Analysis of flange impact on critical patch load of thin-walled I-girdersA numerical analysis of the flange impact on the critical load level of thin-walled I-girders subjected to patch load with special emphasis on the influence of shear stress in the zone of transverse stiffeners and shear stress at the flange-web junction on the girders response, is presented in this paper. The analysis is done by forming a 3D model in Abaqus software based on the finite element method, through variation of flange to web thickness ratio. 2D numerical models of girders web as isolated plate are also created. Matching of the 2D numerical results with results of existing analytical model, is the real basis for the expected accuracy of the 3D model.

Analiza je provedena formiranjem 3D modela u programskom paketu Abaqus na temelju metode konačnih elemenata, varirajući odnos debljine pojasnica prema debljini hrpta. Podudaranje rezultata 2D numeričkih modela hrpta nosača kao izdvojene ploče s rezultatima postojećeg analitičkog modela predstavlja realnu osnovu na kojoj se temelji očekivana točnost 3D modela.
