SYNOPSIS • The scope of the investigation upon which this report is based was to determine whether residual stresses set up during cooling appreciably reduce the strength of compression members of structural steel and, if s-o, to find methods for predicting this reduction with satisfactory engineering accuracy. The report shows that the strength of axially loaded columns of 8 WF 31 shape cannot be determined from results of small coupon tests but that due consideration must be given to residual stresses. The theories described give adequate explana- tion of experimental behavior. of steel is also reported • . , Data on the compressive properties -2 220A.g ., .. II. I N T ROD U C T ION For years the strength of metal columns has been computed on the basis of the stress-strain curve. Such curves have been determined from coupons cut from the cross-sections of rolled shapes. In cutting these coupons, residual stresses (sometimes called "locked Upll or "initial l ! stresses) have been reJ.eased so that the measured stress-stJ:'ain curves have necessarily omitted any possible influence of residual stress. The strength of axialJ.y loaded columns free from residual stresses is given by the tan~ent modulustheory(IS). To apply the theory it is only necessary to have information 6n the compressive stress-strain relation in order to obtain the com- . plate licolumn curve" of stress plotted against slenderness. ratio . As numerous tests have shown*, this procedure permits the prediction of column strength for annealed material. Differences between theory and experiment can be attributed to such causes as initial curvature and eccentricity and both can be kept small in carefully conducted laboratory tests. When small coupons are tested ~.n compression the re- sulting stress-strain diagram approaches an idealized curve consistj.ng of. two straight lines, one at a slope equal to the elastic modulus E, the other ho~izontal (average stress in the plastic range). at the yield stress level With such a curve it would seem that the tangent modulus theory was of little value in the case of structural steel. A consideration of residual stresses, however, shows its applicability. * 3~e p. 20 of Reference 6. . -3 220A.9 1. The Nature of Residual stress Residual stresses are those that are left,in a member after it has been formed into a finished product. steel, residual stress . a. ~ay In structural be due to several causes: Uneven cooling of shapes immediately after hot rolling. b. Fabrication operations such as cold-bending ("gaging"), punching, shearing~ cambering and weJ.ding. Only the first type (cooling residual stress) is considered in this paper. The mechanism for the formation of cooling residual stresses has already been described (4, 16,1~8). The flange tips (which cool the most rapidly) are left in compression while the flange Qenter is left in tension. As a general rule, the part of the member cooling most slowly will be left in residual Fig. 1 tension~ indicates a typical shape of residual stress pattern. It was observed in tests at Lehigh that yielding in the flanges of WF sections started at lower loads than theoretically predicted; therefore measurements of residual stresses were made (11). These measurements and later experimental work , on beams of WF shapes (18) confirmed beyond doubt the presence of residual stress. .. , Magnitudes of compressive residual stress up to 20,000 psi have been observed in as-delivered rolled steel bpame. (12) -4 220A,g 2. .•. ... Influence of Residual stress From the nature of residual stres~es it can be seen that their presence has a definite influence upon the over-all stress-strain relation of structural steel. By partial yielding of a cross-section under an applied uniform stress below the "nominal" yield point, increased strains result in the remaining elastic parts of the cross-section, thus making the stressstrain relationship non-linear. Assuming the "applicability of the tangent-modulus concept there will be a consequent influence of residual stress upon column strength. The influence of residual stresses on bending members and on • colt~ns has been briefly described in Reference 9 and more extensively in Reference 18 .. In brief, referring to Fig. 2,. if a compressive residual stresss of magnitude O'rc were present at the flange tips, then yielding would commence when O'p = O'y - O'rc The over-all stress-strain relationship for a column would thereafter be non-linear: but With sufficient straining the average stress would reach yield-point magnitude. Thus, the influence of residual stress in columnS is to make the stress-strain relationship non-linear above a residualproportional limit, O'p. Assuming the applicability of the tangent-modulus concept) there will be a consequent influonce ort column strength. This is illustrated in Fig. 3, the right-hand sketch being the familiar column curve. Why aren I t these stresses Wiped out yields?

This discussion shows that the following is necessary: a. Develop methods for predicting the strength of columns containing resiqual stress. b. Examine experimental techniques for the proper correlation with theory and for routine laboratory use. c• With this in hand, examine current specifications and formulas to determine whether present design rules require modification either for safety or economy. These considerations led to the program here reported. 3. Approach to the Problem As reported by Salmon (14) in 1921, as early as 1888, it was recognized that ('previous strains" were of direct in..., fluence upon the strength of columns. Although other sources of llinitial stresses" were mentioned, stresses set up du,e to cooling aftGr rolling were not discussed by Salmon. He notes that !:qonsidere suggested using test pieces that had undergone exactly the same processes as the member itself"-- and this was one apprca8h used in the investigation reported in this paper. 220A·9 -6 Recognition of the role of residual stresses is a con- .' tribution of, the Column Research Council (8) • was established in an effort to remove the confusion and lack which organization of harmony in column formulas in many specifications now in use. Bruce Johnston was active in efforts to initiate studies of residual stress influence. In 1946 a Research Committee of Column Research Council stated the following as one of their recommendations for further research: "Rolled sections, sections built up by welding, and sections fabricated by bolting or riveting generally have mateJ:'ial residual stresses, both compression and tension, in the member. ,. In addition, the member may have residual moments and shears incident to relative deformations in the fabrication of the structure of which the member is a part. The effect of these residual stresses on the strength of compression members is subject to question". Research carried out at th~ University of Illinois on the influence of welding residual stresses, was reported upon in 1935(17). Cooling stresses were not studied in that investigation which involved the study of bui,lt-up members. More re- cently studies have been conducted on model members with artifi- . clally-induced residual stresses. Test results were reported* which show a substantial reduction in strength residual stresses. * attributab~.e to Recently osgood(l3) has discussed the S., Cherry, P. Y. Chow, and W.J. Austin, "Experimental Studies of Model Columns ll , Structural Research Series No. 34, University of Illinois, July 1952. -7 220A.9 general problem of residual stresses in columns. 