Abstract:
As protective design engineering becomes more prevalent, cold-formed steel hollow structural sections are often desired design components. As such, it is necessary to understand the behavior of hollow structural sections subject to air-blast loading, including the material response under elevated strain rates. Dynamic tensile tests have hence been performed on subsize tensile coupons taken from the flats and corners of cold-formed rectangular hollow section members. Dynamic yield stresses were obtained at strain rates from 0.1 to 18 s−1, which encompasses and exceeds the range recorded during far-field blast arena testing. The dynamic increase factor was calculated for each data point and synthesized with previous cold-formed rectangular hollow section tests at even higher strain rates (100–1000 s−1). The data set was used to determine Cowper–Symonds and Johnson–Cook parameters. The resulting material models can now be used to determine the strength increase of cold-formed rectangular hollow sections subject to a wide range of impulsive, elevated strain rate loads.

Abstract:
Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) because of their high resistance to tension, as well as compression, are commonly used as a bracing member with slotted gusset plate connections in steel structures. Since in this type of connection only part of the section contributes in transferring the tensile load to the gusset plate, shear lag failure may occur in the connection. The AISC specification decreases the effective section net area by a factor to consider the effect of shear lag for a limited connection configuration. This study investigates the effective parameters on the shear lag phenomenon for rectangular hollow section members connected at corners using a single concentric gusset plate. The results of the numerical analysis show that the connection length and connection eccentricity are the only effective parameters in the shear lag, and the effect of gusset plate thickness is negligible because of the symmetric connection. The ultimate tensile capacity of the suggested connection in this study were compared to the typical RHS connection presented in the AISC and the similar double angle sections connected at both legs. The comparison indicates that tensile performance of the suggested connection in this study because of its lower connection eccentricity is much higher than the typical slotted connection and double angle connections. Therefore, a new equation is suggested based on the finite element analyses to modify the AISC equation for these connections.

Abstract:
Thin-walled steel hollow flange channel beams are commonly used as joists and bearers in various flooring systems in buildings. A new rivet fastened rectangular hollow flange channel beam was proposed using an intermittently rivet fastening process as an alternative to welded beams. This flexible fastening process allows rectangular hollow flange channel beams to have greater section optimisation, by configuring web and flange widths and thicknesses. In the industrial applications of rectangular hollow flange channel beams as flooring, roofing or modular building systems, their flanges will be fastened to supports, which will provide increased capacities. However, no research has been conducted to investigate the web crippling capacities of rectangular hollow flange channel beams with flanges fastened to supports under two-flange load cases. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the web crippling behaviour and capacities of rectangular hollow flange channel beams based on the new American Iron and Steel Institute S909 standard test method. The web crippling capacities were compared with the predictions from the design equations in Australia/New Zealand Standard 4600 and American Iron and Steel Institute S100 to determine their accuracy in predicting the web crippling capacities of rectangular hollow flange channel beams. Test results showed that these design equations are considerably conservative for the end two-flange load case while being unconservative for the interior two-flange load case. New equations are proposed to determine the web crippling capacities of rectangular hollow flange channel beams with flanges fastened to supports. Test results showed that web crippling capacities increased by 78% and 65% on average for the end two-flange and interior two-flange load cases when flanges were fastened to supports. This article presents the details of this web crippling experimental study of rectangular hollow flange channel beam sections and the results.

Abstract:
The use of hollow section structures has received considerable attention in recent years. Since the first publication of CIDECT (International Committee for the Development and Study of Tubular Structures), additional research results became available, especially concerning the design of welds between members of trusses joints. To assess the capacity of welded joints of trusses between braces made of hollow sections and I-beam chords, the effective lengths of the welds should be estimated and their location around the braces and the forces acting on individual weld’s sections. The objective of this paper is to present the most up-to-date information to designers, teachers, and researchers according to the design of welds for certain K and N overlapped joints between rectangular hollow section (RHS) braces and I- or H-section chord.

