In December 2005, one(A) of the two pre-engineered warehouse buildings in the port of K City of Korea was completely destroyed and the other(B) was seriously damaged to be demolished. Over-loaded snow and unexpected blast of wind were the causes of the accident and destructive behavior was brittle fracture caused by web local buckling and lateral torsional buckling at the flange below rafter. However, the architectural design technology of today based on material non-linear method does not consider the tolerances to solve the problem of such brittle fracture. So, geometric non-linear evaluation which includes initial deformation, width-thickness ratio, web stiffener and unbraced length is required. This study evaluates the structural safety of 4 models in terms of width-thickness ratio and unbraced length using ANSYS 9.0 with parameters such as width-thickness ratio of web, existence/non-existence of stiffener and unbraced length. The purpose of this study is to analyze destructive mechanism of the above-mentioned two warehouse buildings and to provide ways to promote the safety of pre-engineered buildings.

본 연구에서는 공칭인장강도 800MPa를 지니는 고강도 강재로 조립된 H형강보의 횡지지거리에 따른 횡비틀림 좌굴강도를 현행 강구조설계기준(KBC 2009, AISC-LRFD 2010)을 바탕으로 평가하였다. 현행 기준은 고강도 강재와 응력도-변형도 특성이 확연히 다른 항복강도 350MPa 이하의 일반강을 전제로 정립된 것으로서, 고강도 강재에 대한 현행 기준의 적합성 여부가 우선 검토되어야 한다. 본 연구의 실험체는 모두 컴팩트 단면으로서 춤-폭비(H/B) 1.7을 갖는 실험군 A(상대적 뒤틀림 강성을 통한 모멘트전달이 작은 경우)와 2.7을 갖는 실험군 B(상대적으로 모멘트전달에 뒤틀림 강성 크게 기여하는 경우)로 구성하였다. 항복 이후의 응력도-변형도 특성의 영향을 받는 비탄성 횡좌굴 거동이 유발되도록 횡지지거리를 제어하면서 횡지지 구간 내에 균등모멘트가 작용하도록 가력하였다. 두 실험군 모두 현행 기준에 요구하는 강도를 충분히 상회하였고, 특히 뒤틀림 거동을 통한 모멘트전달이 크지 않은 실험군 A의 일부실험체는 소성설계에서 요구하는 수준의 회전능력까지 발휘하였다. 이들 실험결과는 현행 기준을 고강도 강재에 보수적으로 확대하여 적용할 수 있음을 보여준다. 실험결과를 좀더 심층적으로 분석하기 위해 일반강 및 고강도강의 응력도-변형도 특성을 고려한 H형강보의 횡지지거리에 따른 비탄성 횡좌굴강도 산정식을 유효접선계수를 반영하여 해석적으로 유도하였다. 이를 통해 소재의 항복강도와 탄성계수만을 고려하여 산정되는 현행 기준의 소성횡지지거리($L_p$) 제한식은, 항복참(yield plateau)없이 즉시 변형경화하는 고강도 강재에 적용하는 경우 보수적인 결과로 귀결됨을 입증하였다. 비탄성 횡좌굴 제어를 위한 횡지지거리는 소재의 항복강도 뿐만 아니라 항복 이후의 변형경화특성까지 반영하여 정의되는 타당하므로 이에 대한 개선의 필요성이 있다.

In several design codes and specifications, simplified formulae and diagrams are given for determining the buckling lengths of frame columns. It is shown that these formulae may yield rather erroneous results in certain cases. This is due to the fact that, the code formulae utilise only local stiffness distributions. In this paper, a simplified procedure for determining approximate values for the buckling loads of multi-storey frames is developed. The procedure utilises lateral load analysis of frames and yields errors in the order of 10%, which may be considered suitable for design purposes. The proposed procedure is applied to several numerical examples and it is shown that all the errors are in the acceptable range and on the safe side.

Unbraced vinyl house frame that is economically installed is certainly easy to collapse under the influence of excess snow load. To make it more cheaply in putting up as well as more efficiently in withstanding the applied snow load, it is essential to insert additional bracing into the existing unbraced vinyl house frame. On the other hand, there are varieties of possible bracing shapes that can be formed. However, their efficiencies are different. Therefore, it is important to identify the most effective bracing shape. In this study, 2 different kinds of bracing shapes, horizontal and inclined bracing, are used to additionally install in the ordinary single frames in order to show the effect of the bracing resisting the applied snow load and compare the bending moment, axial force, combined stress and vertical displacement of the vinyl house frame.