11, At Lehigh the problem has been investigated for steel columns(18). Based on those investigations this paper outlines two approaches for • a solution of the problem and its application to WF structural steel columns. The agreement between the two methods is very close and in addition is corroborated for 8 WF 31 sections by column tests. The first method is an analytical solution requiring (1) a knowledge of resid~aJ_ stress distribution (measured or assumed) and (2) the material properties (modulus of elasticity, yield stress level). As shown by the Lehigh study(l8) the strength of the column can be expressed as a function of the moment of inertia of the unyielded portion of the cross-section (elastic moment of inertia, Ie) and the slenderness ratio. The second method involves an analytical solution and requ:i,res only one measurement: the average stress-strain relation determined from a short member of sufficient length to retain the original magnitude of residual stresses. This is called the "cross..:.section" test since it involves testing the complete cross-section of the specimen. Column strength can be expressed as a function of the tangent modulus obtained from the stress-strain curve of the "cross-section specimen" and the ... slenderness ratio with due allowance for bending about the ' strong or weak axis. This second method does not require the special measurement of residual stresses. ' -8 220A.9 4. Compressive Strength of Steel Up to this point attention has been directed to the influence of residual stresses. Of considerable additional importance is the basic strength of steel in compression, or more particularly the yiela stress level, a y (Fig. 3). A few careful studies have been made of the strength of steel in compression and in one, (7) comparison was made with results of tension tests. Compression testing is considerably more difficult to accomplish than tension testing, and correlation between the two is essential if tension test data is to continue to be the basis for colwm1 strength formulas. In the mill tension test, the specimen is invariably selected from the web. Since this. material ordinarily tests at higher strength than flange material and since more than 75% of the load capacity of columns is 'in the flanges, then there is a question as to whether or not the tension test is representative of column strength. Careful machining is required of compression test coupons and usually a number of specimens are required from one cross-section before a good average may be made. Thus the "cross-section" test previously mentioned offers possibilities of an economical substitute for a large number of coupon tests . • , Answers to the follOWing questions are then desired: a. vfuat is the strength of full cross-sections of the various rolled shapes (v&, angle, channel) and how do their properties compare with those given by coupon tests? -9 b. How do the compressive properties so determined compare with the mill-type tension tests of specimens cut from the web? • Can a correlation be established that will be useful in arriving at reliable compressive strengths of structural shapes? The answers to these questions will be sought in future investigations. E~ploratory relationships nlay be seen in the data presented herein. 5. Test Program The fo:llowing general program was considered necessary . to accomplish the purpose of the study: • 1. Tests of as-delivered, axially loaded, pin-ended columns in a range of slenderness ratios, (residual stresses to be measured on pieces immediately adjacent to the columns). Columns were to be free to bend about either one axis or the other. 2. Tests of annealed columns. 3. Tests of tension and compression coupons cut adjacent to the other test pieces. 4. "Cross-section" tests. 5. Meaurement of residual stress distribution, magnitudes and variation. The study was limited to ASTM grade A-7 steel rolled to 8 WF 31 shape, one of the most frequently used shapes for building columns. -10 220A.9 It is the purpose of this paper to describe theoreti- cally the influence of res~dual stress, present test results in substantiation of the theory, give data on compressive pro- • perties of steel, and tocorrp.late the observations speCifications and design formulas. w~th current -11 220A.9 III. THE 0 RE TIC A L A N A L Y SIS The ideas presented in earlier investigations (13,18) ,~ .. are extended here for practical application to WF sections . The subsequent derivations are made under the following assrunptions: 1. The stress-strain behavior of fibers of the material is characterized by two straight lines of slopes E and zero (ideal stress-strain diagram for steel). 2. Plane sections remain plane after deformation. 3. The residual stress distributj.on is symmetrical with respect to both axes of the ~W sections; the residual stresses are constant along the column. The derivations are divided into two parts: (1) those based on measured or assumed residual stress patterns and (2) those based on the lIcross-section" test. For completeness some of the material presented elsewhere is repeated here. 1. Becta0gula~ Shape - Known Residual Stress c. When a steel column is strained above the residualproportional limit, portions of the cross-section yield (POint 1 of Fig. 2).

WF Shapes - "Exact II Solution for Known Residual Stress The previous solutions have all assumed that the web of a WF shape contains no residual stress. Numerous measurements have been made indicating that this is not the case. A solution based on coup~~ test results and a known residual stress pattern which takes into account the web residuals and is applicable to WF shapes may be obtained using the approaches previously mentioned. 220A.9 LE \:-.+---= .I ,---J, ¥I:I\ I E lFx I. bpI -13 Ip \ i \ I \ I I I I I I..,,) u z .' / 1/ Li'kJ I p FIG. b Considering the column j.n Fig. b the strain E will increase uniformly until bending starts (corresponding to the tangent modulus load of the Engesser-Shanley theory).

(a) This has Two cases have been considered: Yielding does not commence in the web until the flanges are fully plastic. (b) The web starts to yield before the flanges have completely yielded. If the tensile stress at any point in the web is less than that in the flange, then Case (b) is applicable. In Figs. 43- and 46 typical stress-strain curves have been drawn and the applicable equations are tabulated there. A sample solution has been carried out in Appendix 4. In the previous three sections it was assumed that the yield stress level and the residual stress distribution were known. Using the same original assumptions the problem can be approached in a different manner, based on application of tangent modulus theory to a "cross-section" test. 4.

