A model of the process of local buckling in tubular steel structural elements is presented. It is assumed that this degrading phenomenon can be lumped at plastic hinges. The model is therefore based on the concept of plastic hinge combined with the methods of continuum damage mechanics. The state of this new kind of inelastic hinge is characterized by two internal variables: the plastic rotation and the damage. The model is valid if only one local buckling appears in the plastic hinge region; for instance, in the case of framed structures subjected to monotonic loadings. Based on this damage model, a new finite element that can describe the development of local buckling is proposed. The element is the assemblage of an elastic beamcolumn and two inelastic hinges at its ends. The stiffness matrix, that depends on the level of damage, the yielding function and the damage evolution law of the two hinges define the new finite element. In order to verify model and finite element, several small-scale frames were tested in laboratory under monotonic loading. A lateral load at the top of the frame was applied in a stroke-controlled mode until local buckling appears and develops in several locations of the frame and its ultimate capacity was reached. These tests were simulated with the new finite element and comparison between model and test is presented and discussed.

본 연구에서는 비탄성 부재들의 좌굴 강도를 결정하기 위한 계산적으로 효율적인 비탄성 좌굴해석 프로그램이 개발되었다. 본 프로그램은 휨 좌굴, 휨-비틂 좌굴 혹은 국부좌굴에 의해 붕괴되는 탄성과 비탄성 부재들의 좌굴 강도 및 형상을 결정할 수 있다. 일축 대칭이나 2축 대칭인 I 형 부재를 해석할 수 있다. 복부판은 판 요소를 이용하여 모델되고, 플랜지는 보 요소로 모델되었다. 재료의 비탄성 응력-변형률 관계를 모사하기 위하여 다선형 등방경화 법칙과 증분이론이 사용되었다. 프로그램은 이론치와 실험값들을 이용하여 입증되었다. 프로그램의 결과는 이론치 및 실험값들과 잘 일치였다.

Inelastic buckling stress of Welded Thin-Walled Steel Sections was investigated by - using Spline Finite Strip Method. Several types of membrane residual stress and nonlinear stress-strain relationship were considered to produce reasonable fits to test results. A simple formula for the inelastic local buckling stress of welded sections was also proposed and compared with Korean Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

There is relatively little numerical study on the behavior of eccentrically loaded high strength rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) slender beam-columns with large depth-to-thickness ratios, which may undergo local and global buckling. This paper presents a multiscale numerical model for simulating the interaction local and global buckling behavior of high strength thin-walled rectangular CFST slender beam-columns under eccentric loading. The effects of progressive local buckling are taken into account in the mesoscale model based on fiber element formulations. Computational algorithms based on the M$\ddot{u}$ller's method are developed to obtain complete load-deflection responses of CFST slender beam-columns at the macroscale level. Performance indices are proposed to quantify the performance of CFST slender beam-columns. The accuracy of the multiscale numerical model is examined by comparisons of computer solutions with existing experimental results. The numerical model is utilized to investigate the effects of concrete compressive strength, depth-to-thickness ratio, loading eccentricity ratio and column slenderness ratio on the performance indices. The multiscale numerical model is shown to be accurate and efficient for predicting the interaction buckling behavior of high strength thin-walled CFST slender beam-columns.

The buckling is one of the major two nonlinear problems. One is the material non-linearity and other is the geometrical nonlinear. Material non-linearity has occurred when the buckling stress of material exceeded the yield stress of material. The material non-linearity must be taken into account when the buckling analysis of thick plate is performed. In this study, inelastic modulus that is used to calculate the buckling strength is taken to account for the material non-linearity. The results from experiments are used to formulate the semi-theoretical formula. The analysis results generated by the use of semi-theoretical formula are close to the experimental data.

This paper proposes a simple inelastic analysis approach to efficiently map out the complete nonlinear post-collapse (strain-softening) response and the maximum load capacity of axially loaded concrete encased steel composite columns (stub and slender). The scheme simultaneously incorporates the influences of difficult instabilizing phenomena such as concrete confinement, initial geometric imperfection, geometric nonlinearity, buckling of reinforcement bars and local buckling of structural steel, on the overall behavior of the composite columns. The proposed numerical method adopts fiber element discretization and an iterative M${\ddot{u}}$ller's algorithm with an additional adaptive technique that robustly yields solution convergence. The accuracy of the proposed analysis scheme is validated through comparisons with various available experimental benchmarks. Finally, a parametric study of various key parameters on the overall behaviors of the composite columns is conducted.

