Research on the simplified calculation method of thin-walled girder constrained torsional ultimate capacity

In order to quickly and effectively calculate the constrained torsion ultimate capacity of thin-walled box girder structures such as offshore platforms, a simplified calculation method for the constrained torsion ultimate capacity of thin-walled beams was studied. Based on the theory of plastic limit state analysis, the hypothesis of stress distribution in the limit state of constrained torsion of thin-walled beams was proposed. The thin-walled beam was regarded as a series of panels supported by main supporting members and stiffeners, and the calculation formula of the upper limit of the constrained torsional bearing capacity of thin-walled beams was deduced. The non-linear finite element method was used to verify the accuracy of the proposed hypothesis and calculation formula. The proposed method was applied to the box girder model and the calculation analysis of the restrained torsion ultimate capacity of the semi-submersible platform, and the results were compared with the non-linear finite element results. The comparison results show that the method proposed in this paper has high accuracy and can be used to estimate the upper limit of the torsional ultimate capacity of thin-walled beams such as offshore platforms.
