The effects of accidental eccentricity on the seismic response of four-storey steel buildings laterally stabilized by buckling restrained braced frames are studied. The structures have a square, symmetrical footprint, without inherent eccentricity between the center of lateral resistance (CR) and the center of mass (CM). The position of the bracing bents in the buildings was varied to obtain three different levels of torsional sensitivity: low, intermediate and high. The structures were designed in accordance with the seismic design provisions of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). Three different analysis methods were used to account for accidental eccentricity in design: (1) Equivalent Static Procedure with static in-plane torsional moments assuming a mass eccentricity of 10% of the building dimension (ESP); (2) Response Spectrum Analysis with static torsional moments based on 10% of the building dimension (RSA-10); and (3) Response Spectrum Analysis with the CM being displaced by 5% of the building dimension (RSA-5). Time history analyses were performed under a set of eleven two-component historical records. The analyses showed that the ESP and RSA-10 methods can give appropriate results for all three levels of torsional sensitivity. When using the RSA-5 method, adequate performance was also achieved for the low and intermediate torsional sensitivity cases, but the method led to excessive displacements (5-10% storey drifts), near collapse state, for the highly torsionally sensitive structures. These results support the current provisions of NBCC 2010.

This paper presents an investigation of the effect of inclined stiffeners on the load-carrying capacity of simply-supported hot-rolled steel I-beams under various load conditions. The study is carried out using finite element analysis. A series of beams modeled using 3-D solid finite elements with consideration of initial geometric imperfections, residual stresses, and material nonlinearity are analyzed with and without inclined stiffeners to show how the application of inclined stiffeners can offer a noticeable increase in their lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) capacity. The analysis results have shown that the amount of increase in LTB capacity is primarily dependent on the location of the inclined stiffeners and the lateral unsupported length of the beam. The width, thickness and inclination angle of the stiffeners do not have as much an effect on the beam's lateral-torsional buckling capacity when compared to the stiffeners' location and beam length. Once the optimal location for the stiffeners is determined, parametric studies are performed for different beam lengths and load cases and a design equation is developed for the design of such stiffeners. A design example is given to demonstrate how the proposed equation can be used for the design of inclined stiffeners not only to enhance the beam's bearing capacity but its lateral-torsional buckling strength.

Pultruded cross-sections are always thin-walled due to constraints in the manufacturing process. Thus, the buckling strength determines the overall strength of the member. The elastic buckling of pultruded angle sections subjected to direct compression is studied. The lateral-torsional buckling, very likely to appear in thin-walled cross-sections, is investigated. Plate theory is used to allow for cross-sectional distortion. Shear effects and bending-twisting coupling are accounted for in the analysis because of their significant role. A simplified approach for determining the maximum load of equal leg angle sections under compression is presented. The analytical results obtained in this study are compared to the manufacturer's design guidelines for compression members as well as with the design specifications for steel structural members. Experimental results are obtained for various length specimens of pultruded angle sections. The results presented in this paper correspond to actual pultruded equal leg angle sections being used in civil engineering structures.

In current specification, modification factor(B) for web-tapered beam is used to account for the stress gradient and the restraining effect for adjacent spans. However, because these effects are considered together in modification factor, this paper revaluate the accuracy of the modification factor used in current specification. Also this paper investigate the flexural torsional buckling strength of laterally fixed thin-walled arch with doubly symmetric section using the analytical and numerical method. From this investigate the concept of effective length to consider the out-of-plane boundary condition for straight column or beam is not applicate for the flexural-torsional buckling of laterally fixed arches.

According to deformation features of pre-twisted bar, its elastic bending and torsion buckling equation is developed in the paper. The equation indicates that the bending buckling deformations in two main bending directions are coupled with each other, bending and twist buckling deformations are coupled with each other as well. However, for pre-twisted bar with dual-axis symmetry cross-section, bending buckling deformations are independent to the twist buckling deformation. The research indicates that the elastic torsion buckling load is not related to the pre-twisted angle, and equals to the torsion buckling load of the straight bar. Finite element analysis to pre-twisted bar with different pre-twisted angle is performed, the prediction shows that the assumption of a plane elastic bending buckling deformation curve proposed in previous literature (Shadnam and Abbasnia 2002) may not be accurate, and the curve deviates more from a plane with increasing of the pre-twisting angle. Finally, the parameters analysis is carried out to obtain the relationships between elastic bending buckling critical capacity, the effect of different pre-twisted angles and bending rigidity ratios are studied. The numerical results show that the existence of the pre-twisted angle leads to "resistance" effect of the stronger axis on buckling deformation, and enhances the elastic bending buckling critical capacity. It is noted that the "resistance" is getting stronger and the elastic buckling capacity is higher as the cross section bending rigidity ratio increases.

