FOREWORD This book, or manual, is the result of the work of eight individuals from four research centres and university departments. This work has been three years long, all the way enjoyable if difficult. The design of steel frames has long been considered as being composed of two different stages, the design of members being quite a separate task from the design of joints. The original idea of this manual occurred soon after the moment when the developments of knowledge resulted into the introduction in the European design code (Eurocode 3) of the so-called concept of semi-rigid design or the semicontinuous design. But the book is more general and refers to any kind of joints in building frames. As is often the case with progress, those semi-rigid developments, while recognising the true behaviour of joints in steel frames, were at first sight seen as a nest of complications for any designer. When using the wording « progress », it is of course not only for the sake of science, far from that ! One main motivation for this work was to show how the semi-continuous concept may help the designer to achieve a better global economy in the project, through proper and « custom-made » balancing between the material costs (members weight) and the fabrication costs (joints). These ways for better economy have been suggested in several publications already. It is expected that this manual will provide the reader with the tools for mastering the ways towards cheaper structures which means a larger marketshare for steel construction. That definitely meant encompassing the complete progress of designing, including global analysis and design checks. But this is not the end. As was amply demonstrated through the discussions within the drafting panel (and believe me it is quite difficult to get eight people to agree on any practical issue), there seems to exist quite a world between the frame designers and the joint designers. No doubt that this state of facts is due to the traditional habit of considering joints as pinned or rigid - thus simplifying the assumptions for frame

design -, but also to the fact that different people (either within the same company, or in different companies for several European countries) deal with the design of members and joints respectively. Hence this book boldly tries at considering the design of members and joints as a whole, whenever the design organisation allows for it, and please take that statement in a broad sense ! The authors have made their best efforts to include those different design situations in this work, and I truly believe that this is rather unusual in that kind of manual. So praise to them if they have succeeded ! The reader will find in this manual some theoretical background, application rules (compatible with Eurocode 3) and worked examples . Also a software has been developed, and this fits with the present economical way to deal with calculations within design offices. Regarding joints, it is to be noted that, instead of the original Annex J to Eurocode 3, the revised Annex J was considered. This revised Annex was adopted in 1994 and its publication as an ENV is expected in 1997. Within our drafting panel, I was personally the lowest ranking expert (you may understand not a real expert!) either in frame design or in joints behaviour knowledge, the reason, why, supposedly, I was kindly asked by Professor René Maquoi, Project Manager, to produce this foreword, thus acting in the process as a kind of Candid. I am glad, and not the least ashamed, to say that, despite the occasional fences and difficulties in the work, I took profit of it by learning quite a lot, and I feel sure that my fellow writers learned some things also during the process. So what is only left to be expected is that you, our reader, will also gather a lot and take a very good profit from this book. So be it, and long live our weil designed steel structures! But a work is never quite finished. Eurocode 3 will come, slowly or quickly, into common use. Practical experience will for sure suggest a lot of improvements or afterthoughts. Our interest and please will be to know of your comments and criticisms.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Aims of this manual The aim of this manual is threefold: • To present, in simple terms, the behaviour of steel structural frames and the techniques to model this behaviour; • To provide the designer with practical guidance and tools for the design of the structure, incorporating a treatment of the joints at all design stages; • To illustrate the possibilities of producing more economical structures using the new approaches offered in Eurocode 3. The organisation of the manual reflects the belief that, in addition to the sizing of the members (beams and columns), consideration should also be given to the joint characteristics throughout the design process. This approach, despite the novelty it may present to many designers, is shown to be relatively easy to integrate into everyday practice using present day design tools. Hence the present manual addresses design methodology, structural analysis, joint behaviour and design checks, at three different levels: • Presentation and discussion of concepts; • Practical guidance and design tools; • Worked examples. 1.1.1

Generally speaking, the process of designing building structures has been up to now made up of the following successive steps: • Frame modelling (including the choice of rigid or pinned joints); • Initial sizing of beams and columns; • Evaluation of internal forces and moments (load effects) for each ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) load combination; • Design checks of ULS and SLS criteria; • Iteration on member sizes until all design checks are satisfactory; • Design of joints to resist the relevant members end forces (either those calculated or the maximum ones able to be transmitted by the actual

2I

members); the design is carried out in accordance with the prior assumptions (frame modelling) on joint stiffness. This approach was possible since designers were accustomed to considering the joints to be either pinned or rigid only. In this way, the design of the joints became a separate task from the design of the members. Indeed, joint design was often performed at a later stage, either by other personnel or by another company. Recognising that most joints have a real behaviour which is intermediate between that of pinned and rigid joints, Eurocode 3 offers the possibility to account for this behaviour by opening up the way to what is presently known as the semi-rigid approach. This approach to design offers the potential for achieving better and more economical structures. 1.1.2 The s e m i - r i g i d a p p r o a c h The rotational behaviour of actual joints is well recognised as being often intermediate between the two extreme situations, i.e. rigid or pinned. In chapter 4, the difference between joints and connections will be introduced. For the time being, we will use examples of joints between one beam and one column only. Let us now consider the bending moments and the related rotations at a joint (Figure 1.1):

Figure 1.1 Classification of joints according to stiffness When all the different parts in the joint are sufficiently stiff (i.e. ideally infinitely stiff), the joint is rigid, and there is no difference between the respective rotations at the ends of the members connected at this joint (Figure 1.1 .a). The joint experiences a single global rigid-body rotation which is the nodal rotation in the commonly used analysis methods for framed structures.

TT

Should the joint be without any stiffness, then the beam will behave just as a simply supported beam, whatever the behaviour of the other connected member(s) (Figure 1.1 .b). This is a pinned joint. For intermediate cases (non zero and non infinite stiffness), the transmitted moment will result in there being a difference φ between the absolute rotations of the two connected members (Figure 1.1.c). The joint is semi-rigid in these cases. The simplest means for representing the concept is a rotational (spiral) spring between the ends of the two connected members. The rotational stiffness S of this spring is the parameter that links the transmitted moment M¡ to the relative rotation φ, which is the difference between the absolute rotations of the two connected members. When this rotational stiffness S is zero, or when it is relatively small, the joint falls back into the pinned joint class. In contrast, when the rotational stiffness S is infinite, or when it is relatively high, the joint falls into the rigid joint class. In all the intermediate cases, the joint belongs to the semi­rigid joint class. M,

Figure 1.2 Modelling of joints (case of elastic global analysis) For semi­rigid joints the loads will result in both a bending moment M¡ and a relative rotation φ between the connected members. The moment and the relative rotation are related through a constitutive law depending on the joint properties. This is illustrated in Figure 1.2, where, for the sake of simplicity, the global analysis is assumed to be performed with linear elastic assumptions



(how to deal with non-linear behaviour situations will be addressed later on, especially in chapters 3, 5, 7, 9). It shall be understood that the effect, at the global analysis stage, of having semi-rigid joints instead of rigid or pinned joints is to modify not only the displacements, but also the distribution and magnitude of the internal forces throughout the structure. As an example, the bending moment diagrams in a fixed-base simple portal frame subjected to a uniformly distributed load are given in Figure 1.3 for two situations, where the beam-to-column joints are respectively either pinned or semi-rigid. The same kind of consideration holds for deflections.

1.1.3 T h e m e r i t s of the s e m i - r i g i d a p p r o a c h Both the Eurocode 3 requirements and the desire to model the behaviour of the structure in a more realistic way leads to the consideration of the semi-rigid behaviour when necessary. Many designers would stop at that basic interpretation of Eurocode 3 and hence would be reluctant to confront the implied additional computational effort involved. Obviously a crude way to deal with this new burden will be for them to design joints that will actually continue to be classified as being either pinned or fully rigid. However such properties will have to be proven at the end of the design process; in addition, such joints will certainly be found to be uneconomical in a number of situations.

24

It shall be noted that the concept of rigid and pinned joints still exists in Eurocode 3. It is accepted that a joint which is almost rigid or, on the contrary, almost pinned ) may still be considered as being truly rigid or truly pinned in the design process. How to judge whether a joint can be considered as rigid, semi­ rigid or pinned depends on the comparison between the joint stiffness and the beam stiffness, which latter depends on the second moment of area and length of the beam. The designer is strongly encouraged to go beyond this "all or nothing" attitude. Actually it is possible, and therefore of interest, to consider the benefits to be gained from the semi-rigid behaviour of joints. Those benefits can be brought in two ways : 1. The designer decides to continue with the practice of assuming -sometimes erroneously- that joints are either pinned or fully rigid. However, Eurocode 3 requires that proper consideration be given to the influence that the actual behaviour of the joints has on the global behaviour of the structure, i.e. on the precision with which the distribution of forces and moments and the displacements have been determined. This may not prove to be easy when the joints are designed at a late stage in the design process since some iterations between global analysis and design checking may be required. Nevertheless, the following situations can be foreseen: •

So that a joint can be assumed to be rigid, it is common practice to introduce web stiffeners in the column. Eurocode 3 now provides the means to check whether such stiffeners are really necessary for the joint to be both rigid and have sufficient resistance. There are practical cases where they are not needed, thus permitting the adoption of a more economical joint design.



When joints assumed to be pinned are later found to have fairly significant stiffness (i.e. to be semi-rigid), the designer may be in a position to reduce beam sizes. This is simply because the moments carried by the joints reduce the span moments in the beams.

2. The designer decides to give consideration, at the preliminary design stage, not only to the properties of the members but also to those of the joints. It will be shown that this new approach is not at all incompatible with the sometimes customary separation of the design tasks between those who have the responsibility for conceiving the structure and carrying out the global analysis and those who have the responsibility for designing the joints. Indeed, both tasks are very often performed by different people, indeed, or by different companies, depending on national or local industrial habits. Adopting this novel manner towards design requires a good understanding of the balance between, on the one hand, the costs and the complexity of joints and, on the other hand, the optimisation of the structural behaviour and

performance through the more accurate consideration of joint behaviour for the design as a whole. Two examples are given to illustrate this: •

It was mentioned previously that it is possible in some situations to eliminate column web stiffeners, therefore reduce costs. Despite the reduction in its stiffness and, possibly, in its strength, the joint can still be considered to be rigid and be found to have sufficient strength. This is shown to be possible for industrial portal frames with rafter­to­column haunch joints, in particular, but other cases can be envisaged.



In a more general way, it is worthwhile to consider the effect of adjusting the joint stiffness so as to strike the best balance between the cost of the joints and the costs of the beams and the columns. For instance, for braced frames, the use of semi­rigid joints, which are probably more costly than the pinned joints, leads to reducing the beam sizes. For unbraced frames, the use of less costly semi­rigid joints, instead of the rigid joints, leads to increased beam sizes and possibly column sizes.

Of course the task may seem a difficult one, and this is why this manual is aimed at providing the designer with a set of useful design tools. The whole philosophy could be termed as "As you must do it, so better make the best of it". Thus Eurocode 3 now presents the designer with a choice between a traditionalist attitude, where however something may often be gained, and an innovative attitude, where the best economical result may best be sought. It is important to stress the high level of similarity that exists between the member classification and the joint classification. This topic is addressed in the Section 1.1.4. 1.1.4 A parallel b e t w e e n m e m b e r s e c t i o n s and j o i n t s in t h e s e m i ­ r i g i d approach Member cross­section behaviour may be considered through an Μ-φ curve for a simply supported beam loaded at mid span (M : bending­moment at mid­span ; φ : sum of rotations at the span ends). Joint behaviour will be considered through a similar relationship, but with M = M¡ being the bending moment transmitted by the joint and φ being the relative rotation between the connected member and the rest of the joint. Those relationships have a similar shape as illustrated in Figure 1.4. According to Eurocode 3 member cross­sections are divided into four classes according to their varying ability to resist local instability, when partially or totally subject to compression, and the consequences this may have on the possibility for plastic redistribution. Therefore their resistance ranges from the full plastic

26

resistance (class 1 and 2) to the elastic resistance (class 3) or the sub-elastic resistance (class 4).

Figure 1.4 Μ-φ characteristics for member cross-section and joint The belonging of a cross-section to a specific class governs the assumptions on: • The behaviour to be idealised for global analysis (i.e. class 1 will allow the formation of a plastic hinge and permit the redistribution of internal forces in the frame as loads are increased up to or beyond the design loads); • The behaviour to be taken into account for local design checks (i.e. class 4 will imply that the resistance of the cross-section is based on the properties of a relevant effective cross-section rather than of the gross cross-section). In Eurocode 3, the classification of a cross-section is based on the width-tothickness ratio of the component walls of the section. Ductility is directly related to the amount of rotation during which the design bending resistance will be sustained. The also used rotation capacity concept is equivalent to the ductility concept. In a manner similar to that for member cross-sections, joints are classified in terms of ductility or rotation capacity, joints are classified. This classification is a measure of their ability to resist premature local instability and, even more likely, premature brittle failure (especially due to bolt failure) with due consequences on the type of global analysis allowed. The practical interest of such a classification for joints is to check whether an elastoplastic global analysis may be conducted up to the formation of a plastic collapse mechanism in the structure, which implies such hinges in at least some of the joints.

Figure 1.5 Ductility or rotation capacity in joints As will be shown, this classification of joints by ductility, while not explicitly stated in Eurocode 3, may be defined from the geometric and mechanical properties of the joint components (bolts, welds, plate thickness, etc.). Joints may therefore be classified according to both their stiffness and their ductility. Moreover, joints may be classified according to their strength. In terms of their strength, joints are classified as full-strength or partial-strength according to their resistance compared to the resistance of the connected members. For elastic design, the use of partial-strength joints is well understood. When plastic design is used, the main use of this classification is to foresee the possible need to allow a plastic hinge to form in the joint during the global analysis. In order to permit the increase of loads, a partial-strength joint may be required to act as a hinge from the moment when its plastic bending resistance is reached, in that case, the joint must also have sufficient ductility. The final parallel to be stressed between joints and members is that the same kind of link exists between the global analysis stage and the ultimate limit states design checking stage. The latter has to extend to all aspects that were not implicitly or explicitly taken into account at the global analysis stage. Generally speaking, one can state that the more sophisticated the global analysis is, the simpler are the ultimate limit states design checks required. The choice of global analysis will thus depend not only of what is required by Eurocode 3 but also on personal choices, depending on specific situations, available software's, etc. A particular choice means striking a balance between the amount of effort devoted to global analysis and the amount of effort required for the check of remaining ULS (Figure 1.6).

1.2 Brief description of the contents of the manual This manual is divided into three main parts: • Part 1 deals with technical background, and it is primarily an explanation of the new concepts as well as a simple presentation of the contents and consequences of the novel approach to design offered by Eurocode 3. • Part 2 presents application rules and it is aimed at daily use by the designer. It is the translation of Part 1 in terms of formulae, by-hand methods and software presentation. Guidelines, data and hints are given for those who wish to develop their own software aids on common PC hardware. For example, in addition to the design tables that are given for a variety of joints, the design sheets are also provided. These sheets should allow users having a basic programming knowledge to develop their own programme. • Part 3 consists in a set of worked examples. In Part 1, three chapters address in succession the design, the characterisation of joints, the available methods of global analysis and, finally, the decision on the type of global analysis and the related checks of limit states. For Part 2, the order is different than in Part 1, with Chapters 8 and 9 describing design tools the general use of which is outlined in Chapter 7. Part 3 is truly the place where the designer will find clues to decide which overall strategy is the best for his purposes. The contents of the present manual is in accordance with Eurocode 3-Part 1 and, as such, makes the many references to design values. These design values are related to structural safety as defined in Eurocode 1 and Eurocode 3 and they include relevant partial safety factors for resistance (y ), as opposed to either nominal or characteristic values. They are generally indicated by the

subscript d ; for instance Mpl\pd ' s member cross-section.

