In this study I-girders made of steels showing strengths of 355 MPa and 690 MPa were welded with varying heat input. Due to the dimension of the I-girders and the complex geometry the accessibility for residual stress measurement using X-ray diffraction was limited. Therefore, saw cutting accompanied by strain gauge measurement has been used to produce smaller sections appropriate to apply X-ray diffraction. The stress relaxation measured by strain gauges has been added to residual stresses determined by X-ray diffraction to obtain the original stress level and distribution before sectioning. The combination of both techniques can produce robust residual stress values. From practical point of view afford for strain gauge application can be limited to a number of measuring positions solely to record the global amount of stress relaxation.

In this, a geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis of the imperfect structure (GMNIA) provides the theoretically highest possible degree of realism. A correct implementation of "imperfections" is of critical importance in the practical application of this method. The current design rules are based on long term experience in terms of traditional ("old") welding procedures and regular ("low strength") steel grades. Thus, they provide very approximate (but safe) rules for these structures. With the introduction of modern shop welding operations and materials, many of these assumptions seem to be over-conservative. A revision of these rules is being processed in different national and international research projects. This particular study focusses on the weld residual stresses and their effects in conventional steel S355 and high strength steel S690. Metal active gas (MAG) welding under shop welding conditions was used. The measurement of weld residual stresses on component-like samples (carried out by the BAM Bundesanstalt f{\"u}r Materialforschung und -pr{\"u}fung in Berlin) has been widely published. The hereupon based (simplified) welding simulation as part of a subsequent structural analysis is shown here. A novel numerical approach how to directly incorporate the results into large structural components models is presented. The capacity analysis is performed on a simple example for weak-axis buckling. The results indicate significant improvements in the utilization of load-bearing capacity and underline the superior buckling assignment for the S690 compared to conventional S355.

For complex sections, as found in many of today's lightweight roof structures, these assumptions are conservative due to the sections typically unique shape, which leads to increased thicknesses or additional stiffening of the plates. This, on the other hand, can significantly affect fabrication costs. This paper aims to provide an overview on the possibilities in the numerical prediction of weld residual stresses and weld-induced deformations for these sections. The obtained values can be used in a subsequent numerical analysis to understand the structural behavior and optimize the design. A representative example on a section used in a steel compression ring is described and analyzed using the numerical welding simulation. A simplification of the originally transient weld procedure is used in order to reduce computation times to a practically reasonable level.

With the knowledge of the occurring loads, an economic structure can be found to optimize the edge structure. Frequently the form finding process will use the death loads as decisive action because for only one load case a moment free form can be determined. Other load cases will cause bending in the girder. The process also allows having only supports at the low points and a cantilever arises. These types of roofs will be compared with two exemplary canopies in Germany. The main focus will be on the assembly of the edge girder, which will evoke challenges for planning as well as the actual manufacturing process. The steel edge girder is double curved and has a spatially shape. The welded box exists of 4 to 5 curving plates that have thicknesses from 15mm to 55mm and will vary in their height. Due to welding residual stresses occur during the assembly in the factory as well as on the construction side. For the design of the girders, the residual stresses need to be determined. The identified results of the residual stresses will vary through the plate thickness and will differ for residual longitudinal and residual transverse stresses. The longitudinal residual stresses, as the relevant residual stresses for axial forces, will be farther scrutinized. Due to its complex geometry the challenges of the simulation will be presented for the manufacturing process and the construction site assembly. For the farther investigation the calculated stresses will be taken for a load capacity calculation of a section of the edge girder. Due to the forming geometry and the welding process, both effects need to be considered. This calculation will also show that the edge girder needs to be stiffened in the inside with bulkhead plate's und longitudinal stiffeners.

To fulfil a safe design, the assumptions mostly will be very conservative due to the lack of the assumed stress state. This will result directly to increased thicknesses or additional stiffening of the plates. Not only the material cost will rise, but also the fabrication costs like welding will be affected.

