The investigation on the behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel non-slender circular hollow section columns is presented in this paper. The normal strength austenitic stainless steel type 304 and the high strength duplex materials (austenitic-ferritic approximately equivalent to EN 1.4462 and UNS S31803) were considered in this study. The finite element method has been used to carry out the investigation. The columns were compressed between fixed ends at different column lengths. The geometric and material nonlinearities have been included in the finite element analysis. The column strengths and failure modes were predicted. An extensive parametric study was carried out to study the effects of normal and high strength materials on cold-formed stainless steel non-slender circular hollow section columns. The column strengths predicted from the finite element analysis were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American Specification, Australian/New Zealand Standard and European Code for cold-formed stainless steel structures. The numerical results showed that the design rules specified in the American, Australian/New Zealand and European specifications are generally unconservative for the cold-formed stainless steel non-slender circular hollow section columns of normal and high strength materials, except for the short columns and some of the high strength stainless steel columns. Therefore, different values of the imperfection factor and limiting slenderness in the European Code design rules were proposed for cold-formed stainless steel non-slender circular hollow section columns.

This paper describes the design and behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel slender circular hollow section columns. The columns were compressed between fixed ends at different column lengths. The investigation focused on large diameter-to-plate thickness (D/t) ratio ranged from 100 to 200. An accurate finite element model has been developed. The initial local and overall geometric imperfections have been included in the finite element model. The material nonlinearity of the cold-formed stainless steel sections was incorporated in the model. The column strengths, load-shortening curves as well as failure modes were predicted using the finite element model. The nonlinear finite element model was verified against test results. An extensive parametric study was carried out to study the effects of cross-section geometries on the strength and behaviour of stainless steel slender circular hollow section columns with large D/t ratio. The column strengths predicted from the parametric study were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American Specification, Australian/New Zealand Standard and European Code for cold-formed stainless steel structures. It is shown that the design strengths obtained using the Australian/New Zealand and European specifications are generally unconservative for the cold-formed stainless steel slender circular hollow section columns, while the American Specification is generally quite conservative. Therefore, design equation was proposed in this study.

본 논문은 스테인리스 각형강관 및 원형강관에 대한 좌굴내력에 관한 연구로서 건축구조용 강재로서의 적용성 검토를 위해, 세장비를 주요 변수로 한 소재의 인장강도실험과 stub-column의 압축강도실험, 기둥의 중심압축실험을 실시하여 강재의 기계적 성질과 기둥의 강도 및 거동을 파악한다. 또한 이론해석과 각국 기준식(AIK-LSD, AISC-LRFD, AIJ-LSD, SIJ-ASD) 및 복수강도곡선의 적용을 통한 이론값과 실험값을 비교함으로서 건축구조용 강재로서 적용성 검토와 구조설계기준 확립을 위한 기초 자료를 구하는데 목적이 있다.

본 연구에서는 스테인리스 강관의 구조재로서 적용성 검토를 위해 편심 축하중을 받는 스테인리스 원형강관 보-기둥에 대한 좌굴강 도와 거동을 파악하고자 한다. 주요변수는 축력과 양단 비대칭 모멘트를 받는 이중곡률 보-기둥에 세장비(細長比)와 편심비(e/k)로 한 스테인리 스 원형강관의 최대내력 및 변형능력 등의 역학적 특성을 규명하며, 이론해석을 통한 실험값과 비교함으로서 스테인리스 강관 구조설계을 위한 기초 자료를 구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실험결과를 해석결과와 비교해본 결과, 세장비 70의 편심비가 0인 시험체만이 낮고, 그 외 모든 시험체는 해석을 통한 M-P 상관곡선을 상회하는 결과를 보이나, 편심비가 작을수록 해석값에 근접하고 있어, 이론해석에서 적용한 세장비를 고려한 좌굴계수나 강도저감계수가 스테인리스 원형강관에 대해서는 별도의 값이 적용될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 더 많은 실험에 의해 확증되어야 할 것이다.
