Numerical Analysis of Bearing Capacity to Q690 Tubular Joints Enhanced by Tile Shaped Plate

Abstract:

Simple joint is a common connection in tubular structures. Local buckling occurs in panel zone when the joints bear heavy loads, and local buckling will reduce the bearing capacity and stiffness. In order to improve the bearing capacity of tubular joints, the joints need to be strengthened. In this paper, the bending performance of the joints will be enhanced by welding a tile shaped plate outside the surface of panel zone of chord member. By ANSYS finite element program, the bearing capacity of the joint with different tile shaped plate was analyzed. The results showed that the bearing capacity of the joints experience obvious change with variation of thickness, whereas the bearing capacity has no change with variation of radian.
