Buckling behaviour of prestressed steel stayed columns with imperfections and stress limitation
AbstractA steel column that is reinforced by prestressed stays, generally has an increased strength in axial compression. In the past, greater emphasis was placed on obtaining a higher critical buckling load. However, detailed knowledge of the post-buckling behaviour is important to ensure the safety and efficiency of the structure. The current work examines the buckling behaviour of a stayed column with geometrical imperfections, and stress limitation relating to possible material failure. A geometrically nonlinear model accounting for imperfect buckling behaviour of a stayed column was formulated using the Rayleigh–Ritz method, and then validated, using the finite element method. It is shown from these studies that the system tends to be most sensitive to imperfections at a prestress level that yields the highest critical load, and that the real maximum load capacity seems to increase as the prestress increases with a given configuration. The findings suggest that the optimal prestress should be greater than that found from using the previous convention that was based on linear analysis.
