19 Hybrid girder -numerical example- Web: mild steel S355: f y = 351 MPa; f u = 521 MPa; A = 27.8 %: f u /f y = 1.48 Flanges: high Strength Steel - S700: f y = 698 MPa; f u = 784 MPa; A = 17.5 %: f u /f y = Nominal stress (MPa) S700 S Nominal strain (% )

20 Geometry of the cross-section Cross-sections slenderness is bellow the limit for class 1: S355 ( = 0.81): Web: 72 = 58.3 S700 ( = 0.58): Flanges: 9 = 5.2 Two cases are considered: With continous lateral restraint With lateral restraint only at the mid-span c/t = 4.4 c/t = 37.3

21 Compact cross seciton behavior With continous lateral restraint Force (kn) Continual lateral restrained Restrained at the mid-span Initial stiffness Deflection (mm) With lateral restraint only at the mid-span

23 Hybrid girders - Partial yielding in the web will occur but the girder will still show a repeatable behaviour. - If the yield strength of the flanges is not more than twice that of the web the yielding can be neglected in serviceability limit state. - Easy fabrication of hybrid girders is no problem; matching electrodes can be met up to S Hybrid girders are more economical; Limit f yfl <2 f yw for serviceability reasons, as shown in experimental verification 23

24 Fatigue Fatigue rules in EN endurance independent of the steel grade Improved fatigue endurance by: - post-weld treatment - improved detailing - improved welding procedures

25 Post weld treatment -joints suitable/non suitable for improvements-

26 Remove or reduce size of flow in a weld toe - Burr grinding Post-welding measures - changing of geometry TIG dressing

27 Post-welding measures - introduction of compressive residual stresses- - Hammer peening, compressive residual stresses are induced by repeatedly hammering the weld toe region with a blunt-nosed chisel. Need peening

28 Post-welding measures - introduction of compressive residual stresses - High Frequency Impact Treatmant Limits: - Plate thickness max 15 mm - R=0.1 (Max R=0,5) - Max stress 0,8 fy

31 Why High Strength Steel? Reduced costs due to: Less material (but more expensive) Less welding (thinner plates) Less painting (smaller area) Lower transport costs Reduced weight allows higher payload. Reduced environmental impact due to less material for a given function. ATS Paris

32 Obstacles and solutions Too high deformations -» precamber, composite action Fatigue resistance too low -» improved detailing, post weld treatment Local buckling -» Stiffening by cold formed folds Availability -» Increased use will increase production ATS Paris

59 Summering Största utmaningarna för högpresterande stål i stora konstruktioner är fogning och stabilitet. Begränsningar inom Eurokoder gällande högpresterande stål, det saknas experimentella underlag för att förbättra regler. Mer arbete krävs för att överbrygga glappet mellan kunskaperna kring högpresterande stål och de konstruktionsregler som används. Det krävs större informations spridning till verkstäder om hur materialet ska behandlas. Samarbete mellan verkstäder, konstruktörer och forskning är nödvändiga för att använda konstruktionslösningar som är lämpliga för verkstäder. 59