Coupon Tests .. The dimensions of the tension coupons were selected according to ASTMStandards: full thickness of the material (flanges or web) and 1 1/2 in. width over an 8 in. gage length. The dimensions of the compression coupons followed the recommendations of Research Committee A of the Column 220A.9 ~21 Research Council*: . full thickness of the material, a coupon length smaller than 4 1/2 times the thickness and greater than twice the width plus gage • length~ In addition the gage length should be chosen greater than the width but smaller than twice the width of the coupon. The dimensions of the coupons cut from the web \'Tere approximately 1.35" x 0.29" x 0.40 11 -0.50 11 ** and 1.90 11 x 0.43 11 X 0.55 11 -0.75 11 for those cut from the flanges. Some coupon test results included in Table I were already available when this program was started. Their dimensions were about the same as those given above except for the width which was 1.12". All coupons were tested in a 60,000# hydraulic testing machine. strain The strains were measured in most cases gages~ wj.. th mechanical in a few cases they were measured with bonded electrical resistance strain gages (Baldwin SR-4). An 8-in. Moore extensometer was used in tension tests, while a pair of Huggenberger gages of 1/2" gage length were used in compression tests. Some of the compression coupons were tested into the strain-hardening range by an averaging compre·ssometcr replacing the Huggenberger gages after passing of the yield point. on a coupon. Fig. 6 shows the compressometer in place On the opposite s,ides of the vertical cross-bar SR-4 gages are mounted so that strains may be measured up to 15% with an apprOXimate sensitivity of 0.0002 in./in. The coupons were numbered according to their location in the cross-section as shown in Table 3. * "Notes on Compression T,:=sting of Metals and the ColumnStrength Curve ll , 1951. ** Length x thickness x width -22 220A.9 Some of the compression coupons were provided with .. bearing blocks and a spherical bearing on top (Fig. 1 ), others were tested in a sUbprcss (Fig.6'). All coupons were carefully aligned before the test to about 1/3 of the estimated yield load. The alignment was considered satisfactory when the dif- ference of strain readings on opposite sides of the specimens was from 2 to 3 times the sensitivity of the gage at 1/3 of the yield load. Where necessary thin aluminum foils were used as shims. The testing speed in the elastic range was approximately 1 micro-in./in./sec. for all coupons. In the plastic range the valve opening set in the elasti.c range was kept con- '. stant. Only coupons in series T-O were tested beyond hardening. strain-, All other tests were dlscontinued at a strain of from two to four times the yield-point strain. 3. Residual Strain Measurements The sectioning method was adopted for the measurement of residual' strains because of its simplicity. (11) Strains were measured over a 10-in. gage length by a 1/10,000 Whittemore Fig. 8 strain gage ona series of previously laid out holes. shows a typical lay-out for the sectioning process. It was cutomary on this pilot program to take readings on both sides of the web and of each fla.nge and to make the spacing of lines I '. of gage holes equal to 1/2 - in. The 11 in. section to be cut out of the beam was at least two feet distant from the ends. Care was taken to select sections free from "yield lines" produced in the cold straightening o~eration at~the mill. A stan- dard 10-in. mild steel bar was attached to the specimen to 220A.9 -23 observe changes in temperature during readings. The average error in these measurements corresponds to a stress of approximately +600 psi. Following an initial set of readings on drilled and reamed holes serving as gage points, a second set of readings was taken when the II-in. section was sawed out of the beam as a unit. The final strains were obtained after the II-in. section had been sawed up into strips of 1/2 in. Width, each strip containing a pair of gage holes. 4. Cross-Section Tests: The length of the first of ·the I'cross -section II specimens was 20 in. 26 in. The other five had a length between 24 in. and Fig. 22 shows that this length is sufficient to retain most of the original magnitUde of residual stresses in the center part. • Further comment on this point will be made later. The specimens were tested in compression in an 800,000lb. screw-type testing machine as shown in Fig. 9. To obtain a uniform distribution of applied stress, bearing plates and a spherical bearing block were used between the specimen and the head of the testing machine. milled flat. The ends of' the specimens were Thin copper.sheets were inserted between the specimen and the bearing plates on the first test as it was hoped that this arrangement would give a more uniform stress distribution. However the yielding of those sheets influenced unfavorably head rotation measurements and since no improvement could be observed, sh~s were eliminated in later tests. The strains were measured by SR-4 gages of the A-II type (I-in. gage length) except for one test where A-9 type gages (6-in. gage length) were applied. In addition, the average -24 220A·9 strain over a IG-in. gage length at the flange centers was measured on three specimens by a frame-dial gage combination illustrated in Fig. • four flange corners 9~ The shortening of the specimens at the was measured between top and bottom bear- ing plates with the aid of four dial gages and thin wire ex- tensions; also they indicated any possible rotation of the head. The SR-4 gages and dial gages ~t the flange edges served for alignment and in addition supplied yielding and local buckling information. The alignment of the specimens was made at loads not exceeding one-half of the expected residual-proportional limit (the load corresponding to yield stress minus the maximum compressive residual stress). I The alignment was considered satis-· ~ factory if the maximum deviation of one corner gage from the I average of the four corner gages was less than maximum alignment load. 5% at the A small amount of non-uniformity in distribution of applied stress is not considered critibal as long as the gages which are used to represent t~e average stress~ strain curve are close to the average strain. A qualitative picture of the yielding process was obtained by the flaking of the mill scale made clearly visable by whitewashing the specimens with hydrated lime (F~g. 10). According to the assumption of linear strain increase • over the total section, it is necessary to measure strains representing the average strain of the cross-section at those locations expected to remain elastic for the greatest period of time. For the 8 WF 31 shape, these locations are in the web and at the flange centers which are usually found to contain 220A.9 -25 tensile residual stresses. Theoretically, strains measured in the plastic portions should give the same strains as in the ~lastic .. portions; however, the mechanism by which yielding occurs in thin planes (yield lines) makes the measured strains depend on the gage length and the results tend to be erratic. The loads were applied inappropriate increments which were determined from the load vs. strain curve plotted during the test. After passing of the proportional limit, readings were taken after the maintained load and the strains had but negligable changes within a period of 15 minutes, the time required to take all readings. The criterion used was a change of less than 1/2% in the load and less than during the period. i ~ 5% of the measured strains After the maximum load was passed a small increment of strain was applied by movement of the head of the testing machine and the readings were taken after both load and strains had stabilized. 5. Column Tests The columns were tested in the same 800,000# testing machine as the cross-section specimens .. The axial load was applied through knife edges. A detailed description of the testing frame and the testing set-up is contained in Reference 5. Strains were measured by SR-4 gages of A-II type (I-in. gage length) at locations close to both 'ends and at the center of the columns. The deflections were measured with dial gages located at the quarter points and at the center of the column. Deflections were also measured perpendicular to the plane of bending at the ends and at the center. -26 220A·9 The alignment was checked by the SR-4 and the deflection gages. A very good alignment is essential tO,approximate as closely as possible the conditions assumed in theory as eccentricity (and also initial curvature) may reduce appreciably the expected maximum loads. Accidental eccentricities were eliminated by relative movement of the column bases with respect to the base fixtures. of wedges. Uneven bearing was remedied by movement Both operations could be made while a small load was maintained on the column. The effect of initial curvature can be reduced somewhat by application of a slight eccentricity; however, it can never be completely removed. reported herein all the For the tests effects described above were small compared with the reductions attributed to