PurposeThe strength and stiffness of steel deteriorate rapidly at elevated temperatures. Thus, the characteristics of steel structures exposed to fire have been concerned in recent years. Most studies on the fire response of steel structures were conducted at uniformly distributed temperatures. This study aims to evaluate the buckling capacity of steel H-beams subjected to different loading conditions under non-uniform heating.Design/methodology/approachA numerical investigation was conducted employing finite element analysis software, ABAQUS. A comparison between the numerical analysis results and the experimental data from previous studies was conducted to verify the beam model. Simply supported beams were loaded with several loading conditions including one end moment, end equal moments, uniformly distributed load and concentrated load at midspan. The effects of initial imperfections were considered. The buckling capacities of steel beams under fire using the existing fire design code and the previous study were also generated and compared.FindingsThe results showed that the length-to-height ratio and loading conditions have a great effect on the buckling resistance of steel beams under fire. The capacity of steel beams under non-uniform temperature distribution using the existing fire design code and the previous study can give unconservative values or too conservative values depending on loading conditions. The maximum differences of unconservative and conservative values are −44.5 and 129.2% for beams subjected to end equal moments and one end moment, respectively.Originality/valueThis study provides the buckling characteristics of steel beams under non-uniform temperature considering the influences of initial imperfections, length-to-height ratios, and loading conditions. This study will be beneficial for structural engineers in properly evaluating structures under non-uniform heating conditions.

“…For example Santiago et al (2010) used a numerical model to investigate the connection effects on the behavior of steel sub-frame in natural fire conditions. Moreover, Maraveas et al (2017) and Guo and Huang (2016) investigated the behavior of steel beams with different restraints exposed to the fire, using numerical models and experimental tests. The effect of bolted single angle, shear-tab and bolted double angle connections on the fire performance of steel beam were investigated by Pakala and Kodur (2016) and .…”

PurposeTop-seat angle connection is known as one of the usual uncomplicated beam-to-column joints used in steel structures. This article investigates the fire performance of welded top-seat angle connections.Design/methodology/approachA finite element (FE) model, including nonlinear contact interactions, high-temperature properties of steel, and material and geometric nonlinearities was created for accomplishing the fire performance analysis. The FE model was verified by comparing its simulation results with test data. Using the verified model, 24 steel-framed top-seat angle connection assemblies are modeled. Parametric studies were performed employing the verified FE model to study the influence of critical factors on the performance of steel beams and their welded angle joints.FindingsThe results obtained from the parametric studies illustrate that decreasing the gap size and the top angle size and increasing the top angles thickness affect fire behavior of top-seat angle joints and decrease the beam deflection by about 16% at temperatures beyond 570 °C. Also, the fire-resistance rating of the beam with seat angle stiffener increases about 15%, compared to those with and without the web stiffener. The failure of the beam happens when the deflections become more than span/30 at temperatures beyond 576 °C. Results also show that load type, load ratio and axial stiffness levels significantly control the fire performance of the beam with top-seat angle connections in semi-rigid steel frames.Originality/valueDevelopment of design methodologies for these joints and connected beam in fire conditions is delayed by current building codes due to the lack of adequate understanding of fire behavior of steel beams with welded top-seat angle connections.

“…Owing to their convenience, RBS connections are becoming increasingly popular in seismic areas since they were first proposed by Plumier [47] in 1990. Indeed, the RBS are being object of study by many researchers like Montuori [41], [40] in Italy; Pachoumis [45], [46], Sophianopoulos [55], Sofias [54] and Deri [14] in Greece; Engelhardt [20] in the USA; Deylami [15], Morshedi [42], Tahamouli [52] and Saleh [53] in Iran; Han [27], [26] in Korea, and many others around the world [9], [34], [59], [25], [44], [51].…”

