Pultruded cross-sections are always thin-walled due to constraints in the manufacturing process. Thus, the buckling strength determines the overall strength of the member. The elastic buckling of pultruded angle sections subjected to direct compression is studied. The lateral-torsional buckling, very likely to appear in thin-walled cross-sections, is investigated. Plate theory is used to allow for cross-sectional distortion. Shear effects and bending-twisting coupling are accounted for in the analysis because of their significant role. A simplified approach for determining the maximum load of equal leg angle sections under compression is presented. The analytical results obtained in this study are compared to the manufacturer's design guidelines for compression members as well as with the design specifications for steel structural members. Experimental results are obtained for various length specimens of pultruded angle sections. The results presented in this paper correspond to actual pultruded equal leg angle sections being used in civil engineering structures.

이 연구에서는 직교이방성 판의 좌굴 및 직교이방성 판요소로 구성된 구조용 압축재의 국부좌굴에 대한 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 섬유보강 폴리머 플라스틱 재료는 높은 비강도 및 비강성, 높은 부식저항성, 경량성 등 강재나 콘크리트와 비교해서 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 특히, 펄트루젼 생산 방식은 섬유보강 폴리머 플라스틱 재료의 여러가지 생산방법 중 구조용 플라스틱 부재를 대량으로 생산하기에 가장 적합한 방법이다. 펄트루젼 생산방식은 부재의 축을 따라 주요 보강섬유가 배치되기 때문에 이 재료는 직교이방성으로 간주된다. 그러나, 펄트루젼 섬유보강 플라스틱 부재는 낮은 탄성을 갖고 있고 얇은 판요소로 구성되어 있기 때문에 압축하중이 재하될 경우 좌굴이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 이 부재를 설계하는데 안정성은 매우 중요한 문제가 된다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 연구를 따라서 직교이방성 판 및 직교이방성 판요소로 구성된 압축재의 국부좌굴에 대하여 검토하였으며, 국내에서 생산된 직교이방성 판요소로 구성된 압축재의 국부좌굴강도를 계산하였다.

This paper is concerned with inelastic load carrying capacity of tapered steel members with or without accumulated plastic strains resulted from previous loading histories. A finite element program is developed using stiffness matrices of tapered members and is applicable for analyses with material and geometric nonlinearity. Results of analyses are compared with other available solutions and with experimental results.

This paper is concerned with the change of joint rigidity in estimating the degree of semi-rigidity of connections and the buckling load in a single layer latticed dome. The estimations are based on information about the ratio for the rotational stiffness of the connection to the flexural stiffness of the member and the minimum eigenvalue of a structure for pinned, semi-rigid and completely rigid cases, respectively. Connection characteristics are reflected in the ratio control of joint rigidity for the DOFs to be related using the spring element by FEM.

This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of axially-loaded steel RHS (rectangular hollow section) compression members that are partially reinforced along their lengths with welded steel plates. 28 slender column tests were carried out to investigate the effects of the slenderness ratio of the unreinforced member and the ratio of the reinforced length of the member to its entire length. In addition to the slender column tests, 14 stub-column tests were conducted to determine the basic mechanical properties of the test specimens under uniform compression. Test results show that both the compressive strength and stiffness of an RHS member can be increased significantly compared to its unreinforced counterpart even when only the central quarter of the member is reinforced. Based on the limited test data, it can be concluded that partial reinforcement is, in general, more effective in members with larger slenderness ratios. A simple design expression is also proposed to predict the compressive strength of RHS columns partially reinforced along their length with welded steel plates by modifying the provisions of AISC 360-10 to account for the partial reinforcement.

This study examined the structural behaviors and ultimate loads of assembled system scaffolds by load tests. Considering the number of bay and bracing installation, four specimens were tested. The bays were divided into 1 bay and 2 bays, with and without the bracing member installed. Failure modes and horizontal displacements show that the whole column buckled without showing no point of inflection in the column, regardless of whether or not braces were installed. Thus, the current design method of selecting the vertical spacing between the horizontal members of the system scaffold as the effective buckling length underestimates the effective buckling length. In case of 1 bay specimens, the ultimate loads between specimens with and with bracing members are similar. However, in case of 2 bay specimens, the specimen with bracing members shows the increased ultimate load of 36% compared with that without bracing members. In addition, as the number of bays in the system scaffold increases, the ultimate load of the unit vertical column increases in case of the specimen with bracing installation. However, in the specimen without bracing members, the ultimate load of the unit column reduces with the increment of the number of bays due to the torsional buckling. Therefore, it is essential to install bracing members to increase the whole strength of system scaffolds and the ultimate load of the unit column.