residual stress except for the column test 205A T-15 (Fig. 27) which had a relatively large amount of curvature. The alignment was made at loads not ,exceeding about 1/3 of the estimated maximum load. ,The deflection and strains at the center and near the ends were measured for the accuracy of the alignment. In most cases it was possible to obtain a deflection at the center of less than 0.1 in. at maximum load. The load was applied in appropriate increments determined from a load-deflection graph plotted during the test. Again, near the maximum load a criterion had to be used to avoid appreciable changes of load, strains or deflections while readings were taken. Readings were taken if the change in load was less than 1/2% and the change in deflection at the center of the column was less than 5% of the measured deflection. The -27 220A.9 tests we~e continued beyond the maximum load until the load had dropped to about 2/3 of the maximum value. In weak axis tests this drop occurred qUite suddenly without a possibility of measuring intermediate values. Whitewashing of the as- delivered columns gave a qualitative picture of the development of yield lines. Although thecross~sectionswere usually free from cold-bend yield lines, their presence could not be avoided in the columns. In all cases, the center part of the member was substantially free from cold-bend yield lines. examples are recorded in Fig. 11. I T Typical -28 220A.9 V. T EST RES U L T S For the tests performed as shown in Table 1 and 10- • cated in the various rollings as shown in Fig. 5, the following is a brief presentation of results for each type of test. These results are discussed and evaluated in Chapter VI. 1. Coupons The results of all available coupon data are listed in Table 3. Values of E, cr p ' cruy ' and cry are shown and corre$ponding tensile and compressive data are listed side by side. When a coupon showed the Bauschinger effect, the results were not used in determining average for crp . The weighted In computing average val~es averages are summarized in Table 4. properties, the values obtained from individual coupons at a ·f particular cross-section were weighted in proportion to the flange and web areas. ~tress-strain The terms used in connection with coupon curves are defined graphically in Fig. 12. The modulus of elasticity, E, was determined from a large-scale plot of the stress-strain curve and was taken as the slope of the average line through test points up to about the proportional limit. The maximum deviation of data points from this line was between 20 and40 microinch/inch. The pro- portional limit, crp ' was defined arbitrarily as the stress at " which the average curve crossed the lower boundary of the scatter band (Fig.l2). The yield stress level cry was determined from the average stress in the plastic range. -29 220A.9 Compression coupons tested into the strain-hardening range are shown in Fig. 13. Typical stress-strain curves for individual compression coupons are • Fig.15 ~hown in Figs. 14,16, and 17 . gives the stress-strain curves for a set of tension coupons. The average compressive stress-strain curve to be used for later comparison with cross-scction and column tests was determined from the above compression tests. The technique used is based on the assumption that plane sections ~emain plane after deformation, and, thus, the axial strains are uniform across the section for each load increment. After plotting the individual stress-strain curves to a large scale, the stress values are read from the various curves for predetermined strain values. Frequent strain intervals are selected in the region of the yield point. Individual stress readings of flange material are averaged for each of the selected strains and the same is done for the web material. Finally, for each of the stratn values, a weighted average of stresses is determined in proportion to the relative flange and web areas. The average stressstrain curve is then plotted directly from this data. 2. Residual Stresses The residual stresses were computed from the measured strains using an elastic modulus of 30 x 106. psi . The distribu- tion of these stresses in three as-delivered specimens is shown in Fig. 18. The results from T4 are not shown but were qUite similar to those obtained in TO. represent two different rollings. These particular distributions In Fig. 19 are shown the 220A.9 -30 results of residual stress measurements at three different locations in a single piece of material. In both Figs.1B and 19 the distributions are shown separately for the flanges and the web. Except for a few measurements on T6 (Fig. 19) the web isih residual tension (a maximum value-of +16,000 psi was measured); the flanges are in compression at the edges (maximum va'1uc _. -17,500 ,psi) and change to tension at the flange centers (maximum value == +11,000 psi). The magnitude and distribution of residual stresses in two annealed specimens is shown in Fig. 20 and indicates that practically all the residuals were eliminated. The results of the study on the variation of residual stresses along a member are shown in Fig. 21. A member 9..,.ft. J.ong received a layout of holes as shown in the upper slcetches. At three locations a complete sectioning was made (76 pairs of holes) and the resulting stresses are shown in Fig. 19. At the other locations a partial sectioning was made involving 32 pairs of holes and at the circled stations (Fig.21). The change of the residual stresses along the beam at the web center, the flange center and at the flange edges is shown in the lower portion of Fig. 21. The region containing cold-bend yield lines is to be noted. Other measurements on th~ beam also served to study the changes of residual stress at a section for different -; . - lengths of cross-section. As the sectioniI!-g process was per- formed at various stations along the member shown in Fig. 22 the member finally consisted only of the piece shown as 6-7 with a length of 3l-in. At this stage, no change in readings had been observed over the gage length A-A. The remaining member (6-7) was then further reduced in length (25; 19, 14, and 220A,9 -31 11 inches) and finally cut into strips. The residual stress at this location is plotted vs .. the length of "cross-section" I • .. in Fig. 22 for the same locations as 'before, that is, at the web center, flange centers and flange edges. This figure shows that the residual stress distribution in the gage length A-A did not change appreciably until the total length was reduced to 19 in. Since all of the cross-section specimens were longer than 19 in., they had sufficient length to preserve almost completely the original residual stress pattern in their center portions. Of course this was important if the cross-section test was to reflect correctly the influence of residual stresses. 3. Cross-section Specimens The results of measurements of E, crp ' and cry determined from the cross-section tests are summarized in Table 5 and compared with corresponding weighted compression coupon resuIts. The average stress-strain curves for typical cross-section specimens are presented in Figs. 23 to 25.*(Fig. 25 is for the annealed material.) The average curve determined from compression coupons is also shown on each figure. In most cases strains were measured at several locations and these results are also presented in Fig.23 to 25. Theoretically these latter curves should be identical according to the assump't tion of uniform strain. The stress vs. tangent modulus curves needed to computethe column curves are shown in Fig. 26. (They also show the difference between measurements on the same specimen at different locations.) In Figs. 23 and 24 the strain E5 is the theoretical strain which the cross-section should reach the yield stress level. See Fig. 46. *at 220A.9 -32 Column curves based on the , stress~strain curves of coupons and of cross-sections and using the relationship in Chapter III, Section 6 of the report are shown in Figs. 27, 28, • • 29, and 30. (Column test results are shown in each case for comparison.) Fig. 27 (T-O) compares results from web SR-4'gages and flange SR-4 gages. Fig. 28 (T4) also contains column curves from residual stress measurements as will be described below. Column curves for the two sets of annealed material are shown in Fig. 29. In order to compare all the cross-section test .results; Fig.30 has been prepared. It presents the data on a non- dimensional basis to eliminate the effect of differences in the material properties. The values of E and cry used in the figure were taken from the corresponding stress-strain relations. cry was the maximum average stress carried by the cross-sections; . it was also applied to the column test results. curves~cr y For the coupon was taken as the weighted average of the yield stress level. By the method of Chapter III, Section 3 of this report column curves from residual stress measurements are plotted in Fig. 28 in addition to the curves based on cross-section tests. Straight lines were used to approximate the actual residual stress pattern. The magnitude of cry was taken as 93% of the" value determined from coupon tests.

