Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. This threat is especially valid for existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack adequate flange/web slenderness ratios. As the use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have increased in strengthening and repair of steel members in recent years, using FRPs in stabilizing local instabilities have also attracted attention. Previous computational studies have shown that longitudinally oriented glass FRP (GFRP) strips may serve to moderately brace beam flanges against the occurrence of local buckling during plastic hinging. An experimental study was conducted at Izmir Institute of Technology investigating the effects of GFRP reinforcement on local buckling behavior of existing steel I-beams with flange slenderness ratios (FSR) exceeding the slenderness limits set forth in current seismic design specifications and modified by a bottom flange triangular welded haunch. Four European HE400AA steel beams with a depth/width ratio of 1.26 and FSR of 11.4 were cyclically loaded up to 4% rotation in a cantilever beam test set-up. Both bare beams and beams with GFRP sheets were tested in order to investigate the contribution of GFRP sheets in mitigating local flange buckling. Different configurations of GFRP sheets were considered. The tests have shown that GFRP reinforcement can moderately mitigate inelastic flange local buckling.

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. Reducing the flange-web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) of beams is the most effective way in mitigating local member buckling as stipulated in the latest seismic design specifications. However, existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack the adequate slenderness ratios set forth for new buildings are vulnerable to local member buckling and thereby system-wise instability prior to reaching the required plastic rotation capacities specified for new buildings. This paper presents results from a research study investigating the cyclic behavior of steel I-beams modified by a welded haunch at the bottom flange and reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers at the plastic hinge region. Cantilever I-sections with a triangular haunch at the bottom flange and flange slenderness ratios higher then those stipulated in current design specifications were analyzed under reversed cyclic loading. Beam sections with different depth/width and flange/web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) were considered. The effect of GFRP thickness, width, and length on stabilizing plastic local buckling was investigated. The FEA results revealed that the contribution of GFRP strips to mitigation of local buckling increases with increasing depth/width ratio and decreasing FSR and WSR. Provided that the interfacial shear strength of the steel/GFRP bond surface is at least 15 MPa, GFRP reinforcement can enable deep beams with FSR of 8-9 and WSR below 55 to maintain plastic rotations in the order of 0.02 radians without experiencing any local buckling.

In desingin plate bridges, the width-thickness ratio of flanges and webs are proportioned in such that the premature local buckling of flanges and webs prior to achievement of the full strength of plate-girders must be prevented. It is the common practive in most design codes that the flange local buckling strength and the web bend buckling strength are separately computed. In most practical plate girders, however, the flange buckles simultaneously when web bend-buckling occurs, vice versa. The primary purpose of the present study is to investigate the phenomenon, which may be called flange-web interactive buckling. Using the eight-node shell element available in the commercial multi-purpose program ABAQUS, the phenomenon was quantitatively investigated. Also presented are the effects of various factors such as the ratio of flange slenderness ratio to the web slenderness ratio, the ratio of flange width to the web depth, and the longitudinal stiffeners. A series of comparative studies with various design codes show that the present study provides more accurate and effective design basis in proportioning the flanges and webs.

Conventional plate I-girders are sensitive to local buckling of the web when they are subjected mainly to shear action because the slenderness of the web in out-of-plane direction is much bigger. The local buckling of the web can also cause the distorsion of the plate flange under compression as a thin-walled plate has very low torsional stiffness due to its open section. A new I-girder consisted of corrugated web, a concrete-filled rectangular tubular flange under compression and a plate flange under tension is presented to improve its resistance to local buckling of the web and distorsion of the flat plate flange under compression. Experimental tests on a conventional plate I-girder and a new presented I-girder are conducted to study the failure process and the failure mechanisms of the two specimens. Strain developments at some critical positions, load-lateral displacement curves, and load-deflection curves of the two specimens have all be measured and analyzed. Based on these results, the failure mechanisms of the two kinds of I-girders are discussed.