Concerning the loads, only one load case is generally considered in the manual, it being understood that the described operations shall be performed for each load combination case.

1.3 Division of the manual and directions to use it For a first reading of this manual, it is strongly advised to give a thorough consideration to the present introduction and to Part 1, in order to grasp the basic concepts once and for all. For practical daily use, Part 2 (design rules) is of the main interest, it being supplemented by the worked examples presented in Part 3. Part 1 may always be reconsulted for clarification of problems related to general fundamentals. It should be noted that this manual has been written according to the most recent version of Eurocode 3, and especially to the revised Annex J to Eurocode 3, dealing with the design of joints. However, some evolution in Eurocode 3 is to be expected in the near future, either at the European level or at each national level (on this latter respect, the values of partial safety factors are a particular case of point). This manual will, as far as possible, be maintained up-to-date. However the reader is strongly advised to check on the current state of the Eurocode 3-Part 1 Standard and to proceed with the possible modifications that may be required. Similarly, the software tools that may be developed by third parties, based on the contents of this manual, should be checked to be in accordance with the latest version of the design rules. The same remark obviously holds for any software developed by the reader using the information given in this manual. To that effect, the date of issue is clearly indicated on the front page of the manual. Any possible revised version of the latter will be supplied with a revision index.

1.4 Types of joints covered Strictly speaking, the joints covered are those directly covered by Eurocode 3(revised) Annex J, as listed hereafter; however, the same principles are also valid for many other types of joints and cross-sections. The manual addresses: • Members cross sections : H or I rolled or welded sections. • Beam-to-column joints : Welded joints (with or without haunch). Bolted end-plate connections (with or without haunch).

30

• Beam splices :

Bolted top and seat angle connections (with or without web angles). Bolted end­plate connections.

When relevant, both major axis (moment acting in the plane of greatest inertia of the column cross­section) and minor axis (moment acting in the plane of lowest inertia of the column cross­section) joints are covered, as regard principles. Application rules deal only with major axis joints.

1.5 Domain of validity The use of information given in this manual when designing structures and joints shall be restricted to the following:

•Static loading only. •Steel grades for members and joints: S235 to S355 according to EN 10025; S355ÌO S460 according to EN 10113. • For welded sections and for some rules: depth­to­thickness ratio of the web d/tw < 69ε.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

2.1 Introduction This chapter describes the various approaches which can be used to design steel frames with due attention being paid to the behaviour of the joints. In practice, this design activity is normally performed by one or two parties, according to one of the following ways: • An engineering office (in short engineeή and a steel fabricator (in short fabrica^, referred as Case A; • An engineering office (engineer) alone, referred as Case B1; • A steel fabricator (fabricator) alone, referred as Case B2. At the end of this design phase, fabrication by the steel fabricator takes place. The share of responsibilities for design and fabrication respectively is given in Table 2.1 for these three cases.

Table 2.1 Parties and their roles in the design/fabrication process of a steel structure The design process is ideally aimed at ascertaining that a given structure fulfils architectural requirements, on the one hand, and is safe, serviceable and durable for a minimum of global cost, on the other hand. The parties involved in the design activities also care about the cost of these latter, with a view to optimising their respective profits. In Case A, the engineer designs the members while the steel fabricator designs the joints. It is up to the engineer to specify the mechanical requirements to be fulfilled by the joints. The fabricator has then to design the joints accordingly, keeping in mind the manufacturing aspects also. Due to the disparity in the

35

respective involvements of both parties, the constructional solution adopted by the fabricator for the joints may reveal to be sub-optimal; indeed it is dependent on the beam and column sizing that is made previously by the engineer. The latter may for instance aim at minimum shape sizes, with the consequence that the joints then need stiffeners in order to achieve safety and serviceability requirements. If he chooses larger shapes, then joints may prove to be less elaborated and result in a better economy of the structure as a whole (Figure 2.1). In Case B1, the engineer designs both the members and the joints. He is thus able to account for mechanical joint properties when designing members. He can search for global cost optimisation too. It may happen however that the engineer has only a limited knowledge of the manufacturing requisites (machinery used, available materials, bolt grades and spacing, accessibility for welding, ...); then this approach may contribute some increase in the fabrication cost.

Figure 2.1 Two solutions: different economy Case B2 is ideal with regard to global economy. Indeed the design of both members and joints are in the hands of the fabricator who is presumably well aware of all the manufacturing aspects. Before commenting on these various approaches, it is necessary to introduce some wording regarding joints. A joint is termed simple, semi-continuous or continuous. This wording is general; it is concerned with resistance, with stiffness or with both. Being a novelty for most readers, some detailed explanations are given in Chapter 4 on joints. In two circumstances only - that are related to the methods of global frame analysis (see Chapter 5) -, this wording leads to more commonly used terms:

3ft

1. In an elastic global frame analysis, only stiffness of joints is involved. Then, a simple joint is a pinned joint, a continuous joint is a rigid joint while a semicontinuous is a semi-rigid joint; 2. In a rigid-plastic analysis, only resistance of joints is involved. Then, a simple joint is a pinned joint, a continuous joint is a full-strength joint while a semicontinuous joint is a partial-strength joint. The various cases described above are commented on in the present chapter. For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that global frame analysis is conducted based on an elastic method of analysis. This assumption is however not at ali a restriction; should another kind of analysis be performed, similar conclusions would indeed be drawn. For the design of steel frames, the designer can follow one of the following design approaches: • Traditional design approach : The joints are presumably either simple or continuous. The members are designed first; then the joints are. Such an approach may be used in any Case A, B1 or B2; it is of common practice in almost all the European countries. • Consistent design approach : Both member and joint properties are accounted for when starting the global frame analysis. This approach is normally used in Cases B1 and B2, and possibly in Case A. • Intermediate design approach : Members and joints are preferably designed by a single party (Case B1 or B2). These approaches are described more in detail in the following paragraphs. They are illustrated by some case studies in Chapter 6.

2.2 Traditional design approach In the traditional design approach, any joint is assumed to be either simple or continuous. A simple joint is capable of transmitting the internal forces got from the global frame analysis but does not develop a significant moment resistance which might affect adversely the beam and/or column structural behaviour. A continuous joint exhibits only a limited relative rotation between the members connected as long as the applied bending moment does not exceed the bending resistance of the joint. The assumption of simple and/or continuous joints results in the share of design activities into two more or less independent tasks, with limited data flow in between. The traditional design approach of any steel frame consists of eight steps (Figure 2.2).

The structural idealisation is a conversion of the real properties of the frame into the properties required for frame analysis. Beams and columns are normally modelled as bars. Dependent on the type of frame analysis which will be applied, properties need to be assigned to these bars. For example, if an elastic analysis is used, only the stiffness properties of the members are relevant; the joints are pinned or rigid and are modelled accordingly (Figure 2.3).

Loads are determined based on national or European standards.

Step 3 :

The designer normally performs the preliminary design - termed pre­ design in short - of beams and columns by taking advantage of his own design experience from previous projects. Should he have a limited experience only, then simple design rules can help for a rough sizing of the members. In the pre-design, an assumption shall be made concerning the stress distribution within the sections (elastic, plastic), on the one hand, and, possibly, on the allowance for plastic redistribution between sections, on the other hand. Therefore classes need to be assumed for the structural shapes composing the frame (see Chapter 3); the validity of this assumption shall be verified later in Step 5.

Step 4 :

The input for global frame analysis is dependent on the type of analysis. In an elastic analysis, the input is the geometry of the frame, the loads and the flexural stiffness of the members. In a rigidplastic analysis, the input is the geometry of the frame, the loads and the resistance of the members. An elastic-plastic analysis requires both resistance and flexural stiffness of the members. Whatever the type of global frame analysis, the distribution and the magnitude of the internal forces and displacements are the output (however rigidplastic analysis does not allow for any information regarding displacements).

y>

Step 5 :

Limit state verifications consist normally in checking the displacements of the frame and of the members under service loading conditions (Serviceability Limit States, in short SLS), the resistance of the member sections (Ultimate Limit States, in short ULS), as well as the frame and member stability (ULS). The assumptions made regarding the section classes (see Step 3) are checked also.

Step 6 :

The adjustment of member sizing is to be carried out when the limit state verifications fail, or when undue under-loading occurs in a part of the structure. Member sizing is adjusted by choosing larger shapes in the first case, smaller ones in the second case. Normally the designer's experience and know-how form the basis for the decisions made in this respect.

Steps 7/S.The member sizes and the magnitude of the internal forces that are experienced by the joints are the starting point for the design of joints. The purpose of any joint design task is to find a conception which allows for a safe and sound transmission of the internal forces from the beam into the column. Additionally, when a simple joint is adopted, the fabricator shall verify that no significant bending moment develops in the joint. For a continuous joint, the fabricator shall check whether the joint satisfies the assumptions made in Step 1 (for instance, whether the joint stiffness is sufficiently large when an elastic global frame analysis is performed). In addition, the rotation capacity shall be appropriate when necessary. The determination of the mechanical properties of a joint is called joint characterisation (see Section 4.5). To check whether a joint may be considered as simple or continuous, reference will be made to joint classification (see Section 4.6). Guidance provided in this manual is implemented by design tables for joints. These tables are in compliance with Eurocode 3. They can be very helpful during the design process because they enlighten drastically the design tasks. The designer selects the joints out of these tables which provide the strength and stiffness properties of the relevant joints, as well as, when necessary, the rotation capacity. A dedicated software, called DESIMAN, developed as a supplement to these tables, may be an alternative to the latter; it requires the whole layout of the joint as input and provides strength, stiffness and rotational capacity as output. Computer based design proceeds interactively by trial and error; for instance, the designer first tries a simple solution and improves it by adjusting the joint layout until the strength and stiffness criteria are fulfilled. Such a convivial software was developed in the frame of the preparation of present manual.

40

The mechanical properties of a joint shall be consistent with those required by the modelling of this joint in view of global frame analysis. Either the design of the joint and/or that of the members may need to be adjusted. In any case, some steps of the design approach need to be repeated.

2.3 Consistent design approach In the consistent design approach, the global analysis is carried out in full consistency with the presumed real joint response (Figure 2.4). It is therefore different from the traditional design approach described in Section 2.2 in several respects: • Structural conception : In the structural conception phase, the real mechanical behaviour of the joints is modelled; • Preliminary design : In the pre-design phase, joints are selected by the practitioner based on his experience. Proportions for the joint components are determined : end-plate or cleat dimensions, location of bolts, number and diameter of bolts, sizes of column and beam flanges, thickness and depth of column web, etc.; • Determination of the mechanical properties : In Step 4, the structural response of both the selected members and joints is determined. First the joints are characterised (see Section 4.5) with the possible consequence of having a non-linear behaviour. This characterisation is followed by an idealisation, for instance according to a linear or bi-linear joint response curve (see Section 4.4), which becomes a part of the input for global frame analysis; • Global frame analysis : For the purpose of global frame analysis, any joint structural response is assigned to a relevant spring in the frame model. This activity is called modelling (see Section 4.3). Of course the consistent design approach is only possible when both members and joints are designed by a single party, because the mechanical properties of the joints must be accounted for when starting the global frame analysis. In other words, this approach suits both Case B1 and Case B2. In Chapter 6, information is given on intermediate forms. As it accounts for any kind of behaviour, the consistent design especially applicable to frames with so-called semi-continuous modelling of semi-continuous joints is presented in Section 4.3 in the global frame analysis. It may also be applied when designing simple or continuous joints.

2.4 Intermediate design approaches The two design approaches described in Section 2.2 (for frames with simple or continuous joints) and in Section 2.3 (for frames with semi-continuous joints) correspond to extreme situations. Intermediate approaches can be used. For example, the procedure given in Figure 2.1 can also be applied for semi-

42

continuous joints. In that case, during the first pass through the design process, the joints are assumed to behave as simple or continuous joints. Joints are then chosen, the real properties of which are then accounted for in a second pass of the global analysis (i.e. after Step 8). The design process is then pursued similarly to the one described in Figure 2.4. Some applications of intermediate design approaches are commented on in Chapter 6.

CHAPTER 3

GLOBAL FRAME ANALYSIS

3.1 Introduction 3.1.1

Scope

Global analysis aims at determining the distribution of the internal forces and moments and the corresponding displacements in a structure subjected to a specified loading. Achieving this purpose requires the adoption of adequate models which incorporate assumptions about the behaviour of the structure and in particular of its component members and joints. Only the essential aspects are reviewed here. For example, as the basic concepts of structural analysis are considered to be largely known and furthermore are covered by many textbooks, they will not be elaborated on here. 3.1.2 L o a d - d i s p l a c e m e n t r e l a t i o n s h i p of f r a m e s The relationship between the load parameter and a significant displacement parameter characterises the frame behaviour (Figure 3.1). The load parameter λ is most often a multiplier applied to all the load components so as to produce monotonous and proportional increase in the loading, while the displacement parameter may be taken as the lateral displacement at the top level. The slope of the curve is a measure of the stiffness of the structure. One observes that the response of the structure is quasi-linear up to a certain point (the linear limit). Once the linear limit is reached, the positive slope of the rising part of the curve gradually reduces due to a combination of three kinds of non-linearities: geometrical non-linearity, joint non-linearity and material nonlinearity. Joint non-linearity usually manifests itself at relatively low levels of load. Geometrical non-linearity expresses the influence of the actual deformed shape of the structure on the distribution of the internal forces and moments. Typically it becomes evident well before the onset of material yielding. Beyond the latter, the response becomes progressively non-linear as the load increases up to a maximum. Once the maximum load is reached, equilibrium would require a decrease in the magnitude of the loads.

Figure 3.1 Load-displacement response of a framed structure The slope of the curve (i.e. the frame sway stiffness) is zero at the peak load; and then it becomes negative indicating that the structure is henceforward unstable. The peak load, often termed the ultimate load, is the point of imminent structural collapse in the absence of the possibility of load shedding.

3.2 Methods of global analysis 3.2.1 General The determination of the actual load-displacement response generally requires the use of a sophisticated analysis method. For practical purposes, assumptions for the frame and its component members and joints models are made that permit obtaining a safe bound for the ultimate load. Hence models for global analysis range from the simple elastic analysis to the most complex elastoplastic analysis (in short plastic analysis) which can provide the real inelastic behaviour of the structure. The first important distinction that can be made between the methods of analysis is the one that separates elastic and plastic methods. Whilst elastic analysis can be used in all cases, plastic analysis is subjected to some restrictions (see Section 3.4). Another important distinction is between the methods which make allowance for and those which neglect the effects of the actual displaced configuration of the structure. They are referred to respectively as second-order theory and first-order theory based methods (see Section 3.2.2). The second-order theory can be adopted in all cases, while first-order theory may be used only when the displacement effects on the structural behaviour are negligible. In the following discussion of the methods of analysis, for clarity, reference will be restricted to two dimensional frames subject to in-plane loading and displacements.

46

Although only one load combination case is considered, it is understood that a number of load combination cases must be analysed. 3.2.2 S e c o n d - o r d e r effects As the displacements due to the external loads may modify the structural response and therefore the distribution of the internal forces and moments, it is necessary to evaluate the degree to which they are significant enough to merit allowance in the design. For frames, the external loads that cause the largest modifications to the linear response are the axial loads. Shown in Figure 3.2 is a fixed-base cantilever column subject to combined axial and horizontal loads applied at the top. The horizontal displacement at the top of the column as well as the column curvature lead to secondary moments.