This paper presents an efficient approach to the determination of the buckling loads of down-aisle, spliced, unbraced, pallet rack structures subjected to vertical and horizontal loads. A pallet rack structures is analysed by considering the stability equations of an equivalent free-sway column. The effects of semi-rigid beam-to-upright, splice-to-upright and base-plate-to-upright connections are fully incorporated into the analysis. Each section of upright between successive beam levels in the pallet rack is considered to be a single column element with two rotational degrees of freedom. A computer algebra package was used to determine modified stability equations for column elements containing splices. The influence of the position of splices in a pallet rack is clearly demonstrated.

본 연구의 목적은 강구조 비가새 골조의 열화특성에 영향을 미치는 구조적 인자들을 해석적인 방법으로 평가하고 설계 초기 단계에서 열화 현상을 근사적으로 평가할 수 있는 방안을 제안하는데 있다. 해석적 연구를 위해 arc length method를 적용한 2차원 2차 수정 소성힌지 해석법을 적용하였으며, 단층 단스팬 골조와 다층 단스팬, 다층 다스팬 골조에 대해 해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 주요 변수로는 축력비와 기둥 보의 강성변화를 적용하였다. 연구 결과 무차원 열화강성은 부재의 강성과 축력비에 모두 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으나, 축력비가 열화강성에 주는 영향이 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 축력비를 변수로 한 열화 강성 평가식을 제안하였다.

In the current study, the influence of the initial lateral (sweep) shape and the cross-sectional twist imperfection on the lateral torsional buckling (LTB) response of doubly-symmetric steel I-beams was investigated. The material imperfection (residual stress) was not considered. For this objective, standard European IPN 300 beam with different unbraced span was numerically analyzed for three imperfection cases: (i) no sweep and no twist (perfect); (ii) three different shapes of global sweep (half-sine, full-sine and full-parabola between the end supports); and (iii) the combination of three different sweeps with initial sinusoidal twist along the beam. The first comparison was done between the results of numerical analyses (FEM) and both a theoretical solution and the code lateral torsional buckling formulations (EC3 and AISC-LRFD). These results with no imperfection effects were then separately compared with three different shapes of global sweep and the presence of initial twist in these sweep shapes. Besides, the effects of the shapes of initial global sweep and the inclusion of sinusoidal twist on the critical buckling load of the beams were investigated to unveil which parameter was considerably effective on LTB response. The most compatible outcomes for the perfect beams was obtained from the AISC-LRFD formulation; however, the EC-3 formulation estimated the $P_{cr}$ load conservatively. The high difference from the EC-3 formulation was predicted to directly originate from the initial imperfection reduction factor and high safety factor in its formulation. Due to no consideration of geometric imperfection in the AISC-LFRD code solution and the theoretical formulation, the need to develop a practical imperfection reduction factor for AISC-LRFD and theoretical formulation was underlined. Initial imperfections were obtained to be more influential on the buckling load, as the unbraced length of a beam approached to the elastic limit unbraced length ($L_r$). Mode-compatible initial imperfection shapes should be taken into account in the design and analysis stages of the I-beam to properly estimate the geometric imperfection influence on the $P_{cr}$ load. Sweep and sweep-twist imperfections led to 10% and 15% decrease in the $P_{cr}$ load, respectively, thus; well-estimated sweep and twist imperfections should considered in the LTB of doubly-symmetric steel I-beams.

Semi-rigid connections are the actual behavior of beam-to-column connections in steel frames. However, the behavior of semi-rigid connections is not taken into account for the simplicity in the conventional analysis and design of steel frames. A computer-based analysis and design has been studied for the three-dimensional steel frames with semi-rigid connections. The nonlinear analysis which includes the effects of the flexibility of connections is used for this study. It is designed according to the buckling and combined stress constraints under the present loading after the joint deformations and the member end forces of the space frame are determined by the stiffness matrix method. The semi-rigid connection type is limited to the top and bottom angles with a double web angle connection. The Frye-Morris polynomial model is used to describe the non-linear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Various design examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method. The results of design and analysis of unbraced semi-rigid frames are compared to the results of unbraced rigid frames under the same design requirements.
