Abstract
In order to study the influence of welding residual stress on the global stability of box section steel column, the simulation of the side effects from the welding process of Q345 box section steel column by ABAQUS thermal-structure coupling analysis was conducted. A temperature-displacement explicit analysis step was established, and the residual stress caused by the temperature difference of the welding specimen was simulated by applying the body heat flux directly to the solid element within the same thickness range of the weld seam and defining the load amplitude; The calculated welding residual stress was taken as the initial defect of the structure and the global stable bearing capacity of the box section steel column was solved by the arc length method. Considering the influence of thickness and welding residual stress on the global stability of box section steel column, the calculation results of 12 finite element models were compared. The results show that under the same body heat flux, the residual stress of steel columns with different thicknesses during welding is different, and the maximum value can reach 791MPa; Under the condition of the same residual stress, the global stability bearing capacity of the box section steel column will also change irregularity with the change of thickness, and the global stability bearing capacity can be reduced by 3.07% compared with that no residual stress.
