Abstract:
This paper reports on the development of a general-purpose Eurocode-compliant component-based connection finite element for steel-to-steel joints in fire. The development begins by utilising the temperature-dependent connection component characteristics previously developed at the University of Sheffield to create a component-based connection finite element to model flush endplate connections. Subsequently the element was extended to a new connection type with high ductility, the reverse channel. The component models have been developed for the reverse channel under tension and compression. The element has been incorporated into the nonlinear global structural analysis program Vulcan, in which it has been used along with a static-dynamic formulation. The use of the element is illustrated by modelling a fire test at the University of Manchester in which reverse channel connections were used.

Abstract:
Two different configurations of steel-to-timber connections are tested in bending in normal conditions and under ISO-fire exposure. To observe the influence of clearances in the connection area on the fire resistance of the connections, two specimens were previously tested under cyclic loadings. These tests consist in the application of loading-unloading cycles by controlled displacements. The experimental results of connections tested in cold and under ISO-fire conditions are analyzed and commented. These results are then used to validate a finite element model. This model allows to simulate numerically the evolution of the temperatures inside the connections as well as their mechanical and thermo-mechanical behaviours. The thermal modelling is validated on the basis of the temperature-time evolutions measured during fire tests. The nonlinear modelling of the mechanical behaviour of timber is done using the Hill yield criterion in combination with the Tsaï-Wu failure criterion. The thermo-mechanical modelling allows obtaining fire resistances of the tested connections in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Abstract:
The research involved experimental testing of simple steel connections and components (structural 8.8 bolts) at elevated temperatures. High temperature tests on structural bolts demonstrated two modes of failure at elevated temperatures: bolt breakage and thread stripping. In order to prevent the thread stripping in a connection,the manufacturing process of bolts and nuts has been investigated and the ‘over tapping’ of nut threads to accommodate the (zinc) coating layer for corrosion resistance has been indentified as a primary reason resulting in this premature failure between bolts and nuts. Experimental tests on endplate connections revealed the ductility of these connections to decrease at high temperatures, which might hinder the development of catenary actions in fire if plastic hinges are attempted to be formed within the connection zones. Component-based modelling and finite element simulation have been utilized for investigation of the performance of these connections.

Abstract:
The full-scale fire tests at Cardington in the 1990s, and the collapse of at least one of the WTC buildings in 2001, illustrated that connections are potentially the most vulnerable parts of a structure in fire. Fracture of connections causes structural discontinuities and reduces the robustness provided by alternative load paths. An understanding of connection performance is essential to the assessment of structural robustness, and so to structural design against progressive collapse. The forces and deformations to which connectionscan be subjected during a fire differ significantly from those assumed in general design. The internal forces i generally start with moment and shear at ambient temperature, then superposing compression in the initial stages of a fire, which finally changes to catenary tension at high temperatures. If a connection does not have sufficient resistance or ductility to accommodate simultaneous large rotations and normal forces, then connections may fracture, leading to extensive damage or progressive collapse of the structure. Practical assessment of the robustness of steel connections in fire will inevitably rely largely on numerical modelling, but this is unlikely to include general-purpose finite element modelling, because of the complexity of such models. The most promising alternative is the component method, a practical approach which can be included within global three-dimensional frame analysis. The connection is represented by an assembly of individual components with known mechanical properties. Component characterization must include high-deflection elevated-temperature behaviour, and represent it up to fracture.In reality a connection may either be able to regain its stability after the initial fracture of one (or a few) components, or the first failure may trigger a cascade of failures of other components, leading to complete detachment of the supported member. Numerical modelling must be capable of predicting the sequence of failures of components, rather than considering the first loss of stability as signifying building failure. It is necessary to use a dynamic analysis, so that loss of stability and re-stabilization can be tracked, includingthe movements of disengaging members and the loadsharing mechanisms which maintain integrity and stability within the remaining structure, until total collapse occurs.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims at developing a mechanical-based model for predicting the thermally induced axial forces and rotation of steel top and seat angles connections with and without web angles subjected to elevated temperatures due to fire. Finite element (FE) simulations and experimental results are used to develop the mechanical model. Design/methodology/approach The model incorporates the overall connection and column-beam rotation of key component elements, and includes nonlinear behavior of bolts and base materials at elevated temperatures and some major geometric parameters that impact the behavior of such connections when exposed to fire. This includes load ratio, beam length, angle thickness, and gap distance. The mechanical model consists of multi-linear and nonlinear springs that predict each component stiffness, strength, and rotation. Findings The capability of the FE model to predict the strength of top and seat angles under fire loading was validated against full scale tests. Moreover, failure modes, temperature at failure, maximum compressive axial force, maximum rotation, and effect of web angles were all determined in the parametric study. Finally, the proposed mechanical model was validated against experimental results available in the literature and FE simulations developed as a part of this study. Originality/value The proposed model provides important insights into fire-induced axial forces and rotations and their implications on the design of steel bolted top and seat angle connections. The originality of the proposed mechanical model is that it requires low computational effort and can be used in more advanced modelling applications for fire analysis and design.

