AbstractThe steel structure under the action of alternating load for a long time is prone to fatigue failure and affects the safety of the engineering structure. For steel structures in complex environments such as corrosive media and fires, the remaining fatigue life is more difficult to predict theoretically. To this end, the article carried out fatigue tests on Q420qD high-performance steel cross joints under three different working conditions, established a 95% survival rate $$S{ - }N$$ S - N curves, and analyzed the effects of corrosive media and high fire temperatures on its fatigue performance. And refer to the current specifications to evaluate its fatigue performance. The results show that the fatigue performance of the cross joint connection is reduced under the influence of corrosive medium, and the fatigue performance of the cross joint connection is improved under the high temperature of fire. When the number of cycles is more than 200,000 times, the design curves of EN code, GBJ code, and GB code can better predict the fatigue life of cross joints without treatment, only corrosion treatment, and corrosion and fire treatment, and all have sufficient safety reserve.

With the increased demand for high-rise and long-span structures, high strength with high performance steels have been utilized for these kind of structures. For the grade 800MPa high performance steel, although it was included in Korean Standard as high strength steel(HSA 800), however the HSA 800 steel was excluded in Korean Building Code-Structures due to the rack of research results for the structural behaviors of members fabricated with HSA 800 steel. Therefore, this paper describes basic study for the design specification of structural members using HSA 800 high performance steel. For this purpose, welded H-shaped stub column specimens with various width-to-thickness ratios were designed and tested in order to investigate the buckling behaviors and ultimate compressive strength.

<p>New steel production processes have led to a remarkable improve­ment in steel products within the last few years, and now allows steels to be produced according to the desired mechanical and chemical properties. High-Performance Steel (HPS) is the designa­tion given to this new generation of steels that offer higher performance not only in terms of strength but also toughness, weld­ability, cold formability and corrosion resistance, compared to the traditionally used mild steel grades.</p> <p>The development of HPS goes with today's increased demand for slender lightweight structures, as for example in bridge design and the design of high-rise buildings, where there is a strong require­ment to use high-strength materials in combination with good execution and fabrication properties. However, on the structural engineering side there is a need for knowledge on these new steel grades, and quite often design codes do not provide sufficient information to fully exploit the advantageous properties of HPS.</p> <p>The present volume provides an overview of the development and application of HPS on an international level. This is done by giving information on, for example, the production process, the chemical and mechanical properties, the relevant design and fabrication standards and on recent research results. Approximately fifteen included examples of realised applications aim to provide detailed information based on existing technical solutions, and to point out the major benefits when using HPS in comparison to mild steels.</p> <p>The document is thus not a monograph but an assembly of contri­butions from different countries. lt is separated into chapters related to different countries, namely the USA, Canada, Japan and Europe, all of them providing a state-of-the-art report on HPS.</p>

Abstract Although in the last decades the applicable regulations for the design of steel structures have been deeply improved accounting for modern design approaches and technologies, in a few industrial fields, concepts and formulations derived from centuries-old experience are even nowadays the governing rule. This very often limits the potential offered by the technological innovations in high-performance material, such as quenched and tempered (QT) steels. After having verified in the scientific literature, in the commercial one and in several open material databases that some main data necessary to the comprehensive characterization of QT steel used in building large metal structures are lacking, an extensive experimental campaign was undertaken to achieve an updated and specific fatigue strength characterization for certain types of materials. The aim is to overcome the strict requirements of current regulations on the application of both parent QT materials and welded homogeneous and heterogeneous joints between different steel strength. The experimental campaign allowed filling the knowledge gap as well as providing further understanding whether the use of high-strength steel is effective in the improvement of performances of large steel structures, whose fabrication procedures are typical of building sites rather than workshops. Their extensive application in current building practice is expected to be highly beneficial in terms of weight and costs.

A new type of high performance steel (HPS), designated WGJ steel, with high strength as well as improved fire and corrosion resistance, was recently developed by Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Company. This paper investigated the lateral-torsional buckling behavior of beams fabricated of WGJ steel through experimental and numerical analysis. Welded I-section beams were tested under concentrated loads, which indicated that lateral-torsional buckling was the dominant failure mode. A finite element model was established and validated by the experimental results. Parametric analyses were conducted to further understand the effect of steel strength on the lateral-torsional buckling capacity of steel beams. The numerical results were compared with design values obtained from the clauses in Eurocode 3 and GB50017. It is found that the design equations in GB50017 give less safe margins for the overall stability design of welded I-section beams fabricated of WGJ high performance steel, whereas Eurocode 3 appears to be more conservative in all conditions.
