Elghazouli, Ahmed Y.; Packer, Jeffrey A. | Seismic design solutions for connections to tubular members | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 73-83 | Articles |
KurzfassungA review of seismic design solutions for connections is presented in this paper, with particular focus on methods that are already “pre-approved” or “acceptable to code” for use by engineers in steel-framed structures using hollow sections. This review is intended to illustrate the limited options currently available to structural engineers. The survey mainly covers European and North American design solutions, but the latter are also heavily influenced by Japanese practice. The scope includes both braced frame connections (utilizing hollow sections for the bracing members at least) and unbraced frame connections (utilizing hollow section columns), the latter including both rigid and semi-rigid beam-to-hollow section column connections. Dissipative and non-dissipative connection types are considered where appropriate. Emphasis is placed on connection configurations and concepts rather than detailed design information, but references to other sources are given for further details. Areas in which there is a paucity of established design guidance are noted, and the review concludes with recommendations for further research and development regarding specific types of connections to hollow sections subjected to seismic loading. x | |||||

J. van der Vegte, Gerhardus; Wardenier, Jaap | Evaluation of the recent IIW (2012) and ISO (2013) strength equations for axially loaded CHS K gap joints | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 97-106 | Articles |
KurzfassungOver the last decade, extensive numerical analyses have been conducted on axially loaded uniplanar K gap, T and X joints made of circular hollow sections (CHS), considering a wide range of geometrical parameters and different types of chord load. Based on the large amount of numerical data, in 2007, new joint capacity and chord stress equations were derived for CHS joints. This article presents detailed comparisons made between the (mean) strength equations for K gap joints and the experimental data available. These design equations were first discussed and approved by Sub-commission XV-E of the International Institute of Welding (IIW), subsequently published in the CIDECT Design Guide for CHS joints [1] and adopted in the 3rd edition of the IIW Static Design Procedure for Welded Hollow Section Joints [2], which formed the basis for the ISO 14346 recommendations [3] published recently. x | |||||

Ritakallio, Pekka; Björk, Timo | Low-temperature ductility and structural behaviour of cold-formed hollow section structures - progress during the past two decades | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 107-115 | Articles |
KurzfassungCold-formed hollow sections are a widely used tubular construction material. The applicability, weldability and reliability of cold-formed rectangular hollow sections are sometimes questioned because of the consequences of cold forming and inhomogeneous cross-sections. One of the main concerns is related to the cold-formed corner areas and possible loss of toughness due to strain ageing in the vicinity of the welds. Conventional hot-rolled C-Mn steels are susceptible to strain ageing, and Eurocode 3 includes restrictions on welding in the cold-formed corner area. Both steelmaking and hot rolling have undergone crucial developments and this has had an impact on cold-formed hollow sections. Thermomechanically rolled fine-grain steels became state of the art at the end of the 1990s. This study confirms that cold-formed EN 10219 hollow sections made of suitable fine-grain steels have a similar Charpy-V toughness on the flat face and in the corner, and that even after ageing the transition temperature T40J in the corner area is at a very low level, typically below -50 °C. The load and deformation capacities of X- and K-joints fulfil the requirements without any noticeable ageing effects. The advances in steelmaking and hot rolling enable the manufacturing of reliable and versatile cold-formed EN 10219 hollow sections for welded structures with good low-temperature ductility even in the cold-formed corner area. x | |||||
Abspoel , Roland; Bijlaard, Frans | Optimization of plate girders | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 116-125 | Articles |
KurzfassungThe costs of the self-weight of a structure have never been a real issue in the design of steel girders, since the material costs of a structural element are mainly determined by labour costs. The booming economies of China and India cause a continuously increasing demand for steel. This and the now stringent regulations regarding sustainability make material economy in design much more interesting. x | |||||

Lipp , Andreas; Ummenhofer, Thomas | Influence of tensile chord stresses on the strength of circular hollow section joints | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 126-132 | Article |
KurzfassungThe current version of the Eurocode for the design of joints does not include any brace load capacity reduction for welded hollow section joints with tensile chord preloading as opposed to those without. However, the more recent 2nd edition of the CIDECT design guides or the ISO standard for welded hollow section joints includes a strength reduction due to tensile chord stresses. This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical investigations into how tensile chord stresses influence the capacity of circular hollow section X-joints. The conclusion of this study is a new chord load function proposal for circular hollow section joints subjected to tensile chord stresses. x | |||||

Gresnigt, A. M. (Nol); Karamanos, Spyros A. | Response of steel tubes under concentrated lateral loads | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 133-140 | Article |
KurzfassungSteel tubes may be loaded by concentrated lateral loads such as support or impact loads. Impact loading, for example, is an important load case for buried pipelines that are struck during excavation activities, or large-diameter tubes during transportation (handling accidents). This paper presents an analytical model based on shell theory to determine the elastic-plastic load deformation behaviour. Test results are given as well as the results of finite element calculations. The finite element results and the model equations are in good agreement with the experimental results and illustrate the tube denting response. x | |||||

Pfeiffer, Esther; Kern, Andreas | Modern production of heavy plates for construction applications - controlling production processes and quality | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 147-153 | Reports |
KurzfassungModern steel and pressure vessel construction requires heavy plates with tailored properties. In addition to satisfying quality standards, delivery on schedule is an important requirement for building projects. To show how these demands on actual deployment of plates are realized, this paper discusses methods for optimum production planning and production control where the focus is upon improving the flow of work, thus gradually eliminating unevenness across the system to realize the demands. Owing to the complexity of the heavy plate production process, computer-based modelling of material flow processes is presented as a suitable tool. In addition, important aspects of quality assurance and quality control during the production of high-performance plates are summarized. The quality characteristics of the plates are suitable surface quality, flatness, dimensional accuracy und mechanical and technological properties. How these features are controlled during the production of heavy plates is presented systematically. x | |||||
Göppert, Knut; Haspel, Lorenz; Waldner, Dany | Mobile pavilions for the fairground of the BASELWORLD - The world's leading watch and jewellery show BASELWORLD has been given a new look | Steel Construction | 2/2014 | 154-157 | Reports |
KurzfassungMost stands at last year’s BASELWORLD as well as the fairground have been fundamentally redesigned: Six crystalline pavilions that house food service, media relations and ticket office string through a mosaic of blooming flower beds. Together with the architectural practice dany waldner AG, schlaich bergermann und partner developed a modular system for mobile buildings that feature a quick and easy installation for versatile use while meeting high design requirements. Functional but elegant detailing was required starting with wide span customized multi-functional aluminium girders carrying the roof membranes, incorporating invisible stressing devices for the membrane, attachments of secondary girders, facade columns and facade panels as well as electrical power supply for the integrated illumination. Laminates of glass panes and varying metallised textiles were used to clad the facade panels made of light weight aluminium frames and connected with integrated connection devices. The structure is resting on legs adjustable in height and adaptable to varying inclination of the ground, requiring a series of movable parts to be designed for multi use, long term performance and corrosion resistance free of lubrication. Combining the advantages of stainless steel, bronze, aluminium and black steel in the strict content of requirements made the project a challenge somewhere between civil and mechanical engineering. x | |||||
