Description
Summary:The analysis of the response of the statically undetermined truss girder in the process of the proportional loading is presented in this paper. Rigidity of the six-bar girder is selected by the draw of the profile bars among the assumed collection of the steel hot-rolled tubes. Two stadiums of exertion of the girder-elastic and non-elastic ones are considered. Each of these stadiums ends by plastification of the one of the tensile bars or buckling of the one of the bars in compression. Assuming some approximate assumptions, the possibilities are indicated for creating the statically determined three-bar structure and a passive part of the girder in the non-elastic stadium. Both the structure and the passive part can have two different forms depending on the drawn profiles of the bars. Each form of the structures has its own path of exertion to achieve the state of limit capacity. It depends which the active bar of the structure experiences plastification in stretching or buckling in compression. Some features are indicated during transforming the initial structure functioning in the elastic stadium into the structure proper to the non-elastic stadium. The algorithm of seeking the exertion paths in the general case is given. Each of the paths is characterized by the consistent states of forces in the active bars. Numerical examples are given on the base of the own elaborated computer program.[b]Keywords[/b]: limit state of structure, truss girder, bending buckling of bar in compression, elastic capacity, local fracture, global destroying
