Full Scale Buckling Testing of Radiused Corrugated Structural Plate.

FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-06

Summary
The research will allow the design Ultra-Cor® (UC) structures with spans 30m-40m compliant with CSA-S6. The code allows for buckling using FEA as opposed to code equations, but currently we do not have the calibration data needed to fully exploit this allowance. The primary design variable used in this approach is the radius of the plate with large radius plates having reduced resistance to global buckling. With UC pushing for flatter radii and longer spans, global buckling is more and more becoming the governing failure mechanism of designs. The goal of this research project is to better understand the global buckling behaviour of UC and develop a design approach calibrated for UC to leverage situations where global buckling governs.

Description
The research will allow the design Ultra-Cor® (UC) structures with spans 30m-40m compliant with CSA-S6. The code allows for buckling using FEA as opposed to code equations, but currently we do not have the calibration data needed to fully exploit this allowance. The primary design variable used in this approach is the radius of the plate with large radius plates having reduced resistance to global buckling. With UC pushing for flatter radii and longer spans, global buckling is more and more becoming the governing failure mechanism of designs. The goal of this research project is to better understand the global buckling behaviour of UC and develop a design approach calibrated for UC to leverage situations where global buckling governs.
Description (French)
La recherche permettra de concevoir des structures Ultra-Cor® (UC) avec des portées de 30 à 40 mètres conformes à la norme CSA-S6. Le code autorise le flambement en utilisant l’analyse par éléments finis plutôt que les équations du code, mais nous ne disposons pas actuellement des données d’étalonnage nécessaires pour exploiter pleinement cette possibilité. La principale variable de conception utilisée dans cette approche est le rayon de la plaque, les plaques à grand rayon ayant une résistance réduite au flambage global. L’UC préconisant des rayons plus plats et des portées plus longues, le flambage global devient de plus en plus le mécanisme de défaillance qui régit les conceptions. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de mieux comprendre le comportement du flambage global de l’UC et de développer une approche de conception calibrée pour l’UC afin de tirer parti des situations où le flambage global est déterminant.