Abstract:
This paper investigated the static behaviour of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) built-up hollow and concrete filled built-up beams tested under four-point bending with a span-to-depth ratio of 1.67, therefore focusing their shear performance. Two parameters considered for hollow sections were longitudinal web stiffener and strengthening at the web–flange junction. The experimental results indicated that the GFRP hollow beams failed by web crushing at supports; therefore, the longitudinal web stiffener has an insignificant effect on improving the maximum load. Strengthening web–flange junctions using rectangular hollow sections increased the maximum load by 47%. Concrete infill could effectively prevent the web crushing, and it demonstrated the highest load increment of 162%. The concrete filled GFRP composite beam failed by diagonal tension in the lightweight concrete core. The finite element models adopting Hashin damage criteria yielded are in good agreement with the experimental results in terms of maximum load and failure mode. Based on the numerical study, the longitudinal web stiffener could prevent the web buckling of the slender GFRP beam and improved the maximum load by 136%. The maximum load may be further improved by increasing the thickness of the GFRP section and the size of rectangular hollow sections used for strengthening. It was found that the bond–slip at the concrete–GFRP interface affected the shear resistance of concrete–GFRP composite beam.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The number of buildings higher than 30 floors has shown remarkable growth; many of them are supported on foundations of hollow circular piles. This increasing of height of constructions causes an increment of the shear stresses that are transmitted to their foundations, however these elements are more shear critical due to the hollow core. Most of the existing codes are based on shear models for rectangular sections, and guidelines for assessment of shear strength of members with hollow circular cross sections are practically non-existent. This study evaluates, on a comparative basis, the shear strength of elements with hollow circular cross sections, obtained from experimental tests, with values computed using the Canadian Code (CSA A23.3) and using a proposed simple procedure based on the Brazilian standard (NBR 6118).