In recent decades, pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) members including those of box sections have attracted the attention of researchers. Nevertheless, the lack of uniform and consistent material properties, simplified design methods, and practical design codes have so far been the main barrier for field applications. Consequently, this paper highlights the existing knowledge concerning the flexural behavior of pultruded GFRP profiles and their failure modes. In particulate, it reviews the most commonly accepted design expressions and code provisions addressing the flange local buckling of pultruded GFRP box beams as the most likely failure mode. In addition, the material characterization of GFRP sections is described in detail along with the standard test methods to quantify the material characterization of GFRP laminates. It is shown that the critical flange local buckling stresses of pultruded GFRP box beams can be predicted with reliable accuracy using the expressions promulgated by ASCE (1984) (in which the flange plates are considered simply-supported at web-flange junction) and EUR 27666. The expressions stipulated in ASCE (2010) highly overestimates the critical flange local buckling stresses of GFRP box beams resulting in unconservative predictions.

건설 재료가 나날이 발전함에 따라 재료 강도는 과거에 비하여 획기적으로 증대 되었으며, 이는 구조물의 자중을 경감 시켜 경제적인 설계를 가능하게 할 뿐 아니라, 심미적 요건까지 만족 시키고 있다. 특히 고강도 강재의 경우, 항복강도는 약 480MPa로, 일반 구조용 강재 보다 약 50% 더 크다. 그러나 고강도 재료의 사용은 단면을 세장하게 하여 국부 좌굴 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 세장 단면은 탄성 좌굴을 일으킬 수 있으며, 탄성 좌굴 강도는 경계조건에 대하여 매우 민감하다. I형 거더의 경우 복부판은 압축 플랜지의 경계조건을 결정하므로, 복부판의 강성은 얇은 압축 플랜지의 탄성 좌굴 강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 플랜지 및 복부판의 세장비가 휨 모멘트를 받는 이축대칭 I형 거더의 플랜지 탄성좌굴에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 유한요소해석결과, 탄성좌굴강도와 좌굴모드는 복부판의 지지조건의 영향 뿐 아니라 플랜지와 복부판의 세장비의 비율에 따라 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

The design of box girders requires the determinations the buckling stress of the flange and the webs. Existing design equations available in codes of practice ignore the interactions between the box girder components. The paper illustrates the influence of the geometric interaction on the buckling stress of box girders. Generalized equations are first derived in terms of the web the flange geometric properties. Industrial examples are then presented showing the variation of the flange buckling stress for various stiffening configurations. The influence of the flange/web proportions on the buckling stress of box girder components is also highlighted. It is shown that buckling strength of the flange is largely affected by the restraints imposed by the webs or attached diaphragms. Graphs are presented showing various limiting states of box girders. These graphs are useful to use in practice in order to achieve economical and efficient design of box girders and rationally predict local buckling stress.

본 I-형 수평 곡선 거더는 휨모멘트뿐만 아니라 비틀림 모멘트를 동시에 저항하고 있으며, 플레이트 거더에 작용하는 비틀림 모멘트는 균일 비틀림과 불균일 비틀림의 조합으로 결정된다. 개단면으로서 I형 단면을 가진 플레이트 거더의 경우 불균일 모멘트에 의해서 플랜지에 작용하는 법선 응력은 불균일 분포를 보이며, 곡선거더 플랜지의 한쪽 연단은 휨 법선응력과 �� 법선응력이 중첩되어 일반적인 직선거더의 플랜지보다 더 빨리 항복하는 경향을 보이게 된다. 다시 말해, 초기 곡률이 적용된 거더는 직선 거더에 비해 플랜지에 작용하는 응력분포가 저하되는 양상을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 플랜지의 세장비와 거더의 곡률 중심각을 매개변수로 하여, 수치해석을 통해 곡선 거더의 플랜지에 작용하는 응력의 저하양상을 살펴보았다.