Eurocode nowadays provides rules for tanks up to r/t = 5000. However, since only few literature has become available in the past, dealing specifically with very thin walled shells in the range between r/t = 1500 and r/t = 10000, code provisions either are quite conservative or, in case of r/t > 5000, do barely exist. Employing modern construction methods, close-to perfect, very thin-walled shells can be built that are out of the scope of the design codes. Therefore, to achieve more economical designs and a better sustainability, sophisticated design tools have to be used. In this paper, modifications and extensions of the current design procedure are proposed to overcome current limitations and drawbacks. A review of experiments with a special focus on cylinders with high r/t-ratios was conducted and modified lower bound approximation curves for the knock-down factor α deduced. They were checked against representative experiments from literature. Test results recalculated using an axisymmetric imperfection to explore their equivalent imperfection depth, proved that even small imperfections drastically reduce the buckling strength. Using a parametric study, the result range of α was extended up to r/t = 10000. The design proposal could be approved and an equation for the determination of an equivalent imperfection depth that relates the dependence of α to the imperfection depth and the r/t-ratio is proposed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JaegerCanasPasternak, author = {J{\"a}ger-Ca{\~n}{\´a}s, Andreas and Pasternak, Hartmut}, title = {Influence of closely spaced ring-stiffeners on the axial buckling behavior of cylindrical shells}, series = {Ce/papers : the online collection for conference papers in civil engineering}, volume = {1}, booktitle = {Ce/papers : the online collection for conference papers in civil engineering}, number = {2-3}, issn = {2509-7075}, doi = {10.1002/cepa.133}, pages = {928 -- 937}, abstract = {Material efficiency in modern tank constructions often is achieved by combining thin plates with light and heavy ring stiffeners. While the plates are designed to resist hydrostatic pressure, the stiffeners are designed against wind and external pressure. Axial buckling may occur due to high roof loads and wind since very thin plates are prone to a loss of stability. Test results in the 60s and 70s revealed that closely spaced ring-stiffeners may greatly enhance the axial buckling behavior, allowing for knock-down factors greater unity. However, until today, no design procedure is available allowing for adopting the beneficial effect of ring stiffeners under axial compression into practical design. In this paper a design procedure is proposed that closes this gap in current design codes. One outcome of the conducted literature study revealed that test results of unstiffened shells may be more closely approximated and is shortly presented. The design procedure for ring-stiffened shells was then developed from lower bound curves deduced from categorized buckling tests. The results of a parametrical study, that was conducted over a wide range of r/t-values, is presented. Imperfection depths up to 10t were examined using a stiffener spacing of one buckling half-wave.

The test results show that the variations of the yield and tensile strength increase with the decreasing specimen volume. Besides, the structural component strength is not only related to the specimen volume, but also the stress distribution. It is found by studying the influence of statistical size effect on structural reliability that the strength, which is obtained by small specimens through statistical analysis in the laboratory, is no more accurately applicable to large construction.

Geometrical nonlinearities as well as the nonlinear material behavior are considered within the calculation. To simplify, both types of imperfections, geometrical and structural ones, are mostly combined in these strength calculations being considered as equivalent geometrical imperfections. Values for standard cases are included in EN 1993-1-5 in case of plated structures or 1-6 in case of shells. A second possibility is the separate definition of fabrication tolerances and residual stresses, as far as they are known. With increasing complexity of the structure, less information are however available on geometrical and particularly structural imperfections. Nevertheless, by means of a more realistic consideration of these values, the actual ultimate load can be determined significantly more exactly and the performance of high performance steel structures is increased. In the investigated cases, deformations and stresses arise mainly due to welding. Therefore, the topic of this article is the application of an analytical numerical hybrid model for predicting imperfections induced by welds. This is presented on an example of a stiffened steel structure and a subsequent ultimate load calculation. At the beginning the analytical model, its physical basis as well as the physical interrelationships are introduced and explained. This is followed by the explanation of the coupling procedure between the analytical model and the numerical calculation for the calculation of weld-induced deformations and residual stresses. The significance of the hybrid model is proven by means of a few sample applications. For a realistic determination of the weld imperfections in the investigated stiffened structure, the coupled hybrid model is used afterwards. An ultimate load analysis gives information about the load carrying behavior under axial loading.

