Slender thin‐walled box columns subjected to compression and bending

This paper deals with tests on slender thin‐walled box columns, susceptible to instability of both types: to global Euler buckling as well as to local buckling of steel plates. Eight full‐scale tests were carried out with different global slenderness of welded and cold‐formed columns subjected to ce...

Description
Summary:This paper deals with tests on slender thin‐walled box columns, susceptible to instability of both types: to global Euler buckling as well as to local buckling of steel plates. Eight full‐scale tests were carried out with different global slenderness of welded and cold‐formed columns subjected to centric and eccentric compression. For the purpose of profound numerical simulations of tests, material properties were also tested, and the initial column geometry and residual stresses were carefully measured. The results of FEA simulations show good agreement with the test results. On verified numerical model the influence of different initial imperfections was studied. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinejami liaunuju dežinio skerspjūvio kolonu, jautriu abieju tipu nepastovumui ‐ bendrajam klupumui pa‐gal Euleri ir plieniniu plokšteliu vietiniam klupumui, eksperimentai. Buvo atlikti aštuoni centriškai ir ekscentriškai gniuždomu virintinio ir šaltai lankstyto skerspjūvio ivairaus liaunio kolonu natūriniai bandymai. Siekiant nuodugniai atlikti skaitini bandymu modeliavima, taip pat bandymu nustatytos mechanines plieno savybes ir kruopščiai išmatuoti visi pradiniai geometriniai nuokrypiai ir liekamieji itempiai. Skaitinio modeliavimo baigtiniu elementu metodu ir natūriniu bandymu rezultatai nedaug skiriasi. Tikrinamuoju skaitiniu modeliu buvo nagrinetas ivairiu pradiniu geometriniu netikslumu poveikis.
