Local buckling behaviour of high strength steel tubular beams under moment gradients
AbstractThis paper presents an experimental study into the effect of moment gradients on the local buckling behaviour of hot‐rolled high strength steel square hollow section (SHS) beams. The influence of moment gradients was investigated by testing 20 beam specimens, ranging from Class 2 to Class 4 according to the cross‐section classification limits given in prEN 1993‐1‐1:2020. Both four‐ and three‐point bending loading configurations were considered with varying shear span lengths. The influence of intermediate stiffeners at the loading point was examined by employing two different loading configurations in the three‐point bending tests, achieving fully stiffened or unstiffened conditions. Local geometric imperfections were measured by means of 3D laser scanning, and the displacement and strain fields at critical regions were monitored by digital image correlation (DIC) during testing. It was shown from the tests that specimens subjected to moment gradients exhibited higher ultimate moment capacities than those subjected to uniform moments.
