실 설계에서 적용되는 강곡선 플레이트거더교의 기하학적인 설계범위 내에서 횡방향변형이 충분히 지지된 강곡선 플레이트거더 복부판의 극한전단강도는 비록 직선복부판에 비해 후좌굴강도는 감소할지라도 탄성좌굴강도가 상대적으로 증가한다. 또한 강곡선 플레이트거더 복부판의 극한전단강도는 후좌굴강도를 포함한 직선플레이트거더 복부판의 극한전단강도와 같은 크기를 발현하고 있음이 여러 연구를 통해서 입증되었다. 본 연구에서는 강곡선 플레이트거더 복부판이 극한전단강도를 발현하기 위한 중간수직보강재의 소요강성에 관한 수치해석연구를 수행하였다. 수치해석결과로부터 후좌굴거동이 존재하는 강곡 선플레이트거더 복부판이 후좌굴강도를 충분히 발현하기 위해서는 현행 Guide Specifications(AASHTO, 2003)의 중간수직보강재 강성이 후좌굴거동 시에 단순지지역할을 하기에는 부족한 것으로 조사되었으며, 이를 기초로 전단좌굴강도비에 따른 소요강성식을 제안하였다.

Thin-walled cross-sections can be optimized to enhance their resistance and progress their behaviour, leading to more competent and inexpensive structural system. The aim of this study is to afford a methodology that would facilitate progress of optimized cold formed steel (CFS) column section with maximum ultimate strength for practical applications. The proposed sections are designed to comply with the geometrical standards of pre-qualified column standards for CFS structures as well as with the number of industrialized and practical constraints. The stiffening evaluation process of CFS lipped channel columns, a five different cross section are considered. The experimental strength and behaviour of the proposed sections are verified by using the finite element analysis (FEA). A series comprehensive parametric study is carried out covering a wide range of section slenderness and overall slenderness ratio of the CFS column with and without intermediate web stiffeners. The ultimate strength of the sections is determined based on the Direct Strength Specification and other design equation available from the literature for CFS structures. A modified design method is proposed for the DSM specification. The results indicate that the CFS column with complex edge and intermediate web stiffeners provides an ultimate strength which is up to 78% higher than standard optimized shapes with the same amount of cross sectional area.

This article presents the behaviour and design of cold-formed steel (CFS) web-stiffened lipped channel beams that primarily fail owing to the buckling interaction of distortional and global buckling modes. The incorporation of an intermediate stiffener in the web of the lipped channel improved the buckling performance leads to distortional buckling at intermediate length beams. The prediction of the strength of members that fail in individual buckling modes can be easily determined using the current DSM equations. However, it is difficult to estimate the strength of members undergoing buckling interactions. Special attention is required to predict the strength of the members undergoing strong buckling interactions. In the present study, the geometric dimensions of the web stiffened lipped channel beam sections were chosen such that they have almost equal distortional and global buckling stresses to have strong interactions. A validated numerical model was used to perform a parametric study and obtain design strength data for CFS web-stiffened lipped channel beams. Based on the obtained numerical data, an assessment of the current DSM equations and the equations proposed in the literature (for lipped channel CFS sections) is performed. Suitable modifications were also proposed in this work, which resulted in a higher level of design accuracy to predict the flexural strength of CFS web stiffened lipped channel beams undergoing distortional and global mode interaction. Furthermore, reliability analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the proposed modification.

Link-to-column connections in Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) have critical role in their safety and seismic performance. Accordingly, in this study, contribution of supplemental stiffeners on hysteretic behavior of the link-to-column connection is investigated. Considered stiffeners are placed on both sides and parallel to the link web between the column face and the first stiffener of the link. Hysteretic behaviors of the link beams with supplemental stiffeners are numerically investigated using a pre-validated numerical model in ANSYS. It turned out that supplemental stiffeners can change energy dissipation mechanism of intermediate links from shear-flexure to shear. Both rectangular and trapezoidal supplemental stiffeners are studied. Moreover, optimal placement of the supplemental stiffeners is also investigated. Obtained results indicate a discrepancy of less than 9% in maximum link shear of the numerical and experimental specimens. This indicates that the numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained from the test. Trapezoidal supplemental stiffeners improve rotational capacity of the link. Moreover, use of two supplemental stiffeners at both ends of the link can more effectively improve hysteretic behavior of intermediate links. Supplemental stiffeners would also alleviate the imposed demands on the connections. This latter feature is more pronounced in the case of two supplemental stiffeners at both ends of the link.

The rotation capacities of the plastic hinges located at beam-ends are significantly reduced in traditional steel framed-tube structures (SFTSs) because of the small span-to-depth ratios of the deep beams, leading to the low ductility and energy dissipation capacities of the SFTSs. High-strength steel framed-tube structures with replaceable shear links (HSSFTS-RSLs) are proposed to address this issue. A replaceable shear link is located at the mid-span of a deep spandrel beam to act as a ductile fuse to dissipate the seismic energy in HSSFTS-RSLs. A 2/3-scaled HSSFTS-RSL specimen with a shear link fabricated of high-strength low-alloy Q355 structural steel was created, and a cyclic loading test was performed to study the hysteresis behaviors of this specimen. The test results were compared to the specimens with soft steel shear links in previous studies to investigate the feasibility of using high-strength low-alloy steel for shear links in HSSFTS-RSLs. The effects of link web stiffener spaces on the cyclic performance of the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links were investigated based on the nonlinear numerical analysis. The test results indicate that the specimen with a Q355 steel shear link exhibited a reliable and stable seismic performance. If the maximum interstory drift of HSSFTS-RSL is designed lower than 2% under earthquakes, the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links can have similar seismic performance to the structures with soft steel shear links, even though these shear links have similar shear and flexural strength. For the Q355 steel shear links with web height-to-thickness ratios higher than 30.7 in HSSFTS-RSLs, it is suggested that the maximum intermediate web stiffener space is decreased by 15% from the allowable space for the shear link in AISC341-16 due to the analytical results.

본 연구에서는 I-단면 플레이트거더교의 횡비틀림 좌굴강도 평가를 위한 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 현재 국내 및 AASHTO 설계 기준에서 횡비틀림 좌굴강도는 양단의 변위가 구속된 단일 거더의 좌굴강도 식을 근거로 하고 있다. 그러나, I-단면 강교의 주거더는 한 개 이상으로 구성되고 중간가로보 또는 수직브레이싱으로 서로 연결되므로, 가로보의 휨강성과 주거더의 상호 효과를 고려한 횡좌굴강도의 평가가 필요하다. 또한, 중간가로보가 부착되는 수직보강재의 강성이 복부판의 뒤틀림과 연계하여 횡좌굴강도에 미치는 영향의 평가가 필요하다. 이에, 4-거더교에서 중간가로보 및 수직보강재의 소요 강성을 평가하기 위해 초기처짐 및 잔류응력을 고려한 3차원 쉘요소 모델을 이용하여 재료 및 기하 비선형해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 제시하였다.
