Experimental study of the structural behavior of cold-formed S30408 stainless steel square hollow section braces under various cyclic axial loading protocols
This study investigates the structural performance of cold-formed S30408 stainless steel square hollow section (SHS) braces subjected to different cyclic axial loading histories. A total of thirteen SHS braces were tested under cyclic loading, with key parameters including plate width-to-thickness ratio, member slenderness ratio, and loading history. Except for the 60 × 60 × 3 × 1200-DA1 specimen, all width-to-thickness ratios satisfied the Class 1 section requirements specified in Eurocode 3 (EC3), thereby ensuring the full development of plastic deformation. The results demonstrated that these parameters had a significant influence on the structural performance of the specimens, particularly in terms of maximum compressive load capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, and both local and global buckling behaviors. In particular, the loading protocol exhibited a pronounced effect on ductility coefficients, fracture life, energy dissipation, and ultimate compressive strength. Several existing design approaches for predicting buckling resistance, including the provisions of Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-4:2016), the ASCE 8-22 guidelines for cold-formed stainless steel members, the Chinese standard for stainless steel structures (CECS 410-2015), and the Continuous Strength Method (CSM), were critically evaluated against the experimental results. The result revealed that current design methods tend to provide conservative estimates of compressive buckling resistance for short bracing members, as compared with slender braces, primarily due to the omission of cyclic hardening effects of stainless steel.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
