1 Notes on Frame Bucklg irk Marti University of Virgia Sprg 00 Introduction The followg notes clude several examples of simple frame bucklg problems which illustrate some of the assumptions and limitations of designg columns frames usg alignment charts. The examples emphasize the pot that when a column is part of a frame with moment-resistg connections, the column no longer buckles as an isolated element. Bucklg must be understood as a frame-wide phenomenon. The examples are based on computer models usg the Arcade program. The model files are cluded with this package and each example identifies the file name. It should be useful to run the model and see the behavior as you read the example. Draft: April 7, 001 [1 of 9]

2 Example 1: Braced frame with uniform beams and columns Figure 1.1. Square frame with uniform properties. (col-buckle-frame/example-1 ksi ( 9000 ( 10 ( 0.77( 10 Figure 1.1 shows an Arcade model of a frame with the followg properties. column height = bay width = 10 ft. E = 9,000 ksi I col = I bm = 10 Pcr = = = 335 Each column is modeled with six elements a straight configuration, each beam is modeled with two elements. Referrg to figure C-C. of the AISC LRFD code [AISC 001, p ], the G ratio for top and bottom of each column is 1.0, sce the columns and beams have equal moment of ertia and length. From the alignment chart, the effective length factor k = The bucklg load for each column is then Runng the Arcade model of this example shows that the frame buckles at a load of 3 kips, which corresponds to an effective length factor of 0.76, quite close to the value of 0.77 taken from the alignment chart. Values from the chart are clearly approximate given the way that numbers are read from the logarithmic scale. The followg discussion and example Arcade models illustrate a few important pots about frame bucklg and the base assumptions of the alignment chart. Draft: April 7, 001 [ of 9]

3 Alignment charts assume beams braced frames buckle sgle curvature. One of the base assumptions of the alignment charts for braced frames is that end moments of the beams are equal magnitude, producg sgle curvature bendg [AISC 001, p ]. This sgle curvature bendg of girders is clear the deflected model. Figure 1.. Buckled shape of square frame with uniform properties. (col-buckle-frame/example-1 Alignment charts assume columns buckle simultaneously. Figure 1.3 shows the same frame with a different load distribution. The right column is loaded with 00 kips, significantly less than the column s critical load of 3 kips, while the left column is load to 370 kips, 8 percent more than the critical load. Sce the right column is loaded below its critical load, some of its stiffness is available to resist the overall bucklg of the frame, which allows the left column to carry more than its critical bucklg load. Figure 1.3. When one column is loaded below the critical load of 3 kips, the other column can be loaded above the critical load without bucklg (col-buckle-frame/example-1a In this respect, the alignment charts are conservative, because it is unlikely that all columns a real frame would receive the Euler bucklg load simultaneously. Draft: April 7, 001 [3 of 9]

4 Alignment charts assume that the beams are not compression. Figure 1. shows the same frame with 100-kip compression forces added to each beam. With that compression force, the frame buckles when the vertical loads reach 300 kips, about 1% less than when the beams are not compression. Figure 1.. When the girders are compression, the columns buckle at a lower load than the alignment chart predicts. (col-buckle-frame/example-1b In this respect, the alignment charts are not conservative, because it is possible that some beams would have compression, dependg on the nature of the loadg. In cases where there is significant compression the girders, it would be appropriate to use the alignment charts alone without accountg for the compression. Draft: April 7, 001 [ of 9]

5 Example : Braced frame with stiffer columns Figure.1 shows an Arcade model of a frame similar to that of example 1, except that the moment of ertia for the columns has been doubled (dicated graphically the model by drawg the columns wider. Figure.1. Square frame with colums stiffer than beams. (col-buckle-frame/example- The properties of the frame are as follows: column height = bay width = 10 ft. E = 9,000 ksi I col = 10 I bm = 0 The alignment chart G ratio for top and bottom of each column is.0, sce the columns and beams have equal length, but the columns have twice as much moment of ertia. From the alignment chart, the effective length factor k = The bucklg load for each column is then ksi ( 9000 ( 0 Pcr = = = 5 ( 0.855( 10 Runng the Arcade model of this example shows that the frame buckles at a load of 558 kips, which corresponds to an effective length factor of 0.8, aga reasonably close considerg the approximation volved readg the scale. The key pot of this example is the followg: Figure.. Buckled frame. (col-buckle-frame/example- Doublg the stiffness of the columns alone does not double the bucklg load. Doublg the moment of ertia of the columns creased the bucklg load of the Arcade model from 3 kips to 558 kips, an crease of 63%. The crease bucklg load was not proportional to the crease moment of ertia because creasg the moment of ertia changed the buckled shape. The stiffer columns impose greater rotations on the beams, movg the column flection pots farther apart and creasg the column s effective length. This crease effective length reduces bucklg resistance and counteracts the additional resistance provided by the creased moment of ertia. To double the bucklg load, it is necessary to double the moment of ertia of both the columns and the beams. Draft: April 7, 001 [5 of 9]

