DEVELOPMENT OF NEURAL NETWORK MODELS TO ESTIMATE LATERAL-DISTORTIONAL BUCKLING RESISTANCE OF CELLULAR STEEL BEAMS
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of cellular steel girders that were subjected to web distortion was rarely examined. Since no formulation has been presented for predicting the capacity of such beams, in the current paper an extensive numerical investigation containing 660 specimens was modeled using finite element analysis (FEA) to consider the ultimate lateral-distortional buckling (LDB) strength of such members. Then, a reliable algorithm based on the artificial neural networks (ANNs) was developed and the most accurate model was chosen to derive an efficient formula to evaluate the LDB capacity of steel cellular beams. The input and target data required in the ANN models were provided using the ANN analyzes. An attempt was made to include the proposed formula in all the variables affecting the LDB of cellular steel beams. In the next step, the validity of the proposed formula was proved by several statistical criteria, and also the most influential input variable was discussed. eventually, a comparison study was executed between the results provided by the ANN-based equation and the AS4100, EC3, and AISC codes. It was revealed that the presented equation is accurate enough and can be used by practical engineers.

Distortional Buckling Tests on Cold-Formed Steel Beams
Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, distortional buckling may be the predominant failure mode. Experimental results on cold-formed steel beams with unrestrai...
متن کاملLateral and distortional buckling ofpultruded I - beams Ever
The elastic buckling modes of pultruded I-beams subjected to various loading conditions are studied. The coupling of lateral and distortional buckling, very likely to appear in thin-walled cross-sections, is investigated. Plate theory is used to allow for distortion of the cross-section. Shear effects and bendingt\\isting coupling are accounted for in the analysis, because of their significant ...

متن کاملLocal and Distortional Buckling of Cold-Formed Steel Members
Laminar structures have a high post-buckling strength reserve. Cold-formed steel profiles can be taken as a set of thin plate elements. Therefore it is necessary to design this type of profiles taking into account that reserve of strength in post-local buckling modes of failure. The method normally used to design this type of structures is based on the Effective Width concept. The Effective Wid...