The Wagner coefficient is a key parameter used to describe the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) behaviour of the I-beam, since even for a doubly-symmetric I-section with residual stress, it becomes a monosymmetric I-section due to the characteristics of the non-symmetrical distribution of plastic regions. However, so far no theoretical derivation on the energy equation and Wagner's coefficient have been presented due to the limitation of Vlasov's buckling theory. In order to simplify the nonlinear analysis and calculation, this paper presents a simplified mechanical model and an analytical solution for doubly-symmetric I-beams under pure bending, in which residual stresses and yielding are taken into account. According to the plate-beam theory proposed by the lead author, the energy equation for the inelastic LTB of an I-beam is derived in detail, using only the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and the Kirchhoff-plate model. In this derivation, the concept of the instantaneous shear centre is used and its position can be determined naturally by the condition that the coefficient of the cross-term in the strain energy should be zero; formulae for both the critical moment and the corresponding critical beam length are proposed based upon the analytical buckling equation. An analytical formula of the Wagner coefficient is obtained and the validity of Wagner hypothesis is reconfirmed. Finally, the accuracy of the analytical solution is verified by a FEM solution based upon a bi-modulus model of I-beams. It is found that the critical moments given by the analytical solution almost is identical to those given by Trahair's formulae, and hence the analytical solution can be used as a benchmark to verify the results obtained by other numerical algorithms for inelastic LTB behaviour.

횡비틀림 좌굴은 가설 중 붕괴 사고 등의 안전사고를 유발할 수 있기 때문에 설계단계에서 좌굴에 대한 정확한 안전성 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 횡비틀림 좌굴을 방지하기 위한 방안으로 단부 보강을 통해 거더의 뒤틀림 강도 증가시키거나 크로스 프레임 설치를 통해 비지지길이를 감소하는 방법 등이 있다. 크로스 프레임은 바닥판 합성 이후 구조적 역할이 적은 반면 재료비와 설치비에 따른 인건비 비중이 매우 크며, 용접부의 피로 균열로 인해 유지관리 성능을 감소시키는 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 콘크리트 충전 반원기둥보강재를 통한 단부 보강 공법은 반원기둥 형태의 보강재를 통해 플레이트 거더의 단부를 보강하는 공법으로 거더 자체의 뒤틀림 강성을 증가시켜 횡비틀림 좌굴 강도를 증가시킨다. 이 연구에서는 콘크리트 충전 반원기둥보강재가 적용된 플레이트 거더의 뒤틀림 강도 증가로 인한 횡비틀림 좌굴 강도의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 설계식에 의한 결과와 유한요소해석의 결과를 비교하였고 실물재하실험을 통해 검증하였다. 설계식은 경계조건의 구속과 관련된 유효길이계수를 적용하고 있는 Eurocode의 설계식을 사용하였으며 결과를 검증하기 위하여다양한 단면의 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이후 횡방향 하중을 통해 뒤틀림을 받는 거더의 실물재하실험을 수행하여 콘크리트 충전 반원기둥보강재의 성능을 확인하였다. 그 결과 CFHPS가 적용된 플레이트 거더는 기존 판형 보강재가 적용된 플레이트 거더와 비교하여 뒤틀림 강도가 증가하였으며 그로 인해 횡비틀림 좌굴 강도가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 순수 휨이 작용하는 T형 단면보의 탄성 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도에 대해 기술하고 있다. 유한요소해석을 통해 얻어진 결과는 AISC-LRFD(2007)설계기준과 비교되었으며, 검토결과 AISC-LRFD 제안식을 이용하여 얻어지는 값들이 유한요소해석 결과보다 큰 값을 나타내고 있어 안전측 설계를 유도하고 있지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수정된 설계 계산식을 제안하고 예제를 통해 활용성을 검토하였다. 새로운 설계 계산식은 T형보의 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도 산정에 쉽게 적용될 수 있으며, 다양한 하중이 작용하는 경우 T형보의 연구에 적극 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.
