Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Inelastic Ultimate Load Analysis of Steel Frames Considering Lateral Torsional Buckling Under Distributed Loads(Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2019) Seçer, Mutlu; Uzun, Ertuğrul TürkerContemporary structural design approaches necessitates ways to determine realistic behavior of structures. For this purpose, inelastic ultimate load analysis methods are used widely since strength and stability of whole structure can be represented. In this study, a numerical method is proposed for determining inelastic ultimate load capacity of steel frames considering lateral torsional buckling behavior under distributed loads. In the analyses, inelastic material behavior, second-order effects and residual stresses of the structural frame system and its members are taken into account. Additionally, lateral torsional buckling behavior is considered in the analysis using finite difference method and it is used for determining the structural load carrying capacity of steel frames. Consequently, the problem associated with flexural capacity decreases due to lateral torsional buckling is precisely considered in the load increment steps of inelastic ultimate load analysis. In order to validate the proposed method, numerical examples from the literature are calculated considering the proposed method, AISC 360-16 design specification equations and approaches from the literature. Results of the numerical examples show that lateral torsional buckling is a key issue in determining structural load carrying capacity. Thus, proposed analysis method is shown to be an ef.cient and consistent tool for inelastic ultimate load analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Buckling Behavior of Steel Bridge I-Girders Braced by Permanent Metal Deck Forms(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Helwig, Todd A.; Herman, ReaganPermanent metal deck forms (PMDFs) are often used in the bridge industry to support wet concrete and other loads during construction. Although metal formwork in the building industry is routinely relied on for stability bracing, the forms are not permitted for bracing in the bridge industry, despite the large in-plane stiffness. The forms in bridge applications are typically supported on cold-formed angles, which allow the contractor to adjust the form elevation to account for changes in flange thickness and differential camber between adjacent girders. Although the support angles are beneficial toward the constructability of the bridge, they lead to eccentric connections that substantially reduce the in-plane stiffness of the PMDF systems, which is one of the reasons the forms are not relied on for bracing in bridge applications. This paper documents the results of an investigation focused on improving the bracing potential of bridge deck forms. Modifications to the connection details were developed to improve the stiffness and strength of the forming system. Research included buckling tests on a 15-m (50-ft) long, twin-girder system with PMDFs for bracing. In addition, twin-girder tests were also used to validate computer models of the bracing systems that were used for parametric finite-element analytical studies. The buckling test results demonstrated that modified connection details make PMDF systems a viable bracing alternative in steel bridges, which can significantly reduce the number of cross-frames or diaphragms required for stability bracing of steel bridge I-girders during construction.