Abstract:
Nonlinear finite element analysis has become very useful in modelling complicated structural systems and their behaviour. In this paper, an attempt has been made to utilize a tension softening material (TSM) model to simulate the full pre-cracking and post-cracking response of fibre reinforced concrete flat slabs at slab-column connections by finite element analysis. Validation of the developed numerical model was carried out by means of comparisons with test results. In addition, a universal analytical model has been proposed to predict the ultimate punching shear strength of slab-column connections. Compared with the relevant design codes (BS 8110, ACI 318–05, EC 2 1991, EC 2 2004/CEB-FIP MC90 and JSCE 1986), the model proposed herein has been shown to be accurate, with low coefficient of variation. Furthermore, a distinctive failure mode indicator has also been derived.

Abstract:
The growing need for sustainable production of electricity highlights the importance and the necessity of having higher number and more effective offshore wind towers. The rapid growth of offshore wind towers is estimated to produce 4% of electricity demands in Europe by the end of 2020. The research described in this paper is part of a project dedicated for the development of innovative structural system using advanced materials for lightweight and durable offshore towers. Specifically, it discusses the nonlinear finite element modelling of the connection between representative prefabricated rings of offshore wind tower made by steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), and prestressed by a hybrid system of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) bars and steel strands. This connection is assured by post-tension high steel strength cables and concrete-concrete shear friction width an idealized geometric configuration of the faces in contact. The model takes into account the loads from the rotor, wind and water currents, by considering the critical loading conditions for the safety verifications of serviceability and ultimate limit states. The material nonlinear analyses are carried out with FEMIX V4.0 software, considering a 3D constitutive model capable of simulating the relevant nonlinear features of the SFRC, and interface finite elements for modelling the shear friction of the concrete-concrete surfaces in contact. The parametric analyses involve the influence on the relevant results of the SFRC fracture parameters, pre-stress level of the reinforcements, shape of interlock mechanism, friction angle and interface cohesion.

Abstract:
This paper presents experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of wood-CFRP beams bonded with polyurethane (PUR) adhesive. The analyses include two types of CFRP (carbon fibre-reinforced polymer) strengthening configurations and pure glue laminated timber beams as a reference. Through detailed analyses of a double-lap connection on blocks with and without CFRP strips, the authors state that neglecting the cohesive stiffness of adhesive layers may lead to an overestimation of an overall beam’s stiffness. This is significant with wood–CFRP connections, which showed values two times lower than with wood–wood connections. Theoretical modelling of the equivalent area used in a theory of composites provided much stiffer behaviour of the beams than in laboratory experiments. It proves that a PUR glue eliminates the possibility of using simple models that assume a perfect connection between bonded parts. These conclusions led the authors to use the finite element method (FEM) to take into account the cohesive stiffness. The FEM, based on the properties obtained from a double-lap joint analysis, allowed for the precise prediction of the elastic stiffness of the beams.

