简介：基于国内厚度不大于2mm的S350冷轧薄钢板材性数据、冷弯薄壁型钢构件几何尺寸数据及已完成的轴压、偏压、受弯构件承载力试验数据,对厚度不大于2mm的S350超薄壁冷弯型钢构件的材料强度不定性、几何特性不定性、计算模式不定性进行了分析.采用JC法,按现有规范的抗力分项系数计算了各类基本构件在不同可能荷载组合下的可靠指标,并根据可靠度分析结果,提出了对现有规范承载力计算值的建议修正方法.结果表明:对于厚度不大于2mm的S350超薄壁冷弯型钢构件,当翼缘宽厚比满足规范要求时,按现有规范的抗力分项系数计算得到的轴压构件可以满足目标可靠度的要求,偏压构件的可靠指标低于目标可靠指标,受弯构件的可靠指标略低于目标可靠度.按建议方法计算偏压构件的承载力时,偏压构件的可靠指标大于目标可靠指标.最后给出了厚度不大于2mm的S350超薄壁冷弯型钢构件的强度设计指标建议值.

简介：网壳结构的挠度与多种因素有关,对不同几何因素的敏感性也有差异.实际结构中,杆件截面规格和几何尺寸由于材料制造和施工安装的原因,存在与设计不完全相符的随机误差,这些随机误差对结构刚度的影响通常难以确定.基于可靠度原理及有限元方法,对单层网壳结构进行了挠度敏感性因素分析并编制了Matlab程序.通过对一个K8型单层网壳几何因素,如跨度、矢高、杆件壁厚和初始几何缺陷等的挠度可靠度对比分析,得出了杆件壁厚为决定挠度主要因素的结论,并从随机变量敏感度和变量统计特征两方面,得出了矢高较跨度对变形可靠度指标影响更为敏感的结论.
