Abstrait:

The present generation of international structural steel design codes treats material nonlinearity through simplified elastic-plastic or rigid-plastic material models. However, the actual stress–strain response of structural steel is more complex than this and features, in particular, strain hardening. Strain hardening refers to the increase in strength beyond yield because of plastic deformation. The influence of strain hardening on the behavior and design of steel structures is examined in this study through both the experimentation and the analysis of existing data, and a method to exploit the additional capacity that arises is outlined. Both determinate and indeterminate structures are considered. The proposed design method, referred to as the continuous strength method (CSM), is a deformation-based design approach employing a continuous relationship between cross-sectional slenderness and cross-sectional deformation capacity, together with a material model that allows for strain hardening. Comparisons are made between test results generated as part of the present study and collected from existing studies, and the predictions from the CSM and Eurocode 3 (EC3). For all cases considered, the CSM, through a rational exploitation of strain hardening, offers a more accurate prediction of observed physical behavior.