Abstract:
The behaviour of connections in fire has become of particular interest to the structural engineering community following the possible link of connection failure to the collapse of the World Trade Centre building 7 and the failures and huge distortion of some connections after the Cardington full scale tests. In order to widen the understanding of the complex behaviour of connections in fire this thesis discusses a number of specific issues relating to connections in fire and their influence on structural response. The first part of this work presents a finite element model for predicting connection temperature profiles. A parametric study is then carried out to investigate which factors have the greatest influence on temperature prediction. This method is compared to the currently available methods for connection temperature prediction presented in the Eurocodes: using a percentage of the beam mid-span lower flange temperature to estimate the temperature across the connection and a lumped capacitance method to calculate average joint temperature based on the mass of material and surface area. In each case, along with the predicted temperatures, the influence on connection material strength is also presented. The three methods have varying levels of accuracy. The finite element model provides detailed and accurate results due to the thorough consideration given to the input parameters. The percentages method gives reasonable estimates in the heating phase but is less accurate in cooling and the lumped capacitance method is only suitable for crude estimations. The remainder of the thesis is concerned with how a number of phenomena affect the overall structural behaviour of buildings: the inclusion of detailed connection models within larger, less complex, finite element models; the effects of connection rotational capacity and the composite beam-slab shear connection. A finite element model for isolated joints is presented in detail for a number of heating regimes and connection types. The influence of the bolt shear and tensile properties is considered in detail and the need for further testing on bolts at high temperatures is discussed. The model has the capacity to predict a number of failure modes and also shows a good comparison between experimental and theoretical deflected shapes. This connection model is then inserted into a large model. It is shown that whilst the inclusion of the shell connection has a small influence on the residual deflections of a structure after cooling when compare to a model where connections are simple and fixed, the difference between heating and not heating the connection does effect structural deflections. Following on from the previous full scale model, simple connections are then exclusively included where the connection rotational capacity is varied. Results show that there is not a large effect on the structural deflections or beam axial and shear forces when rotational behaviour is changed. However column bending moments are hugely increased during heating both in the fire compartment and away from it and fixed connections result in larger bending moment that pinned ones. Finally, the shear interaction between the slab and beams is investigated. The detailed development of both an ambient temperature and then an elevated temperature model of a beam-slab system including explicit shear studs are presented. A study is then carried out looking at the effects on deflections and beam forces when the strength and ductility of the studs are altered. It is found that more ductile studs with a high shear capacity are beneficial for reducing forces in beams and limiting their deflections. Finally the shear studs are included in the larger model used in previous chapters where results are similar to those seen in the beam-slab model, but are less pronounced.

Abstract:
In a context where timber is gaining popularity as a building material and glass-fibre reinforced composites (GFRC) are becoming more accessible in a wide variety of formats, it is considered appropriate to reconsider the combination of these two materials. Additionally, given the increasing use of laminated timber elements where stiffness and strength are better controlled, attention is drawn back to the connection between elements. For these reasons, it is considered of interest to study reinforcing possibilities for connections within timber structures. This work consists in a parametric study of a single-dowelled connection between a timber part and a slotted-in steel plate, reinforced wirh GFRC plates glued into the timber slot at both sides of the steel plate. The study was carried out through simulations in ABAAUS Finite Element Analysis software considering the effect of specimen's geometry and the fibre distribution within the GFRC. Results show the increase of stiffness for the different configurations and give an insight of what can be expected from such type of reinforcements.

Abstract:
Structural engineers and architects have a responsibility for incorporating fire safety into their building designs in order to minimize loss of life and property. To meet this requirement, extensive research has been carried out, aimed at obtaining better understanding of the performance of steel and composite structures under fire conditions. Recent research indicates that the robustness of steel connections is vitally important to the fire resistance of steel-framed composite buildings. The development of effective connection models is a key issue in this research field. This PhD research is focused on the development of robust connection elements, for modelling steel connections at elevated temperatures. In this work, a robust simplified two-node connection element has been developed, for modelling the behaviour of the bolted end-plate connections between steel beam and column at elevated temperatures. The proposed numerical procedure is based on the model proposed by Huang (2011), incorporating additional developments to more precisely determine the tension, compression, and bending moment capacities of end-plate connections in fire. The proper failure criteria are proposed to calculate the tension capacity for each individual bolt row. In this new model, the connection failure due to bending, axial tension, compression and shear are considered. The influence of the axial force of the connected beam on the connection is also taken into account. This new model has the advantages of both the simple and component-based models. A total of 22 tests are used to validate the model. From these validations, it is evident that this new connection model has ability to accurately predict the behaviour of the end-plate connection at elevated temperatures, and can be used to represent the end-plate connections in supporting performance-based fire resistance design of steel-framed composite buildings. For modelling the behaviour of partial end-plate connections between steel beams and columns under fire conditions, a simplified robust 2-node connection element has also been developed. The rotational response of a partial end-plate connection at elevated temperatures comprises of two stages. These stages are due to the shift of the compression centre of the connection from the end of end-plate, to the centre of the beam bottom flange at large rotation. The model proposed in this research accounts for these two stage behaviours, representing the partial end-plate iv connection as a 2-node non-linear spring element. Characteristics of the spring, such as stiffness, tension, compression, shear strengths and bending moment resistance, are determined based on a component-based approach. This model therefore retains the advantages of both the simple and component-based models. Compared to normal component-based models, this simplified model has very good numerical stability under static solver condition, and is computationally efficient. Fourteen tests are used to validate the model, showing that the model is capable of accurately predicting the behaviour of partial end-plate connections under fire conditions. A series of numerical studies has been conducted on a 2D steel frame, subjected to ISO834 Fire and Natural Fire, in order to investigate the influences of the connections on the behaviour of steel structures. It is clear that the model can be used to represent the partial end-plate connections in performance-based fire resistance design of steel-framed composite buildings. According to full-scale fire tests, tensile membrane action within the concrete floor slabs plays an important role in affecting the fire resistance of composite buildings. It is well known that the development of tensile membrane actions relies on the vertical support along the edges of the slab panel. However, there is at present a lack of research into how vertical supports influence the tensile membrane actions of the slab. In this thesis, the performance of a generic three dimensional 45m x 45m composite floor subjected to ISO834 Fire and Natural Fire are investigated. Different vertical support conditions and three steel meshes are applied, in order to assess the impact of vertical supports on tensile membrane action of floor slabs. Unlike other existing large scale modelling which assumed that the connections behave as pinned or rigid for simplicity, the two robust 2-node connection element models described above are used to model the semi-rigid behaviour of end-plate and partial end-plate connections within the fire compartment. The impact of connections on the 3D behaviour of composite floors is taken into consideration. The load-transfer mechanisms of a composite floor, when connections fail due to axial tension, vertical shear and bending are investigated. Based on the results obtained, some design recommendations are proposed for enhancing the fire resistance of composite buildings.