Therefore, the effectiveness of adhesively bonded CFRP lamellas to enhance the remaining lifetime of fatigue damaged steel structures is examined in a German research project. Selected results are presented in this paper. To characterize the steel, CFRP and adhesive materials, different tests on small scale specimens are carried out. With the help of fatigue tests on CT-samples the remaining fatigue lifetimes of specimens strengthened with adhesively bonded CFRP lamellas is compared to the remaining lifetimes of specimens strengthened by established methods such as drilling the crack tip and repair welding. Based on the evaluation of the crack propagation after the rehabilitation measures, the great potential of adhesively bonded CFRP reinforcements can be deduced. By prestressing the lamellas, the remaining lifetime can generally be increased further.

In comparison with hot-rolled or welded I-beams with flat webs, corrugated web beams are connected with considerable material savings and fully automated production. Assuming the same load-bearing capacity, corrugated web beams are lighter than those with a flat web, since the corrugated web beams can often be loaded up to their plastic resistance without reinforcement of the web. The research on the load-bearing behavior of corrugated web beams without web openings is relatively mature. However, the resistance of corrugated web beams with reinforced web openings, as they are often used in buildings for installations, has not well experimentally been investigated, yet. This paper deals with the shear resistance of corrugated web beams with reinforced square web openings. Three specimens of different geometry with two square web openings were tested. The experiments are compared with a Finite Element Analysis by Abaqus® and with an analytical model allowing simplified calculation. Both models can relatively accurately calculate the shear resistance. The experimental and numerical results show that the increase of the shear resistance of perforated corrugated web beams depends on the wall-thickness and the steel grade of the web opening reinforcement.}, language = {en} } @misc{LiZhangShietal., author = {Li, Zheng and Zhang, Qiulei and Shi, Fei and Wang, Jian and Pasternak, Hartmut}, title = {Geometric Properties of Steel Components with Stability and Fatigue Risks Using 3D-Laser-Scanning}, series = {Buildings}, volume = {14}, journal = {Buildings}, number = {1}, issn = {2075-5309}, doi = {10.3390/buildings14010168}, abstract = {Nowadays, 3D laser scanning technology is extensively employed in laboratory investigations of steel structural components, providing accurate geometric dimensions to reduce uncertainties caused by indeterminate geometry in experimental results. It is often used in conjunction with the Finite Element (FE) Method and analytical solutions, which are more accurate deterministic operators in the research on steel structures. However, establishing a common methodological framework for transferring or mapping 3D-scanned information into finite element models for complex steel structures with stability and fatigue risks remains an ongoing task. In light of this, this study has developed a 3D scanning platform capable of obtaining accurate geometric dimensions for various types of steel components. Different coordinate systems and point cloud mapping algorithms have been established for different types of components to construct actual finite element models with initial imperfections. The feasibility of the self-developed 3D scanning platform and finite element modelling has been validated through three experimental cases: weld details, steel girders, and cylindrical shells. The research findings demonstrate that the captured point cloud can be automatically processed and corrected using the developed algorithm. The scanned data can then be input into the numerical model using various mapping algorithms tailored to the specific geometric properties of the specimens. The differences between the experimental test results and the simulated results obtained from the 3D-scanned finite element models remain within a small range. The self-developed 3D scanning platform and finite element modelling technique effectively capture the actual dimensions of different steel components, enabling the prediction of their stability and fatigue risks through numerical simulations.}, language = {en} } @misc{WangEulerPasternaketal., author = {Wang, Jian and Euler, Mathias and Pasternak, Hartmut and Li, Zheng and Krausche, Thomas and Launert, Benjamin}, title = {Bending capacity of single and double-sided welded I-section girders: Part 1: Experimental investigations}, series = {Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems : Proceedings of The Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, 5-7 September 2022, Cape Town, South Africa}, journal = {Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems : Proceedings of The Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, 5-7 September 2022, Cape Town, South Africa}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {Boca Raton}, isbn = {978-1-00-334845-0}, doi = {10.1201/9781003348443-159}, pages = {975 -- 980}, abstract = {The lateral-torsional buckling resistance of welded steel girders is affected by their residual stresses and geo-metric imperfections.

The investigations include lateral-torsional buckling tests under combined bending and torsion loading caused by three-point bending due to an eccentric vertical single force. The geometric imperfections of the welded test girders are determined by 3D laser scanning. The test results show that the influence of the geometric imperfections and the residual stresses on the lateral-torsional buck-ling resistance is limited for the tested girders.}, language = {en} }