Figure 3.2 First-order and second-order theory These moment modifications are made up of a local or member second-order effect, referred to as the Ρ-δ effect, and a global second-order effect, referred to as the Ρ-Δ effect. Local second-order effects arise in each element subject to axial force due to the member deflections relative to the chord line connecting the member ends. Global second-order effects arise throughout the frame due to relative horizontal displacements between the floors. In general, the Ρ-Δ effects, which only occur when sway is permitted, are greater than the Ρ-δ effects, which are significant for slender columns only. When the Ρ-Δ and the Ρ-δ effects are ignored, each structural element can be characterised by a linear stiffness matrix.

47

Account for the Ρ-δ effects is achieved by modifying the terms of the linear stiffness matrix so that they become functions of the factor ε = L^jp/El, where Ρ is the axial load in the member of length L and second moment of area /. The Ρ-Δ effects result in modifications of the end shear forces and moments; this fact is reflected by additions, corresponding to each of these components, to the member stiffness matrix.

3.3 Elastic global analysis 3.3.1 First-order theory 3.3.1.1

Assumptions, limitations, section/joint requirements

Elastic analysis implies an indefinite linear response of sections and joints (Figure 3.3). In a first-order analysis, equilibrium is expressed with reference to the non-deformed configuration of the structure.

Designers are quite familiar with first-order elastic analysis which is the simplest of all possible types of analysis. Over the years a variety of methods have been developed, which are suited to hand calculations (such as the slope-deflection method and the moment-distribution method). They can be generalised so as to

4X

include the joint behaviour. The same applies to procedures based on matrix formulation, which have now almost entirely supplanted the hand calculation methods, ever since computers became commonplace in design offices. A significant advantage of the first-order elastic analysis is that it permits one to apply the principle of superposition of loading and load effects (i.e. internal forces and moments and displacements).

Load parameter 1st order elastic analysis Linear member- and joint behaviour

Displacement parameter Figure 3.4 Load-displacement response: first-order elastic analysis 3.3.1.3 Frame design Once the design forces (axial force, bending moment and shear force) have been determined throughout the structure, the resistance (ultimate limit state) check of the cross-section members consists in verifying that the stress (force) in the critical section does not exceed the design stress (resistance). Since elastic analysis has been used, it would seem logical to consider the yield stress in the extreme fibres as the design stress for a member (Figure 3.5). It is however generally accepted that first-order elastic analysis can be used to determine the value Xu of the load multiplier corresponding to when the first plastic event takes place (onset of the first plastic hinge). Therefore, provided the sections meet the requirements for ductile behaviour (class 1 or 2), the section resistance may be checked using the plastic interaction formula. In the same way, the resistance (ultimate limit state) check of the joints consists in verifying that the design forces (bending moment and shear force) in the joint do not exceed the design resistance (moment resistance and shear resistance) of the joint. However, this assumes that the structure and its members remain stable. Therefore it is of major importance to investigate additionally the instability phenomena (in-plane and/or out-of-plane frame and/or member instability). Instability may indeed reduce the value of XL1. For the design to be adequate,

4lJ

the value of Xu must be at least unity (i.e. the structure can withstand at least the applied design loads). First-order elastic analysis provides a safe basis for design as long as the predicted response of the structure deviates only slightly from the actual response over a considerable range of loading (i.e. structures in which axial loads are low). For structures with heavier axial loads, Xu is not a lower bound of the maximum load because the second-order effects have been neglected. Load parameter / U /

The distribution of the internal forces and moments is now computed on the basis of a second-order theory of the kind outlined in 3.2.2. Equilibrium equations are formulated with reference to the deformed structure (Ρ-Δ effects) and the decrease in member stiffness due to axial force (Ρ-δ effects) may be included when necessary. As is the case of the first-order elastic analysis, sections and joints are not subordinated to any requirement related to their ability to exhibit ductile behaviour (class member, ductility class of joint). However one can no longer superimpose the results from the analysis of individual loading cases, as was possible for the first-order elastic analysis.

3.3.2.2 Frame analysis Figure 3.6 shows the load-displacement response that results from a secondorder elastic analysis in which all the loads are increased monotonously by the same load multiplier (proportional loading). The load-displacement curve, which now includes geometric non-linearity, approaches asymptotically a horizontal corresponding to a peak value of Xcr (critical multiplier). This value of Xcr corresponds to the elastic critical buckling load of the frame, relevant to the specified load case combination. If the Ρ-δ effects are neglected, then the computed peak load may be higher than the actual one. The more slender are the compression members the more significant the Ρ-δ effects become. The elastic critical buckling load is an important reference, as it is the highest theoretical load that the frame can experience in the absence of any material yielding. Yielding will reduce the actual maximum load that can be attained to a value often appreciably lower than the elastic critical buckling load.

The elastic critical buckling load of the frame may also be provided by a second-order elastic analysis but only if the load multiplier is increased

51

sufficiently. In practice the elastic critical buckling load is evaluated using an approximate procedure referred to in Section 7.1. With due attention being paid to these differences, the frame design may proceed in the same manner as for the first­order elastic analysis. The critically loaded section or joint permits one to obtain the upper limit value of the load multiplier value X¡_2 (Figure 3.7) for which the elastic analysis is valid. When second­order elastic analysis is used in calculating frames, the in­plane frame stability in terms of sway buckling is covered by the structural analysis. In most practical cases, the local member imperfections are not introduced and only planar behaviour is considered. Therefore the check against instability of members (in­plane and/or out­of­plane) and of the frame (out­of­plane) may indeed reduce the value of Χι2· For the design to be adequate, the value of XL2 must be at least unity. Resistance to concentrated loads may have to be checked for some members. As regards the serviceability limit state (permissible displacements and/or deflections), a first­order elastic analysis generally provides a good tool for predicting the response of the structure and of its elements.

1. The steel complies with the following specified requirements : • The ratio of the specified minimum tensile strength fu to the specified minimum yield strength fy satisfies : fu/fy*1.2 • The elongation at failure on a gauge length of 5.65^Α~0 (where A0 is the original cross-section area) is not less than 15%; • In a stress-strain diagram, the ultimate strain ευ corresponding to the ultimate strength fu is at least 20 times the yield strain ey corresponding to the yield strength fy. 2. Lateral restraint shall be provided at all plastic hinge locations at which plastic hinge rotation may occur under any load case. The restraint should be provided within a distance along the member from the theoretical plastic hinge location not exceeding half the depth of the member. 3. Sections and/or joints where plastic hinges are likely to occur have sufficient rotation capacity and are therefore of class 1 (see Section 5.2.2 of Chapter 5). 3.4.1 E l a s t i c - p e r f e c t l y plastic a n a l y s i s ( S e c o n d - o r d e r t h e o r y ) 3.4.1.1

In the elastic-perfectly plastic analysis, it is assumed that any section and/or joint remains elastic till the plastic moment resistance is reached at which point it becomes ideally plastic. Plastic deformations are assumed to be concentrated at the plastic hinge locations which are assumed to have an infinite rotational capacity. That the actual rotation capacity is sufficient to meet what is required is checked at a later stage. Figure 3.8 shows the elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour of a section and a joint. The influence of the axial force and/or the shear force on the plastic moment resistance of the sections may either be accounted for directly or be checked later at the design verification stage. The use of elastic-perfectly plastic analysis implies that some requirements concerning the structure and its component members and joints are met. These are needed in order to guarantee that sections and joints, at least at the locations at which the plastic hinges may form, have sufficient rotation capacity to permit all the plastic hinges to develop throughout the structure. The load-displacement curve of the frame can be determined. Computation of the plastic rotations of the plastic hinges may also be carried out so as to permit the check that the required rotation capacity is available. 3.4.1.2 Frame analysis and design The load is usually applied by increments. The following is a typical description of how the various steps of the analysis is performed. It assumes that a second-order analysis has been used. For clarity, it is also assumed that the plastic hinges form successively (one by one) without any reversal of the rotation in them, although it is recognised that two (or more) hinges can develop at the same time and that reversal does sometimes occur. An elastic second-order analysis is first performed and from it, the load at which the first plastic hinge forms in a section and/or in a joint is determined. The next analysis is made for further incremental loads for which the frame behaves differently due to the introduction of a hinge at the first plastic hinge (modified frame). It is recalled that a plastic hinge continues to permit rotation without any increase or reduction in its moment and, furthermore, it is assumed to have sufficient ductility to undergo the necessary rotation. The modified frame is said to be the deteriorated frame. The next plastic hinge is formed after further increase of the load level and the process is repeated until the failure mechanism is developed. A typical second-order elastic-perfectly plastic analysis is shown by the solid curve in Figure 3.9. Branch 1 corresponds to a fully elastic frame behaviour. This curve becomes asymptotic to the elastic buckling load of the frame only if infinite elastic behaviour is assumed. A first hinge is formed, and the frame now behaves under further load increments as if one hinge exists in it (branch 2) until the next hinge is developed. If unlimited elastic behaviour is assumed after the first hinge has formed, then branch 2 continues and becomes asymptotic to

54

the buckling load of the deteriorated frame, which is the frame with one hinge. The process is continued with the load being increased and the structure being progressively « deteriorated » up to the moment when it becomes unstable (formation of plastic mechanism or frame instability). The maximum load of the second-order elastic plastic analysis corresponds to this load level which is shown as the load multiplier XL=XL3 in Figure 3.9. Load parameter

Figure 3.9 Load-displacement response: second-order elastic-perfectly plastic analysis No additional design checks for the sections and the joints are required when the influence of the axial force and/or the shear force is accounted for in their behavioural model. As the rotations at the plastic hinges have been calculated, this permits one to check that the required rotation capacity is available there. When second-order theory is used in calculating frames, the in-plane frame stability is covered by the structural analysis. However, the out-of-plane stability of the frame and the members will have to be verified. Except when local member imperfections are taken into account, in-plane stability of the members will also have to be verified These checks may indeed reduce the value of XL3. For the design to be adequate, the value of λ ί 3 must be at least unity when applied to the factored loads. Resistance to concentrated loads may have to be checked for some members.

Assumptions, limitations, section/joint requirements

A better estimation of the maximum load than that provided by the elasticperfectly plastic analysis can be obtained by carrying out a second-order elastoplastic analysis. Yielding of members and joints is a progressive process and so the transition from elastic behaviour to plastic one is a gradual phenomenon. As the moment in the member cross-section continues to increase, the plastic zone extends partially along the member. This behaviour is considered by the plastic zone theory. Figure 3.10 shows the moment-rotation characteristics of section and joint which are adopted in this type of analysis. The ductility requirements for the sections and joints and the procedure for analysis and check of the frame are the same as those outlined in Section 3.4.1. Elasto-plastic

Assumptions, limitations, section/joint requirements

In this type of plastic analysis, the elastic strains in members, joints and foundations are disregarded, as they are small compared to plastic strains. Material strain-hardening is also ignored. In addition, plastic deformations are arbitrarily concentrated in sections and joints where plastic hinges are likely to occur. These sections and joints are assumed to have an infinite rotational capacity. Figure 3.11 shows the idealised rigid-plastic response of the sections and the joints which are adopted for the analysis. As a result, the values of the design moment resistance for sections and joints as well as the structural configuration and the loading are the only parameters that affect rigid-plastic analysis.

3.4.3.2 Frame analysis On the basis that the maximum loading a given structure can sustain corresponds to that for which collapse occurs (because a realistic plastic mechanism has been created), the analysis consists in identifying the governing plastic mechanism. The basic principle behind this method is that when the collapse load, i.e. the maximum load that the structure can sustain, is attained, the following three conditions are satisfied simultaneously: • Mechanism: there are a sufficient number of plastic hinges or real hinges (pinned joints) for the structure to form a kinematically admissible mechanism; • Equilibrium: the bending moment distribution throughout the structure is in equilibrium with the external loads and reactions; • Plasticity, the plastic moment resistances of the sections and joints are nowhere exceeded. The collapse load can be obtained by the direct application of the fundamental theorems of simple plastic design. These fundamental theorems are the lower bound and the upper bound theorems, also known as the static theorem and the kinematic theorem respectively. An approach suitable for the manual application of the upper bound theorem is summarised here. According to this theorem, for a given structure and loading, any assumed plastic collapse mechanism occurs at a value of the load multiplier configuration that is greater than or equal to the value of the collapse load multiplier. By examining the various possible mechanisms, one identifies the collapse mechanism for which the value of the load multiplier is least and which is both statically and plastically admissible. Figure 3.12 shows the elementary mechanisms 1 and 2 as well as the combined mechanism 3 for a simple portal frame. Any load-displacement response is represented by a horizontal line, the ordinate of which is the associated collapse load. In accordance with the upper bound theorem, the lowest load parameter, which is that for mechanism 3, shall be retained. The collapse load given by the rigid-plastic analysis for this structure and loading corresponds to the load level shown as the reference load multiplier XL4 in the figure. For most cases of simple rectangular frames, the by hand application of the rigid plastic concept is simple and straightforward. Pitched roof portal frames

can also be analysed using this approach. For multi-storey and/or multi-bay frames, the use of computers is usually required. Load parameter

Figure 3.12 Load-displacement response: rigid-plastic analysis 3.4.3.3 Frame design Additional design checks for sections and joints is required if the influence of the axial force and/or the shear force on the design moment resistance may not be negligible. As the rotations at the plastic hinges have been supposed infinite, these requirements must also be checked. The in-plane frame instability load should be assessed, with provision for interaction with plasticity (e.g. Merchant-Rankine estimate) when necessary. The out-of-plane frame stability will have to be verified as well as the in-plane and/or the out-of-plane member stability. These checks may indeed reduce the value of XL4. For the design to be adequate, the value of XL4 must be at least unity when applied to the factored loads.

5lJ

Resistance to concentrated loads may have to be checked for some members. The rigid-plastic analysis provides direct information in terms of the design frame resistance, but it does not provide any information on the displacements and rotations that have occurred. Therefore, it has usually to be complemented by an elastic analysis of the structure for the serviceability loading conditions.

CHAPTER 4

JOINT PROPERTIES AND MODELLING

4.1 Introduction and definitions Building frames consist of beams and columns, usually made of H or I shapes, that are assembled together by means of connections. These connections are between two beams, two columns, a beam and a column or a column and the foundation (Figure 4.1).

Figure 4.1 Different types of connections in a building frame A connection is defined as the set of the physical components which mechanically fasten the connected elements. One considers the connection to be concentrated at the location where the fastening action occurs, for instance at the beam end/column interface in a major axis beam-to-column joint. When the connection as well as the corresponding zone of interaction between the connected members are considered together, the wording joint is then used (Figure 4.2.a). Depending on the number of in-plane elements connected together, singlesided and double-sided joint configurations are defined (Figure 4.3). In a double-sided configuration (Figure 4.3.b), two joints - left and right - have to be considered (Figure 4.2.b.).

The definitions illustrated in Figure 4.2 are valid for other joint configurations and connection types.

Figure 4.2 Joints and connections As explained previously, the joints which are traditionally considered as rigid or pinned and are designed accordingly, possess, in reality, their own degree of flexibility resulting from the deformability of all the constitutive components. Section 4.2 is aimed at describing the main joint deformability sources. Section 4.3 provides information on how to model the joints in view of the frame analysis; this modelling depends on the level of joint flexibility. In Section 4.4, the way in which the shape of the non-linear joint deformability curves may be idealised is given. Section 4.5 refers to the component method as a general tool for the prediction of the main joint mechanical properties in bending. The concept of joint classification is introduced in Section 4.6. Finally, it is commented on the ductility classes of joints in Section 4.7.

