Analysis of the functional state of flanged joints

Abstract

This article discusses related aspects of the formation and provision of the functional quality of the load-bearing elements of frame systems. The subject of the study is the analysis of the state of steel structures with the possible manifestation of violations of the shape of structural elements in flanged joints. The formation and provision of the functional qualities of metal structures and their connections is carried out at all main stages of the life cycle. The scientific hypothesis consists in the assumption that the analysis of the parameters of the stress-strain state in metal structures, characterized by the presence of deviations from the established indicators of functional quality, contributes to an accurate assessment of the parameters of the state and service life. The conditions and circumstances characterizing the possibility of loss of functional qualities of flanged joints of steel structures are determined. A block diagram of the analysis of risks associated with manifestations of the shrinkage distortion of flanges, which reduce the operational reliability of steel structures, has been developed. It is advisable to supplement the methodological basis for the development of design solutions for steel structure units with a forecast (modeling) of the state and operational suitability of a flange connection in the presence of shrinkage distortion of flanges. The results of the analysis of possible states of loss of bearing capacity using a predictive model will contribute to the development of rational parameters of labor intensity and material consumption of manufacturing flanges of steel structures.
