This book was released on 2016 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the cross-section and member behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel RHS and SHS elements and proposes an alternative and more efficient design approach. Combined with aesthetic appeal, exceptional mechanical properties and excellent corrosion and fire resistances, efficient design methods present stainless steel as an attractive alternative to the usual carbon steel for structural applications. Exhaustive studies of the nonlinear stress-strain behaviour and the analytical modelling of the response are presented for different stainless steel alloys. The study was based on 600 experimental stress-strain curves obtained from the literature and complemented with 42 tensile coupon tests. Although the material model currently included in Annex C of EN1993-1-4 (2006) was found to accurately represent the measured stress-strain curves for the different stainless steel grades and material types, revised equations were proposed for the strain hardening parameters n and m and for the ultimate tensile stress and strain for ferritics. A comprehensive experimental programme on five cross-sections of ferritic stainless steel grade 1.4003 tubular elements is also described. The actual geometry and initial geometric imperfections were carefully measured and the material response of flat and corner regions of each section were characterized by conducting 20 tensile tests on coupons extracted from the cross-sections. The cross-sectional behaviour was investigated through 10 stub column tests under pure compression and 16 subjected to combined loading conditions, while 8 beams were tested under four-point bending configuration and 4 subjected to three-point bending loading conditions. At member level, the bending moment redistribution capacity of ferritic continuous beams was investigated by conducting 9 five-point bending tests. Finally, 12 tests were conducted on ferritic stainless steel columns to determine the behaviour of members subjected to concentric and eccentric compression loads. Additional data on austenitic, ferritic and duplex stainless steel elements was generated from parametric studies based on finite element models validated from the conducted experiments. The assessment of the codified design expressions was derived by comparing experimental and numerical strengths with the calculated resistance predictions for stainless steel cross-sections and members subjected to different loading conditions. Results demonstrated that predictions are noticeably conservative for stocky and slender cross-sections since enhanced material properties are not considered and the susceptibility of cross-sections to local buckling is underestimated. Thus, a full slenderness range Direct Strength Method (DSM) approach was proposed for stainless steel RHS and SHS cross-sections and members based on the same strength curve for all loading conditions. The proposed approach was found to be more accurate for cross-sections, columns and beam-columns since strain hardening effects are incorporated and due to the fact that the actual stress distribution of the cross-section is considered when determining the slenderness. The reliability of the approach was demonstrated by statistical analyses, enabling its use in structural design standards. Finally, the applicability of design approaches based on plastic analysis to stainless steel continuous beams was assessed. The analysis of continuous beam strengths demonstrated that capacity predictions based on the first hinge formation result in a considerable overconservatism and that traditional plastic design can be safely applied with the Class 1 cross-section limit provided in EN1993-1-4 (2006). However, it was also statistically demonstrated that the best capacity predictions are obtained for design methods including both bending moment redistribution and strain hardening effects, such as the Continuous Strength Method for indeterminate structures or the proposed DSM-based approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of new, composite materials and high-strength concrete, and with an increasing demand for sustainable building technologies, the importance of the role of steel in construction is being challenged.. Nonetheless, steel can successfully be used to refurbish and retrofit historical buildings, as well as being a material of choice for new building structures. Steel can effectively be combined with a variety of other materials to obtain structures which are characterized by a high-performance response under different types of static and dynamic activity. The proceedings contains nine keynote lectures from international experts, and is further divided into five sections: calculation models and methods; studies and advances in design codes; steel and mixed building technology; steel under exceptional actions; and steel in remarkable constructions and refurbishment.
Download or read book Geometrically Non linear Analysis with Stiffness Reduction for the In plane Stability Design of Stainless Steel Frames written by Yanfei Shen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In AISC 360-16, the Direct Analysis Method (DM) has been set as the primary method for the stability design of frames. DM, considering initial global sway imperfection, is essentially Geometrically Non-linear Analysis (GNA) in which tangent modulus is used. The aim of this thesis is to provide stiffness reduction factor formulations for using GNA coupled with tangent modulus approach for the stability design of stainless steel frames. GNA with the proposed stiffness reduction factor is aligned to AISC 360-16 and it is aimed at facilitating greater and more efficient use of stainless steel. In accordance with current design standards, the ultimate limit state for this method is the formation of first plastic hinge, and the adequacy of the method is confirmed through member-based resistance checks.The focus of the thesis is the development of flexural stiffness reduction factor formulation for the in-plane stability design of stainless steel elements and frames with cold-formed square hollow section (SHS) and rectangular hollow section (RHS). The proposed beam-column stiffness reduction factor (tMN) accounts for the deleterious influence of material non-linearity, residual stresses and member out-of-straightness. The use of a GNA coupled with the proposed tMN eliminates the need for member buckling strength checks and thus, only cross-sectional strength checks are required.

Download or read book Architecture in Detail written by Graham Bizley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of detailed studies of recent construction projects that will help all architects learn and expand the possibilities of their own work. Projects have been selected for their use of innovative techniques, and these insights could help overcome problems, reduce a project's cost, speed up work on site or help with an idea that is hard to achieve. Each project within the book consists of striking detailed drawings, supplemented by color photographs and explanatory text. These details are an excellent way to see how others are using new materials and techniques that may be relevant to an architect's own work. It can seem daunting for a student, or even a qualified architect, to see high-quality, interesting buildings when the project or daily workload is a lot more humdrum. This book demystifies construction and spreads knowledge of good practice. The author is well known as he has a biweekly feature in Building Design, the UK's most read magazine by architects. The projects have been carefully selected from those published and have been adapted and expanded to create a really useful reference.

Download or read book Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures Third Edition written by John A. Purkiss and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures provides practising fire safety engineers with the tools to design structures to withstand fires. This text details standard industry design decisions, and offers expert design advice, with relevant historical data. It includes extensive data on materials’ behaviour and modeling -- concrete, steel, composite steel-concrete, timber, masonry, and aluminium. While weighted to the fire sections of the Eurocodes, this book also includes historical data to allow older structures to be assessed. It extensively covers fire damage investigation, and includes as far back as possible, the background to code methods to enable the engineer to better understand why certain procedures are adopted. What’s new in the Third Edition? An overview in the first chapter explains the types of design decisions required for optimum fire performance of a structure, and demonstrates the effect of temperature rise on structural performance of structural elements. It extends the sections on less common engineering materials. The section on computer modelling now includes material on coupled heat and mass transfer, enabling a better understanding of the phenomenon of spalling in concrete. It includes a series of worked examples, and provides an extensive reference section. Readers require a working knowledge of structural mechanics and methods of structural design at ambient conditions, and are helped by some understanding of thermodynamics of heat transfer. This book serves as a resource for engineers working in the field of fire safety, consultants who regularly carry out full fire safety design for structure, and researchers seeking background information. Dr John Purkiss is a chartered civil and structural engineer/consultant and former lecturer in structural engineering at Aston University, UK. Dr Long-Yuan Li is Professor of Structural Engineering at Plymouth University, UK, and a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers.
