Abstract

Owing to the advantages of reduced weight and wind effect, the space-framed towers that consist of vertical and horizontal members of circular hollow tubular sections have been adopted widely for various purposes. It is critical to guarantee the strengths of tubular joints where vertical and horizontal members are connected structurally to make the entire space-framed system behave as a single tower structure. In this study, a strength evaluation was conducted for T-type tubular joints subjected to the concurrent action of compression and bending. Three of the available design codes, i.e., AISC, Eurocode 3, ISO 19902 were investigated and a design equation was suggested for an ultimate strength interaction between the axial force and bending moment based on nonlinear finite element analyses by selecting the slenderness ratios at the joints as major parameters.

수직 및 수평의 원형단면 강관으로 구성된 공간프레임 타워는 강재량을 줄이면서도 풍하중의 영향을 완화시킬 수 있는 장점으로 다양한 목적으로 널리 적용되고 있다. 이러한 공간프레임 타워를 하나의 타워구조로 거동하게 하기 위해서는 수직 강관과 수평 강관의 연결부인 강관조인트의 강도 확보가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 압축과 휨이 동시에 작용하는 강관 T조인트의 강도평가를 수행하였다. AISC, Eurocode3, ISO 19902의 3가지 강관조인트 설계기준을 검토하고, 주강관과 지강관의 세장비를 주요 매개변수로 한 비선형 유한요소해석을 통하여 축력과 모멘트에 대한 극한강도 상호작용을 설계식으로 제안하였다.