This study focused on the non-linear finite element modelling procedure, utilising the explicit dynamic analysis technique, and how the various modelling parameters affect the accuracy. The computer modelling of screwed connections is a complex task, and the objective was to investigate the different modalities of finite element modelling to effectively analyse thin sheet steel screwed connections, through calibration against test data found within existing literature. Several aspects of the modelling procedure were examined, including contact definitions, the effective control of the applied load and how it affects the energy output of the finite element model. The final calibrated model was utilised in subsequent parametric studies, which investigated the effect of the steel sheet thickness, as well as the number of the screws used. Results concluded that the finite element model could effectively simulate the expected experimental behaviour of these connections.

Full text
Abstract:
Dowel-type steel to timber connections are commonly used in timber structure. The load carrying capacity and the stress distribution within the connection area are complicated and the failure behavior of a connection depends on many parameters. The main purpose of this thesis was to verify, using the data obtained from previous experiments, the conventional design method of European Code 5(EC5) (hand calculation) for dowel type joints subjected to pure bending moment and other alternative design methods based on the finite element method (FEM) including the use of the mean stress approach and the extended finite element method (XFEM). Finite element models were created in the software ABAQUS. The models were then used to predict the load bearing capacity and compare this to the experimental results. In addition parametric studies were performed with modifications of material properties and other parameters. The closest prediction in relation to the test results was obtained using XFEM where the predicted capacity was 3.82% larger than the experimental result. An extension of the mean stress method going from a 2D-formulation to a 3D-formulation was verified as well. A general conclusion drawn from this work is that the numerical modelling approaches used should also be suitable for application to complex connections and situations involving other loading situations than pure tension.

Abstract:
Joints are the most critical elements in a steel framed structure. In most design guides or codes, the joints are assumed to a have higher fire resistance than the connected structural members because of the lower temperatures in the joints. However, in severe fire conditions, a connected beam's temperature may be higher than its limiting temperature and the beam may develop catenary action when the beam’s axial shortening from large deflections becomes greater than the beam’s thermal expansion. This beam catenary action force could fracture the joints, increasing the risk of progressive collapse. This research focuses on the interaction between joints and the connected steel beams and columns in steel framed structures in fire, including how the behaviour of a joint-beam assembly may be efficiently analyzed and how the joints may be constructed to achieve high degrees of catenary action. Three methods of simulating the joint behaviour in fire have been developed and implemented in the commercial finite element software ABAQUS. In the first modelling method, all structural members, including the connections, were simulated using detailed solid elements to enable detailed behaviour of the structure to be faithfully represented. In the second method, the columns were represented by conventional line (beam) elements, the joints were represented using springs (Connector Elements) based on the component based method, and the beam was modelled using solid elements. In the third method, the joints were modelled using springs as in the second method and the beam and columns were simulated using line (beam) elements. As expected, the detailed simulation method was extremely time-consuming, but was able to produce detailed and accurate results. The simulation results from the second and third methods contained some inaccuracies, but depending on the simulation objective, their simulation results may be acceptable. In particular, the third simulation method was very efficient, suitable for simulating complete frame structures under very large deflections in fire. The first method (detailed finite element method) was then used to investigate how to change the joint details to increase the survivability of restrained steel beams and beam-column assemblies at high temperatures since it enables detailed behaviour of the structure to be faithfully represented. It is found that by improving joint deformation capacity, in particular, using extended endplate connection with fire resistant bolts, very high temperatures can be resisted. The frame robustness in fire was investigated using the third simulation method to save computation time. The simulation structure was three-bay by three-floor and different scenarios of fire location, fire spread and initial structural damage were considered. The simulation results show that once failure of a column occurs, progressive collapse of the structure could be easily triggered and it would be rather futile to only enhance the joint capacity. Therefore, in addition to the measures of improving joint capacities (both rotation and strength), design of the affected columns should include consideration of the additional catenary forces from the connected beams and the increased effective lengths. Furthermore, the lateral bracing system should be ensured to provide the structure with lateral restraint.