The design rules on Reduced Beam Sections (RBS) are covered in the Eurocodes in EN1998-3 as a possible solution to improve rotation capacity of beams for the retrofit of existing structures. The design rules are very similar to those in AISC358 provisions, although European cross-sections and steel grades are different. Research pieces on RBS in a European environment are few and do not study this matter with an extensive parametric study to assess their behaviour. Moreover, the design rules in EN1998-3 only show how to design the weakened section of the beam, but they do not provide any additional information on whether further action is needed on the structure for the design of other members such as braces or if special considerations need to be made for connection detailing. The current state of the Eurocodes does not consider the design of a new structure with RBS, while AISC358 provisions do allow for new RBS designs. The aim of this PhD thesis is to study the behaviour of the RBS and find the most relevant design parameters affecting its response in a beam-to-column assembly level and to study the benefits of incorporating RBS as a solution for the design of new structures in seismic areas. In order to fulfill the first goal, a numerical model has been developed in Abaqus in order to assess the behaviour of RBS and to discuss the results obtained from them. Hot-rolled European sections have been studied from the HEA and IPE cross-section families, as well as a built-up slender girder and an American Jumbo section. Several different cutouts (or trimmed flange widths) are investigated, as well as S235 and S355 steel grades with their cyclic hardening properties. The influence on the column web panel strength is also considered in the parametric study. The results obtained are then examined to compare degradation ratios, overstrength ratios, lateral-torsional buckling development, dissipated plastic work and plastic damage by means of equivalent plastic strains (PEEQ). In order to fulfill the second goal, two different studies have been performed to assess the influence of the RBS in a structure subjected to seismic load. The behaviour of a structure provided with RBS is compared to that of a control structure without RBS. The results have been obtained and the differences found have been quantified in order to objectively report the benefits found when adopting RBS After having studied the behaviour of the RBS both locally (at a beam-to-column level) and globally, the main conclusions have been derived. Also, design recommendations to take into consideration for the design of new RBS are provided in order to ensure a proper behaviour of the RBS when subjected to seismic loads and to guarantee overall good structural behaviour. Les regles de disseny de les bigues de secció reduïda (RBS) es cobreixen als eurocodis en la norma EN1998-3 com a possible solució per millorar la capacitat de rotació de bigues per a la rehabilitació de les estructures existents. Les normes de disseny són molt similars a les de les disposicions de l'AISC358, tot i que les seccions transversals europees i els graus d'acer són diferents. Les investigacions sobre RBS en un entorn europeu són poques i no estudien aquest tema amb un ampli estudi paramètric per avaluar el seu comportament. A més, les regles de disseny de la norma EN1998-3 només mostren com dissenyar la secció reduïda de la biga, però no proporcionen informació addicional sobre si cal fer més accions a l'estructura per al disseny d'altres elements o si calen altres consideracions especials en el detallat de la connexió. L'estat actual dels eurocodis no contempla el disseny d'una nova estructura amb RBS, mentre que les disposicions AISC358 permeten nous dissenys de RBS. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral és estudiar el comportament de les RBS i trobar els paràmetres de disseny més rellevants que afecten la seva resposta a nivell local de biga a columna i estudiar els avantatges d'incorporar RBS com a solució per al disseny de noves estructures en zones sísmiques. Per complir el primer objectiu, s'ha desenvolupat un model numèric amb Abaqus per avaluar el comportament de RBS i discutir els resultats obtinguts d'ells. S'han estudiat seccions europees laminades en calent pertanyents a les famílies de seccions transversals HEA i IPE, així com una biga esvelta armada i una secció Jumbo americana. S'investiguen divers os retalls (o amplades d'ales de biga retallades), així com els graus d’acer S235 i S355 amb les seves propietats d'enduriment cíclic. La influència de la resistència relativa de la zona de l'anima de la columna també es considera en l’estudi paramètric. A continuació, s'examinen els resultats obtinguts per comparar les ràtios de degradació, les ratios de sobrerresistència, el desenvolupament de vinclament lateral-torsional, l'energia dissipada per deformació plàstica i el dany plàstic mitjançant deformacions plàstiques equivalents (PEEQ). Per tal de complir el segon objectiu, s'han dut a terme dos estudis diferents per avaluar la influència de la RBS en una estructura sotmesa a càrrega sísmica. El comportament d'una estructura proveïda de RBS es compara amb el d'una estructura de control sense RBS. S'han obtingut els resultats i s'han quantificat les diferències trobades per tal d'informar objectivament dels beneficis trobats en adoptar RBS. Després d'haver estudiat el comportament de la RBS tant a nivell local (a nivell de biga a columna) com a nivell global, s'han extret les principals conclusions. A més, es proporcionen recomanacions de disseny a tenir en compte per al disseny de nous RBS per tal de garantir un comportament correcte de l'RBS quan està sotmès a càrregues sísmiques i per garantir un bon comportament estructural en general.
