Abstract

Internationally representative steel design standards have forbidden or limited the application of high-strength steels to tubular joints, partly because of concerns about their unique material characteristics such as high yield ratio. Most of design standards stipulate that for steels whose yield strengths exceed 355 or 360 MPa, the strength equations cannot be utilized or strength reduction factor below 1.0 should be multiplied. However, the mechanical background behind these limitations is not clear. Experimental testing of high-strength steel CHS (circular hollow section) X-joints recently conducted by the authors also clearly indicated that the current limitations might be unduly conservative. As a continuing work, extensive, test-validated numerical analyses were made to investigate the behavior of high-strength steel CHS X-joint under axial compression. Three steel grades covering ordinary to very high strength steels were considered in the analysis. Again it was found that the high strength penalty to the joint strength in current standards is too severe and needs to be relaxed. The high-strength steel joints under the effects of chord stress generally showed higher strength than the ordinary steel joints and their strengths were conservatively predicted by current standards. It is also emphasized that current format of the CHS X-joint strength equation does not reflect observed behavior and needs to be recast.

고강도 강재의 높은 항복비와 같은 특이한 물성에 대한 우려 등의 이유로 국내외 대표적인 강구조 설계기준에서는 강관구조에 고강도 강재를 적용하는 것을 금지하거나 제한하고 있다. 대부분의 설계기준에서는 강관의 항복강도가 355 또는 360MPa을 초과하는 경우 제시된 설계강도식을 사용할 수 없거나 강도저감계수를 통해 설계강도를 낮추어야 한다. 반면 이러한 제한사항에 대한 역학적 근거는 명료하지 않다. 또한 최근 저자들에 의해 수행된 X형 원형강관접합부에 대한 실험연구는 고강도강에 대한 규제가 과도하게 보수적일 수도 있다는 점을 지적한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 고강도강 X형 원형강관접합부의 지관 압축 하에서의 거동을 더 자세히 분석하기 위해 실험에 이은 수치해석 변수연구를 수행하였다. 일반 강재부터 매우 항복강도가 높은 고강도 강재까지 넓은 범위의 강종을 고려하였다. 본 수치해석 연구에서도 현행의 고강도강 페널티가 매우 보수적이며 완화될 여지가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 주관 축응력 하에서의 고강도강 접합부의 거동을 분석한 결과 현행 기준식이 고강도강 접합부의 주관 축응력에 의한 강도 감소 효과를 보수적으로 예측함을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 주관 축응력이 작용할 때 고강도강 접합부는 일반강 접합부에 비해 접합부 강도를 더 잘 유지하였다. 더불어 현행 기준식의 형태가 실제 접합부 거동을 정확히 표현하는 데에 한계가 있으며 개선될 여지가 있음을 지적하였다.
