TY - CHAP A1 - Li, Zheng A1 - Pasternak, Hartmut T1 - Development of a stochastic material model at constant stress distribution in steel construction T2 - 16th International Scientific Conference VSU 2016, Sofia, 2016, vol. 1 N2 - This paper briefly presents the results of theoretical and experimental investigations on the size effect in metal. The Chain of Bundle Model, which is based on a stochastic material model by Weibull and log-normal distribution, will be developed and the possibility to approximately determine the parameter ξ of the model is given. The tests were performed on specimens from the same steel with different sizes. According to the experiments, the relationship between the sizes of the specimens and the strength can be analyzed through probability- and reliability theory. The theoretical and experimental results show that if the volume increases hundredfold, the strength will be reduced to 90% ~ 95%. Therefore, the size effect plays an unnegligible role in steel construction.

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 für Materialforschung und -prüfung 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. The experimental validation of the findings is currently being prepared.

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. In this context, the Abaqus Welding Interface (AWI) helps to automate working steps in conjunction with the definition of weld passes and their sequencing, which shall be shown in here. The applicability of this method is discussed showing also a need of further investigations in this field. This is especially with regard to result quality, which requires some experimental back-up. Nonetheless, this method could already help to show up tendencies or to identify potential critical spots in the design.

They allow having no columns in the viewing area and also spanning the whole arena. With the additional use of membranes as the roof shell, the inside of the building will get naturally lighted. 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. Both authors are involved in the verification of the objects (Customer Centre in the Autostadt Wolfsburg-CC, Schierke-Arena ‐FA in the Harz Mountains) mentioned below.

Those approximations of the residuals stress state can be implemented into the structural analysis using multi-purpose FEM program packages. The knowledge of the stress state of free forming cross sections has still to be determined. 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. This paper aims to provide an overview on the possibilities in the numerical prediction of weld residual stresses and weld induced deformations for cross sections with unique shapes. With the obtained values the tendencies of the residual stress state and deformations will be used to optimize the design. A representative example on a section used in a steel compression ring of a realized roof is described and analyzed using a simplification of a numerical welding simulation. The reduced simulation of the originally transient weld procedure was held to a practically reasonable level and can be reproduced for similar problems.

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.

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. Especially highly slender stiffened cylinders benefit from ring-stiffening, showing up to 380% strength gains. Imperfection depths proposed by the current design code were found to be too conservative.

DASt-Forschungskolloquium an der Technischen Universität Kaiserslautern, 6./7. März 2018 N2 - Die Festigkeitsberechnung von Strukturen, zum Beispiel Platten oder Schalen, mittels der Finite-Elemente-Methode gehört schon seit längerem zum Stand der Technik. Berücksichtigt werden bei der Berechnung sowohl geometrische Nichtlinearitäten als auch das nichtlineare Verhalten des Werkstoffs. Die geometrischen und strukturellen Imperfektionen werden bei der Ermittlung der Festigkeit zumeist in ausschließlich geometrischen Imperfektionen, wie bspw. Kombinationen aus Fertigungstoleranzen und den Ergebnissen von Beulanalysen zusammengefasst. Zur Rechtfertigung dieser Vorgehensweise werden die geometrischen Imperfektionen gemäß DIN EN 1993-1-5 erhöht. In einem Kommentar zur selben Norm findet sich ebenfalls eine Empfehlung zur Berücksichtigung von Schweißimperfektionen in Form von vereinfachten Längseigenspannungsverläufen. Diese werden in Abhängigkeit der Fließgrenzspannung des Werkstoffs bei Raumtemperatur und der Dicken der Fügepartner angenommen. Sowohl die Annahme rein geometrischer Imperfektionen als auch die Berücksichtigung vereinfachter Eigenspannungszustände, sind mit Sicherheitszuschlägen behaftet. Durch eine realitätsnähere Berücksichtigung von strukturellen und geometrischen Imperfektionen, hervorgerufen durch Schweißprozesse, kann die tatsächliche Tragfähigkeit einer Struktur wesentlich exakter bestimmt werden. Inhalt dieses Artikels ist die Anwendung eines analytisch-numerischen Hybridmodells zur Schweißimperfektionsberechnung an einer doppelt versteiften Platte und einer anschließenden Festigkeitsanalyse. Eingangs wird das analytische Modell vorgestellt und auf die grundlegenden physikalischen Zusammenhänge eingegangen. Es folgt die Erläuterung des Kopplungsalgorithmus zwischen analytischem Modell und der numerischen Berechnung. Angewendet an der doppelt versteiften Platte, wird ein realitätsnaher geometrischer und struktureller Imperfektionszustand berechnet. Eine anschließende Traglastanalyse gibt Aufschluss über das Verformungsverhalten unter achsialer Krafteinwirkung. Zur Bewertung der Ergebnisse wird ein Modell gleicher geometrischer Abmessungen und Werkstoffkennwerte aus der Literatur herangezogen. Berechnet wurden die ersten 6 Eigenformen mittels analytischer und numerischer Modelle sowie die Last-Verformungskurven unter der Annahme unterschiedlicher geometrischer Imperfektionen. Um die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse zu sichern, wird eingangs die Lagerung des Modells sowie der Kraftangriffspunkt in Längsrichtung invers, durch den Vergleich der ersten 6 Beulformen sowie der Last-Verformungskurven dreier Imperfektionen, bestimmt. Darauf aufbauen wird die Last-Verformungskurve für einen überlagerten Imperfektionszustand berechnet, wobei die geometrischen Imperfektionen aus den Fertigungstoleranzen abgeleitet und die strukturellen idealisiert, gemäß DIN EN 1993-1-5, gewählt werden. Abschließend werden alle Last-Verformungskurven einander gegenübergestellt. Anhand des Vergleichs kann quantifiziert werden, wie konservativ die einzelnen angenommenen Imperfektionen sind und wie sich der Verformungsverlauf darstellt, berechnet man diesen unter Verwendung realitätsnaher geometrischer und struktureller Imperfektionen.

