    Experiments on Distortional Buckling of I-Beams Tadeh Zirakian' and Hossein Showkati, Ph.D? ‘Abstract: This paper describes a est program on flscale fabricated simply supported -beams with cena concentrated load and an effective lateral brace at the midspan ofthe top compression ange that was performed mainly with the aim of experimental verification and investigation of distortion in doubly sytametre Fsecion beams. The experimental ulimate loads were compared with the buckling loads ofthe specimens determined by using the so-called Southwell, Modified, and Massey extrapolation techniques, and in most ofthe cases very lite discrepancy was found between the maximum test and extrapolated loads. Morcover, the experimental Beam strengths ‘were compared withthe design strengths predicted by the American AISCILRFD and the Australian AS4100specifiations. Generally, the ‘0 specifications provide unconservative predictions inthe inelastic range of structural response as the beam length decreases snd inelastic behavior becomes mare intense, However, the AS#100 specification provides conservative predictions in comparison with the AISCILRED specification DOI: 10.1061 ASCE}O733-9445(2007)133:7(1009) CE Database subject headings | beams; Buckling: Distortion; Experimental dat; Structural design Introduction ‘A wide range of Lbeams with different sizes and restrsint ar rangements is used in constriction nowadays. The us pes of tbkling of ste! section beams assumed indesign ae local and Tateral-torsional buckling modes, However in fabricated and i termediate length F-beams, particularly those with slender webs, the focal and lateral buckles may combine to produce a coupled mode called lateral-disortional buckling, or simply distorional >uekling (Fig, 1), for which there is simultaneous distortion and deflection of the cross section (Bradford 1986). On the other hand, another mode of distortional buckling know as restrained distortion buckling may occur whenever one of the flanges of an beam is rested against ig cross-sectional movements, fe, the [shaped steel joist of composite bridge pitders with a fully rescted top lange, whose unrestricted botom flange may be subjected to signifleant compressive stesses inthe negative bending moment region snd wlimately becomes unstable, vss, and deflects out of plane while pulling the web as it buckles (onagh and Bradford 2001) as show in Fig. 2a) or an -beam with a concentrated load applied on its restrained compression ‘ange, whose web may be subjected to signiicant compressive stresses and undergo lateral buckling (MeCormac 1995) as shown in Fig. 20).

A proliferation of research work on distortional buckling of [beam hasbeen undertaken mainly over the last 25 yeas os, ‘mostly at the Universities of New South Wales and Sydney. A lucatment of I-section beams that included local, dstorional, and lateral modes of buckling was inally presented by Hancock (1978) and a few years later by Roberts and Shiva (1983). re- view paper cn the work undertaken prior tothe early 1990s was published by Bradford (1992). Generally systematic studies on Aistortional buckling of Lhcams were performed by Bradford and co-workers in different cass including monosymmetc, tapered, continuous, and resiained I-beams, cantilevers, beams on seat ‘Supports wid partial end restraints, ete. Experimental studies of | the phenomenon were also reported by Bradford (1990), Bradford and Wee (1994), and oer, In recent yeas, by resenting various ‘numerical mals researchers sch as Ng and Ronagh (2003), Poon and Ronagh (2004), and Sehafer and Adsiny (2005) have severally tried to analyze the distortionl buckling of Hbeams in fan efficient way Despite extensive theoretical studies of distortional buckling ‘of F-beams, lite experimental work is found inthe technical Ii results acqtired through theoretical stdies, more experimental distorted wob Fg. 1.