4.2 Sources of joint deformability As said in Chapter 1, the rotational behaviour of the joints may affect the local and/or global structural response of the frames. In this section, the sources of rotational deformability are identified for beam­to­column joints, splices and column bases. It is worthwhile mentioning that the rotational stiffness, the joint resistance and the rotation capacity are likely to be affected by the shear force and/or the axial force acting in the joint. These shear and axial forces may obviously have contributions to the shear and axial deformability within the connections. However it is known that these contributions do not affect significantly the frame response; therefore, the shear and axial responses of the connection, in terms of rotational deformability, are neglected. 4.2.1 B e a m ­ t o ­ c o l u m n joints 4.2.1.1 Major axis joints In a major axis beam­to­column joint, different sources of deformability can be identified. For the particular case of a single­sided joint (Figure 4.4.a and Figure 4.5.a), these are: • The deformation of the connection. It includes the deformation of the connection elements : column flange, bolts, end­plate or angles,... and the load­introduction deformation of the column web resulting from the transverse shortening and elongation of the column web under the compressive and tensile forces F¿> acting on the column web. The couple of Fb forces are statically equivalent to the moment Mb at the beam end. These deformations result in a relative rotation φ0 between the beam and column axes; this rotation, which is equal to Qb - Qc (see Figure 4.4.a) is concentrated mainly along edge BC and provides a flexural deformability curve Mb - φο· • The shear deformation of the column web panel associated to the shear force Vwp acting in this panel. It leads to a relative rotation γ between the beam and column axes; this rotation makes it possible to establish a shear deformability curve Vwp-γ. The deformability curve of a connection may obviously be influenced by the axial and shear forces possibly acting in the connected beam. Similar definitions apply to double­sided joint configurations (Figure 4.4.b and Figure 4.5.b). For such configurations, two connections and a sheared web panel, forming two joints, must be considered. In short, the main sources of deformability which must be contemplated in a beam­to­column major axis joint are :

63

Single-sided joint configuration : - the connection deformability Μύ-φ0 characteristic; - the column web panel shear deformability l/^/characteristic. Double-sided joint configuration : - the left hand side connection deformability Μ^-φαι characteristic; - the right hand side connection deformability Μο2-φο2characteristic; - the column web panel shear deformability VVp-/characteristic.

Figure 4.4 Sources of joint deformability The deformability of the connection (connection elements + load-introduction) is only due to the couple of forces transferred by the flanges of the beam (equivalent to the beam end moment Mb). The shear deformability of the column web panel results from the combined action of these equal but opposite forces and of the shear forces in the column at the level of the beam flanges. Equilibrium equations of the web panel provide the shear force Vwp (see Figure 4.5 for the sign convention) : V

Figure 4.5 Loading of the web panel and the connections 4.2.1.2 Minor axis joints A similar distinction between web panel and connection shall also be made for a minor axis joint (Figure 4.6). The column web exhibits a so­called out­of­plane deformability while the connection deforms in bending as it does in a major axis joint. However no load­introduction deformability is involved.

In such joints, a shear deformation (see 4.2.1.1) and an out-of-plane deformation (see 4.2.1.2) of the column web develop coincidently.

The loading of the web panel appears therefore as the superimposition of the shear loading given by formulae (4.1) or (4.2) and the out-of-plane loading given by formula (4.3). The joint configuration of Figure 4.8 involves two beams only; configurations with three or four beams can also be met.

Figure 4.10 Deformation of a column splice In a column splice where the compressive force is predominant, the axial force affects in a significative way the mechanical properties of the joint, i.e. its rotational stiffness, its strength and its rotation capacity. The influence, on the global frame response, of the axial deformability of splices is however limited; therefore it is neglected. 4 . 2 . 3 B e a m - t o - b e a m joints The deformability of a beam-to-beam joint (Figure 4.11) is quite similar to the one of a minor axis beam-to-column joint; the loadings and the sources of deformability are similar to those expressed in 4.2.1.2 and can therefore be identified.

Figure 4.11 Deformation of a beam-to-beam joint

68

4.2.4 C o l u m n bases In a column base, two connection deformabilities need to be distinguished (Figure 4.12) : • the deformability of the connection between the column and the concrete foundation (column-to-concrete connection); • the deformability of the connection between the concrete foundation and the soil (concrete-to-soil connection). For the column-to-concrete connection, the bending behaviour is represented by a Mc - φ curve, the shape of which is influenced by the ratio of the bending moment to the axial load at the bottom of the column. For the connection between the concrete foundation and the soil, two basic deformability curves are identified: • a Nc-u curve which corresponds to the soil settlement due to the axial compressive force in the column; in contrast with the other types of joint, this deformability curve may have a significant effect on the frame behaviour; • a Mc - φ curve characterising the rotation of the concrete block in the soil. As for all the other joints described above, the deformability of the column base due to the shear force in the column may be neglected. The column-to-concrete connection and concrete-to-soil connection Μ0-φ characteristics are combined in order to derive the rotational stiffness at the bottom of the column and conduct the frame analysis and design accordingly. Similar deformability sources exist in column bases subjected to biaxial bending and axial force. The connection Μ0-φ characteristics are then defined respectively for both the major and the minor axes.

4.3 Joint modelling 4.3.1 General Joint behaviour affects the structural frame response and shall therefore be modelled, just like beams and columns are, for the frame analysis and design. Traditionally, the following types of joint modelling are considered : For rotational stiffness : • rigid • pinned

For resistance : · full-strength · partial-strength • pinned

When the joint rotational stiffness is of concern, the wording rigid means that no relative rotation occurs between the connected members whatever be the applied moment. The wording pinned postulates the existence of a perfect (i.e. frictionless) hinge between the members. In fact these definitions may be relaxed, as explained in Section 4.6 devoted to the joint classification. Indeed rather flexible but not fully pinned joints and rather stiff but not fully rigid joints may be considered as fairly pinned and fairly rigid respectively. The stiffness boundaries allowing one to classify joints as rigid or pinned are examined in Section 4.6. For what regards the joint resistance, a full-strength joint is stronger than the weaker of the connected members, what is in contrast with a partial-strength joint. In the daily practice, partial-strength joints are used whenever the joints are designed to transfer the internal forces and not to resist the full capacity of the connected members. A pinned joint transfers no moment. Related classification criteria are conceptually discussed in Section 4.6. Consideration of rotational stiffness and resistance joint properties leads to three significant joint modellings: • rigid/full-strength; • rigid/partial-strength; • pinned. However, as far as the joint rotational stiffness is considered, joints designed for economy may be neither rigid nor pinned but semi-rigid. There are thus new possibilities for joint modelling : • semi-rigid/full-strength; • semi-rigid/partial-strength. With a view to simplification, Eurocode 3 - Chapter 6 and Annex J account for these possibilities by introducing three joint models (Table 4.1) :

Table 4.1 Types of joint modelling The following meanings are given to these terms continuous: semi-continuous: simple:

the joint ensures a full rotational continuity between the connected members; the joint ensures only a partial rotational continuity between the connected members; the joint prevents from any rotational continuity between the connected members.

The interpretation to be given to these wordings depends on the type of frame analysis to be performed. In the case of an elastic global frame analysis, only the stiffness properties of the joint are relevant for the joint modelling. In the case of a rigid-plastic analysis, the main joint feature is the resistance. In all the other cases, both the stiffness and resistance properties govern the manner the joints shall be modelled. These possibilities are illustrated in Table 4.2.

4.3.2 M o d e l l i n g and sources of joint d e f o r m a b i l i t y The difference between the loading of the connection and that of the column web in a beam­to­column joint (see Section 4.2) requires, from a theoretical point of view, that account be taken separately of both deformability sources when designing a building frame. However doing so is only feasible when the frame is analysed by means of a sophisticated computer program which enables a separate modelling of both deformability sources. For most available softwares, the modelling of the joints has to be simplified by concentrating the sources of deformability into a single rotational spring located at the intersection of the axes of the connected members. 4 . 3 . 3 S i m p l i f i e d modelling a c c o r d i n g to Eurocode

For most applications, the separate modelling of the connection and of the web panel behaviour is neither useful nor feasible; therefore only the simplified modelling of the joint behaviour (see Section 4.3.2) will be considered in the present document. This idea is the one followed in the ENV 1993-1-1 experimental standard (Chapter 6 and Annex J). Table 4.3, excerpted from the revised Annex J, shows how to relate the simplified modelling of typical joints to the basic wordings used for the joint modelling: simple, semi­continuous and continuous.

4.3.4 C o n c e n t r a t i o n of the joint d e f o r m a b i l i t y For the daily practice a separate account of both the flexural behaviour of the connection and the shear (major axis beam-to-column joint) or out-of-plane behaviour of the column web panel (minor axis beam-to-column joint configurations or beam-to-beam configurations) is not feasible. This section is aimed at explaining how to concentrate the two deformabilities into a single flexural spring located at the intersection of the axes of the connected members. 4.3.4.1 Major axis beam-to-column joint configurations In a single-sided configuration, only one joint is concerned. The characteristic shear-rotation deformability curve of the column web panel (see Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.13.b) is first transformed into a Mb-y curve through the use of the transformation parameter β. This parameter, defined in Figure 4.14.a, relates the web panel shear force to the (load-introduction) compressive and tensile forces connection (see also formulae 4.1 and 4.2). The Mb-φ spring characteristic which represents the joint behaviour is shown in Figure 4.13.c; it is obtained by summing the contributions of rotation, from the connection (φ0) and from the shear panel (γ). The Mj-φ characteristic of the joint rotational spring located at the beam-to-column interaction is assumed to identify itself to the Mb-φ characteristic obtained as indicated in Figure 4.13.C.

Figure 4.14 Definition of the transformation parameter β In a doubie-sided configuration, two joints - the left one and the right one - are concerned. The derivation of their corresponding deformability curves is conducted similarly as in a single-sided configuration by using transformation parameters βι and β2 (Figure 4.14.b). Because the values of the β parameters can only be determined once the internal forces are known, their accurate determination requires an iterative process in the global analysis. For practical applications, such an iterative process is hardly acceptable provided safe β values be available. These values may be used a priori to model the joints and, on the basis of such joint modelling, the frame analysis may be performed safely in a non-iterative way. The recommended but approximate values of β, where β-ι is taken as equal to β2 for double-sided configurations, are given in Chapter 8. They vary from β = 0 (double-sided joint configuration with balanced moments in the beams) to β = 2 (double-sided joint configuration with equal but unbalanced moments in the beams). These two extreme cases are illustrated in Figure 4.15.

4.3.4.2 Minor axis beam­to­column joint configurations and beam­to­beam configurations Similar concepts as those developed in Section 4.3.4.1 are referred to for minor axis beam­to­column joint configurations and beam­to­beam configurations. The definition of the transformation parameter is somewhat different (see Figure 4.16). Approximate values of β (assuming β1 = β2) for these joint configurations are also given in Chapter 8.

4.4 Joint idealisation The non­linear behaviour of the isolated flexural spring which characterises the actual joint response does not lend itself towards everyday design practice. However the moment­rotation characteristic curve may be idealised without significant loss of accuracy. One of the most simple idealisations possible is the elastic­perfectly plastic one (Figure 4.17.a). This modelling has the advantage of being quite similar to that used traditionally for the modelling of member cross­sections subject to bending (Figure 4.17.b). The moment M¡,Rd that corresponds to the yield plateau is termed design moment resistance in Eurocode 3. It may be understood as the pseudo-plastic moment resistance of the joint. Strain­hardening effects and possible membrane effects are henceforth neglected; that explains the difference in Figure 4.17 between the actual Μ-φ characteristic and the yield plateau of the idealised one.

Two possibilities* are offered in Eurocode 3-(revised) Annex J: • Elastic verification of the joint resistance (Figure 4.18.a) : the constant stiffness is taken equal to the initial stiffness S/./n,·; at the end of the frame analysis, it shall be checked that the design moment MSd experienced by the joint is less than the maximum elastic joint moment resistance defined as 2/3 M¡,RC¡; • Plastic verification of the joint resistance (Figure 4.18.b) : the constant stiffness is taken equal to a fictitious stiffness, the value of which is intermediate between the initial stiffness and the secant stiffness relative to M¡,Rd; it is defined as Sj.in/η (values of η are given in Chapter 8). This idealisation is valid for MSd values less than or equal to Mj,Rd. Rigid-plastic idealisation fora rigid-plastic analysis (Figure 4.19). Only the design resistance M¡,Rd is needed. In order to allow the possible plastic hinges to form and rotate in the joint locations, it shall be checked that the joint has a sufficient rotation capacity. Mi

Again rotation capacity is required in joints where plastic hinges are likely to form and rotate.

A third possibility is expressed in Annex J. It leads to an iterative analysis procedure and is not of practical interest. It is therefore not presented here.

4.5 Joint characterisation 4.5.1 General An important step when designing a frame consists in the characterisation of the rotational response of the joints. Three main approaches may be followed : • experimental; • numerical; • analytical. The only practical one for the designer is the analytical approach. Analytical procedures enable a prediction of the joint response based on the knowledge of the mechanical and geometrical properties of the joint components.

78

In this section a general analytical procedure, termed component method, is introduced. It applies to any type of steel or composite joints, whatever the geometrical configuration, the type of loading (axial force and/or bending moment, ...) and the type of member sections. The method is used in Chapter 8 where the mechanical properties of joints subjected to bending moment and shear force are computed. 4 . 5 . 2 I n t r o d u c t i o n to the c o m p o n e n t m e t h o d A joint is generally considered as a whole and studied accordingly ; the originality of the component method is to consider any joint as a set of individual basic components. For the particular joint shown in Figure 4.4.a (joint with an extended end-plate connection subject to bending), the relevant components are the following : • • • • • • • •

column web in compression; beam flange and web in compression; column web in tension; column flange in bending; bolts in tension; end-plate in bending; beam web in tension; column web panel in shear.

Each of these basic components possesses its own strength and stiffness either in tension or in compression or in shear. The column web is subject to coincident compression, tension and shear. This coexistence of several components within the same joint element can obviously lead to stress interactions that are likely to decrease the resistance of the individual basic components. The application of the component method requires the following steps : a) identification of the active components in the joint being considered; b) evaluation of the stiffness and/or resistance characteristics for each individual basic component (specific characteristics - initial stiffness, design resistance, ... - or whole deformability curve) ; c) assembly of all the constituent components and evaluation of the stiffness and/or resistance characteristics of the whole joint (specific characteristics initial stiffness, design resistance, ... - or whole deformability curve). The assembly procedure consists in deriving the mechanical properties of the whole joint from those of all the individual constituent components. That requires a preliminary distribution of the forces acting on the joint into internal forces acting on the components in a way that satisfies equilibrium and respects the behaviour of the components.