A comparison with a .study recently published (10) shows that except for 205A T-15 the reductions due to eccentricity were small when compared with the theoretical reductions due 'GO residual stresses. All columns were within AISC rolling tolerances of 1/8 11 per 10 ft. length of member. (2) -34 220A.9 VI. DIS C U S S ION 1. Compressive Strength The compressive strength of steel as measured by the yield stress level is not as great as that obtained from a milltype tension test; likewise, although compression and tension coupons give results that are almost identical (on the ave~age), the compressive strength of full cross-sections is less than that obtained by averaging the results of small coupons tested in compression. The comparison between the results of tension and compression coupons shown in Table 4, supports the usual assumption of identical behavior of steel in tension and compression. The elimination of compression testing of coupons (in the case • of rolled structural steel shapes) is thus considered as warranted, particularly in view of larger variation in properties due to other causes. There was considerable variation in coupon properties (both compression and tension) particularly between web and flange material (TabJ.e 3). On the average, the yield stress level was 10% higher for web material than for flange material. Since web material is used for the mill tests, it can be expected that, due to this cause alone, average compressive strength will be from 5 to 10% mill. les~ than that reported by the The difference in strength has been attributed to the more rapid cooling rate of the web material as compared to the thicker flange material.(9) -35 220A·9 Difference in strength of as much as 10% wa~ also (~able observed between different locations in the same flange. 3). However, when weighted averages are compared for different locations in the same ingot, the agreement is much better (2-l/2% in the compression tests). Some coupons exhibited a Bauschinger effect (coupons #5 in Fig.13, #5 in Fig. and #8 in Fig. 15, and #1 in Fig. 16). lL~, #4 In the case of the latter, "co ld-bend ll yield lines produced during straightening of beams in the mil~ were positively identified on the coupon. It is the previous tensile strain that accounts for this behavior. The difference in strength between full cross-sections and the weighted averages obtained from coupons is evident in Table 5. The maximum stress carried by the cross-sections varies from 90 to 96% of the yield stress level of the compression coupons. This reduction .also appeared in the case of annealed tests and has also been observed in other tests. The difference in strength may possibly be due to size of specimen, shape of specimen or both. At any rate, because the entire member is used, test of a full cross-section is a more rational indication of strength than is the average obtained from a large number of coupon tests. The cross-section is also less expensive for laboratory use than are coupons, the cost ratio being about 2 to 3 for cross-section cost vs. cost of 4 compressioncoupons. Incidentally, the agreement between modulus of elasticity, E, as obtained from compression coupons and· from crosssections· was excellent. (Table 5). Four of the coupon sets -36 220A.9 agree within one-half of one percent with the corresponding cross-sections and the maximwn difference in E is 3%. The average value ~as 29.6 x 10 6 psi. F1.g.33 surn.rnarizes diagrammatically the influence of several factors on the strength of steel'in comparison with the value reported by the mill. The mill report is usually, though not always, based on the upper yield point.· (In Table 4 the upper yield point in tension was 5% higher than the lower yield stress level.) The differen6e in rate of strain could account for a further reduction of 10%;. difference in strength between web and flange accounts for from 5 to 10% reduction; finally, the full cross-section is from 5 to 10% weaker than that indicated by • cou~on tests. Thus a full cross-section' tested in the laboratory in compression may 'be expected to show ,a lower yield stress level of from 20 to 40% less than the "yield point ll reported·by the mill. Futul""e work is aimed at specifying more precisely the strength in compression as compared With the mill results. ,The effect of annealing is, of course, to reduce the compressive strength somewhat (Table 3).· Even in the annealed state the web was still stronger than the flange. 2. MagnitUde and Distribution of Residual Stress Fj.gs .18 and 19 indicate that compressive residual stresses at the flange tips amounted to as much as -17,500 psi and in the web reached values of -5,600 psi. Tensile residual stresses were as much as + 16,000 psi in the web and + 11,000 psi at the flange centers. These are average stresses' calcu- -37 220A.9 lated from measurements on both sides of the webs and outstanding flanges .. The difference between readings on such pairs of holes was in most cases of the same order of magnitude as the error of the measurements. However, a trend of slightly higher stresses seems to be indicated on the outside flange surfaces as compared with the inside surfaces. There were several typical patterns (distributions) of residual stress in flange and web (Fig.18,19). The distri- bution of flange stresses was in some cases linear and in others parabolic, hyperbolic, or ffS-shaped(l. The distribution of stresses in flange and web are interrelated since the condition of equilibrium requires that the resultant web force balance the resultant in the two flanges. For example, in Fig. i.8, Tl shows a relatively high resultant compressive force in the flanges; as a consequence, the tensile force in the web is relatively high. Although not so marked, a similar correlation is seen between TO and T2. In Fig. 19, the flang~ is so nearly in equilibrium that there is little resultant force in the web. The influence of the different distributions of residuals will be examined in Scction 4 below. The annealed material (Fig~ 20) had residual stresses of such small magnitude that the measuring method employed was not sufficiently sensitive to determine them precisely. Fig. 20 Thus cannot be considered to represent an actual stress distribution since the recorded values are.of the same magnitude as the possible errors. However, the purpose of these measure- ments was only to verify that annealing had eliminated the residuals. 