Abstract:
In the past decade, Victaulic couplings have gained significant recognition as important piping elements, which are used mainly in water and slurry transportation systems. For example, grooved flexible Victaulic couplings offered significant economical and reliable piping connections when compared to other connecting elements such as flanges. Victaulic couplings are on average three times faster to install than welding piping connections. They are more reliable and cost-effective than flanges or threaded connectors. In addition, the speed and easiness of their assembly or disassembly as well as their flexibility and ability to provide thermal gaps make the couplings desirable as piping elements. Furthermore, the couplings provide stress designers with a rare opportunity to cheaply and reliably compensate for piping loads which are otherwise exerted on equipment attached to piping. For the above reasons Victaulic couplings are frequently used in current piping designs. In spite of their simple design and application they pose a significant challenge for stress designers. The stress software packages based on piping finite element theories which are commonly used in industry do not provide the means to model Victaulic couplings adequately. These packages are based on stress linear theories, and Victaulic couplings with their gaps are definitely non-linear elements. Therefore, the approach to model these elements is very approximate and is usually done by the use of nonlinear restraints built into the software. The stiffness and friction for Victaulic coupling “restraints” are rarely known and assumptions of their values have to be made in order to carry out calculations. Therefore, the prescribed values for the restraints directly influence the stress results. This work discusses assumptions based on several simple stress models. An attempt is made by the author to minimize conservatism as much as practical in the modelling of Victaulic couplings, while waiting for the manufacturers of these elements to test their products and provide meaningful statistical information, which could then be used to carry out stress predictions. The couplings’ stiffness, bending moment and axial force capabilities provided in this work must not be used for design purposes unless verified and accepted by the couplings’ manufacturers.

Abstract:
The new scenario of oil exploration in ultra deep water moves forward to 3000 m, has been putting for the companies that accept this technological challenger significant, border of the techno-scientific knowledge. Therefore, nowadays in this case of ultra deep waters, where the forces above the mooring lines are increase and the use of the new material in Petrobras Floating Production Units, it is necessary the good numerical analyses and experimental test by the mooring line. It appears the need to look for a solution for the problems according to the changes of the polyester rope in the production platform without the bottom extension change and its foundation (fixed point). According to this challenge it was necessary to develop a remote connection and disconnection device. This device is the KS hook and its optimization has been created using the fracture mechanical conception optics and computers tools (FEM and mooring software). There are two conditions to develop this device: one condition is functional and the other is structural. For the functional condition, it’s necessary to create the facilities for handling and installations. For the structural conditions, it is necessary to use the special wrought steel material, treatment for steel characteristic and right geometry. Finite Elements Modeling analyze used the Ansys software, considered the hardness profile material for Minimum Break Load (MBL). The lifetime design is about 25 years for this case and the fatigue analysis considered the residual stress and plasticity for structural device. Previous simulation is especially important in predicting behavior and in the development of new design products before testing. The model was meshed with 3D first order tetrahedral elements solid45. The mesh was sufficiently fine to ensure minimal loss of accuracy in curved geometry. There isn’t a TN fatigue curve (reference API Fatigue curves) for this KS Hook device geometry, in this case become necessary to use the model test to obtain this curve with the extrapolation of the results. The Finite Elements Modeling analyze used with the Material SN Fatigue curve will be used for this validation. Previous simulation is especially important in predicting behavior and in the development of new design products before testing.