7l)

In Eurocode 3 Annex J, the analytical assembly procedures are described for the evaluation of the initial stiffness and the design moment resistance of the joint; these two properties enable to build design joint moment-rotation characteristic whatever the type of analysis (Figure 4.18 to Figure 4.20). The application of the component method requires a sufficient knowledge of the behaviour of the basic components. Those covered by Eurocode 3 are listed in Table 4.4. The combination of these components allows one to cover a wide range of joint configurations, which should be largely sufficient to satisfy the needs of practitioners as far as beam-to-column joints and beam splices in bending are concerned. Examples of such joints are given in Figure 4.21. Some fields of application can also be contemplated : • Joints subject to bending moment (and shear) and axial force; • Column bases subject to coincident bending moment, shear force and axial force where the components such as : - concrete foundation in compression; - end-plates with specific geometries; - anchorages in tension; - contact between soil and foundation, will be activated. These situations are however not yet covered, or only partially covered, by Eurocode 3. Component

4.6 Joint Classification 4.6.1 General In Section 4.3, it is shown that the joints need to be modelled for the global frame analysis and that three different types of joint modelling are introduced : simple, semi-continuous and continuous. It has also been explained that the type of joint modelling to which it shall be referred is dependent both on the type of frame analysis and on the class of the joint in terms of stiffness and/or strength (Table 4.2). Classification criteria are used to define the stiffness class and the strength class to which the joint belongs and also to determine the type of joint modelling which shall be adopted for analysis. They are described in Section 4.6.2.

4.6.2 Classification based on mechanical joint properties 1 The stiffness classification is performed by comparing simply the design joint stiffness to two stiffness boundaries (Figure 4.22). For sake of simplicity, the stiffness boundaries have been derived so as to allow a direct comparison with the initial design joint stiffness, whatever the type of joint idealisation that is used afterwards in the analysis (Figure 4.18 and Figure 4.20). Mi

This classification is that given in Eurocode 3-(revised) Annex J. As this annex is not fully compatible with the questionable classification diagram proposed in Eurocode 3-Chapter 6.9, no information on the latter is given in the present manual.

The strength classification simply consists in comparing the joint design moment resistance to "full­strength" and "pinned" boundaries (Figure 4.23). M¡

Figure 4.23 Strength classification boundaries It is while stressing that a classification based on the experimental joint Μ-φ characteristics is not allowed, as design properties only are of concern. The stiffness and strength boundaries for the joint classification are given in Chapter 8.

4.7 Ductility classes 4.7.1 General concept Experience and proper detailing result in so­called pinned joints which exhibit a sufficient rotation capacity to sustain the rotations imposed on them. For moment resistant joints the concept of ductility classes is introduced to deal with the question of rotation capacity. For most of these structural joints, the shape of the Μ-φ characteristic is rather bi­linear (Figure 4.24.a). The initial slope S,,,n, corresponds to the elastic deformation of the joint. It is followed by a progressive yielding of the joint (of one or some of the constituent components) until the design moment resistance Mj,Rd is reached. Then a post­limit behaviour (Sj,p0st-iim) develops which corresponds to the onset of strain­hardening and possibly of membrane effects. The latter are especially important in components when rather thin plates are subject to transverse tensile forces as, for instance, in minor axis joints and in joints with columns made of rectangular hollow sections. In many experimental tests (Figure 4.24.a) the collapse of the joints at a peak moment M¡,u has practically never been reached because of high local deformations in the joints involving extremely high relative rotations. In the

S4

others (Figure 4.24.b) the collapse has involved an excessive yielding (rupture of the material) or, more often, the instability of one of the constituent components (ex : column web panel in compression or buckling of the beam flange and web in compression) or the brittle failure in the welds or in the bolts. In some joints, the premature collapse of one of the components prevents the development of a high moment resistance and high rotation. The post-limit range is rather limited and the bi-linear character of the Mj-φ response is less obvious to detect (Figure 4.24.c). As explained in Section 4.4, the actual Mj-φ curves are idealised before performing the global analysis. As for beam and column cross-sections, the usual concept of plastic hinge can be referred to for plastic global analysis.

Figure 4.24 Shape of joint Μ-φ characteristics The development of plastic hinges during the loading of the frame and the corresponding redistribution of internal forces in the frame require, from the joints where hinges are likely to occur, a sufficient rotation capacity. In other words, there must be a sufficiently long yield plateau φρ, (Figure 4.25) to allow the redistribution of internal forces to take place.

Figure 4.25 Plastic rotation capacity For beam and column sections, deemed­to­satisfy criteria allow one to determine the class of the sections and therefore the type of global frame analysis which can be contemplated (see Chapter 3). A strong similarity exists for what regards structural joints; moreover a similar classification may be referred to : • Class 1 joints : M¡,Rd is reached by full plastic redistribution of the internal forces within the joints and a sufficiently good rotation capacity is available to allow, without specific restrictions, a plastic frame analysis and design to be performed if required; • Class 2 joints : M¡,Rd is reached by full plastic redistribution of the internal forces within the joints but the rotation capacity is limited. An elastic frame analysis possibly combined with a plastic verification of the joints has to be performed. A plastic frame analysis is also allowed as long as it does not result in a too high required rotation capacity in the joints where hinges are likely to occur. The available and required rotation capacities have therefore to be compared before validating the analysis; • Class 3 joints : brittle failure (or instability) limits the moment resistance and does not allow a full redistribution of the internal forces in the joints. It is compulsory to perform an elastic verification of the joints unless it is shown than no hinge occurs in the joint locations. As the moment design resistance MjiRd is known whatever the collapse mode and the resistance level, no Class 4 has to be defined as for member sections. 4 . 7 . 2 R e q u i r e m e n t s for c l a s s e s of j o i n t s In Eurocode 3, the procedure given for the evaluation of the design moment resistance of any joint provides the designer with other information such as : • the collapse mode; • the state of stresses inside the joint at collapse.

86

Through this procedure, the designer knows directly whether the full plastic redistribution of the forces within the joint has been reached - the joint is then Class 1 or 2 - or not - the joint is then classified as Class 3. For Class 1 or 2 joints, the knowledge of the collapse mode, and more especially of the component leading to collapse, gives an indication about whether there is adequate rotation capacity for a global plastic analysis to be permitted. The related criteria are expressed in Chapter 8.

CHAPTER 5

FRAME AND ELEMENT DESIGN

5.1 Frames and their components 5.1.1 Introduction Global frame analysis is conducted based on assumptions made regarding the section and joint behaviour (elastic/plastic) and the geometric response (firstorder/second-order theory). Once the analysis is achieved, the design checks of all these frame components shall be performed. 5.1.2 F r a m e c o m p o n e n t s A frame is composed of members and joints (Figure 5.1).

Figure 5.1 Frame and their components A member is a structural element which is much longer than it is deep; a joint is an assembly of basic components which enable the sound transfer of internal forces from one member to another one. Member is a general wording; very often a member is designated by an appellation which reflects the kind of its loading : beam if bending predominates, beam-column if significant amounts of both bending and axial force are coincident and column if compressive force is dominant.

89

5.1.2.1

Beams

Most beams are designed to carry gravity loads which produce bending about the major principle axis of the cross-section only; this mono-axial bending is commonly called in-plane bending. Beams are typically the horizontal or slightly sloped members of a framed structure. Because of the unavoidable initial geometrical imperfections in the beam geometry and in the load transfer, some torsion will most often be present in the case of in-plane bending. If the beam is laterally supported in an efficient way, the torsional effects may usually be disregarded and in-plane bending is governing the design. In contrast, for a laterally unsupported beam, the out-ofplane deformations are magnified by an increase of the in-plane loading and the ultimate limit state refers then to lateral-torsional buckling when this occurs. Beams are made of rolled or of welded (built-up) sections. In the latter case, the wall components may be prone to local plate buckling because of their large slenderness. Local plate buckling may possibly interact with lateral-torsional buckling and precipitate the collapse of welded beams. When bending develops simultaneously about both principal axes of the beam cross-section, the beam is said subject to bi-axial bending. As for the in-plane bending case, some torsion is generally present. In addition, the effects of material yielding within the cross-section can accelerate the onset of the ultimate limit state. 5.1.2.2

Columns

Columns are also termed compression members. A short column, post or pedestal reaches its ultimate limit state when the resistance in compression of its cross-section is exhausted. A long or slender column fails by buckling in the elastic or elasto-plastic range. The ultimate buckling load of any column depends basically on the column slenderness. It is less than the squash load of the cross-section and than the elastic critical buckling load because of unavoidable member out-of-straightness, load eccentricities and residual stresses present in the cross-section, on the one hand, and of the elasto-plastic behaviour of the material, on the other hand. 5.1.2.3

Beam-columns

Members which support loads causing both significative bending and axial compression are called beam-columns. Such members are typically the vertical members of a framed structure. (In the current language, the vertical members of a frame are usually termed columns despite the fact they are most often subject to combined axial force and bending). Indeed they transfer gravity loads from the beams to the foundation and are subject to bending moments because of the full or partial continuity of the beam-to-column joints. Strictly speaking

90

most members of a frame are beam-columns; a beam represents the limit case where the axial force can be disregarded and a column the limit case where the bending moments are not significant. 5.1.2.4 Joints Because described extensively in Chapter 4, there is no need to comment anymore on the joints.

5.2 Classification of frames and their components 5.2.1 C l a s s i f i c a t i o n of f r a m e s 5.2.1.1 Braced and unbraced frames For a frame to be classified as a braced frame, it must possess a bracing system which is adequately stiff (Figure 5.3.a). Common bracing systems are trusses or shear walls (Figure 5.2) or even a concrete central core where stairs and lifts take place. Shear wall

Trusses

Figure 5.2 Common bracing systems When it is justified to classify the frame as braced, it is possible to analyse the frame and the bracing system separately as follows: • The frame without its bracing system resists all the vertical loads; • The bracing system resists all the horizontal loads. In the cases where there is either no bracing system or no stiff enough bracing system, the frame is said unbraced (Figure 5.3.b). The frame with possibly its bracing system is then the single structure to be analysed. In chapter 9, specific application rules are provided which enable to classify frames as braced or unbraced.

5.2.1.2 Sway and non-sway frames The wording non-sway f rame applies to a frame when its response to in-plane horizontal forces is sufficiently stiff for it to be acceptable to neglect any additional forces or moments arising from horizontal displacements of its storeys; that means that the global second-order effects may be neglected. When the later is not negligible, the frame is said sway. In Chapter 9, criteria are given which enable to classify frames as sway or nonsway.

a. Braced frame (may be sway if bracing is unduly flexible)

b. Unbraced frame (may be non-sway if it is insensitive to horizontal loads)

Figure 5.3 Braced and unbraced frame 5.2.2 C l a s s i f i c a t i o n of frame c o m p o n e n t s 5.2.2.1 Classification of member cross-sections Local buckling can be prevented by limiting appropriately the width-to-thickness ratio of the wall elements. These limits are given in Eurocode 3. The class of a cross-section is determined by the worst class of its wall components. Crosssections are classified as follows according to their behaviour in bending and/or compression. For member cross-sections subject to bending, there are 4 classes (Figure 5.4): • Class 1 : Plastic cross-sections. A plastic cross-section is able to develop the plastic moment resistance of the gross section (plastic hinge) and to exhibit a sufficiently large rotation capacity. • Class 2:

Compact cross-sections. A compact cross-section is able to develop the plastic moment resistance of the gross section but local buckling in the plastic

92

range limits significantly the rotation capacity once the plastic moment resistance is reached. • Class 3:

Semi-compact cross-section. A semi-compact cross-section is only able to develop the elastic moment resistance of the gross section because local buckling in the elasto-plastic range occurs before the plastic moment resistance is reached.

• Class 4:

Slender cross-section. Premature local plate buckling occurs before the elastic moment resistance is reached. The bending resistance of an appropriate effective cross-section shall be considered. M

Compact Class 2

Plastic Class 1

Non compact Class 3 Slender Class 4

Figure 5.4 Classification of the cross-section in bending Above concept of classes applies also to cross-sections subject to combined dominant bending and axial force. For member cross-sections subject to axial compression only, there are only two classes, according to the ability of the cross-section to reach or not its squash load. There is indeed no further need for some available rotation capacity. In general, the classification will depend on both the loading case - i.e. on the distribution of the direct stresses within the cross-section - and the loading plane.

93

5.2.2.2 Classification of joints according to ductility For joints a classification similar to the one used for member cross-sections may be introduced (Figure 5.5). There are three classes of joints: • Classi:

Ductile joints. A ductile joint is able to develop its plastic moment resistance and to exhibit a sufficiently large rotation capacity.

• Class 2 : Joints of intermediate ductility. A joint of intermediate ductility is able to develop its plastic moment resistance but exhibits only a limited rotation capacity once this resistance is reached. • Class 3 : Non ductile joints. Premature failure (due to instability or to brittle failure of one of the joint components) occurs within the joint before the moment resistance based on a full plastic redistribution of the internal forces is reached. M¡

5.3 Checking frame components 5.3.1 Resistance check of member cross-sections To which extent the check of the resistance of the member cross-sections is concerned depends upon the type of global frame analysis that has been performed. 5.3.1.1 Elastic global analysis A strictly elastic design would limit the carrying capacity of a frame to the onset of the very first yielding in the outer fibre(s) of any cross-section. That leads to an elastic resistance design check of the member cross-sections. However a less severe attitude is acceptable. While an elastic global analysis is performed, the internal forces and moments that are obtained accordingly can be checked against the resistance of the cross-sections by using the relevant plastic interaction formulae for section resistance. Doing so allows only for one plastic hinge (or more than one but occurring simultaneously) to form in the structure. That leads to a plastic resistance design check of the member crosssections. - Elastic resistance check The elastic distribution of the direct stresses σ in an l-section and a T-section subject to mono-axial bending is shown in Figure 5.6.

If the width-to-thickness ratio of any wall element is larger than the relevant limit for

95

class 3, then an elastic moment resistance based on the effective cross­section characteristics Mei,eff,Rd shall be used. Similar principles apply when bi­axial bending. Interaction with shear and/or axial forces shall be accounted for by referring to the equivalent stress deduced from the von Mises criterion. ­ Plastic resistance check The plastic distribution of the direct stresses in an l­section and a T­section subject to mono­axial bending is shown in Figure 5.7. Such a distribution is permitted when the section belongs either to class 1 or to class 2. ζ

Figure 5.7 Beams subject to plastic mono­axial bending As far as the interaction between bending moment and shear and/or axial force(s) is sufficiently small for it to be regarded as negligible, the design value of the bending moment Msd in each cross­section shall be less than or equal to the plastic moment resistance Mp¡,Rd of the cross­section. When the interaction between bending and shear and/or axial force(s) can no more be disregarded, a plastic interaction formula shall be used when checking the resistance of the cross­section. It will be done similarly when bi­axial bending. 5.3.1.2 Plastic global analysis When an elastic­perfectly plastic or a rigid­plastic global frame analysis is performed, the behaviour of the cross­sections is accounted for in the global analysis with the result of a redistribution of internal forces. For this purpose, the bending response of a cross­section is usually simplified as shown in Figure 5.8. Any cross­section where a plastic hinge is likely to occur shall be either a class 1 or a class 2 section. However when a class 2 section is used, the available rotation capacity must be checked to ensure that

96

it is sufficient to meet what is required by the formation of the relevant plastic mechanism.

An axially loaded column the cross-section of which is doubly symmetrical may collapse by in-plane buckling either by bending about the major axis of its cross-section or, more commonly, about the minor axis. When the crosssection is not doubly symmetrical, instability may occur by torsional-flexural buckling; this phenomenon is of major importance in thin-walled cold-formed compression members. Lateral-torsional buckling of a beam has much in common with the minor axis column buckling phenomenon due to the buckling of the compression part by bending about the minor axis of the section. This column buckling is however accompanied by torsional effects that are induced by the necessary continuity between both tensile and compressive parts of the cross-section. The greater the slenderness of the member about the minor axis, the smaller the lateraltorsional buckling resistance of the member.

