Objectives of the lecture Errors in the design of structures and modern reconstruction • Introduction • History • Basic terms • Principlesof the design • Assessmentofstructures
Causesoffailures of steel structures - phases • Errors in design errors in theconceptional design ofthestructure errors in thedocumentation (calculations…) wrongselectionofconstructionalmaterials erros in solutionofconstructionaldetails wrongcalculation model (differentfromtherealbehaviour) • Fabrication, erection • Operation • corrosion • fatigue • hightemperature • Additionaltemperatureloading • Fire • accidentalevents
Causes of failures of steel structures - phenomenons • Underestimation of loading • Discrepancy of model and reality • Defective or inadequate material • Stability of compression members (or beams) • Stability of plates • Brittle fracture • Weak joints • Aerodynamics • Fatigue • Typically Failure = more than one cause
Causes of failures of steel structures - phenomenons Discrepancy of model and reality • Wrong selection of details, not correspondng to assumption (fixed/hinged) • Unconsidered eccentricity in joints • Different load application points • Omitted effects (torsion, secondary moments) • Non-considered reduction of cross-section
Tay bridge 1879 • Underestimation of load: wind load not considered • Bad material: piers – cast iron, bracing – wrought iron with slag • Train speed 60 km/h instead of 40 km/h
Tay bridge 1879 • Collapse in wind storm with train • 75 died

Collapse due to plate buckling • Vienna 1968 • Milford Haven (Wales) 1970 • West Gate Bridge (Melbourne) 1970 • 35 died • Koblenz (Germany) 1971 • Extensive research in 1970‘s • New codes with new procedures
Milford Haven (Wales) 1970 • Eccentric load of diaphragm • Imperfections • Insufficient stiffening of diaphragm capacity 50% of actions • 4 died
Koblenz 1971 • Buckling of unstiffened plate • 9 died
Failure of roof at Opatovice power station • Structure from 1957 • Main frame: fixed columns + truss girder, 27,5 m span • Collapse: 11/2002 • during reconstruction of roof • snow load • Original documentation: • Just part was found • Calculations missing
Failure of roof at Opatovice power stationCauses • Overloading by dead load • Additional layers of concrete, water-proofing layers • Originally under-dimensioned structure • Very poor quality of welds • Not-functional dilatation detail • collapse of whole roof
Reasons for refurbishment of steel structures • Malfunction of structure • Need of change • Increased loading • Bridges • Buildings • Change of use • Need of free space • Bridges – new clear profile • Other reasons, e.g.: • local situation (neighbour buildings) • war

Utilization of capacity reserves of structure • Detection and improvement of loading • Pernament loading • Climatic loading • Service loading • Real material properties • More precise calculation
Utilization of capacity reserves of structureMaterial properties • Tensile tests • Real fy, fu • Plastic reserve • Bi-linear stress-strain relation • MNA – plastic hinges
Utilization of capacity reserves of structureMore precise calculation • Calculation in accordance with • present knowledge • present (valid) codes • 3D complex models • Shell elements • Joints • Shell structures (silos, pipelines ...) • Interaction of elements • Connections • Semi-rigid connections – new standards enable to determine joint stiffness • Column bases • Stochastic methods of the reliability verification
Reinforcement • Reinforcement = adaptation to recoveroperationalfeatures; increaseloadingcapacity, reliability and serviceabilityofthestructure • Direct reinforcement – reinforced and reinforcing part constituteoneloadbearing element • Indirectreinforcement – reinforced and reinforcing part are constituted by separateloadbearingelements
Renovation • = arrangement ofstructuralpartsorthewholestructureafterextraordinaryevents and accidents Extension • = extensionofanexistingsectionofthestructure Replacement • = replacestheoriginalstructureor a section by a newstructurelinked to anexisting layout

Introduction • Steel structureshaveanimportant role in civil engineering • Since the end of the 18th century, first cast iron, then wrought steel and finally steelhasincreasingly been used as a construction material. • Gradually, as industrial processesprogressed, various steel products became available, (rolled members, cold-formedelements…). • From the beginning, the fields of application of structural steel material includedstructuressuch as: • - Buildings, • - Bridges (first bridge made of cast iron and built 1777-1779 near Coalbrookdale-UK) • - Industrialplants.

Historyofusingiron and steel • Cast iron • Wrought iron • since 1785 • until 1892 – 1905 • after 1905 onlyexceptionally • Mildsteel • since 1905
Cast iron • Fragile • Suitableforcompression, worseforbending • Highcontentsof C (2,1%) • Mechanicalproperties: • E ~ 100 000 MPa (N/mm2) • fu ~ 120 ÷ 140 MPa • Cast iron bridges • The use of cast iron for structural purposes began in the late 1770s, when Abraham Darby III built the Iron Bridgeinthevillage Ironbridge /renamed by thebridge/ (Shropshire, England)
Just a few years after the construction of the bridge, cracks were appearing in the masonry abutments, caused by ground movement. Some of the present-day cracks in the cast iron may date from this time, although others are probably casting cracks Cracked supports Crack and repairs in bridge
Wrought iron • Production • Temperature 1000oC doughy state • Low charge – 200-600 kg • Mechanical reduction of undesirable elements • Large scatter of mechanical properties • Layered anisotropic structure • Local defects
Wrought iron • Chemical composition • Large scatter • Lower contents of C • High contents of P (phosphorus) – could be problem • Problems • Uncertain weldeability • Low strength through thickness Lamelar tearing
Wrought iron • Mechanical properties in rolling direction • E = 180 000 ÷ 200 000 MPa (N/mm2) • fy ~ 230 MPa (mean) • fu ~ 340 ÷ 370 MPa • Lower ductility but still sufficient

Mild steel • Production • Liquidstate • Largercharges • Since 1905 propertiessimilar to presentsteel • E = 210 000 MPa • fy , fusimilar to present S235 (Fe360) • calledalsoCarbon steel (≤2.1% carbon; low alloy)
Properties of material • Timeofconstruction Type ofmaterial • How to determine: • fromdocumentation (rarely) verification by testsisrecommended • usingtests • Mechanicalpropertiesof iron/steel are NOT timedepending(exceptfatigue)
FIRST STEEL STRUCTURE - Forth Bridge The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the rivernamedFirth of Forth in the east of Scotland, to the east of the Forth Road Bridge, and 14 kilometres west of central Edinburgh. It was opened on 4 March 1890.