220A.9 -38 3. Variation of Residual Stresse~ The magnitude of the stresses at flange tips show relatively small variation. Stresses at flange centers show larger variation (Fig. 18) and those in the web show the greatest of all. Considering first the material from one ingot (Fig. 18) there is some variation in distribution of stress in the flanges of different rollings and a much bigger variation in the webs. This latter variation has only a small influence because column strength is primarily determined by the residual stresses in the flanges. The material from the second h ea t ha d mu c h higher tensile stresses at the flange centers (Fig. 19). Except for magnitude 'of compressive stress at flange edges, the variations between two different heats were rather large (Compare Fig.18 and 19). Measurements at different locations on the same beam indicate good uniformity (Fig. 21,19) except for the end which contained yield lines from cold bending. Considering the variation along the member, the full magnitude of residual stress is reached after a short distance of approximately 1 ft. from the ends (Fig. 21). This is in agreement with the results presented in Fig. 22 where a minimum length of about 3 times the section depth or flange width is seen to be sufficient to preserve the residual stress pattern at the center of the specimen. In stmmary, the assumption made earlier that the distribution of cooling residual stresses is uniform along a column seems to be reasonable. It is further borne out by column tests, where yielding is usually oberved to occur rather uniformlyalong the member. -39 220A·9 4. Influence of Residual Stress Distribution upon Column Strength Three of the possible distributions of residual stress are considered as shown in the top diagram of Fig. 34. The web stresses were assumed to be constant and of a value to satisfy equilibrium. The analysis was carried out until the flanges had yielded completely or until the web had l"eached the yield point ~s was the case for the parabolic distribution (curve III). Column curves were then drawn for each case and for flexure about either the strong or the weak axis as indicated. The greatest reduction was caused by the hyperbolic distribution (curve I). The result obtained from Tl, which had a residual stress distribution appioaching Type I is in confirmation of the prediction of Fig. 34. The cross-section column curve plotted in Fig. 30 is the lowest for this test. In Fig.35 an S-shaped pattern has been used as the basis for computing a column curve. Comparison is shown with the curve obtained from a linear distribution of residual stresses. A fair average of these cases is supplied by the linear pattern of residual stress. In general a large area of compressive residual stresses in the flanges results in a lower column curve. A limiting case would be compressive residual stresses throughout the flanges and tension in the web. The column curve would become horizontal at a stress cry - crrc as shown in Fig. 35. Recent model tests* confirmed this behavior. * S. Cherry, P. Y. Chow, and W. J. Austin, ftExperimental Studies of Model Columns ", Structural Research Serie.s No. 34, University of Illinois, July 1952. -40 220A.9 5. Influence of Residual Stress - Correlation between Theory and Tests Of first importance in considering the influence of residual stress is the reduction in strength of columns below the strength predicted on the basis of average compression coupon curves. Fig. 27 serves as illustration; by no means could "coupon" curves serve as a rational basis for predicting as-delivered column strength. The reduction amounts to as much as 35%. Secondly, the influence of residual stress is different depending on the flexure axis. As predicted by theory, the influence of residual stress is more pronounced for columns bent about the weak axis. Q The two methods for predicting theoretically the influence of residual stresses were treated in Chapter I I I of this pap~r and have the same fundamental basis. a relationship between average applied stress, mom~nt of inertia, Ie,is desired. In both cases 0, and elastic To find this relation certain material properties are required and these must be furnished by tests. These methods will now be discussed and correlated with column tests. (a) Method based on residual stress distribution: The method requires the measurement of residual stresses by sectioning a piece of the material or by some other process. Numerous coupons must be tested and a factor (90-95%) applied to the yield stress level to arrive at an equivalent basic compressive strength. The residual stress pattern must then be approxi- mated by an appropriate analytical expression and the resulting -41 220A.9 column curve computed according to Section 3 of Chapter III of , the report. Errors can be made in the measurement of residual stresses (~ 600 psi.) and in the measurement of E and cry in the coupons. Care must be taken that residuals are measured in a piece free of cold-bending yield lines. It is impractical to go to too much refinement in approximating analytically the residual . stress distribution. Figs. 34 and 35 show further, that a reasonable approximation to the pattern produces a satisfactory column curve. In Fig. 28 test results are compared with typical curves computed from residual stress patterns. is satisfactory. The agreement The same comparison for all tests, the results being plotted non-dimensionally, is shovvn in Fig. 31. I ~ ~ In all these calculations a factor of 93% was applied to cry (c) obtained from coupons to give the basic compressive strength. (b) Method based on cross-section test: Correlation between actual col~~n tests and the results of the analysis of "cross -sections" containing residual stresses is shown in Figs. 27,28, 29, and 30. The agreement between theory and test is as good as is the "residual stress" method, and the scatter in results obtained from different cross-sections is not unreasonable. The results of both the "cross-section" and the "residual stress" analyses are shown in Fig. 28 with test results. In this respect there is little choosing one over the other. together basis for -42 220A.9 The "cross-section" method for determing the influence of residual stress on column strength requires a length of material sufficiently long to retain most of the residual stress intensity at the center. This may be accomplished if the length is of the order of three times the depth of member or width of flange. Testing of the full cross-section provides, directly, values of E, cry' and 0rc' By determining the values of Et at various stress levels and using the expressions in Section 6 of Chapter III, column curves are obtained. There are considerable advantages of time and money in the cross-section scheme as compared with the residual stress method. 'J> Of course, errors may be made in determining E and cry' Care must be taken in the conduct of the test, particularly in the alignment. Theoretically, strain measured at different locations should be identical. However, variation is often observed and this leads to differences in the stress vs. tangentmodulus relationship (Fig. 26). Considering the worst discrep- ancy between different sets of gages (as observed in T-O) two se~arate column curves have been drawn in Fig. 27. In the one case SR-4 I s were mounted on the web and in the other on the flanges. Even for this extreme case, the difference is small compared with the reduction from the average coupon curve. As- suming that a testing machine of sufficient capacity is avail-' able these tests' suggest that the cross-section method is preferable to the method that requires the measurement of residual stress. -43 220A·9 The "cross-section" method allows the determination of , the column curve until the flanges have completely yielded (the • limiting value of Et is found in Chapter III). The corresponding stress is so close to the yield stress level that the curve may simply be extended to Oy without serious error. Fair agreement was observed between the predicted = 0y - °rc) and the loo.d at which flaking of first yielding (Op whitewash occurred. 