The structural efficiency of tapered steel section with perforation under lateral torsional buckling behaviour

The structural efficiency of tapered steel section with perforation under lateral torsional buckling behaviour / Lim Cheng Kuan
Rasuk tirus mempunyai keupayaan untuk menahan tekanan maksima di satu lokasi sementara tegasannya lebih rendah pada anggota lain dan oleh itu ia boleh mempunyai kecekapan struktur yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan rasuk konvensional. Ia juga boleh memenuhi keperluan fungsinya di samping mengurangkan berat diri sendiri dan kos dalam pelbagai bidang kejuruteraan awam. Bukaan web dalam keratan keluli juga memudahkan penyepaduan perkhidmatan mekanikal dan elektrik seperti paip pengudaraan dan kabel elektrik dalam kedalaman struktur pancaran. Sebanyak 81 model dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisian LUSAS dan lima pembolehubah yang disiasat adalah saiz pembukaan, bentuk pembukaan, susun atur pembukaan, nisbah tirus dan ketebalan bebibir dan web. Momen lengkokan diperolehi dari keputusan di LUSAS manakala berat diri sendiri dan kecekapan struktur dikira secara manual. Dari hasilnya, saiz pembukaan 0.75D mempunyai kecekapan struktur tertinggi walaupun ia dapat menahan beban yang lebih kecil. Ini disebabkan oleh berat badannya yang lebih rendah berbanding saiz pembukaan yang lain. Bentuk pembukaan empat segi juga mempunyai kecekapan struktur tertinggi berbanding dengan pembukaan bulat dan pembukaan berlian. Peratusan peningkatan kecekapan struktur bentuk pembukaan empat segi dengan saiz 0.75D adalah yang tertinggi pada 3.07%. Bentuk pembukaan bulat dengan saiz 0.75D dengan susun atur pembukaan Buka-Buka-Buka mempunyai peningkatan peratusan tertinggi dalam kecekapan struktur iaitu 2.37%. Nisbah tirus sebanyak 0.3 adalah paling efisien dan peningkatan peratusan dalam kecekapan struktur adalah 114.36%. Ketebalan bebibir 0.02m dan ketebalan web 0.015m mempunyai kecekapan struktur tertinggi pada 45.756 dan 29.171. Kesimpulannya, rasuk harus dapat menahan momentum besar dan mempunyai berat badan yang lebih rendah juga untuk memiliki kecekapan struktur yang tinggi. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tapered beams have the ability to resist a maximum stress at a single location while the stresses are considerably lower at in the rest of the member and therefore it could have a higher structural efficiency compared to conventional beams. It could also satisfy functional requirements while reducing weight and cost in many fields of civil construction. Perforation in steel section also eases the integration of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) services such as ventilation pipes and electrical cables within the structural depths of the beam. In this research, the structural efficiency of tapered steel section with perforation under lateral torsional buckling behaviour were investigated. A total of 81 models were analysed using LUSAS software and five variables that are being investigated are size of opening, shape of opening, opening layout, tapering ratio and flange and web thickness. Buckling moment is obtained from the results in LUSAS while self-weight and structural efficiency is calculated manually. From the results, opening size of 0.75D has the highest structural efficiency although it can withstand a smaller buckling load. This is due to its lower self-weight compared to other opening size. Square opening shape also has the highest structural efficiency compared to circular opening and diamond opening. The percentage increase in structural efficiency of square opening shape of 0.75D is the highest at 3.07%. Circular opening shape of 0.75D with Open-Open-Open opening layout has the highest percentage increase in structural efficiency which is 2.37%. Tapering ratio of 0.3 is the most structurally efficient and the percentage increase in structural efficiency is 114.36%. The flange thickness of 0.02m and web thickness of 0.015m has the highest structural efficiency at 45.756 and 29.171 respectively. In conclusion, a beam should be able to resist large buckling moment and has a lower self-weight as well in order to has a high structural efficiency.