6 Example 3: Unbraced frame Figure 3.1 shows an Arcade model of a frame similar to that of example 1, except that the frame is no longer braced agast sidesway. The properties of the frame are as follows: column height = bay width = 10 ft. E = 9,000 ksi I col = I bm = 10 Figure 3.1. Square frame not braced agast sidesway. (col-buckle-frame/example-3 The alignment chart G ratio for top and bottom of each column is 1.0. From the alignment chart for sidesway unhibited, the effective length factor k = 1.3. The bucklg load for each column is then P = = cr ksi ( 9000 ( 10 ( 1.3( 10 = 11 Runng the Arcade model of this example shows that the frame buckles at a load of 116 kips, which corresponds to an effective length factor of 1.31 The key pot of this example is the followg: Allowg sidesway significantly reduces the bucklg load. For the braced case the column bucklg load was 3 kips, compared with 116 kips for the unbraced case. The bucklg load for the unbraced frame is 3% of the bucklg load for the braced frame: an extremely significant reduction. Figure.. Buckled frame. (col-buckle-frame/example-3 Alignment charts assume beams of unbraced frames buckle double curvature. One of the base assumptions of the alignment charts for unbraced frames is that the end moments of the beams are equal magnitude, producg double curvature bendg [AISC 001, p ]. This double curvature bendg of girders is clear the deflected model. Draft: April 7, 001 [6 of 9]

7 Example : Unbraced frame with stiffer columns Figure.1 shows an Arcade model of a frame similar to that of example 3, except that the moment of ertia for the columns has been doubled (dicated graphically the model by drawg the columns wider. The properties of the frame are as follows: column height = bay width = 10 ft. E = 9,000 ksi I col = 0 I bm = 10 The alignment chart G ratio for top and bottom of each Figure.1. Square frame with column is.0, sce the columns and beams have equal columns twice as stiff as beams. length, but the columns have twice as much moment of (col-buckle-frame/example- ertia. From the alignment chart, the effective length factor k = The bucklg load for each column is then ksi ( 9000 ( 0 Pcr = = = 159 ( 1.58( 10 Runng the Arcade model of this example shows that the frame buckles at a load of 159 kips. The key pot of this example is the followg: In an unbraced frame, creasg the moment of ertia of columns alone has less effect than on a braced frame. In this unbraced frame example, doublg the moment of ertia of the columns creased the bucklg load from 116 kips to 159 kips, an crease of 37 percent. Recall the braced frame that when the column stiffness was doubled, the bucklg load of the frame crease 63 percent. Increasg the column stiffness is clearly less effective the sway frame than the non-sway frame. Figure.. Buckled frame. (col-buckle-frame/example- The difference between the braced and unbraced case concerns the effect of creasg column stiffness on effective length. In both cases, creasg the column stiffness leads to an crease effective length. This crease effective length Draft: April 7, 001 [7 of 9]

8 decreases bucklg resistance, which offsets the crease bucklg resistance provided by the stiffer column; this is why doublg the column stiffness does not double the bucklg load. But, the braced case there is a limit to the crease effective length that occurs when the column is stiffened. As the column moment of ertia creases, the effective length approaches 1.0. For the case of an extremely stiff column a braced frame, doublg the column stiffness nearly will double the bucklg load. In contrast, the unbraced case, there is no limit to the effective length. As column stiffness is creased, the effective length contues to crease without limit so that creases column stiffness produce dimishg returns the crease bucklg resistance. Figure.3 shows the buckled shape of the frame from figure.1 where the column stiffness has been quadrupled (I col = 10, I bm = 0. The alignment chart G ratio for top and bottom of each column is.0. From the alignment chart, the effective length factor k =.0. The bucklg load for each column is then P = = cr ksi ( 9000 ( 0 (.0( 10 = 195 Figure.3. Buckled shape where columns are four times stiffer than girders. (col-buckle-frame/example-a The Arcade model buckles at approximately 193 kips. The deflected shape shown the figure makes clear that the bucklg results primarily from the deformation of the beams rather than the columns, which rotate as nearly rigid bodies. Summary Assumptions of alignment charts: Alignment charts assume columns buckle simultaneously. If some columns a frame a loaded below their Euler bucklg load, then other columns the frame may be able to carry more than their Euler bucklg load. In this respect, the alignment charts are conservative, because it is unlikely that all columns a real frame would receive the Euler bucklg load simultaneously. Alignment charts assume that the beams are not compression. When beams are compression, it reduces the effectiveness of the beams restrag column end rotation, and the columns buckle at a lower load. In this respect, the alignment charts are not conservative, because it is possible that some beams could have compression, dependg on the nature of the loadg. In cases where there is significant compression the beams, it would be appropriate to use the alignment charts alone. Draft: April 7, 001 [8 of 9]

9 General frame behavior In a frame with moment-resistg connections, bucklg is a phenomenon of the complete frame-column assembly. When a column a moment-connected frame buckles, other members connected to the column also buckle, so the bucklg of the column cannot be considered isolation. This is why doublg the stiffness of the columns alone does not double the column bucklg load. Allowg sidesway significantly reduces the bucklg load. In the example problems, comparg braced and unbraced versions of frames with equal dimensions and members found that the bucklg load of the unbraced version was 3% that of the braced version. Bucklg is a much greater consideration unbraced frames that braced. In an unbraced frame, creasg the moment of ertia of columns alone the does little to crease bucklg resistance. In an unbraced frame, as the stiffness of the columns is creased, the effective length of the column also creases without limit, so there are dimishg gas bucklg resistance with creases column stiffness. In the design of an unbraced frame, the stiffness of beams and frames should be considered together. Stiffeng beams may often be the most effective way to crease the bucklg resistance of an unbraced frame. Draft: April 7, 001 [9 of 9]