'Thus the cross-section test permits a rough estimation of arc' the compressive stress at the flange edges. Incidentally, the residual stress magnitude and distribution in the flanges may be reconstructed from the measured stress-strain curve of a cross-section specimen. is as follows: The procedure the average strain in terms of the residual stress at a point was given by Eq.9'as - drx ) 0 The tangent modulus was given by Eq.ll as € Et = E (0 A = Y + wd ) E (4tx A. 0 l (11) Since Oy, E, Et , and € are determined from the test, 0rx may o be determined from Eq" 9 for discreet values of E and the corresponding Xo may be obtained from Eq.ll. A comparison between computed values of residual stress with actual measurements is shown in Fig. 36: the agreement is quite good. The variation of the calculated stresses is due in part to the experimental error involved in obtaining the tangent modulus, Et . Column test 205A.T15 (Fig. 27) showed a reduction below the expected value; this was due to a relatively large initial curvature present in the member. -44 220A.9 The results of annealed tests, shown in Fig. 29, exhibit the difference between coupon yield stress level and cross- . section strength that was also seen in the as-delivered material. No column tests were made for T-3 material. the full yield load. T-5b almost carried The longer column, T-5a, showed some re- duction which is probably due to b~th out of straightness and eccentricities, their influence on the deflection curve being seen in Fig. 32. The theoretical column curves based on cross- section tests shows clearly that residual stresses have largely been eliminated by annealing. This series of annealed tests gives conclusive evidence of the presence and influence of residual stresses. .. The summary curve of Fig. 30 also contains of the study of annealed material. the results Comparison of the weak axis tests (solid circles are for annealed material, open circles asdelivered), show the reduction in strength due to residual stress which is ip confirmation of the theory. 6. Correlation with Current Design Specifications 'In Fig. 37 the average cross-section curve is plotted. It will be noted that the curve for buckling in the strong direction is app~oximately parabolic in shape, while the weak axis curve shows approximately linear behavior. The two curves could be expressed by the following simple relationships: ~ Vy-;-y = '"y _ arc Tr v 1 220A·9 -45 where arc is the residual stress at the flange tips. Using the average material properties measured in the tests (Oy = 37,000 psi, E = 29.6 x 10 6 psi and arc = -14,000 psi) Eq.13 may be (14) These curves are also shown in Fig.37 together with appropriate test results. To compare with these,curves given by three specifications (AISC (2), AREA (3), and AASHO (1)) are also shown in Fig. 37.

F1g~ 36. The factor of safety varies For the AREA-AASHO it varies from 1.6 (at L/r = For the AISCformula it varies from 1.90 to 2.18. Because two theoretical curves have been used, there are two sets of "safety-factor ll .curves in Fig. 38, one for flexure about tpe strong axis, the other for weak axis bending. Bleich(6) suggests the use of a constant factor of safety, albeit, one of greater magnitude than used for tension members. This seems fully justified if the factor is applied to a column curve that describes actual strength fairly precisely. Using a constant factor of safety equal to the minimum exhibited by the AISC formula (1.90) a possible working formula would be 0x-x = -19,500 + 0.58 0y_y = -19,500 + 65.2 {L/r)2 t/r (L/r < 110) -46 220A·9 For L/r> 110, the Euler hyperbola would be used as the column curve for both flexure axes and cr - 1r 2E 1.9 (L!r)2 , L/r ~ ( 16) 110 The curves of Eqs. 15 and 16 are plotted in Fig. 37. One conclusion to be gained from Fig.37 is that for most efficient utilization of material, two design curves should be used: one for the strong axis and one for the weak axis. The following comment on a similar point was made by Jonathan Jones, Chairman of the Practical Applications Committee of Column Research Council: "Past conditions have permitted us to be somewhat prodigal of materials, but that picture is changing.' Materials are obviously going to grow more and more expensive, and their employment without waste is becoming of greater importance. In the design of compression members we have to a large extent coasted along, using rules and formulas derived from simple experiments made, and deductions drawn, long ago. We have established the rules either for average cases, meaning that some structural elements are not as well protected as they should be, or we have established them for the 'worst case', thus wasting material in cases less severe." A question might logically be raised as to why the lI spec ification" in Eq.13. yield point of 33,000 psiwa~ not used for cry Actually, this is a minimum yield point stress, a value that must always be exceeded in a mill-type tension test. The value used for cry in Eq.13 (37,000 psi) was found to be the average basic compressive strength of material rolled to ASTM , IW A-7 Specification. A statistical mean eventually $hould be established for the basic compressive strength and design formulas based upon it. The factor of safety is intended to cover, -47 220A.9 among other things, "underrun in dimensions and physical pro- '. perties", and on this basis, would ,cover those rare cases in which the material just met the specifications. A second question relates to eccentricities. In the past it was common to explain the reduction in column strength in" the region up to L/r = 100 as due to accidental eccentrj.cities and initial curvature. (In fact, this was done earlier ih the paper for the annealed members). This study shows, however, that reductions in strength due to residual stresses are very large in themselves and it is not rational to explain them on the basis of eccentricities and crookedness. Reductions due to residual stresses and eccentricities • are summarized in a paper resulting from a project currently underway. (10) It is clear from figures contained in that study* that column strength could be described by selecting an appropriate value of eccentricity sufficient to cover the influence of residual' stresses. However, both eccentricity andr0sidual stress must be considered in arriving at a completely rational column formula intended to include known eccentricity as a factor. It must be admitted, of course, that the suggested "rational" formulas shown on Fig. 37 offer no startling departure from present practice insofar as the AISC formula is concerned. Test results have figured promi0ently in arriving at column .' formulas for specifications. Such tests as were made on as- delivered columns and thus automatically included the influence of residual stresses; hence col~~n * See Figs.37 ,38 of Ref. 10. formulas would be expected to -48 220A.9 be in at least "fair agreement with the findings of this investigation. • The following is quoted from an earlier Lehigh report. (18) flIt is probable that column design formulas have included empirically the reduction in carrying capacity due to residual stress, although the percentage reduction due to this factor has not gene~ally been appreciated. This indicates once more that experience and prior satisfactory performance is now, as it has always been, the important factor in structural design." Fig.37 indicates that some savings may be realized in column design by using formulas 15 especially if the first of these is used for flexure about the strong axis. This is con- sldered as secondary, however, to their rational explanation of column behavior. 