Effect of local buckling on hysteretic behavior of beam-column with circular cross-section
- Osaka Univ. (Japan)
In this paper, the hysteretic behavior of beam-column member having circular cross-section under simultaneously acting constant compressive axial load and cyclic lateral load is investigated. Elasto-plastic large deformation analysis by means of Finite Element Method (FEM) is utilized in this research. An emphasis is placed on the effect of the axial compressive load and geometrical parameters on the deterioration of the ultimate strength, the stiffness and the energy-dissipation capacity. Also, effect of the tangent modulus in the strain hardening region and different hardening rules are discussed. From this study, it is found that, in the absence of the axial compressive load, no deterioration in the strength, the stiffness and the absorbed energy are observed in all investigated members having different geometries. Meanwhile, in the case of the presence of axial load, local buckling (locally accumulated deflection under cyclic loading) may be induced depending on the geometrical parameters, namely, diameter-to-thickness ratio D/t and slenderness parameter {lambda} as well as the value of axial load ratio. Such local buckling reduces the ultimate strength and the stiffness of the member. The strength and the stiffness of the member are improved with smaller values of D/t and {lambda} and larger tangent modulus in the strain hardening region of the material.