Abstract:
Steel hollow sections used widely in many engineering applications as structural members. This paper aims to present a study about the flexural behavior of composite beams with steel tubes sections through a series of bending tests in order to study and examine the influence of using different shapes of steel tube section (square, rectangular and hexagonal) with the same shear connector type (headed stud or angle or perfobond) on the flexural behavior and the bending properties of these sections. As well as study the effect of using different shear connectors types (headed stud, angle and perfobond) in the same steel tube section (hexagonal or square or rectangular) on the flexural behavior of composite beams. The experimental program divided into two groups, the first consists of testing nine specimens which focusing on testing three types of steel section when using shear stud at first, angle at second, perfobond at third as shear connector type. Second group consists of testing nine specimens of composite beams too, this group focusing on testing every steel section (hexagonal or square or rectangular) alone when using three types of shear connectors with it. All specimens are with length, width and height equal to 2000, 400 and 130 mm respectively. The tested steel tubes have thickness of 2 mm, yield stress of 322 MPa and the ultimate strength of 390 MPa. The results showed that these shapes of hollow steel sections (hexagonal, square and rectangular) sustain the quality of services for the buildings, and these tested specimens are applicable by giving a distinctive strength and stiffness starting from 114 kN as ultimate load reaching to 170 kN. The experimental results proved that the perfobond and angle connector types are clearly effective shear connectors, shear connector of perfobond type increased the ultimate load of composite beams by (6.25-9.74) % compared with stud shear connector.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the behaviour and design of triangular trusses fabricated from Hollow Structural Sections (HSS), with two Warren-type web planes and a single tension chord. Experimental programs are described in which triangular truss segments and simplified joints were tested in order to investigate the behaviour of compression web members and tension-chord welded joints. The mechanics of joint deformations are analysed in relation to the yield line theory, and simple models are shown to give a good prediction of the joint stiffnesses and strengths. Complex yield line models are investigated, but are slightly or not superior to the simple models. Recommendations are established covering the design of tension and compression chord joints, as well as chord and web members. The design of a 22 m span triangular truss is outlined.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to assess the suitability of cold-formed rectangular hollow sections (RHS) for plastic design. The project involved an extensive range of tests on cold-formed Grade C350 and Grade C450 (DuraGal) RHS beams, joints and frames. A large number of finite element analyses was also carried out on models of RHS beams. The conclusion is that cold- formed RHS can be used in plastic design, but stricter element slenderness (b/t) limits and consideration of the connections, are required. Further research, particularly into the effect of axial compression on element slenderness limits, is required before changes to current design rules can be finalised. Bending tests were performed on cold-formed RHS to examine the web and flange slenderness required to maintain the plastic moment for a large enough rotation suitable for plastic design. The major conclusions of the beam tests were: (i) Some sections which are classified as Compact or Class 1 by current steel design specifications do not maintain plastic rotations considered sufficient for plastic design. (ii) The current design philosophy, in which flange and web slenderness limits are independent, is inappropriate. An interaction formula is required, and simple formulations are proposed for RHS. Connection tests were performed on various types of knee joints in RHS, suitable for the column - rafter connection in a portal frame. The connection types investigated were welded stiffened and unstiffened rigid knee connections, bolted plate knee joints, and welded and bolted internal sleeve knee joints, for use in RHS portal frames. The ability of the connections to act as plastic hinges in a portal frame was investigated. The most important finding of the joint tests was the unexpected fracture of the cold-formed welded connections under opening moment before significant plastic rotations occurred. The use of an internal sleeve moved the plastic hinge in the connection away from the connection centre- line thus eliminating the need for the weld between the RHS, or the RHS and the stiffening plate, to carry the majority of the load. The internal sleeve connections were capable of sustaining the plastic moment for large rotations considered suitable for plastic design. Tests on pinned-base portal frames were also performed. There were three separate tests, with two different ratios of vertical to horizontal point loads, simulating gravity and horizontal wind loads. Two grades of steel were used for comparison. The aims of the tests were to examine if a plastic collapse mechanism could form in a cold-formed RHS frame, and to investigate if plastic design was suitable for such frames. In each frame, two regions of highly concentrated curvature were observed before the onset of local buckling, which indicated the formation of plastic hinges and a plastic collapse mechanism. An advanced plastic zone structural analysis which accounted for second order effects, material non-linearity and member imperfections slightly overestimated the strength of the frames. The analysis slightly underestimated the deflections, and hence the magnitude of the second order effects. A second order plastic zone analysis, which did not account for the effects of structural imperfections, provided the best estimates of the strengths of the frames, but also underestimated the deflections. While cold-formed RHS did not satisfy the material ductility requirements specified for plastic design in some current steel design standards, plastic hinges and plastic collapse mechanisms formed. This suggests that the restriction on plastic design for cold-formed RHS based on insufficient material ductility is unnecessary, provided that the connections are suitable for plastic hinge formation, if required. A large number of finite element analyses were performed to simulate the bending tests summarised above, and to examine various parameters not studied in the experimental investigation. To simulate the experimental rotation capacity of the RHS beams, a sinusoidally varying longitudinal local imperfection was prescribed. The finite element analysis determined similar trends as observed experimentally, namely that the rotation capacity depended on both the web slenderness and flange slenderness, and that for a given section aspect ratio, the relationship between web slenderness and rotation capacity was non-linear. The main finding of the finite element study was that the size of the imperfections had an unexpectedly large influence on the rotation capacity. Larger imperfections were required in the more slender sections to simulate the experimental results. There should be further investigation into the effect of varying material properties on rotation capacity.

Abstract:
CIDECT guidelines for hollow steel joints were mainly based on research of ductile steel with yield strength up to 355 MPa. On higher strength, lower ductility steels (C450 and above) emerging, CIDECT in 2009, extended the design guidelines to C450 RHS connections also, with certain restrictions on material, geometry and class of RHS. An overall reduction factor of 0.9 in design strength and a cap on σy at 0.8 σu were also stipulated. Experimental studies were conducted at the University of Sydney to verify the need and justification for the CIDECT restrictions in C450 RHS connections. This thesis complements the experimental studies using numerical methods and some novel techniques including use of an adapted Lemaitre damage model to track fracture, tracking necking in coupon tests by using recorded engineering stress-strain data and filling in gaps in data by methods such as use of FEA and/or crosshead data, grouping variations in material test results suitably and adopting a weighted average method to depict true stress strain that would reflect plastic deformation and damage. The FE models with these features were initially benchmarked against coupon test results, then validated against RHS jointless tests and finally against 12 K gap joint tests. More than 80 parametric variations that might influence the strength and behaviour of these joints were analysed using FEA. The study led to proposals for modifications to chord plastification, punching shear, chord side wall design equations to better predict ultimate loads and fracture modes. Reduced ductility in the steel was dealt with through a modifier function that is not based on yield stress but instead recognises the reduced ultimate strains, damage parameter for fracture and the ultimate stress of the material. Another research achievement is the perfection of a methodology to numerically predict the fracture / failure behavior of RHS joints and to formulate or test, design criteria if required.

