Elasto-Plastic Mechanical Behavior of Steel Box Stub Column under Cyclic Uniaxial Tensile and Compressive Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, to study mechanical behavior of steel box stub column under cyclic uniaxial tensile and compressive load, elasto-plastic analysis of the segment is carried out by using ABAQUS package. In this study, with changing parameters (such as length-width ratio L/B, width-thickness ratio RR) of the box stub column, the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stress distribution and deformation of the ultimate state for the steel box stub-column are investigated. These results show the L/B and RR have little impact on the ultimate strength and ductility of stub-columns during the tensile stage. However, RR has obvious impact on the elasto-plastic mechanical behavior and local deformation under compressive load.
