Numerical Analysis of Bearing Capacity to Q690 Tubular Joints Enhanced by Inner Annular Plate

Abstract:

Simple joint is a common connection type in tubular structures. In this joint, one or more tubes are welded directly on the surface of another tube. Local buckling occurs in panel zone when the joint load is heavy, and such local buckling will reduce the bearing capacity and stiffness of the joint. In order to improve bearing capacity of tubular joints, the joint needs to be strengthened. In this paper, the bending performance of the joint will be enhanced by welding two annular plates inside the surface of panel zone of chord member. By ANSYS finite element program, the bearing capacity of the joint with different inner annular plate was analyzed, including design bearing capacity and ultimate bearing capacity. The results showed that comparing to annular plate thickness variation, the width variation and interval variation have much more influence on the bearing capacity of the joint.
