  8. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION Background • It is desired to use as thin a web panel as you can get by  elastic buckling becomes a major concern • In 1886, Wilson considered the possibility of utilizing postbuckling strength • In 1931, Wagner demonstrated the tension field action

  9. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION • A postbuckling mode shape of a super thin high strength wire is shown. • Although a considerable postbuckling strength is available at this stage of deformation, it is highly impractical to use in practical design.

  11. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION • There were no reliable analytical tools available to examine nonlinear behavior in the 1960s and 1970s. • Postbuckling is a very complex nonlinear response. • More than a dozen simplified and linearized models and their derivatives for the postbuckling behavior of web panels subjected to shear were a futile exercise. • The analysis of web panels has remained elusive for nearly 50 years and various researchers have agreed to disagree.

  14. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION • Both Basler and Rockey theories were calibrated with extensive test data. “Calibration=Finagling?” • The aspect ratio of those specimens were mostly equal to one. • The steel industry wants to increase the aspect ratio for economic reasons. • As the test data cannot be extrapolated, old design provisions stuck.

  26. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION • Since the moment of inertia of the transverse stiffener is proportional to the cube of the width of the stiffener, the width only needs to be increased to 1.8 times the old width [6^(1/3)=1.8]. • The placement of transverse stiffeners helps shipping and handling of the slender girders by making the girder torsionally stiff. Wider transverse stiffeners are beneficial to this concern.

  28. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION Conclusions • All previous tension field (postbuckling) models including those by Basler and Rockey were incorrect. All forces developed during postbuckling are in a self-equilibrating force system. • There is no net axial compressive force developed in an intermediate transverse stiffener. Hence, the current area requirement for a transverse stiffener is irrelevant. • There is no need to distinguish the end panel from the interior panel. Tension field action can take place in the end panel. • There is no truss action that takes place as suggested by Basler (American model).

  30. Auburn University MECHANICS OF DIAGONAL TENSION FIELD ACTION Conclusions (continued) • There is no need to have sturdy flanges present in order to develop tension field action as suggested by Rockey (British model ). • Transverse stiffeners need to have sufficient stiffnesses (moment of inertia) in order to form and maintain nodal lines during the history of postbuckling. • All design specifications regarding the tension field action, AISC, AASHTO, BS 5400, Eurocode 3, must be revised. • All current steel design textbooks in the world incorporating erroneous theories must be revised.
