Analysis of Load-Carrying Capacity of Thin-Walled Closed Beams with Different Slenderness

Article Preview

Abstract:

The presented paper deals with the load-carrying capacity analysis of compress steel members having the square closed (box) cross-section with non-dimensional slenderness 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 a 1.2. The axis of these beams is randomly three-dimensionally curved. Initial curvatures are modelled by random fields applying the LHS method. Load-carrying capacities are then calculated by the geometrically nonlinear solution using the ANSYS program. The results are presented both in form of histograms and of the table. The analysis of load-carrying capacity of beams with individual nonlinear slenderness is carried out, and the values are compared with the values of design load-carrying capacity according to the standard.
