The construction of a moment connection for a rectangular hollow section (RHS) column and a H-shaped beam is difficult because the RHS is a closed section. When a inner diaphragm is used for such a connection, in general, it is installed after cutting the HSS columns, which results in increased construction work. This paper suggests a new fabrication method to overcome such problems: An inner diaphragm is welded to inside a C-shaped section first, and then a column is fabricated by welding two C-shaped sections. This fabrication method is superior to a classic method in terms of constructibility. An experimental and a numerical study using Ansys 9.0 were performed in order to compare the strength of connections with respect to the presence of concrete, the corner shape of diaphragm, and the axis of loading. The experimental results including initial stiffness and ultimate loads are reported and the analytical results including load transfer mechanism, degree of stress concentration, and strain distribution are also reported.

In the field of welding the mechanical behavior of a welded structure under consideration may be predicted via heat transfer and welding residual stress analysis. Usually such numerical analyses are limited to small regular mesh models or test specimens. Nevertheless, there is very few strength assessment of the whole structure that includes the effect of welded residual stress. The present work is based on the specialized finite element codes for the calculation of nonlinear heat transfer details and residual stress including the external load on the welded RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section) T-joint connections of the whole structure. First the thermal history of the combined fillet and butt-welded T-joint equal width cold-formed RHS are calculated using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) considering the quarter model of the joint. Then using this thermal history the residual stress around the joints has been evaluated. To validity the FEA result, the calculated residual stresses were compared with the available experimental results. The residual stress obtained from the quarter model is mapped to the full model and then to the whole structure model using FEM codes. The results from the FEM codes were exported to the commercial package for visualization and further analysis applying loads and boundary conditions on the whole structure. The residual stress redistribution along with the external applied load is examined computationally.

본 논문에서는 철골 각형강관단면(RHS) 기둥-보 접합부에서 웨브의 모멘트 전달효율을 평가하였다. 먼저, 5개의 철골보접합부에 대한 비선형 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이들은 접합부 상세가 다르게 설계되었고, 따라서 휨저항 성능이 각기 다르다. 해석결과 RHS 기둥을 가진 모델은 기둥 플랜지의 면외변형 때문에 WF(Wide Flange) 기둥을 가진 모델에 비해 모멘트 전달효율이 저하함을 보였다. 스캘럽(WAH)과 얇은 강관기둥 두께도 모멘트 전달효율의 저하를 가져오는 원인으로서, 결과적으로 보-기둥 접합부의 파단을 초래할 가능성이 크다. 해석과 이전의 실험결과를 기초로 하면, 응력집중은 모멘트 전달효율과 반비례하고, 접합부의 변형능력은 모멘트 전달효율의 저하에 따라 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 더 나아가서 바닥슬래브가 있는 합성보 접합부에 대한 유한요소해석결과는 중립축이 상부플랜지 방향으로 상승함으로써 모멘트 전달효율이 저하했고, 이러한 영향은 접합부의 조기 취성파단을 초래하는 것을 보였다.

This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on cold-formed steel rectangular hollow and concrete infilled beam to column connections and frames. A stub column was chosen such that overall buckling does not influence the connection behaviour. The beam chosen was a short-span cantilever with a concentrated load applied at the free end. The beam was connected to the columns along the strong and weak axes of columns and these connections were tested to failure. Twelve experiments were conducted on cold-formed steel direct welded tubular beam to column connections and twelve experiments on connections with concrete infilled column subjected to monotonic loading. In all the experiments conducted, the stiffness of the connection, the ductility characteristics and the moment rotation behaviour were studied. The dominant mode of failure in hollow section connections was chord face yielding and not weld failure. Provision of concrete infill increases the stiffness and the ultimate moment carrying capacity substantially, irrespective of the axis of loading of the column. Weld failure and bearing failure due to transverse compression occurred in connections with concrete infilled columns. Six single-bay two storied frames both with and without concrete infill, and columns loaded along the major and minor axes were tested to failure. Concentrated load was applied at the midspan of first floor beam. The change in behaviour of the frame due to provision of infill in the column and in the entire frame was compared with hollow frames. Failure of the weld at the junction of the beam occurred for frames with infilled columns. Design expressions are suggested for the yielding of the column face in hollow sections and bearing failure in infilled columns which closely predicted the experimental failure loads.

대형 구조물의 건설과 지하공간의 활용을 위한 대규모 굴착 공사에 축방향 압축력에 대한 저항성능이 뛰어난 버팀보가 요구된다. 팔각형강관은 2축대칭 폐단면구조로 단위 길이 당 중량이 같은 경우 사각형강관에 비하여 단면2차모멘트가 크고 판의 폭-두께비는 작아 휨좌굴 및 국부좌굴에 대한 압축강도가 더 크다. 또한, 원형강관에 비하여 실제 시공단계에서 버팀보의 설치, 해체, 운반 및 적재 시 유리한 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 길이 9.6m의 팔각형강관 2개를 현장에서 볼트로 맞대기 이음하고, 양 끝에 주철로 제작한 지점연결요소를 볼트로 접합시킨 길이 20m의 팔각강관 버팀보에 대해 설계기준, 중심축의 초기폄심에 따른 유한요소해석 결과, 그리고 버팀보 재하 시험에서 얻은 결과를 서로 비교하고, 버팀보의 성능을 평가하였다. 시험 결과, 모든 버팀보 시험체의 축방향 압축강도는 도로교설계기준(2012)에 따른 값과 거의 동일하거나 그 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 초기편심은 측정한 변형률 값을 이용하여 추정할 수 있으며, 모든 버팀보 시험체의 경우 L/450 이하인 것으로 나타났다. 초기편심이 증가하면 버팀보의 압축강도는 감소하며, 횡방향하중으로 상재하중이 재하된 버팀보는 자중만 작용하는 경우에 비하여 초기편심의 증가로 인한 영향이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과, 제작 및 설치에 의해 발생하는 오차와 자중에 의한 처짐을 고려한 초기편심을 L/350 이하로 관리하면 도로교설계기준(2012)의 압축강도를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The effect of element interaction and material nonlinearity on the ultimate capacity of stainless steel plated cross-sections is investigated in this paper. The focus of the research lies in cross-sections failing by local buckling; member instabilities, distortional buckling and interactions thereof with local buckling are not considered. The cross-sections investigated include rectangular hollow sections (RHS), I sections and parallel flange channels (PFC). Based on previous finite element investigations of structural stainless steel stub columns, parametric studies were conducted and the ultimate capacity of the aforementioned cross-sections with a range of element slendernesses and aspect ratios has been obtained. Various design methods, including the effective width approach, the direct strength method (DSM), the continuous strength method (CSM) and a design method based on regression analysis, which accounts for element interaction, were assessed on the basis of the numerical results, and the relative merits and weaknesses of each design approach have been highlighted. Element interaction has been shown to be significant for slender cross-sections, whilst the behaviour of stocky cross-sections is more strongly influenced by the material strain-hardening characteristics. A modification to the continuous strength method has been proposed to allow for the effect of element interaction, which leads to more reliable ultimate capacity predictions. Comparisons with available test data have also been made to demonstrate the enhanced accuracy of the proposed method and its suitability for the treatment of local buckling in stainless steel cross-sections.