DASt-Forschungskolloquium an der Technischen Universität Kaiserslautern, 6./7. März 2018 N2 - Ringsteifen werden typischerweise bei dünnwandigen Tanks am Mantel befestigt, um auch für starken Wind und/oder Unterdruck eine ausreichende Beulsicherheit sicherzustellen. Eine Vielzahl an Veröffentlichungen zum Thema Ringsteifen beschäftigt sich ausschließlich mit den vorher genannten Lastfällen. Dagegen ist der traglaststeigernde Einfluss der Ringsteifen im Lastfall Axialdruck kaum erforscht. Experimentell wurde vor allem in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren gegenüber unversteiften Schalen, für eng-ringversteifte ein erheblich verbessertes Tragverhalten nachgewiesen. Der eingeschränkte Parameterbereich der Untersuchungen verhindert jedoch die Anwendung der Erkenntnisse im Metallbau, wo, aufgrund der Fertigungskosten, eher wenige, dafür kräftigere Ringsteifen eingesetzt werden. Der Beitrag baut auf den experimentellen Studien als Grundlage auf und erweitert die Erkenntnisse mittels numerischer Parameterstudien von eng-ringversteiften Schalen auf Kreiszylinder mit Steifenabständen bis zum Zehnfachen der klassischen Beulhalbwellenlänge 1.73√rt. Es wird gezeigt, dass auch mit versteiften Schalen, bei denen der Steifenabstand größer als zwei Beulhalbwellenlängen ist, noch Tragfähigkeitssteigerungen gegenüber der unversteiften Schale erreicht werden können. Erwartungsgemäß sind die Zugewinne an Traglast bei enger versteiften Kreiszylindern am größten, wobei vor allem dünnwandige Strukturen von der verringerten Imperfektionssensitivität profitieren. Die Ergebnisse, angewandt auf die Baupraxis, erlauben eine wirtschaftlichere Bemessung von Tanks und Silos mit Ringsteifen, sofern Axialdruck eine bemessungsrelevante Lastsituation darstellt. Dies ist in der Regel bei überdachten Silos und windbelasteten Flachbodentanks der Fall. Dafür ist kein zusätzlicher Konstruktionsaufwand notwendig, da lediglich die ohnehin vorhandene Struktur vorteilhafter ausgenutzt wird.