It is usual to distinguish three slenderness ranges : • Small slenderness range, where the member slenderness is so small that the detrimental effects of imperfections is more than compensated by the strainhardening effects (the latter are generally not accounted for in the design rules), so that only yielding governs the resistance; • Large slenderness range, where the member slenderness is sufficiently large for the instability to occur in the elastic range with the result that only the imperfections affect the resistance; • Intermediate slenderness range, when the interaction between the detrimental effects of material yielding and member imperfections is the most pronounced, with the result of the largest drop in resistance compared to the ideal behaviour. Guidance on the design for buckling resistance of columns and beams is given in Eurocode 3. 5.3.2.2

Beam-column

The behaviour of a beam-column combines the respective behaviours of both a column and a beam. That results in a complex structural response for what regards instability. One can identify five cases according to the member unbraced length and the type of loading (see Table 5.1). 5.3.3 A d d i t i o n a l resistance c h e c k s In addition to cross-section checks (see Section 5.3.1) and member instability checks (see Section 5.3.2), the following checks shall be considered: • resistance of the web to shear buckling; • resistance of the web to transverse concentrated loads (patch loading). Eurocode 3 provides the information required for those additional checks. 5.3.4 R e s i s t a n c e check of joints The type of resistance checks to be carried out depends on the type of global analysis that has been performed.

similar idealisation is currently adopted for the member cross­sections. Any joint where a plastic hinge is likely to occur shall be either a class 1 or a class 2 joint. Shall this joint belong to class 2, then it shall be checked whether the available rotation capacity of the joint is at least equal to the rotation capacity required by the relevant plastic mechanism.

5.4 Modelling of joints 5.4.1 D e s i g n a s s u m p t i o n s Joint modelling requires a particular attention as joints are classified by strength, stiffness and ductility. The following table (Table 5.2) shows the different cases of joint modelling (simple, continuous and semi-continuous) as related to both the type of global analysis and the joint classification. 5.4.2 S i m p l e j o i n t s In a simple joint, the connection between the members may be assumed to be unable to develop any bending moment. The in-plane sway stability of a frame with simple joints only must be provided by the bracing system which shall resist all the horizontal loads. Vertical loads are resisted by both the frame and the bracing system. Such a frame is invariably designed as a non-sway frame, with the result that the distribution of internal forces and moments is not significantly affected by the sway displacements. GLOBAL ANALYSIS

Table 5.2 Type of joint model 5.4.3 C o n t i n u o u s j o i n t s In a frame with continuous joints, the joints ensure a full continuity between the connected members. The internal forces and moments can be determined either by an elastic or a plastic global analysis, with account being taken for second-order effects when necessary. 5.4.4 S e m i - c o n t i n u o u s joints In a frame with semi-continuous joints, only a partial continuity exists between the connected members. The internal forces and moments can be determined

102

by either an elastic or a plastic global analysis, with account being taken for second-order effects when necessary. As partial-strength and/or semi-rigid joints usually influence significantly the frame behaviour, the analysis of the frame shall account for the joint structural response (strength, stiffness).

5.5 Frame design procedure tasks At the preliminary design stage, the frame must be first defined. In particular, in addition to the structure layout and the member and joint sizing, the braced or unbraced character of the overall frame must be determined. The frame imperfections are taken as an initial out-of-plumb of the vertical members, i.e. by an initial sway of the storeys (Figure 5.13.a); how to assess these imperfections is described in Eurocode 3. For sake of easiness equivalent horizontal loads at the floor levels are generally substituted for the global frame imperfections; then the global analysis may still be conducted on the ideal frame, i.e. without out-of-plumb, but these equivalent loads must of course be superimposed to the other actions. The member imperfections are taken as geometrical imperfections (out-ofstraightness) and residual stresses. Usually residual stresses are not accounted for explicitly but converted into a magnification of the initial out-ofstraightness. Thus the member imperfection is normally represented by an equivalent initial out-of-straightness. These imperfections have sometimes, but rarely, to be taken into account by fitting the members with an appropriate initial camber (Figure 5.13.b) and conducting the global analysis accordingly.

103

At the next stage, an appropriate method of global analysis is chosen. Whereas a second-order analysis is always practicable, there are cases where a less sophisticated analysis provides the designer with a satisfactorily accurate distribution of internal forces : • A first-order analysis may be sufficient, without there being any need to account for second-order effects; • A first-order analysis may be performed, but its results need for some corrections because of significant second-order effects. To make this selection possible, the designer needs a mean to evaluate to which extent the sway displacements can modify the distribution of internal forces. That is measured by the elastic critical load parameter Xcr, i.e. the ratio between the vertical load resultant Vcr producing sway instability and the resultant Vsd of the design vertical loads applied onto the frame. If the value of this ratio is sufficiently large (non-sway frame), first-order analysis is adequate. If it is sufficiently small (sway frame), second-order analysis is required. However many structures are characterised by an intermediate value of the critical load parameter; then it is acceptable to conduct a first-order analysis provided that the first-order internal forces and moments are amplified appropriately to account for the second-order effects that have been fully disregarded by the global analysis. The designer will also have to opt for the use either of an elastic method of analysis or, when appropriate, of a plastic method of analysis. While an elastic global analysis is always permitted, the use of a plastic global analysis is subordinated to some requirements (see Section 5.5.2). When the design internal forces have been determined accordingly (first-order, second-order of first-order with amplification), the resistance and the stability of both the frame and its components have to be checked. The aim of Section 5.5.1 and Section 5.5.2 is to give guidelines for global elastic analysis and plastic analysis respectively. The question of the overall equilibrium of the frame in terms of uplifting, overturning and sliding is not addressed here. It can usually be verified without additional modelling of the structure. The support reactions provided by the global frame analysis shall be compared to the corresponding foundation support resistances. 5.5.1 Elastic global analysis and relevant d e s i g n c h e c k s To enable an elastic global analysis, the frame components (sections and joints) are not subordinated to any requirement related to their ability to exhibit ductile behaviour. Figure 5.14 summarizes the different possibilities of the elastic global analysis and the relevant checks with reference to Eurocode 3.

Figure 5.14 Elastic global analysis and relevant design checks (according to Eurocode 3) In Section 5.5.1.1 and Section 5.5.1.2 details are given on how to proceed when an elastic global analysis is used. Once the designer has opted for an elastic global analysis, he shall question about a first-order or a second-order theory for this analysis. 5.5.1.1 First-order analysis First-order elastic analysis with appropriate allowance for frame imperfections may be used to calculate the distribution of internal forces in a non-sway frame. The frame shall be analysed for various load combinations. A maximum error of 10% is expected on the values of both first-order sway and bending moments compared to those got from a second-order analysis. The resistance of the frame components (member sections and joints) and of the in-plane member stability, using the buckling lengths for the non-sway

I 05

mode, are checked. Separate design checks of the local resistance and of the out-of-plane stability of the members shall also be carried out. No further check of the in-plane global frame stability for sway buckling mode is required because of the non-sway character of the frame. A first-order analysis may also be used for sway frames provided some corrections be made to allow for the second-order effects (see Section 5.5.1.2). 5.5.1.2 Second-order analysis Second-order analysis with due allowance made for frame imperfections may be used in all cases. It is required when the frame is classified as sway. Eurocode 3 allows the procedures described hereafter. - General Method Second-order effects due to frame imperfections and sway displacements are explicitly accounted for in the method of global analysis. Second-order effects due to member imperfections and in-plane member deflections can also be taken into account when necessary. The resistance of the frame components (member sections and joints) and of the in-plane stability of each member, using buckling lengths for the non-sway buckling mode, are checked. The latter check is not necessary when member imperfections are considered prior to the global analysis. Separate design checks of the local resistance to concentrated forces and of the out-of-plane stability of the members shall also be carried out. No further check of the in-plane global frame stability for the sway buckling mode is required because it is already implicitly covered by the type of theory used for the global analysis. Alternatively, the approximate method known as the Equivalent Lateral Load procedure can be used. It consists in an iterative procedure, using the results of a standard first-order analysis, to include the sway frame effects. The same considerations as above still hold for the design checks of the frame. What is especially of concern in a sway frame is the determination of internal forces and moments which include second-order effects. It is thus more a problem of an appropriate assessment of these internal forces and moments than, strictly speaking, a question of theory used for the analysis. In this respect, the heading of present section could appear a bit ambiguous to the attentive reader. Therefore tricks have been imagined which enable the designer to make a realistic assessment of the design internal forces and moments without conducting a so-called second-order analysis properly. Of course the range of

106

application of such tricks is, as said previously, subordinated to some conditions. The basic philosophy of these alternative approaches is first to conduct a first-order analysis and second to introduce an estimate of the second-order effects. In this respect, Eurocode 3 allows for two simplified procedures : a) the so-called amplified sway moment method where second-order effects are accounted for by amplifying the loading side in the check expressions to be fulfilled; b) the so-called sway mode buckling length method where second-order effects are introduced both as a magnification of the loading side and as a penalty on the resistance side in the check expressions to be fulfilled. Let us comment a bit more on both procedures. - Amplified Sway Moment Method As an alternative to a second-order elastic analysis, the simplified method known as the Amplified Sway Moment Method may be adopted, provided that the distribution of the second-order bending moments shows approximate affinity to the one of the first-order bending moments; that is acceptably the case in structures exhibiting a low to moderate sway. The sway moments result from the horizontal applied loads and, if the frame and/or the vertical loading are asymmetrical, from the effects of the sway displacements. They can be obtained by proceeding as follows : 1. Perform a first-order elastic analysis of the frame under the whole loading with, in addition to the real supports, the floor levels restrained against horizontal displacement; 2. Determine the horizontal reactions at those horizontal restraints; 3. Perform a first-order elastic analysis of the real frame, i.e. where the horizontal restraints are removed, under the sole horizontal forces equal but opposite to the horizontal reactions found in above Step 1 ; 4. The sway moments are the moments obtained at the end of above Step 3. The moments to be used for further design checks are equal to the sum of : a) the moments obtained at Step 1 ; b) the sway moments obtained at Step 4 but magnified by an appropriate amplification factor. Of course, the amplification process described above for bending moments applies as well to shear and axial forces.

I07

The resistance of the frame components (sections and joints) and the out-ofplane stability of the beams, using the amplified moments, are then checked. The in-plane and the out-of-plane column stability, using the non-amplified moments (i.e. the sum of those obtained respectively at Steps 1 and 3), and the in-plane buckling length for the sway mode are then checked. Separate design checks of the local resistance of the members are carried out. According to Eurocode 3, the fulfilment of these checks is sufficient to guarantee the overall sway stability of the frame. - Sway Mode Buckling Length Method The simplified method known as the Sway Mode Buckling Length Method shall be adopted for structures either which exhibit a large sway or the sway sensitivity of which is unknown and uneasily predictable. The internal forces and moments are computed based on a first-order analysis; then the internal moments at the beam ends and joints are amplified by a nominal factor 1,2. Besides the resistance of the frame components (member sections and joints) and of the in-plane member stability, using the buckling lengths for the sway mode, are then checked. Separate design checks of the local resistance to concentrated loads and of the out-of-plane stability of the members shall also be carried out. According to Eurocode 3, the fulfilment of these checks is sufficient to guarantee the overall sway stability of the frame. 5.5.2 Plastic global analysis a n d relevant d e s i g n c h e c k s The use of a plastic global analysis is subordinated to the fulfilment of some requirements regarding the steel grades and the classes of cross-sections and joints. It is indeed necessary to ensure that the full plastic resistance of sections and joints can be reached and that sufficient rotations can develop at the locations where plastic hinges are likely to form. Figure 5.15 summarizes the different possibilities for performing a plastic global analysis and the relevant checks with reference to Eurocode 3. In Section 5.5.2.1 and Section 5.5.2.2 details are given on how to proceed when plastic global analysis is used. Once the designer is allowed to perform a plastic global analysis and has decided to do accordingly, he shall question about a first-order or a secondorder theory for this analysis.

Figure 5.15 Plastic analysis and relevant design checks (according to Eurocode 3) 5.5.2.1 First-order analysis First-order analysis (rigid-plastic analysis or elastic-perfectly plastic analysis) is especially appropriate for non-sway frames. Rigid-plastic analysis is also permitted for sway frames in specific cases only. The loads are assumed to increase in a proportional and monotonie manner. The plastic load parameter Xp, at which collapse occurs by the onset of a plastic hinge mechanism, must at least amounts unity. Checks of the resistance of the cross-sections and joints are required to account for the influence of axial and/or shear forces. As the first-order plastic method does not make allowance for any buckling in-plane and, out-of-plane phenomena in the members, these checks shall be carried out with due account taken of the presence of plastic hinges and of their effects on buckling lengths. Separate design checks of local resistance to concentrated forces shall also be performed.

109

No further check of the in-plane global frame stability for the sway buckling mode is required because of the non-sway character of the frame. First-order plastic analysis may also be applicable to sway frames under the reservation that some corrections be brought to the results to allow for secondorder effects (see the alternative methods to second-order plastic analysis described in Section 5.5.2.2.). 5.5.2.2 Second-order analysis Second-order analysis, with due allowance being made for frame imperfections is applicable in any circumstance. Second-order theory is especially required when the frame is classified as sway. Second-order effects due to global frame imperfections and sway displacements are necessarily included in the results of the global analysis. Second-order effects due to local member imperfections and in-plane member deflections can also be accounted for provided that the global analysis is conducted on the structure with initially deflected members. The influence of the axial and/or shear forces on the plastic moment resistance of the sections may also be reflected if the software proceeds appropriately. As the loads are assumed to be incremented proportionally, the plastic collapse load parameter Xu, which is the one at which collapse develops in the structure, due either to a plastic mechanism or to frame instability, must at least amount unity. Additional design checks for the cross-sections and joints are required only when the influence of the axial and/or shear forces has not yet been accounted for in the global analysis. As the rotations in the plastic hinges are results of the global analysis, a direct check of the rotation capacity is possible when necessary. The design checks of the members against in-plane buckling phenomena, using the buckling lengths for the non-sway mode and with due allowance for the presence of plastic hinges, shall be carried out except when the member imperfections have yet been introduced in the structure prior to its global analysis. Local resistance to concentrated forces may have to be checked in some members. In most cases where elastic-perfectly plastic global analysis is used, only the in-plane behaviour of members is considered. Therefore separate checks of the out-of-plane member stability shall be needed. No further check of the in-plane frame stability for the sway buckling mode is required, because it has been covered by the structural analysis. Similarly to what was said about second-order elastic global analysis (see Section 5.5.1.2), it is still possible to account for second-order effects by means of corrections to be brought to the results of a first-order plastic analysis. In this respect, two simplified approaches are available :

I IO

a) the Eurocode 3 approach (Simplified a1pproach) ; b) the so-called Merchant-Rankine approach. • Simplified second-order elastic-perfectly plastic analysis - Eurocode 3 Approach1 As an alternative to the general second-order elastic-perfectly plastic analysis, Eurocode 3 offers a simplified second-order method, which may be adopted for sway frames in specific cases (frames with low to moderate sway). In this approach, the collapse load parameter Xp is first computed based on a first-order rigid-plastic analysis. It is then reduced to take account of secondorder effects and must then have a value which is at least equal to unity. The internal forces and moments resulting from the rigid-plastic analysis are amplified to generate a consistent set of internal forces and moments which then include presumably second-order effects. Safety checks of the cross-section and joint resistance are required which account for the influence of axial and/or shear forces. Checks of the in-plane member stability, using the buckling lengths for the non-sway mode are carried out with allowance being made for the presence of plastic hinges. Separate design checks of the local resistance to concentrated loads and the out-ofplane stability member shall also be performed. According to Eurocode 3, these checks, when fulfilled, guarantee the overall sway stability of the frame.

