Tubular construction is widely used in a range of civil and structural engineering applications. To date, the principal product range has comprised square, rectangular and circular hollow sections. However, hot-rolled structural steel elliptical hollow sections have been recently introduced and offer further choice to engineers and architects. Currently though, a lack of fundamental structural performance data and verified structural design guidance is inhibiting uptake. Of fundamental importance to structural metallic design is the concept of cross-section classification. This paper proposes slenderness parameters and a system of cross-section classification limits for elliptical hollow sections, developed on the basis of laboratory tests and numerical simulations. Four classes of cross-sections, namely Class 1 to 4 have been defined with limiting slenderness values. For the special case of elliptical hollow sections with an aspect ratio of unity, consistency with the slenderness limits for circular hollow sections in Eurocode 3 has been achieved. The proposed system of cross-section classification underpins the development of further design guidance for elliptical hollow sections.

Plate elements in fully profiled sandwich panels are generally subjected to local buckling failure modes and this behaviour is treated in design by using the conventional effective width method for plates with a width to thickness (b/t) ratio less than 100. If the plate elements are very slender (b/t > 1000), the panel failure is governed by wrinkling instead of local buckling and the strength is determined by the flexural wrinkling formula. The plate elements in fully profiled sandwich panels do not fail by wrinkling as their b/t ratio is generally in the range of 100 to 600. For this plate slenderness region, it was found that the current effective width formula overestimates the strength of the fully profiled sandwich panels whereas the wrinkling formula underestimates it. Hence a new effective width design equation has been developed for practical plate slenderness values. However, no guidelines exist to identify the plate slenderness (b/t) limits defining the local buckling, wrinkling and the intermediate regions so that appropriate design rules can be used based on plate slenderness ratios. A research study was therefore conducted using experimental and numerical studies to investigate the effect of plate slenderness ratio on the ultimate strength behaviour of foam supported steel plate elements. This paper presents the details of the study and the results.

본 연구에서는 수평보강재가 설치된 세장한 복부판을 갖는 플레이트 거더의 휨강도 평가를 위한 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. SM490강재를 대상으로 해석에서 구해진 휨강도를 AASHTO LRFD 기준 및 Eurocode 3 기준과 비교한 결과, 특히 AASHTO LRFD 기준은 수평보강재로 보강된 복부판의 세장비가 감소함에 따라 휨강도를 크게 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그 원인은 현재 AASHTO LRFD 기준은 수평보강재 보강에 따른 복부판의 비조밀 및 조밀 한계세장비 증가를 고려하지 않은 점과 보강 복부판이 압축플랜지의 회전을 구속하는 효과가 증가하는 것을 적절히 고려하지 않기 때문으로 분석되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보강 시 복부판과 플랜지의 한계세장비를 제안하였으며, 이를 AASHTO LRFD 기준에 적용함으로써 휨강도를 비교적 합리적으로 평가할 수 있음을 제시하였다.

구조물이 지진과 같은 수평력을 받으면 골조의 기둥은 횡이동을 하게 되고 이 횡이동이 크면 골조는 불안정 좌굴, 초기항복, 골조전체의 강성이 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 골조의 기둥이 횡이동에 의해 수평력과 축력을 동시에 받는 강골조를 대상으로하여 골조강성의 저하, 보와 기둥의 상대적인 강성비, 세장비효과, 하중조건 등을 고려한 다양한 해석모델을 상정하여 수치해석을 실시했다. 그 해석결과를 분석하여 강골조의 최대수평내력을 평가하고, 기둥의 세장비 제한치를 구하는 절차에 대해서도 검토한다. 해석에 있어서는, 골조의 $P-{\Delta}$효과를 고려해서 기발표된 저자의 탄소성해석법을 이용하여 일정한 축력하에 점증의 수평력을 골조에 가했으며, 최대내력후의 해법으로서 일반역행렬을 응용했다.

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.

In general, the strength and stiffness of laminated composite cylinderical shells are very sensitive to the variation of slenderness parameters, some coupling-stiffness parameters, lamination angles, stacking sequence and number of layers. In the paper, the effects of these factors on the strength and buckling reliabilities of GFRP laminated cyclinderical shells are investigated based on the proposed strength and buckling limit state models. It may be concluded that the applicable ranges of the slenderness limits of the strength and buckling failure criteria for laminated composite cylinderical shells should be indentified and incorporated into the design formula with appropriate safety factors which provide uniform consistent reliability for balanced design in practice.

본 연구에서는 향후 기준집필 및 연구방향 제시를 위한 선행연구로써, 2005/2010 AISC, ACI 318-08과 EC4 내 각형 CFT 기둥 설계조항 간의 부재강도 산정포맷, 단면구조성능, 구속효과. 재료강도 상한 및 강재비, 판-폭 두께비 제한 등을 간략히 요약하고 비교분석하였다. 전반적으로 2010 AISC는 ACI 기준과의 충돌 완화를 위해 변형률적합법을 도입하는 등 최신 실험 및 연구 결과들을 반영하여 개정하였으며 CFT 기둥에서 세장비를 더욱 세분화하거나 내진 판-폭 두께비를 고연성과 중간연성 부재로 구분하는 등, 타 기준에 비해 발전된 형태의 방안을 제시하고 있다. 하지만 AISC와 EC4에서의 재료강도 상한치는 너무나 제한적이기때문에 현재 사용 가능한 고강도 재료실험 데이터베이스를 고려하여 완화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구를 통해 AISC, ACI, EC4에서 제시하는 각형 CFT 기둥의 P-M 조합강도 산정식은 다양한 설계조건에 대해 만족스러운 강도예측을 하지 못함을 확인하였다. 따라서 각형 CFT 기둥의 신뢰도 높은 P-M 조합강도 산정을 위하여 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률 관계를 합리적으로 반영할 수 있는 실용적인 구성 방정식이 개발되어야 한다.

The absence of an important portion of the web plate in steel beams with multiple circular perforations, cellular beams, causes the web plate to undergo distortions prior to and during lateral torsional buckling (LTB). The conventional LTB equations in the codes and literature underestimate the buckling moments of cellular beams due to web distortions. The present study is an attempt to develop analytical methods for estimating the elastic buckling moments of cellular beams. The proposed methods rely on the reductions in the torsional and warping rigidities of the beams due to web distortions and the reductions in the weak-axis bending and torsional rigidities due to the presence of web openings. To test the accuracy of the analytical estimates from proposed solutions, a total of 114 finite element analyses were conducted for six different standard IPEO sections and varying unbraced lengths within the elastic limits. These analyses clearly indicated that the LTB solutions in the AISC 360-16 and AS4100:2020 codes overestimate the buckling loads of cellular beams within elastic limits, particularly at shorter span lengths. The LDB solutions in the literature and the Eurocode 3 LTB solution, on the other hand, provided conservative buckling moment estimates along the entire range of elastic buckling.