This paper investigates the characteristics of unstable behaviour and critical buckling load by joint rigidity of framed large spatial structures which are sensitive to initial conditions. To distinguish the stable from the unstable, a singular point on equilibrium path and a critical buckling level are computed by the eigenvalues and determinants of the tangential stiffness matrix. For the case study, a two-free node example and a folded plate typed long span example with 325 nodes are adopted, and these adopted examples' nonlinear analysis and unstable characteristics are analyzed. The numerical results in the case of the two-free node example indicate that as the influence of snap-through is bigger; that of bifurcation buckling is lower than that of the joint rigidity as the influence of snap-through is lower. Besides, when the rigidity decreases, the critical buckling load ratio increases. These results are similar to those of the folded-typed long span example. When the buckling load ratio is 0.6 or less, the rigidity greatly increases.

양단 핀지지 기둥부재의 중간 위치에 수평재를 연결하고 설치된 수평재의 양끝단과 기둥의 상하끝단을 트러스로 연결된 트러스보강 단일기둥시스템은 보강되지 않은 경우에 비해 그 좌굴강도가 상당수준 향상될 수 있다. 수평재가 설치된 기둥중간지점에서의 수평 및 회전 자유도에 대한 제한하여 기둥의 유효좌굴길이를 줄이는 효과를 통해 강도향상이 구현된다. 본 연구에서는 해석적 해와 탄성 및 비탄성 유한요소해석을 통해 보강된 평면내 단일기둥 시스템의 좌굴강도를 정량적으로 산정하였고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 예제해석을 통해 보강된 단일기둥시스템은 보강되지 않은 단순기둥에 비해 최대 8배까지 좌굴강도가 향상될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

This study deals with the Lateral-Torsional Buckling (LTB) of a mono-symmetric tapered I-beam, in which the cross-section is varying longitudinally. To obtain the buckling moment, two concentrated bending moments should be applied at the two ends of the structure. This structure is made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). The Young's and shear modules change linearly along the longitudinal direction of the beam. It is considered that this tapered beam is laterally restrained continuously, by using torsional springs. Furthermore, two rotational bending springs are employed at the two structural ends. To achieve the buckling moment, Ritz solution method is utilized. The response of critical buckling moment of the beam is obtained by minimizing the total potential energy relation. The lateral and torsional displacement fields of the beam are interpolated by harmonic functions. These functions satisfy the boundary conditions. Two different support conditions are considered in this study. The obtained formulation is validated by solving benchmark problems. Moreover, some numerical studies are implemented to show the accuracy, efficiency and high performance of the proposed formulation.

본 연구의 목적은 평면 트러스의 단면치수 및 형 상 최적화 알고리즘을 개발 하는 것이다. 본 연구에 적용된 최적화 기법은 무제약 축차선형화기법(SUMT)의 extended penalty method와 다변수(多變數)를 가지는 직접탐사법인 Hooke & Jeeves method이다. 상기(上記) 언급된 두 방법은 단면최적화와 형상최적화 과정의 각 단계에서 반복적 다 최적설계 과정에서 최종의 최적값이 구해질 때까지 단면최적화와 형상최적화 과정이 반복적으로 상호작용하게 된다. 트러스의 형상최적화에 관한 기존의 연구문헌에서는 최적화의 설계변수로서 부재의 단면적과 절점좌표를 사용하였다. 이렇게 할 경우, 압축재의 좌굴특성을 제대로 반영하기 어려우므로 한정된 조건으로 좌굴특성을 부여하게 되어 보다 실제적인 최적설계에 많은 제약을 가져오게 되므로 본 연구에서는 부재의 실제치수와 절점좌표를 최적화의 설계 변수로 취하게 되므로 부재치수의 변화에 따른 좌굴특성의 변화를 최대한 반영할 수 있다.