6.2 Use of the fixity factor concept (traditional design approach) Another strategy for a preliminary design is the use of the so­called fixity factor f The fixity factor fis defined as the rotation φ0 of the beam end, due to a unit end moment applied at the same end, divided by the corresponding rotation , of the beam plus the joint. iE

For a truly pinned joint, /is equal to 0 while for a truly rigid joint, /amounts 1. To speed up the process of converging to a solution, the designer can decide to adopt a fixity factor between 0 and 1 and start the global frame analysis accordingly. Recommended values are 0.1 < f < 0.6 for braced frames and 0.7 < f < 0.9 for unbraced frames. Let us assume f = 0.5 for braced frames; then a joint stiffness of 3 EltJLb should be adopted in the global frame analysis. If f = 0.8 is used for unbraced frames, the corresponding value of the joint stiffness is 12 Elt/Lb. These respective values can be considered as a good guess in the design procedure of Figure 6.1. It shall be verified that this good guess is in reasonable agreement with the actual initial stiffness of the joints. For this verification, Table 6.2 can be used, but it merges to Table 6.3 if a fixity factor f = 0.5 for braced frames or f = 0.8 for unbraced frames is adopted.

6.3 Design of non­sway frames with rigid­plastic global frame analysis The strategy described above focuses on the joint stiffness only and therefore suits especially for elastic global frame analysis. When plastic design is used ­ the latter is especially appropriate to braced non­sway frames­, the resistance of the joints is governing the global frame analysis too.

(b) Distribution of the internal forces at the beginning of the loading

Figure 8­A.10 Joint with a thin end­plate In Eurocode 3-(revised) Annex J, it is assumed that the upper bolt­row will reach its design resistance first. This assumption is quite justified in the particular case being considered but is probably less justified for other connection types such as for end­plate connections with an extended part in the tension zone where it is usual that the second bolt­row ­ that just below the flange in tension ­ reaches its design resistance first. The design resistance of the upper bolt­row may be associated to one of the following components : the bolts only, the end­plate only, the bolts­plate assembly or the beam web in tension. If its failure mode is ductile, a redistribution between the bolt­rows can take place : as soon as the upper bolt­ row reaches its design resistance, the supplementary bending moments applied

to the joint are carried by the lower bolt­rows (the second, then the third, etc.) which, each one in their turn, may reach their own design resistance. The failure may occur in three different ways : i. The plastic redistribution of the internal forces extends to all bolt­rows when they have sufficient deformation capacity. The redistribution is said to be "complete" and the resulting distribution of internal forces is called "plastic". The design moment resistance MRd is expressed as (Figure 8­A.11) M Rd

The plastic forces FRdj vary from one bolt­row to another according to the failure modes (bolts, plate, bolt­plate assembly, beam web, ...).

The design moment resistance MRd is, as for the beam splices, likely to be limited by the resistance of : • the end­plate in bending, • the bolts in tension, • the beam web in tension, • the beam flange and web in compression,

but also by that of : • the column web in tension, • the column flange in bending. • the column web in compression; • the column web panel in shear. In Eurocode 3-(revised) Annex J, evaluation formulae are provided for each of these components. Annex J also presents a full example showing how to distribute the internal forces in a beam-to-column joint with a "multi-bolt-rows" end-plate connection. This example also highlights the concept of individual and group yield mechanisms. When adjacent bolt-rows are subjected to tension forces, various yieid mechanisms are likely to form in the connected plates (end-plate or column flange). • individual mechanisms (see Figure 3-A.13.a) which develop when the distance between the bolt-rows are sufficiently large; • group mechanisms (see Figure 3-A.13.b) including more than one adjacent bolt rows. To each of these mechanisms are associated specific design resistances. When distributing the internal forces, Eurocode 3 recommends never to transfer in a given bolt-row : • a higher load than that which can be carried when it is assumed that the considered bolt-row is the only one able to transfer tensile forces (individual resistance); • a load such that the resistance of the whole group to which the bolt-row belongs is exceeded.

Stiffness and resistance properties of joints with haunched beams

Available tools The four design tools for characterisation described in Sheet 8-1 are available for joints with haunched beams. The three first ones require slight modifications which are expressed in the following paragraphs. Cases covered by the present annex are those where the haunch is not only constituted by a single triangular plate (Figure 8-B.1.a) but possesses a web and a flange (Figure 8-B.1.b). Usually the haunch, as a whole, is extracted from a profile similar to that used for the beam itself.

Figure 8­B.4 Beam web in compression The assembly of the components for the evaluation of the joint stiffness and resistance properties is achieved according to the procedure described in Annex 8­A, the component « beam flange and web in compression » being simply replaced by the component « haunch flange in compression ». Further to the evaluation of the joint properties, the resistance of the « beam web in compression » is checked under the bending moment acting in the beam cross­ section at the root of the haunch.

In practical applications, it is recommended not to associate the failure of the whole joint to that of the haunch flange in compression or beam web in compression.

Characterisation using design sheets The simplified design sheets (see Sheet 8-1.B) for end-plated joints presented in Volume 2 may be extended to similar joints with haunched beams. The modifications to be brought are commented here below. Stiffness calculation • Replace the component « beam web in compression » by the « haunch flange in compression » one. • Replace the lever arm h by h* (Figure 8-B.5). • Follow the procedure indicated in the sheets. Resistance calculation • Replace the component « beam flange and web in compression » by the « haunch flange in compression » one. • Replace the lever arm h by h* (Figure 8-B.5). • Follow the procedure indicated in the sheets. • Check the resistance of the component indicated here above.

This approach is correct as far as the failure mode indicated in the design tables is not « beam flange and web in compression » (BFC in the design tables). If it occurs - the number of such cases is rather limited - MRd represents a conservative assessment of the actual design resistance. If a less conservative value is required, the use of one of the three other available characterisation tools is then recommended. The shear resistance and the reference lengths given in the design tables have to be evaluated according to the guidelines provided in Volume 2, Chapter 1. Finally the resistance of the « beam web in compression » has to be checked as explained in the Section of the present annex devoted to Eurocode 3(revised) Annex J.

: ASSESSMENT OF THE ELASTIC BUCKLING CRITICAL LOAD IN THE SWAY MODE

9-A.1 Eurocode 3 procedure For plane frames in used in building structures, with beams connecting the columns at each storey level, the elastic critical buckling load for the sway buckling mode may be calculated according to the following procedure : A first order elastic analysis is conducted for the given load combination case. The horizontal displacements due to the design loads (both horizontal and vertical ones) is determined at each storey. The elastic critical load of the frame for the sway buckling mode may be estimated by : ^

= Max

hH

where i

designation of the ith storey;

VSd

design value of the resultant of the vertical loads;

Vcr

elastic critical load for the sway buckling mode;

δ

horizontal displacement at the top of the storey, relative to the bottom of the same storey;

h

storey height;

H

total horizontal reaction at the bottom of the storey;

ν

total vertical reaction at the bottom of storey.

9-A.2 Approximate procedure A multi-storey multi-bay frame with semi-rigid joints can be replaced by an equivalent substitute single bay frame having rigid joints and columns and beams fitted with appropriate equivalent stiffnesses (Figure 9-A.1 (a)-(b). It is assumed that the columns behave elastically and are continuous over their whole height. Accordingly the stiffness of the column at each storey is obtained as follows :

-

where Kc ■ is the stiffness coefficient of the column j, i.e.

For a beam in which the joint stiffnesses are not the same at both ends, either the lowest joint stiffness is used (conservative) or an assessment has to be made in order to get an appropriate single value for the individual equivalent beam stiffness.

Since the so­called substitute frame has rigid joints, the associated Grinter frame can then be derived (Figure 9­A.1(b)­(c)). The stiffness of the members in the Grinter frame are : K'b=3^Kb,eqUii

191

1. The elastic critical load of each column, Vcr ,is computed on the basis of the buckling length for the non sway buckling mode but taking the end restraints into account ( see Eurocode 3- Annex E). Each column of the Grinter frame is thus characterised by a value of Vcr. The lowest of all these values, i.e. V'crmjn , is selected as being a safe lower bound for the elastic critical load of the whole Grinter frame and thus of the whole actual frame.

9-B.1 First order theory 9-B. 1.1 Displacement method This method, which has been the subject of many publications, is explained here very concisely. The displacement method states that the forces lo\

applied to the nodes of

the structure consist of those associated with the nodal displacement {D},i.e. [K]{D], and those due to the loads acting on the members fitted with fixed ends, i.e. {Q}. This is expressed by the following matrix equilibrium

equation: {Q}={K){D} + {Q} The structure stiffness matrix [K], which is a square matrix of an order equal to the number of degrees of freedom of the structure, is assembled from the stiffness matrix [/c'] of the individual members. For a first order elastic analysis, this matrix does not include coefficients which would account for relative rotations at the beam ends and for changes in the column flexural stiffness due to axial loads. Above matrix equation is solved for the unknown displacements {D}, which are then used to determine the forces acting on each individual member. Softwares based on the displacement method constitute the mainstay of structural analysis in modern design office practice. Many of these programs are suited for rigid frame analysis only, since they do generally not permit joint flexibility as far as appropriate modifications are not introduced in the terms of the stiffness matrix. In the following section, some straightforward modifications are outlined which would enhance considerably the analytical capabilities of many existing tools for global plane frame analysis. 9-B.1.2 Element stiffness The stiffness of a beam element is obtained as: 1

9­B.1.4 Slope deflection method The basic equations of the slope­deflection method give the end moments in a member as the superimposition of the end moments due to external loads on the member with its ends restrained, on the one hand, and of the moments caused by the actual end displacements and rotations, on the other hand. A set of simultaneous equations is written, that express the equilibrium of the joints, in which the end moments are expressed in terms of the joint displacements and rotations. The solution of these equations gives the unknown joint displacements and rotations. Substituting the latter into the original slope­deflection equations provides the designer with the end moments in the members. The slope deflection method is in fact an application of the more general stiffness method, in which the effects of axial and shear strain energy are neglected compared to the bending strain energy. This simplification is usually justified when analysing frames. Figure 9­B.1 shows the symbols adopted as well as the assumptions for the positive sign of moments and shear forces.

requires the definition of the semi­fixed­end moments (Figure 9­B.3, Figure 9­ B.4 and Table 9­B.2). The relaxation procedure is identical to that for frames with rigid joints.

9­B.2 Second order theory 9­B.2.1 Equivalent lateral load procedure The Equivalent lateral load procedure consists in an iterative procedure, using the results of a standard first order analysis, to include the sway displacement effects. The initial step in the modification is to compute the sway forces. The lateral and vertical loads are applied to the system, and the lateral displacements, denoted as Δ, in Figure 9­B.5 (a), are computed by first order theory. The storey level is denoted by /'. The additional storey shears due to the vertical loads are computed by :

Κ'=^-(Δ, +1 -Δ,) in which : V'¡

additional shear in storey / due the sway forces;

V P¡

sum of the column axial loads in storey;



height of storey /;

Δ,.+1, Δ,

displacements of levels /'+1 and /' respectively.

The sway forces due to the vertical loads H\ are then computed as the difference between the additional storey shears at each level, i.e.: H;

= v'1-1 ­ v;

The sway forces /­/,' are added to the applied lateral loads, and the structure is re­analysed using the first order theory. When the Δ, values at the end of cycle are nearly equal to the previous cycle, the method has sufficiently converged. If it does not converge within five or six trials, it can be concluded that the structure is unstable. Once convergence is established, the resulting forces or moments in every member now include the Ρ-Δ effects. The method is summarised in Figure 9­B.5.(b).

199

9-B.2.2 Slope-deflection method Only the equation for the equilibrium of translation at each storey need to be modified in order to account for global second order effects. This equation is transformed by means of the following one:

^Σ(Μ, β +Μβ.)-ψ,]>> = Σ " - Σ η Η **/

where ^V

/

/

i

i

is the sum of the vertical components of all the loads acting on the

frame above the plane (aa) as shown in Figure 9-B.6. Setting up the equation is not any more difficult than for the usual application of the slope deflection equations, and the solving procedure is precisely the same. One obtains the system of equations which is linear in terms of the joint rotations θ and in terms of sway angles ψ . Solving the former system immediately provides the values of the joint rotations θ, the sway angles ψ, and the bending moments, including the global second order effects.

CHAPTER 10 WORKED EXAMPLE 1 DESIGN OF A BRACED FRAME

10.1 Frame geometry and loading Figure 10.1 shows a non-sway braced frame. The frame consists of two storeys and two bays. The beam span is 7,2 m. The height from column foot to the beam at floor level is 4,5 m, the height from floor to roof is 4,2 m. It is assumed that the column foot is pinned to the foundation.

Table 10.1 Governing load case The steel grade chosen for beams, columns and joints is S235, with fv = 235 N/ mm2. The following partial safety factors for strength have been adopted during the design : >Mo= 1,1; }fvii = 1,1; >fvib = 1,25. The columns are HEA sections. They are fully supported against lateral torsional buckling. The columns are continuous from column foot to roof. They are supported against out-of-plane movement at foot, floor and roof levels. Beams are IPE sections. The beams are supported against lateral torsional buckling; they have no initial camber. All the sections are fulfilling the requirements for Class 1 sections.

10.2 Objectives and design steps In this example, the beams, columns and joints will be designed. For this, three solutions will be studied : •

Frame design with pinned joints;



Frame design with semi-rigid joints;



Frame design with partial-strength joints.

One starts with the design of a simple frame with pinned joints (Section 10.3). Then, one introduces joints having a certain rotational stiffness and moment resistance; this allows probably lower beam sizes. To see whether this expectation is confirmed, an elastic analysis (Section 10.4) and a plastic analysis (Section 10.5) have been respectively carried out.

206

10.3 Frame design with pinned joints 10.3.1 Introduction Frame design with pinned joints is typical when the members are designed by an engineer and the joints in a subsequent step by the steel fabricator. The steps described in Sections 10.3.2 to 10.3.4.2 are normally performed by the engineer; the step described in Section 10.3.5 is the task of the steel fabricator (refer to Chapters 2 and 6 for more explanation in this respect). 10.3.2 P r e l i m i n a r y design of b e a m s and c o l u m n s The following sizes for beams and columns are chosen : • F loor beams :

1 0 . 3 . 4 . 2 U l t i m a t e limit s t a t e To reduce the volume of the worked example, the check of the ultimate limit state is limited to the following aspects : •

Column stability;



Cross­sectional checks of beams and columns.

10.3.4.2.1 Column stability In accordance with Eurocode 3-Clause 5.5.1.1, the criterion to be fulfilled is : A/sd < χ ßk A /y / wn where : Λ/sd

The value of χ depends on the reduced slenderness of the columns :

Because the beam sections are Class 1, a plastic verification is permitted : MSd < Mc.Rd = IrVpl fy I }^0 where Wp\ is the plastic section modulus. Floor beam : 525.10 6 Nmm < 2780.10 3 · 235 /1,1 = 593.10 6 Nmm. Roof beam : 350.10 6 Nmm < 1702.10 3 · 235 /1,1 = 364.10 6 Nmm,. => Satisfactory. 10.3.4.2.3 Section check of the columns The section check of the columns is covered by the buckling check carried out in Section 10.3.4.2.1.

