Tubular member is hollow and is an excellent source of structural member with great buckling resistance and tortional resistance. With its development and simplicity in structure, steel tubular truss has the ability to be structured in long span bridges, without a stiffener. Recently, it has been used in many countries in Europe, Canada, Japan, and the US with the help of international committees such as CIDECT(International Committee for the Development and Study of Tubular Structures and International Institute of Welding). The most important problem when using the tubular member is the fact that it is difficult to test the fatigue stress determined by nominal stress, since geometrical stress concentration occurs due to the welded joint's nod of complexity. The purpose of this study is to compare and examine current theories and widely applied Hot Spot stress determinations through finite element analysis, which is about welded joints of steel tubular truss. We would like to suggest a way of design practice which involves a bridge plan with rarely domestically used steel tubular truss` basic research data as well as considering the future of tubular member.

The capacity of tubular truss chords subjected to concentrated reaction forces in the vicinity of the open end (i.e., the bearing region) is not directly treated by existing design specifications; although capacity equations are promulgated for related tubular joint configurations. The lack of direct treatment of bearing capacity in existing design specifications seems to represent an unsatisfactory situation given the fact that connections very often control the design of long-span tubular structures comprised of members with slender cross-sections. The case of the simple-span overhead highway sign truss is studied, in which the bearing reaction is applied near the chord end. The present research is aimed at assessing the validity of adapting existing specifications' capacity equations from related cases so as to be applicable in determining design capacity in tubular truss bearing regions. These modified capacity equations are subsequently used in comparisons with full-scale experimental results obtained from testing carried out at the University of Pittsburgh.

This paper reports on finite element analysis techniques that may be applied to the study of circular hollow structural sections and related bearing connection geometries. Specifically, a connection detail involving curved steel saddle bearings and a Structural Tee (ST) connected directly to a large-diameter Hollow Structural Section (HSS) truss chord, near its open end, is considered. The modeling is carried out using experimentally verified techniques. It is determined that the primary mechanism of failure involves a flexural collapse of the HSS chord through plastification of the chord wall into a well-defined yield line mechanism; a limit state for which a shell-based finite element model is well-suited to capture. It is also found that classical metal plasticity material models may be somewhat limited in their applicability to steels in fabricated tubular members.

For determining the in-plane buckling resistance of a concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch, the current technical code GB50923-2013 specifies the use of an equivalent beam-column method which ignores the effect of rise-to-span ratio. This may induce a gap between the calculated result and actual stability capacity. In this study, a FE model is used to predict the buckling behavior of CFST truss arches subjected to uniformly distributed loads. The influence of rise-to-span ratio on the capacity of truss arches is investigated, and it is found that the stability capacity reduces as rise-to-span ratio declines. Besides, the calculations of equivalent slenderness ratio for different truss sections are made to consider the effect of shear deformation. Moreover, based on FE results, a new design equation is proposed to predict the in-plane strength of CFST parabolic truss arches under uniformly distributed loads.

대스팬 철골구조물의 지붕구조로서 강관트러스가 많이 사용되고 있다. 강관트러스는 타 단면(H, L형강 등)에 비하여 구조역학적인 측면에서 유리하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 지관의 압축력에 의하여 격점부에는 국부좌굴이 발생하고 이로 인하여 구조체 전체의 내력이 격점부의 지배를 받게 된다. 또한 강관 격점부에서의 내력 및 변형 성상은 거동이 복잡하여 정확한 거동을 예측하기 어려울뿐만 아니라 해석적으로 정밀해를 구하기 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 T형 격점부를 대상으로 지관과 주관의 직경비(d/D) 주관경과 두께비(D/T)에 관한 변수를 설정하여 일련의 실험을 진행하고 기초하여 단순한 링해석법을 이용하여 항복하중에 관한 실용해를 제안하였다. 또한 부가적으로 각국에서 제안된 항복하중에 관한 기존의 연구결과와도 비교, 검토하였다.

This paper describes the buckling phenomenon of a tubular truss with unsupported length through a full-scale test and presents a practical computational method for the design of the trusses allowing for the contribution of torsional stiffness against buckling, of which the effect has never been considered previously by others. The current practice for the design of a planar truss has largely been based on the linear elastic approach which cannot allow for the contribution of torsional stiffness and tension members in a structural system against buckling. The over-simplified analytical technique is unable to provide a realistic and an economical design to a structure. In this paper the stability theory is applied to the second-order analysis and design of the structural form, with detailed allowance for the instability and second-order effects in compliance with design code requirements. Finally, the paper demonstrates the application of the proposed method to the stability design of a commonly adopted truss system used in support of glass panels in which lateral bracing members are highly undesirable for economical and aesthetic reasons.

This paper presents the experimental investigations on the seismic performance of a peculiar steel-concrete vertical hybrid structural system referred to as steel truss-RC tubular column hybrid structure. It is typically applied as the supporting structural system to house air-cooled condensers in thermal power plants (TPPs). Firstly, pseudo-dynamic tests (PDTs) are performed on a scaled substructure to investigate the seismic performance of this hybrid structure under different hazard levels. The deformation performance, deterioration behavior and energy dissipation characteristics are analyzed. Then, a cyclic loading test is conducted after the final loading case of PDTs to verify the ultimate seismic resistant capacity of this hybrid structure. Finally, the failure mechanism is discussed through mechanical analysis based on the test results. The research results indicate that the steel truss-RC tubular column hybrid structure is an anti-seismic structural system with single-fortification line. RC tubular columns are the main energy dissipated components. The truss-to-column connections are the structural weak parts. In general, it has good ductile performance to satisfy the seismic design requirements in high-intensity earthquake regions.

Tubular structures are widely used for offshore platforms and truss type structures. In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis is used to assess the static strength of stiffened tubular T-joints subjected to compressive brace loading. This joints was modelled with and without internal ring stiffener According to variation of ring geometries, the effect of ring stiffener for T-joints are investigated. Internal ring stiffener is found to be efficient improving ultimate strength of tubular joints. Relations of ring thickness and axial strength are observed considering geometric parameters of ring stiffeners.

본 연구에서는 f/L비가 CFT 트러스 거더의 극한강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 CFT 트러스 거더의 정적실험을 수행하였다. f/L비가 다른 2개의 CFT 트러스 거더를 제작하여 휨 실험을 수행하였다. CFT 트러스 거더의 지간은 20,000 mm이고, 상현재와 하현재는 콘크리트를 충전한 원형 강관 단면으로 구성되었다. 주요 실험변수인 f/L비가 극한강도와 강성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과, CFT 트러스 거더는 우수한 탄소성 특성과 연성능력을 보였고, f/L비는 CFT 트러스 거더의 전체 강성을 증가시켜 극한강도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. CFT 트러스 거더의 f/L비가 증가하면 극한강도가 증가하는데 f/L비가 2배 증가하면 극한강도는 약 80% 정도 증가하였다. 또한, CFT 트러스 거더는 극한강도에 도달한 이후에도 상당한 수준의 변형능력을 보여 주었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해서 CFT 트러스 거더는 교량의 거더 부재로 효율적으로 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.