Abstract:
The application of high strength steels (HSS) in the construction industry can lead to more economic design and profound sustainability benefits. To facilitate their use in modern practice, most international structural design codes have included HSS within their contents. Due to limited test data at the time of publishing, HSS design provisions are largely based on those for mild steel, with some restrictions, due to HSS’s inferior ductility and strain-hardening characteristics. Hence, further investigation on the applicability of such design specifications to HSS is required. To this end, within the present research work the structural performance of high strength steel structures employing square and rectangular hot-finished hollow sections is rigorously investigated. Meticulously generated finite element models of individual structural components are validated against test data and subsequently used for the generation of additional structural performance data through the execution of parametric studies. Implementing the aforementioned methodology, focus is also placed upon the structural performance of HSS trusses, whilst the possibility of applying prestress to them to enhance their behaviour is examined. Based on the obtained results, the suitability of current codified design methods to HSS is assessed and appropriate design recommendations are made.

Abstract:
The primary aim of the project was to develop the basis for a set of rules to be used in the design of RHS slim floor edge beams with web openings. However, since the research is fundamental in nature, the findings are also applicable to other situations where it may be advantageous to cut holes in load bearing tubular members of rectangular cross-section. The study considered the influence of the number and size of holes upon resistance and stiffness in bending, shear, and torsion and combined analytical Finite Element modelling with large and small scale pseudo-static (short-time static loading) laboratory testing. In all but one category of tests (see below), good agreement was achieved between experimentally measured quantities (such as capacities, deflections and strains) and the corresponding Finite Element predictions, allowing parametric investigations to be conducted with calibrated analytical models. Preliminary design recommendations are presented based on the results of the parametric study and laboratory tests. The design advice was developed with regard to existing recommendations for the design of perforated I-beams, and was produced in a form that allows integration with modern limit state design codes. Aspects of behaviour requiring further investigation have been identified and categorised. Torsion tests on full scale RHS without web openings yielded some unexpected results. Elastic and plastic capacities measured in the laboratory were significantly lower (12–20%) than those predicted by the Finite Element models and the thick walled torsion theory used as the basis of the British and European design procedures. Attempts were made to determine the cause of this behaviour and a number of possibilities were eliminated. Although the anomalous results have not been fully explained, evidence of similar behaviour in previous full-scale testing was discovered.

Abstract:
The telescoping cantilever beam structure is applied in many different engineering sectors to achieve weight/space optimisation for structural integrity. There has been limited theory and analysis in the public domain of the stresses and deflections involved when applying a load to such a structure. This thesis proposes (a) The Tip Reaction Model, which adapts classical mechanics to predict deflection of a two and a three section steel telescoping cantilever beam; (b) An equation to determine the Critical buckling loads for a given configuration of the two section steel telescoping cantilever beam assembly derived from first principles, in particular the energy methods; and finally (c) the derivation of a design optimization methodology, to tackle localised buckling induced by shear, torsion and a combination of both, in the individual, constituent, hollow rectangular beam sections of the telescopic assembly. Bending stress and shear stress is numerically calculated for the same structure whilst subjected to inline and offset loading. An FEA model of the structure is solved to verify the previous deflection, stress and buckling predictions made numerically. Finally an experimental setup is conducted where deflections and stresses are measured whilst a two section assembly is subjected to various loading and boundary conditions. The results between the predicted theory, FEA and experimental setup are compared and discussed. The overall conclusion is that there is good correlation between the three sets of data.

Abstract:
Abstract Metamaterials have emerged as a group of promising materials with potential applications in a wide range of industries such as aerospace and automobile, owing to their unconventional properties. The state-of-the-art suggests that lattice metamaterials offer lightweight structures while ensuring good mechanical properties, and hollow lattices can be leveraged to achieve ultra-lightweight metamaterials to further broaden the application horizons. In this research, hollow cross-sections are designed for lattice-based metamaterials in order to achieve a high stiffness/strength-to-weight ratio. The Mechanics of Structure Genome method is adopted to perform the beam cross-section analysis, leading to three cross-sections studied including solid, elliptical, and rectangular cross-sections. The designed metamaterials with hollow cross-sections have complex structures and therefore they are fabricated using the Selective Laser Sintering process. The compressive tests suggest that metamaterials with hollow cross-sections have a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio of 25% to 30% in comparison with solid cross-sections. In addition, hollow lattice metamaterials demonstrate better energy absorption capability compared to solid lattices of the same density, which is a critical characteristic to avoid catastrophic mechanical failure. It is observed from the compressive tests that the nodes in the unit cells tend to break first, indicating possible future research to further enhance the strength of hollow lattice metamaterials.

