| Abstract: |
Modern architecture requires transparent and slender structural elements for columns. Usually, flexural buckling is the dominant failure mode of steel columns. If flexural buckling can be suppressed, the full yield stress may be utilized. Then, it makes sense to use high-strength steel. In this paper, a slender transparent glass supported steel high-strength steel column is designed, tested and numerically analysed. It consists of a 32 mm diameter Dywidag steel bar restrained against flexural buckling by four heat strengthened float glass panes, thus having sufficient redundancy allowing for a glass pane to break without column failure. The glass panes are connected to the steel bar by sliding steel sleeves avoiding direct stresses due to axial column deformation to occur in the glass panes. The column is one story high with slightly shorter glass panes keeping them free from roof and floor. The paper shows the feasibility of the glass supported high-strength steel column. |