7. Recommendations for Future Research Before it is possible to make final design recommenda- :. tions certain additional work is necessary. Even though one of the most frequently employed column shapes was used in the test program, applicability of the theory should be verified for other shapes and sizes of rolled sections. Secondly, a statis- tical collection of data on yield stress level, cry' and residual stress magnitude and distribution for various shapes is required. In this regard, of practical importance is the relation between the basic compressive yield stress level and the mill test yield point determined at maximum permitted strain rate. A third important problem is the influence on column strength of cold; straightening. These and related problems are being studied in a continuing program at Lehigh. 220A.9 -49 VII. CON C L U S ION S The following are some of the conclusions resulting • from the Pilot Program on the.influence of residual stress on column strength and are limiteci to those cases in which the residual stress distribution in v& shapes is approximately sym- metrical. 1. The presence of residual stresses results in a con- siderable lowering of column strength below values predicted on the basis of coupon tests. co~pressive the basic 2. .. It may amount to as much as 30% below yield-point at L/r = 90. (Fig. 27,30) The distribution of residual stresses in the flanges has more influence on the strength of the column than do residual stresses in the web. The more of the flange that is in compres- sion the greater is the reduction (Fig. 34). In most cases an assumed linear distribution will result in a satisfactory column curve. Compressive residual stresses up to 17,500 psi were measured at the flange tips. (Fig. 18). 3. influence. The direction of possible bending is of significant Columns of the same slenderness ratio carry less load when allowed to bend in the weak direction than when allowed to bend in the strong direction. (Fig. 30) 4. The reduction of column strength.due to unavoidable small eccentricities and crookedness is small compared with the large r.eductions caused by residual stresses. 5. The variation of residual stresses along a member free from cold-bend yield lines is small (Fig. 21). The variations of residual stresses within material from one ingot 220A.9 -50 are relatively small (Figs. 18 3 19)3 but large variations may exist between material from different heats. 6. The magnitude and distribution of residual stresses present in a long beam is preserved at the center part of a piece cut out of the beam if the length is about three times the depth of the section. 7. The yield stress level of a full cross-section is as much as 10% lower than the value obtained from compression coupons (Fig. 333 Table 5). material. It is possibly due This also applies to annealed to an influence of size and shape of specimen. 8. • Factors such as upper yield point, strain rate, and web strength vs. flange strength when added to the reduction due to size or shape effect may result in a full cross-section teste1 in the laboratory in compression showing a yield stress level of from 20 to 40% less than the "yield point" reported by the mill. (Fig. 33). Further research should establish this percentage more precisely. 9. Modulus of Elasticity, E, and yield stress level, cry, are obtained in satisfactory manner from the test of a full cross-section. (Table 5). Residual stress magnitude and distri- bution may also be determined from the cross-section test. Further 3 the column curve computed from the cross-section stressstrain relation by application of tangent modulus theory is in good agreement with the solution based on residual stress measurements (Fig. 28) and with test results (Fig. 30). This test is therefore an effective laboratory tool for obtaining basic compressive properties of steel and for predicting column strength. 220A.9 -51 10. EXisting column specifications (1,2,3) exhibit a large variation of reserve strength for slenderness ratios less than .. 120 (1<090 to 2.47) when compared with the strength of as-delivered axially-loaded columns. 11. Rather simple working. formulas have been developed (Eqs. 15,16) which are based on the results of the tests and analyses. While these do not depart markedly from existing for- mulas (Fig. 37), they offer increased economy for the shorter columns and constitute a rational explanation of column strength. As more statistical data is collected on. the properties of rolled steel shapes (E, ~y' arc) and in particular on the relationship .. II • .. ~, between mill tension tests and the basic yield stress, a definite formula for recommended practice maybe put forward. 220A.g -52 VIII.

At p-= 0 no load is applied and residual strains only are present in the specimen, Line (b). The distributions of Lines, (c), (d L (e), (f), and (g) are self -evident. When the specimen is strained by loads Pl to P4 a uniform strain (Line c) must be added to the initial residual strain (Line b) to give the total strain (Line d). At P2 the total strains have just reached the yield point at the edges. Stresses are still proportional to strains. When the load reaches P , however, strains are greater 3 than the elastic limit and the stress ~ diagram in Line e results. The superimposed stress, shown by Line f, is determined simply by substracting the residual stress (Line b) from the total stress distribution (Line e). P is thus equal to the area 3 cross-hatched in Line f times the thickness. Finally at P4 the cross-section is completely yielded.

The meaning of the various symbols is indicated on the sketch. The applied load at the ends of the column causes a uniform stress distribution to be superposed on the existing residual stress pattern (Fig. 41). The edges of the flanges will reach the yield stress level when the applied uniform stress attains the value, °p. = Ap - 0 Y - 0 rc -. With further increase of the load a part of the flanges will yield, and depending on relative magnitudes of residual stresses in the flange and web, part of the web may also yield before the flanges have completely yielded. ThUS, two possibilities must be considered: (I) The web stays elastic until the flanges have completely yielded; The assumed *equilibrium is r dA AJor residual stress distribution must be such that satisfied: = 4t Jb/2 0rx dx + 2.w Jdl/2 . 0rydy = 0 0 0 . -60 220A.9 (II) The w~b starts to yield before'the flanges have completely yielded.

A uniform strain, is added to the eXisting residual strains (see Fig. 42). €, The resultant stress distribution is obtained as shown in detail C by the same process as described in Appendix 2. The total force applied to the member is ,equal to the sum of the cross-hatched area in web and flange, which corresponds to the applied or superimposed stress.
