initial deflections on coupled buckling strength are conducted with MSC.Marc. There are nine kinds of combinations about the size of local and overall initial deflections including 1/75, 1/150, 1/450 of the plate width and 1/500, 1/1000, 1/3000 of the column length. In addition, the width-thickness ratio and slenderness ratio parameters are also varied in the parametrical study. Both ranges of slenderness and the width-thickness ratio parameters are from 0.1 to 2.1. As a result, the initial deflection influence coefficient is proposed to describe the quantitative influence of local and overall initial deflections on coupled buckling strength. The numerical results reveal that the coefficient decreases with the increase of initial deflections. The sensitivity of the strength to initial deflections depends on both width-thickness and slenderness ratio parameters. The maximum decrease of 21.4% on load-bearing capacity caused by local initial deflection appears when width-thickness and slenderness ratio parameters equal to 1.2 and 2.1, respectively. Column strength is quite sensitive to overall initial deflection at the slenderness ratio parameter equal to 1.4. The maximum decrease in load-bearing capacity reaches 18.2%.

Main Shocks

Numerous existing steel framed buildings located in earthquake prone regions world-wide were designed without seismic provisions. Slender beam-columns, as well as non-ductile beam-to-column connections have been employed for multi-storey moment-resisting frames (MRFs) built before the 80’s. Thus, widespread damage due to brittle failure has been commonly observed in the past earthquakes for steel MRFs. A recent post-earthquake survey carried out in the aftermath of the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic swarm has pointed out that steel structures may survive the shaking caused by several main-shocks and strong aftershocks without collapsing. Inevitably, significant lateral deformations are experienced, and, in turn, non-structural components are severely damaged thus inhibiting the use of the steel building structures. The present papers illustrates the outcomes of a recent preliminary numerical study carried out for the case of a steel MRF building located in Amatrice, Central Italy, which experienced a series of ground motion excitations suffering significant damage to the masonry infills without collapsing. A refined numerical model of the sample structure has been developed on the basis of the data collected on site. Given the lack of design drawings, the structure has been re-designed in compliance with the Italian regulations imposed at the time of construction employing the allowable stress method. The earthquake performance of the case study MRF has been then investigated through advanced nonlinear dynamic analyses and its structural performance has been evaluated according to Eurocode 8-Part 3 for existing buildings. The reliability of the codified approaches has been evaluated and possible improvements emphasized.

AbstractThe applications of skew plates in the construction of aerospace structures are well known. The critical buckling load and post-buckling strength are two important design parameters of skew composite laminates. In this study, the refined buckling and nonlinear postbuckling solutions of a homogenous isotropic skew plate based on polynomial expansions of various degrees have been examined. Numerical results based on high-order Rayleigh-Ritz solutions are presented for certain type of oblique plates.

Building Demolition

Over the past few years, the South Island of New Zealand has been subject to significant sequences of earthquake shaking. In particular, 2010-2011 events affected the city of Christchurch resulting in large scale demolition of buildings. Also, the recent and continuing 11/2016 events caused severe damage in the countryside, in small towns, and moderate damage further afield. This paper describes “low damage construction” methods being used in NZ, and especially in the Christchurch rebuild, to limit the possibility of building demolition in future large seismic events. The buildings used in the Christchurch rebuild are generally supported by structural steel framing. These steel buildings include BRB systems, EBF systems with replaceable active links, rocking systems, base isolation using friction pendulum systems and/or lead-rubber dissipaters, RBS beams, lead extrusion dissipaters, yielding flexural dissipaters, and friction connections. Concerns about a number of currently used systems are discussed.
