Structural Behaviors

Stainless steel has been utilized on structural members of building due to significant characteristics in its superior corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetic appeal etc. Recently, structural behaviors and curling effect in single shear bolted connection fabricated with thin-walled plane plates have been studied by T.S. Kim. In this paper, finite element analysis (FEA) has been conducted based on the existing test result of channel bolted connections in austenitic stainless steel. The validation of numerical approach was verified to predict the structural behaviors such as fracture mode, ultimate strength and curling occurrence of bolted connections. Curling (out-of- plane deformation) also occurred in the connections with a long end distance like bolted connections assembled with plane plates. The curling caused the ultimate strength reduction and ultimate strength reduction caused by curling has been estimated quantitatively through the comparison of FEA results of FE models with free edge and restrained curling. Additional parametric analysis for FE models with extended variables has been performed. Therefore, the ultimate strengths were compared with current design strengths and reasonable strength formulae for connections with no curling effect were proposed.

Block Shear

Since stainless steel has significant characteristics such as its superior corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetic appeal etc., it has been utilized as structural members in buildings. Recently, ultimate behaviors and curling influence in austenitic stainless steel single shear bolted connections with thin-walled plane plates have been investigated by T.S. Kim. In this paper, finite element analysis (FEA) has been conducted based on the existing test results of angle bolted connections in fabricated with austenitic stainless steel. The validation of the numerical analysis prediction was verified through the comparison of test results for fracture mode, ultimate strength and curling occurrence. Curling (out-of- plane deformation) also observed in the connections with a long end distance. The curling caused the ultimate strength reduction and the ultimate strength reduction ratios (varied from 12% to 25%) caused by curling have been estimated quantitatively through the comparison of FEA results of FE models with free edge and restrained curling.

The experimental research for single shear bolted connection of cold-formed stainless steel fabricated with two bolts (2×1 bolt arrangement) has been conducted by T.S. Kim etc. Plate thickness and end distance parallel to the direction of loading was considered as main variables. It is found that the curling occurred easily in bolted connections with a long end distance and thinner plate. In this paper, finite element analysis study has been performed in order to compare test results with the predicted results and to investigate in detail the ultimate strength and curling influence. Finite element analysis(FEA) procedures also were introduced. FE models of connections with restrained out of plane deformation were also simulated for comparison with the curled models. Therefore, the validation of FEA in predicting ultimate strength and curling behavior was verified and the strength reduction ratio caused by curling was estimated.

This article presents the experimental and numerical results of cold-formed ferritic stainless steel (STS430) bolted connection with two bolts. Single-shear bolted connections with varying end distance were planned and tested. Block shear fracture and curling (out-of-plane deformation) were observed in specimens. Finite element analysis was performed to investigate the conditions for curling occurrence and the curling effect on the ultimate strength of ferritic stainless steel bolted connections with extended end distances and edge distances varying from 24 to 60 mm. Curling occurred for bolted connections with end distances exceeding 39 mm and edge distances exceeding 30 mm. Ultimate strength of curled specimens was reduced up to 33% compared to the ultimate strength of uncurled connection. Since current design equations do not consider the curling effect and the difference in material properties, they did not provide accurate ultimate strength predictions of specimens with typical block shear fracture and curling occurrence. Therefore, a modified block shear equation was suggested for ferritic stainless steel bolted connection with typical block shear fracture mode, considering the actual fracture path and shear stress factor. A revised equation was also proposed for specimens with strength reduction by curling influence, considering the concepts of bearing action against connected plate by bolt (bearing factor, C = 1.6) and net-section tensile fracture between two bolts perpendicular to the direction of the applied force. Moreover, additional experiments for six specimens were performed and the reliability of the two suggested equations in this study was verified.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ultimate behaviors of aluminum alloy bolted connections assembled with four bolts. Specimens for single shear bolted connections were tested and finite element analysis based on this test results was conducted. The validity of finite element(FE) analysis for predicting the structural behaviors such as ultimate strength, fracture mode and curling(out-of-plane deformation) occurrence was verified through the comparisons between test results and FE analysis results. It is known that the curling resulted in sudden strength drop. Moreover, FE models with free edge and restrained out-of-plane deformation for curled specimens are analyzed additionally, therefore, the influence of curling on the ultimate strength; strength reduction ratio is estimated.

Experimental studies for single shear bolted connection of cold-formed ferritic stainless steel fastened with two bolts (2×1 bolt array) and 3.0 mm thick plate has been performed by T.S. Kim etc. End distances parallel to the direction of applied force were considered as the main variables of specimens. Curling (out of plane deformation) was observed in bolted connection with 60mm end distance and it caused abrupt strength reduction. The purpose of this paper is to compare the analysis results with test results and investigate the curling influence on ultimate strength through numerical modelling. FE models with restrained curling were also simulated for strength comparison with the curled specimen. Therefore, the validation of finite element(FE) analysis in predicting ultimate strength and curling behaviour was verified and the strength reduction ratio by the curling was estimated.

The introduction of thin-walled stainless steel in buildings has been increased gradually for ensuring the sustainability thanks to excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Many studies on structural behaviors of stainless steel bolted connection fabricated with plane plate have been carried out. This paper is aimed at investigating the ultimate behaviors such as ultimate strength, fracture mode and out of plane deformation(i.e. curling) of channel bolted connection of cold-formed austenitic stainless steel with four bolts (2×2 bolt arrangement). End distance parallel to the direction of applied force is adopted as main variables. Specimens are planned with block shear fracture in ultimate state. In case of bolted connections with a long end distance, curling has also been observed. Ultimate strengths by test results are compared with those of current ASCE design specification and the influence of curling on ultimate strength is discussed.
