Buckling Analysis of a New Type of Double-Steering Prestressed Plate Column

Abstract

A new type of dual-steering prestressed plate column is introduced. Compared to the previous prestressed strut column, this proposed column considers both bending and constraints at ends. The calculation results indicated that the support plate significantly improves the stable bearing capacity and buckling performance of the core steel column. When compared to the proposed column, the bearing capacity of the three-transverse prestressed beam column is 1.51 times smaller, the single-transverse prestressed beam column is 2.43 times lower, and the non-prestressed column is 4.51 times smaller. Moreover, this study examines the influences of effective length, buckling mode, stress nephogram detail, and prestress value. It explores the possibility of implementing this new type of dual-steering prestressed plate column in practical engineering. In addition, the variety and mechanical models of prestressed columns are expanded and refined.

A Study on the Elastoplastic Stable Bearing Capacity of Double-Steering Prestressed Plate Columns

“…Wadee et al [13] suggested a simplified model to estimate the post-buckling behavior of prestressed columns. Li et al [14] introduced a dualsteering-plate-brace prestressed column and conducted modal analyses. However, further studies are required on the elastic-plastic load-bearing capacity and parameter optimization of dual-steering-plate-brace prestressed columns.…”