Abstract:
<p>Steel arches are mostly built as rectangular hollow box sections. Most types of connection of hangers to steel tied arch bridges require the introduction of stiffeners, enabling to transfer the hanger force to the hollow box arch section’s webs. However, the hanger force coincides with the arch axis plane, whereas the webs are located in 2 vertical planes at a distance of half of the arch width from the axis. In a particular case the plates, connecting the hangers to the arch lower flange were also welded to the arch box section’s lower flange. This introduces unwanted transverse bending of this flange. The research aims at assessing the fatigue resistance for this multiaxial stress condition, first by applying nominal stress evaluation and subsequently by determining the hot spot stress situation. To overcome the fact that these methods apply to unidirectional stress, the critical plane method was used as it renders the most reliable result and demonstrates the insufficient fatigue resistance for a particular case. Subsequently, the results have been generalized in a single diagram in which the horizontal axis displays the stress variation parallel to the arch axis, due to compression and bending, versus the normal stress perpendicular to the former and due to the hanger force being introduced.</p>

Abstract:
The application of aluminium alloys in construction sector is increasing owing to their excellent corrosion resistance, light weight and attractive appearance. However, one of the main disadvantages of aluminium alloys is the low elastic modulus, which may cause a stability issue in aluminium structural members. The performance of aluminium tubes can be improved by filling concrete within them. Research on the flexural behaviour of concrete-filled aluminium alloy tubes is limited. This paper presents an experimental study on the behaviour of square and rectangular concrete-filled and bare aluminium tubular sections subjected to in-plane bending. Total 20 beams were tested, including 10 concrete-filled aluminium tubes (CFAT) and 10 bare aluminium tubes (BAT). The hollow aluminium tubes were fabricated using 6082-T6 alloy and filled with 25 MPa cylinder compressive strength concrete. The material properties of aluminium were measured by tensile test of coupons. It is shown that the flexural strength, stiffness and ductility of square and rectangular BAT flexural members was remarkably improved by the infilled concrete and the improvement is more pronounced for the thinner aluminium sections. Due to absence of design standards for CFAT beams, in this study the design rules available for concrete-filled steel tubular flexural members in the Eurocode 4 are considered by substituting the mechanical properties of steel with those of aluminium alloy. It is demonstrated that the proposed design rules provide good predictions of the flexural capacity of CFAT.

"Behavior of innovative T-shaped multi-partition steel-concrete composite columns under concentric and eccentric compressive loadings."

Abstract:
T-shaped multi-partition steel-concrete composite column, composed of several concrete-filled rectangular steel hollow sections, is considered as an innovative composite member with the ability to accommodate neighboring wall thickness with great easiness. This paper intends to study the behavior of this innovative composite member under concentric and eccentric compressive loadings. A finite element (FE) analysis model accounting for the influences of confinement effects, geometric and material nonlinearities is developed using the program ABAQUS. The ultimate strength and load-strain responses predicted from the analysis are validated against the test results in the experiments conducted by the authors. The comparisons indicate that the FE model reasonably estimates the responses of the concentrically and eccentrically loaded T-shaped multi-partition steel-concrete composite columns. The verified model is then utilized to numerically investigate the working mechanism of the columns. The load distribution between the infilled concrete and the steel tubes and the stress distribution of the concrete during the loading process are analyzed. Moreover, parametric studies are performed to investigate the behavior of T-shaped multi-partition steel-concrete composite columns under different loadings. The studied parameters include steel to concrete area ratio, concrete compressive strength, steel yield strength and load eccentricity. Combined with the experimental results, FE analysis and parametric studies, the design recommendations for T-shaped multi-partition steel-concrete composite columns under different loadings are proposed.