10.3.5 D e s i g n of joints Joints may be designed as simple joints, e.g. •

Web cleated joints;



Fin plate joints;



Flexible end­plate joints (thin end­plates only welded to the web of the beam).

These types of connections need to be designed for shear force only. Detailing should be such that the rules of Eurocode 3-Chapter 6 are satisfied.

10.4 Frame design with semi­rigid joints 10.4.1 Introduction In this chapter, just like in Section 10.3, the members can be designed by the engineer and the joints by the steel fabricator. During member design (Sections 10.4.2 to 10.4.5), the effect of the joints on the frame behaviour is taken into account by assuming that the engineer makes a good assessment of the mechanical properties of the joints. In the subsequent step of the joint design (Section 10.4.6), the steel fabricator needs to ensure that the mechanical properties of the joints are close enough to the assumptions made by the engineer (See also Chapters 2 and 6 for more explanations). 10.4.2 P r e l i m i n a r y design of b e a m s , c o l u m n s and j o i n t s Column sizes will be chosen as found in Section 10.3. However, we will try to save on the beam sizes. Therefore, beams are chosen one section size lower than in the case of the frame with pinned joints : • Floor beams :

IPE 500

• Roof beams :

IPE 400

• Outer columns :

HE 200 A

• Inner column :

HE 240 A.

For the joints, extended end­plate connections will be contemplated. A first assessment of the initial stiffness of these joints is made using the following formula : S

Table 10.3 Approximate initial joint stiffness 10.4.3 F r a m e a n a l y s i s In this case, a first order linear frame analysis is carried out. In accordance with Eurocode 3-(revised) Annex J, half of the initial stiffness of the joint is introduced in the frame analysis at the ultimate limit state. Since serviceability limit state is not governing the design of the frame, the same value of the joint stiffness has been used for this limit state. In this worked example, it is assumed that the available frame analysis software cannot reflect the stiffness of the joint by means of a spring element. For this reason, the stiffness of the joint is modelled with a short beam element. The second moment of area of this element is (See Figure 10.2) : lj =

This was unsuccessful because extended end­plate joints possess insufficient strength to transfer the bending moments got from the frame analysis. Therefore, haunched connections have been chosen, see Figure 10.4. This type of connection has the advantage that column web stiffeners can be avoided whilst the web remains free for erection of beams out of the plane of the frame. All the end­plates have been chosen 20 mm thick. Bolts are M20 8.8. All the connections have four bolt­rows.

10.5 Frame design with partial-strength joints 10.5.1 Introduction In this application, the theory of plasticity is used. The latter can lead to economical results, as it is shown in the following.

M4

In contrast to the design procedures given in Sections 10.3 and 10.4, both member and joint designs are preferably performed by one single party, e.g. the steel fabricator. The reason for this is as follows : when using plastic design joints, properties need to be determined at an early stage of the design procedure and be included in the frame analysis. This is in contrast with the previous applications, where it was possible first to design beams and columns and then, in a second step, to design the joints. 10.5.2 P r e l i m i n a r y design of b e a m s and c o l u m n s The same beam and column sizes as in Section 10.4 will be used : • Floor beams :

• Roof beams :

• Outer columns :

• Inner column :

10.5.3 D e s i g n of the joints In a first step, flush end-plate joints will be contemplated. All the flush endplates have been chosen 12 mm thick. Bolts are Μ20 grade 8.8. In all the joints, four bolt rows have been used. Figure 10.5 shows the geometry of the flush end- plates. The joint properties were computed by means of the DESIMAN software; they are listed in Table 10.8. The governing failure mode of the joints is related to the bending of the endplate. So a sufficient rotation capacity is available and a plastic design is permitted. Joint

10.6 Conclusions This worked example showed that semi-rigid / partial-strength concept, as given in Chapter 6.3 can be applied to braced frames in a straightforward manner. Based on the design of a simple frame with pinned joints, the beam and column sizes can be derived. General rules for economic design are : • The columns in the frame with semi-rigid / partial-strength joints are identical to those used in the frame with simple (pinned) joints; • The beam sizes are one section lower. Calculations to the frames with semi rigid / partial strength joints showed that a plastic frame analysis with partial strength joints normally leads to simpler joints then elastic frame analysis. The three possibilities are summarised in Table 10.9 :

The frame is 19.5 m wide, each span being 6.5 m; its total height is 10.5 m, each storey being 3.5 m high. The spacing of the frames is 10 m. The structure is assumed to be braced out of its plane and to be unbraced in its plane. In the longitudinal direction of the building, i.e. in the direction perpendicular to the frame plane, a bracing does exist so that the top of the columns is held in place. The lateral support for the floor beams are provided by the floor slabs. The bases of the columns (foundation level) are assumed to be nominally pinned. The total height of the building is less than the maximum length allowed for transportation (about 12 m); therefore, it was decided to use continuous columns throughout the total height of the building. For the members, use is made of standard hot rolled sections. Members, end-plates and stiffeners are made of S235 steel, according to EN 10025. Bolts are property class 10.9, according to EN 20898-1 and EN 20898-2. 11.1.2

The basic load cases are combined at the serviceability limit state as summarised in Table 11.3. The requirements on the frame displacements at the serviceability limit state are as follows for a multi-storey building (Eurocode 3 - 4.2.2 (1) and (4)) : The allowable horizontal deflection in each storey is : h/300 = 3500/300 = 11.7 mm. The allowable horizontal deflection of the structure as a whole is : ho/500 = 10500/500 = 21 mm. The allowable vertical deflection of the floor beams is : L/250 = 6500/250 = 26 mm. The allowable vertical deflection of the roof beam shall is : L/200 = 6500/200 = 32.5 mm.

11.1.3 Partial safety factors on resistance For this worked example, the values of the partial safety factors on resistance are adopted as follows : yM0 = 1.0

for the resistance of cross-sections;

γΜ1 = 1.10

for the buckling resistance of members;

yMb = 1.25

for the resistance of bolts;

yMw = 1.25

for the resistance of welds.

(The value of yM0 = 1.0 is permitted in France provided that the steel material bears the quality mark NF).

11.2

Objectives

The objective is to aim at joint economy. It is assumed that there is an interaction between the two respective tasks of frame design and joint design. The use of unstiffened joints, which may consequently become semi-rigid, is a priori considered as the principal means of obtaining this economy. To provide a basis for evaluating the effect on costs, the frame with rigid joints shall be compared to the frame with semi-rigid joints. Elastic global analysis is used to compute the internal forces and moments.

2 32

For the frame with rigid joints, it is only reported on the column and beam sizes and on the connection detailing. For the frame with semi-rigid joints, the detailed calculations of the members are given in addition. 11.3 Frame with rigid joints 11.3.1 A s s u m p t i o n s and global analysis All the beam-to-column joints were assumed to be perfectly rigid. A linear elastic analysis was carried out for each load case. 11.3.2 M e m b e r sizes The member sizes were first determined based on a preliminary design; their validity was confirmed a posteriori on base of detailed calculations conducted at the end of the global analysis for the various load combination cases. The member sizes obtained accordingly are (Figure 11.3) : Inner columns :

11.4.4 S t r u c t u r a l analysis A linear elastic analysis is conducted for both the ultimate and serviceability limit states. For this purpose, the joints are characterised by their nominal stiffness J j, in/2.

For the sake of simplicity, the mechanical properties of all the joints are computed based on a single value /3=1 of the transformation parameter. It is recalled that the transformation parameter accounts for the influence of the flexibility of the column web panel on both the design moment resistance and rotational stiffness of the joints; therefore, the actual value of β at each joint depends on the actual moments and shear forces relative to each load combination case. Assuming /3=1 for all the joints of the frame and for all the load combination cases results in a significant simplification in the global analysis and in a slight underestimation of both the strength and stiffness of these joints. 11.4.5 D e s i g n c h e c k s of the f r a m e with s e m i - r i g i d j o i n t s 11.4.5.1 Serviceability limit state At the serviceability limit state : The maximum horizontal deflection of all the storeys is 11.9 mm.

11.5 Conclusion Clearly the unbraced frame can get a substantial advantage from the semi-rigid concept. Though the semi-rigidity of the joints requires an increase in the member sizes, because drifts and deflections would be larger than in the solution with rigid joints, significant cost savings may be expected from the use of much less expensive (unstiffened) joints. Eurocode 3 permits the use of the semi-rigid design procedure. This implementation, compared to most previous standards, has been hampered up to now by the lack of appropriate methods of global analysis and design tools. The latter are now becoming readily available and their use in the daily practice is therefore a matter of technology transfer and further code recognition.

CHAPTER 12

WORKED EXAMPLE 3 DESIGN OF AN INDUSTRIAL TYPE BUILDING

12.1 Frame geometry The skeletal structure of a two bay pinned-base pitched portal frame with haunches for an industrial building is shown in Figure 12.1. I

Height :

Length :

60,5 m

The portal frames, which are at 6,0 m intervals, have pinned-base 8 m high columns at centrelines of 23,5 m and have rafters sloped at 7,7° with a centreline ridge height of 9,5 m above ground level. Haunches are used for the joints of the rafters to the columns.

12.2 Objectives and design strategy The principal objective is to aim at global economy, without increasing the design effort in any significant manner. A traditional approach to the design of the structure including the joints is adopted initially.

251

The traditional approach (see Chapter 2) is taken here to describe when the design of the joints is carried out once the global analysis and the design of the members have been accomplished. With such a separation of the task of designing the joints from those of analysing the structure and designing the structural members, it is possible that they are carried out by different people who may either be within the same company or, in some cases, may be part of another company. It has been usual for designers to put web stiffeners in the columns so as to justify the usual assumption that the rafter-to-column joints are rigid. It is recognised that eliminating these stiffeners simplifies the joint detailing and reduces fabrication costs. Although the removal of the stiffeners may have an impact on the member sizes required, in particular those of the columns, this is not always the case. Therefore, the strategy chosen here is to assume that economy can be achieved by the elimination of the web stiffeners in the columns. For the chosen structure, it is shown that the joint detailing can be simplified without any modification in the member sizes being required and without violating the initial assumption about the rigid nature of the joints. To achieve this end, the methods provided in the Eurocode 3 for the design of the moment resistant joints are used.

12.3 Design assumptions and requirements 12.3.1 S t r u c t u r a l bracing The structure is unbraced in its plane. In the longitudinal direction of the building, i.e. normal to the plane of the portals, bracing is provided so that the purlins act as out-of-plane support points to the frame. It is therefore assumed that the top of each column is held in place against out-of-plane displacement and that the lateral support provided for the rafter is adequate to prevent lateral torsional buckling in it. 12.3.2 S t r u c t u r a l analysis and d e s i g n of the m e m b e r s and joints A widely used elastic linear elastic analysis was adopted for the ultimate and serviceability limit states. Elastic analysis is particularly suited since plastic hinge behaviour in the members or the joints is not considered. At the final stage of the design, an allowance was made in the analysis for the increased section properties of the rafter over the length of the haunches. In accordance with the principle that elastic analysis is valid up to the formation of the first plastic hinge in the structure, the plastic design resistances of the

Ί Ί

5

member cross-sections and of the joints can be used for the verification of the ultimate limit states. The traditional assumption that joints are rigid is adopted. This assumption is verified. 12.3.3

Materials

Hot-rolled standard sections are used for the members. For the members, the haunches, the end-plates, the base-plates and any stiffeners, an S275 steel to EN 10025, with a yield strength of 275N/mm2 and an ultimate strength of 430N/mm2, is adopted. The bolts are Class 10.9 with mechanical characteristics according to EN 20898-1 and EN 20898-2. 12.3.4 Partial safety f a c t o r s on r e s i s t a n c e The values of the partial safety factors on resistance are as follows :

12.3.5

YMO =1,1

for the resistance of cross-sections;

YMI

for the buckling resistance of members;

=1,1

YM2 = 1,25

for the resistance of net sections;

YMb = 1,25

for the resistance of bolts;

YMW = 1,25

for the resistance of welds.

Loading

12.3.5.1 Basic loading While the loads given are typical for a building of this type, they should be taken as indicative since the values currently required at the present time in different countries vary. These differences concern wind and snow loading mainly. Rather than apply the relevant parts of ENV 1991-Basis of Design, which either are recently available or are still under discussion, the French loading standards were used to determine the design load intensities and their distribution on the structure. The building is situated in a rather exposed location for wind. For simplicity, the self-weight of the cladding plus that of its supporting purlins is considered to act as a uniformly distributed load on the frame perimeter.

12.4 Preliminary design 12.4.1 Member selection It was decided to use standard hot-rolled sections. When resistance is the only determining factor, it is usually possible in a two bay portal frame of this kind to have a smaller column section size for the central column than for the eaves columns. However, in this case the use of similar columns throughout was justified since the wind loads are quite high and serviceability requirements on horizontal deflections are an important consideration in the choice of the member sections. Doing this provided a column-rafter combination with adequate overall structural stiffness and strength and furthermore insured that, despite the fact that the columns are unstiffened, the assumption of rigid joints is not violated. Taking these considerations into account, the following member section sizes were chosen: Columns :

12.4.2 Joint s e l e c t i o n A flush end-plate bolted haunch joint is used for the rafter-to-column joints. The haunch is obtained by welding a part of an IPE 400 section to the bottom flange at the ends of each IPE 400 rafter. The height of the section is increased from 403,6mm (flange-to-flange allowing for the beam slope of 7,7°) to 782,6mm. The haunch extends 1,5 m along the length of the rafter. An extended end-plate bolted joint is used at the mid-span of the rafters, i.e. at the ridge joints.

12.5 Classification of the frame as non-sway The global analysis was conducted using a first-order elastic analysis and assuming rigid joints. Only the results for the two more critical load combination cases are given (see Table 12.3).

Table 12.3 Internal efforts for the most critical load combination cases at ULS According to Eurocode 3 - 5.2.5.2(4), an unbraced frame can be classified as non-sway for a given load if the following criterion is satisfied :

Μ

·=-ΙΙ·"4ΕΓ

(1 Α 6)



L

-b

Equation (1-A.5) demonstrates the influence of the joint stiffness on the end moment. For a joint having a very high stiffness compared to that of the beam, the beam behaves as almost fixed ended. When the joint stiffness is very small compared to that of the beam, the beam behaves as almost pin ended. How the beam behaves essentially depends on the relative stiffnesses of the joint and the beam. The stiffness of a given beam section varies only with its length, It can be deduced that, for a given beam section of inertia /, Lb having end joints of stiffness Sj :



when Lb is relatively long (very flexible beam), the joint tends to behave like a fully fixed joint (Μλ =$-pL2b / 1 2 ) ,



when L b is relatively short (very stiff beam), the joint tends to behave like a pinned joint (M,=> 0).

Keeping these observations in mind, two characteristic lengths, Lb1 and may be defined: 1 ) Lb1 such that : - if Lb > Lbi

the joint may be considered as rigid,

- if Lb < Lb1

the joint shall to be considered as semi-rigid;

2) Lb2 such that : - if Lb > Lb2

the joint shall to be considered as semi rigid,

- if Lb < Lb2

the joint may be considered as pinned,

303

Lb2,

where Lb2 < Lbì

Taking the lengths in increasing order, the length Lb2 represents the boundary between the "pinned" and "semi-rigid" classifications, and the length Lb1 represents the boundary between the "semi-rigid" and "rigid" classifications. Their values depend on the joint stiffness and on the given beam section properties. It is quite important to stress that, in accordance with Eurocode 3(revised)Annex J, the joint stiffness to be considered for stiffness classification is the elastic initial one.
