摘要
通过在弦部填充混凝土可以降低焊接管状接头的应力集中系数(SCF),从而延长疲劳寿命。然而,目前还没有任何设计公式可用于预测混凝土填充圆形空心截面(CFCHS)K 型接头的应力集中系数,因此限制了其在桥梁设计中的应用。为了填补这一空白,我们开发了 CFCHS K 型连接件的有限元模型,并将其与测试结果进行比较,以确保其准确性。然后,进行了全面的参数研究,以确定最大 SCF 与四个变量之间的关系:支撑与弦直径比 (β)、弦直径与厚度比 (2γ)、支撑与弦厚度比 (τ),以及支撑与弦之间的角度 (θ)。共有 480 个有限元模型在三种加载条件下进行了检验,包括支架和弦杆加载:平衡轴向力、弦杆轴向力和弦杆弯曲。通过对数值结果进行多元回归分析,建立了预测 CFCHS K 型关节最大 SCF 的设计方程。对圆形空心截面(CHS)和 CFCHS K 型接头的最大 SCF 进行了比较,得出的结论是,与 CHS 接头相比,CFCHS K 型接头在平衡轴向力下,弦杆和支撑位置的最大 SCF 平均分别降低了 42% 和 33%。最后,介绍了一个案例研究,说明如何使用所提出的公式进行疲劳安全验证。
Design equations for maximum stress concentration factors for concrete-filled steel tubular K-joints
Stress concentration factors (SCFs) for welded tubular joints can be decreased by filling the chord with concrete leading to a longer fatigue life. However, there are currently no design formula available in guidelines to predict the SCF of concrete-filled circular hollow section (CFCHS) K-joints, thus limiting their applicability in bridge design. To address this gap, finite element models for CFCHS K-joints were developed and compared against test results to ensure their accuracy. Then, a comprehensive parametric study was conducted to establish relationships between maximum SCFs and four variables: brace-to-chord diameter ratio (β), chord diameter-to-thickness ratio (2γ), brace-to-chord thickness ratio (τ), and the angle between braces and chord (θ). A total of 480 FE models were examined under three loading conditions including brace and chord loading: balanced axial force, chord axial force, and chord bending. Design equations to predict the maximum SCF for CFCHS K-joints were established by multiple regression analyses of the numerical results. A comparison of maximum SCFs between circular hollow section (CHS) and CFCHS K-joints was made, and it was concluded that average reductions of 42% and 33% in maximum SCFs in CFCHS K-joints at the locations of the chord and brace were found compared to CHS joints for balanced axial force, respectively. Finally, a case study illustrating how to use the proposed equations for fatigue safety verification was presented.