Teil 1: Entwicklung eines numerischen Modells) T2 - Bauingenieur N2 - Welded tubular joints are widely used in structural engineering due to their excellent resistance and stiffness in contrast to open sections, as well as simpler end preparation. Welding residual stresses that occur in these joints after the welding process can affect their structural behavior. Some recent experimental studies have shown that this effect can be considerable. This study numerically evaluates the influence of welding residual stresses on the behavior of rectangular hollow section T joints. The paper consists of two parts. Part I develops and validates a finite element model for the joints directly taking into account welding residual stresses by means of an upstream thermomechanical simulation of the welding process. It is proven that particular attention needs to be paid to the discretization of the model, the material properties and the adequate description of the weld heat input. The validation with experimental results shows that the developed numerical model properly captures the local structural behavior of tubular joints and can be efficiently used for further investigations. Part II employs the constructed model to investigate the effect of welding residual stresses on the resistance and initial stiffness of the considered joints. N2 - Geschweißte Hohlprofilknoten sind aufgrund besserer Festigkeits – und Steifigkeitseigenschaften im Vergleich zu offenen Profilen sowie ihrer einfacheren Fertigung weit verbreitet. Schweißeigenspannungen, die infolge des Fügens der Einzelkomponenten mittels Schweißen entstehen, können deren Tragverhalten zum Teil stark beeinflussen, was auch durch einige neuere Untersuchungen belegt wird. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt eine erweiterte Vorgehensweise für die Finite-Elemente-Modellierung am Beispiel eines T-Knotens aus Rechteckhohlprofilen. Der Beitrag gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Teil 1 beinhaltet die Entwicklung und Validierung eines numerischen Modells, welches Schweißeinflüsse durch eine vorangehende thermomechanische Simulation explizit modelliert und diese in nachfolgende Berechnungsschritte einbezieht. Dabei werden die Bedeutung einer geeigneten Vernetzung des Modells, der Materialeigenschaften und eines zutreffenden Schweißwärmeeintrags diskutiert. Die Validierung mit experimentellen Ergebnissen zeigt die Eignung des entwickelten numerischen Modells und dass dieses das lokale Tragverhalten entsprechender Knotenverbindungen korrekt erfasst. Es kann daher für nachfolgende Untersuchungen weiterverwendet werden. Teil 2 zeigt die diesbezüglich durchgeführten Parameterstudien, um die Auswirkungen der Schweißeigenspannungen auf die Tragfähigkeit und die Anfangssteifigkeit der untersuchten Knotenverbindung darzustellen.

Moreover, the main girders, the roadway and the horizontal links connect statically and constructively in a whole monolithic structure. Thus, the construction follows better the real distribution of internal forces in steel structure. Loading possibility of high-quality steel material is well used, by which the economic effect of the construction increases significantly compared to the riveted old bridges. The application of this theory in Bulgaria in the period 1976 – 1992 allowed the Bulgarian bridge construction to build several unique by their size steel road bridges of steel orthotropic decks.

Teil 2 – Parameterstudien T2 - Bauingenieur N2 - Welding residual stresses that occur in tubular joints after the welding process affect their structural behavior. To ensure that these stresses do not negatively act on the load-bearing capacity of joints, their influence should be carefully investigated. This paper represents the second part of a study that numerically evaluates the structural behavior of rectangular hollow section T joints taking into account welding residual stresses. The finite element model developed in Part 1 is now used to evaluate their effect on the resistance and initial stiffness of tubular joints. The conducted parametric analyses show that welding residual stresses have a positive influence of 1–19 % on the plastic resistance of tubular joints and insignificantly reduce their initial stiffness. At the same time, the behavior of the considered joints is found not to depend on the welding sequence.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen im untersuchten Parameterfeld eine Traglaststeigerung zwischen 1 % und 19 %. Die Anfangssteifigkeit wird generell nur geringfügig reduziert. Gleichzeitig wird gezeigt, dass die Schweißreihenfolge in den untersuchten Fällen keinen nennenswerten Einfluss auf die Tragfähigkeit ausübt.

This randomness results in uncertain response of the structure in the sequentially coupled thermal-mechanical analysis by welding simulation. Because of the limitations of deterministic welding simulation, the stochastic finite element method with random field will be introduced into the welding simulation, so that the welded structure can be more accurately calculated in the stability and reliability structural analysis. Particularly, it is necessary to propose reasonable distributions of residual stress from welding simulations based on statistical and reliability theories. This paper is intended to implement the stochastic finite element method in the welding simulation using a general-purpose simulation program and to demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the statistical distribution function of the welding simulation response is obtained by maximum entropy fitting method. Then, a numerical example is presented by the proposed method.
