简介:本文将有侧移失稳的框架柱计算长度系数与结构力学的D值法联系,论证了柱子计算长度系数计算柱子抗侧刚度系数,通过柱子计算长度系数可以较精确地确定整个楼层的抗侧刚度.本文计算表明考虑同层各柱的相互支援对框架柱计算长度系数进行修正后,薄弱层柱子的计算长度系数能够得到略偏安全的精度.利用整体分析时各个柱子的计算长度系数存在的关系就可以得到所有其它非薄弱层柱子的计算长度系数,且同样略偏安全.通过例子发现框架层与层相互作用的一个重要性质:层对层的支援,对同一层的每个柱子而言,获得的好处(临界力增加)或贡献出来的刚度(临界荷载的减小)具有相同的比例.本文对当前各种框架稳定性计算方法(传统的线性分析计算长度系数法、线性分析层整体稳定计算法、结构整体稳定计算法和二阶分析法)进行了简单的讨论.