Abstract:
A theoretical approach, in order to define the structural behaviour of riveted joints, is presented. The closed form solutions lead to the definition of a Rivet Element useful to FE models of multi-riveted structures. The objective is an accurate evaluation of the local stiffness of riveted joints in FE analysis, which is fundamental to perform a reliable simulation of multi-joint structures and, consequently, a good estimate of loads acting on connections; this makes it possible to introduce new general criteria allowing, for example, to predict fatigue behaviour. On the other hand, a low number of degrees of freedom is needed when several connections are present in a complex structure. The goal is to reach a reliable model of the rivet region which can be used as the basis to develop a Rivet Element in FE analysis. The proposed Rivet Element combines the precision in the simulation with a very limited number degrees of freedom in the finite element model of a complex structure having several rivets. In the present paper the structural behavior of two simple riveted specimens is investigated experimentally and numerically using a new Rivet Element. A comparison with a joint model performed with very refined non-linear 3D models of rivet and with experimental data is performed and a good agreement is shown.

Abstract:
Concrete encased steel composite columns have been widely used in high-rise buildings and top-down constructions owning to excellent load-carrying capacity and fire resistance. However, double symmetric composite section is rarely achieved due to the off-center eccentricity of steel kingpost, which is a common problem in top-down constructions. EN1994-1-1 (EC4) simplified method does not provide any explicit provisions for this kind of irregular composite columns, and many designers address this issue by reducing it into a symmetrical cross-section for ease of simple calculation. This paper presents a general method based on nonlinear finite element modelling software ABAQUS to analyze the ultimate strength behavior of concrete-encased composite columns with asymmetrically placed steel section. The accuracy of the FE model is verified against existing test results. Parametric study is performed to further investigate the influence of steel section eccentricity on ultimate strength of stub columns under different loading conditions. A simplified method based on modification of EC4 design approach is developed to construct the moment-axial force interaction diagram. Accuracy of the proposed method is assessed by comparing the analytically predicted results with the numerical results. It is found that the proposed method can be adopted as a useful tool to predict the cross-section resistance of non-symmetrical concrete-encased steel composite columns.

Abstract:
Abstract Blast and fire-resistant barrier walls are often required on offshore platforms to protect from accidental events. A wall structure designed for a probabilistic explosion event typically relies on inelastic response and plastic deformation to maintain a lightweight, efficient design. Design guides for such structures do not explicitly address how to account for the effects of interaction of blast and fire loading on structural performance and design acceptance criteria. If a wall assembly is required to provide rated fire and gas protection after an explosion event, it is generally assumed that structural integrity is maintained due to temperature increase limits (140°C) from the H-60/120 rated fire protection on the wall. This paper investigates the validity of this assumption for a typical offshore barrier wall designed to undergo permanent deformation during an initial blast event. The study was performed utilizing non-linear dynamic finite element analysis (FEA). FEA allows for design iteration, structural assessment, and validation against extreme load scenarios when testing of full-scale assembly may not be feasible. A typical wall structure was first analyzed for blast loading by non-linear dynamic structural analysis. Thermal loading from a subsequent hydrocarbon fire was then applied to observe the structural response in the post-blast damaged condition. Based on the rated temperature range, the resulting thermal expansion in the wall panels induces large stresses at the interface between wall panels and supporting steel. Non-linear FEA confirmed that yielding occurs which may increase existing plastic strains beyond design limits at locations of high stress concentration. Therefore, it is prudent to consider thermal performance in the design process, especially regarding connections and penetrations.

Abstract:
Pushover analysis of offshore framed structures is usually performed on simplified structural models, using finite element analysis. To assess the typical assumptions made concerning joint and member behaviour, various numerical models of increasing complexity are considered in this paper. These range from simple beam models, to models including a detailed replica of the critical joint connected to a beam model, to a complete shell model of the critical compression member and end connections. Phenomenological models of member behaviour, in this case a Marshall Strut representation, are also examined. Numerical results are compared with experimental data from two studies [1, 2]. It is found that detailed modelling of the joint stiffness is sufficient to accurately model the peak frame response, while a detailed model of the complete compression member, which includes cross section distortion, is needed to match the residual strength of the frame. Marshall strut elements are found to provide a robust solution, provided that the variables which describe the model can be defined with sufficient accuracy. Detailed modelling of the frame is also found to be able to provide the required input data for such special purpose elements.