In this paper, a conventional refined plastic hinge analysis is improved to account for the effects of local buckling and lateral-torsional buckling. The degradation of flexural strength caused by these effects is implicitly considered using practical LRFD equation. The second-order effect is captured using stability functions to minimize modeling and solution time. An incremental-iterative scheme based on the generalized displacement control method is employed to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equations. A computer program is developed to predict the second-order inelastic behavior of space steel frames. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed program, the obtained results are compared with the existing results and those generated using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS. It can be concluded that the proposed program proves to be a reliable and effective tool for daily use in engineering design.

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. This threat is especially valid for existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack adequate flange/web slenderness ratios. As the use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have increased in strengthening and repair of steel members in recent years, using FRPs in stabilizing local instabilities have also attracted attention. Previous computational studies have shown that longitudinally oriented glass FRP (GFRP) strips may serve to moderately brace beam flanges against the occurrence of local buckling during plastic hinging. An experimental study was conducted at Izmir Institute of Technology investigating the effects of GFRP reinforcement on local buckling behavior of existing steel I-beams with flange slenderness ratios (FSR) exceeding the slenderness limits set forth in current seismic design specifications and modified by a bottom flange triangular welded haunch. Four European HE400AA steel beams with a depth/width ratio of 1.26 and FSR of 11.4 were cyclically loaded up to 4% rotation in a cantilever beam test set-up. Both bare beams and beams with GFRP sheets were tested in order to investigate the contribution of GFRP sheets in mitigating local flange buckling. Different configurations of GFRP sheets were considered. The tests have shown that GFRP reinforcement can moderately mitigate inelastic flange local buckling.

HSB 고강도 강재를 적용한 균일모멘트를 받는 세장 복부판을 갖는 강거더에 대하여 비탄성 횡비틂좌굴 거동을 상용 ABAQUS 프로그램을 이용하여 비선형 유한요소해석으로 분석하였다. 해석대상 강거더는 압축플랜지의 국부좌굴이 휨강도를 지배하지 않도록 플랜지는 조밀 또는 비조밀 요소에 해당하는 세장비를 갖도록 설계하였으며, 횡방향 비지지길이는 탄성 횡비틂좌굴 강도 이상의 휨강도를 갖도록 선정하였다. HSB600 및 HSB800 강재로 제작된 균질단면 강거더와 HSB800과 SM570-TMC 강재를 동시에 적용한 하이브리드 단면를 고려하였고, 일반강재와의 상대적인 비교를 위하여 SM490-TMC 균질단면 강거더에 대한 해석도 수행하였다. 비선형 유한요소해석 시에는 플랜지와 복부판을 쉘요소로, 강재는 탄소성-변형경화 재료로 모델링하였다. 초기변형과 단면의 잔류응력을 고려하였으며 이들이 비탄성 횡비틂좌굴 영역에서 휨거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 총 64개의 해석대상 강거더에 대하여 FE 해석과 설계식에 의한 휨저항강도를 비교한 결과, HSB 강재를 적용한 균질단면 및 하이브리드 단면 거더의 비탄성 횡비틂좌굴에 의한 휨강도는 현 AASHTO LRFD 압축플랜지 휨강도 탄성 설계규정을 적용하여 산정할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

유공부재의 탄성 및 비탄성 거동을 나타내기 위하여 많은 연구가 이루어져왔으나 단축하중상태의 연구에 집중되어있는 실정이다. 또한, 국부좌굴을 고려한 유공보 설계에 대한 식들은 일반적으로 Darwin의 연구결과를 토대로 하여 사용되고 있으나, 그 연구결과가 단조하중에 집중되어있어 반복하중과 국부좌굴을 고려한 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 반복하중상태에서의 7개의 원형유공보에 대한 실험이 행해졌다. 실험체의 형상 및 변수는 Darwin에 의해 제안된 설계과정에 기초를 두었다. 본 실험을 통하여, 기존 설계식의 타당성, 소성힌지의 영향, 유공 부분의 반복국부좌굴의 영향 등이 관찰 연구되었다.
