Abstract:
The interactive buckling behavior of aluminum alloy square tubes, characterized by low density and excellent corrosion resistance, under axial and eccentric compression was comprehensively investigated. Eleven 6063-T5 thin-walled aluminum alloy square tubular column specimens with different lengths, widths, and thicknesses were designed to undergo axial and eccentric compression tests. Subsequently, the failure modes and buckling resistances were analyzed. Finite element models, validated by the experimental results, were employed for parameter analysis to further investigate the effects of slenderness ratio, width-to-thickness ratio, and eccentricity on interactive buckling resistance. As the slenderness ratio increases, the influence of local buckling on the resistances decreases, and the specimen suffers overall buckling before the local buckling. Through a comparative analysis of the design methods for aluminum alloy structures in the Chinese code, the Eurocode, and the American code, it was found that the Chinese code and the Eurocode yield relatively conservative results, while the method in the American code overestimates the interactive buckling resistance of components. Based on the above codes, the design formulas for axial and eccentric interactive buckling resistance were modified to more precisely predict the buckling resistance of aluminum alloy square tubes considering interactive buckling effects.
