- the present invention is directed to a high-strength bolted connection structure, that is, a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure.
- the invention uses ultra-high-strength bolts which can assure adequate strength (shear proof stress) at room temperature and at high temperature of 650° C., and which do not give rise to the problem of delayed fracture.
- the invention allows the number of bolts to be decreased and the length of joint metal to be reduced so that the overall cost and the work execution time can be reduced, and a high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection can be realized that does not depend on a refractory covering or a protective structure using a refractory material.
- a high-strength bolted connection structure which includes a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure, is to be designed, in accordance with “Guide for design and work execution of high-strength bolted connection” published in 1973 and amended in 1993 by Architectural Institute of Japan, such that a friction-type connection and a tension-type connection are treated independently of each other in long-term design at room temperature and in anti-seismic design.
- the high-strength bolted connection structure at high temperature will be described separately for the two types of connection structure, and the high-strength bolted connection structures with no fire protection, that is, a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection, are provided in accordance with the concept of verification of fire resistant security of respective types of connection.
- the high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection is realized basically by using ultra-high-strength bolts which have a bolt tensile strength at room temperature of not less than 1200 N/mm 2 and not more than 1600 N/mm 2 and which have excellent shear proof stress at 650° C., that is, excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture (including torshear-type high-strength bolts, hereinafter referred to as “ultra-high-strength bolts”).
- a steel material as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-276637 filed by the present applicant is suitable to be used as the steel material for high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance for realizing the present invention.
- the steel material disclosed in that invention is characterized by excellent resistance to delayed fracture, and it has adequate strength at room temperature and also at a high temperature of 650° C., it is highly suitable to be used as the material for ultra-high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance for realizing the high-strength bolted connection structure, with no fire protection, of the present invention.
- this steel material may be rolled to a wire rod and, from the wire rod, high strength bolts having the bolt thread of, for example, M22 may be formed, and with appropriate quenching and tempering, the tensile strength of the bolts may be adjusted to the range of 1200 ⁇ 1600 N/mm 2 to obtain the ultra-high-strength bolts, having excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture, to be used in the present invention.
- the tensile strength of the bolts may be adjusted to the range of 1200 ⁇ 1600 N/mm 2 to obtain the ultra-high-strength bolts, having excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture, to be used in the present invention.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-276637 in order to relax the stress concentration in the bolt thread, it is effective to form this ultra-high-strength bolts in shape such that bottom shape of the bolt thread is in the form of arch-like curve.
- the ultra-high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture used in the present invention may be applied to all sites. However, as the required characteristics may differ depending upon the application site, it is possible to strictly select application sites depending upon the required characteristics and to thereby reduce the burden of material cost.
- high-temperature strength, especially the level of the shear proof stress, of the high-strength bolts is required to be high.
- the same shear stress as in the high-strength bolts does not act upon nuts and washers at the time of a fire when the bolted connection changes into pressure bearing state, the same high-temperature strength is not required for them and, therefore, general structural high-strength hexagon nuts and structural high-strength plain washer having no defined fire resistance may assure adequate high temperature strength.
- Columns and beam members, or joint metal, used in the high-strength bolted connection structure to which the present invention is applied may be all formed of fire resistant steel material having adequate high-temperature strength at 600° C. or higher, for example, NSFR400B, 490B, etc.
- NSFR400B NSFR400B
- 490B 490B
- the required characteristics may differ depending upon the application site, it is possible to strictly select application sites for fire resistant steel material having adequate high-temperature strength at 600° C. or higher, which imposes large cost burden, and to thereby reduce the burden of material cost.
- a friction-type high-strength bolted connection is a connection method in which joint members are tightly clamped via high strength bolts so as to transmit stress by the frictional force produced between members.
- Representative friction-type high-strength bolted connection structures include, for example, a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG. 1, in which H-shaped beam members 1 a and 1 b are joined by high-strength bolts 3 via outer splice plates 2 a and inner splice plates 2 b and side splice plates 2 c, or a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG.
- brace members 1 d and 1 e are joined by high-strength bolts 3 via upper splice plate 2 d and lower splice plate 2 e, or a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG. 3, in which a beam member 6 is connected to T-shaped joint metal 7 by high-strength bolts 9 .
- a beam member 6 is connected to T-shaped joint metal 7 by high-strength bolts 9 and the T-shaped joint metal 7 is connected to a column member 5 by high-strength bolts 8 , includes a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure, and the connection structure connecting the T-shaped joint metal 7 to the column member 5 by the high-strength bolts 8 corresponds to a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure to be described later.
- the present invention is applied, in a first aspect, to the friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure.
- TSt tensile strength of the bolt at high temperature (N/mm 2 )
- N 0 design bolt tension (N)
- TS tensile strength of the bolt at room temperature (N/mm 2 )
- equation ⁇ 1> can be rewritten as equation ⁇ 1a>:
- the present inventors have found that, in the fire resistant design of a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure, since the evaluation is based on long term allowable shear proof stress, the high-temperature proof stress of nuts and washers can be finally neglected although it may somewhat affect the sliding load. Therefore, special fire resistance is not required to be given to the structural high-strength nuts or structural high-strength plain washers used in the high-strength bolted connection of the friction-type connection structure.

- Japanese Patent Publication No. 01-191762 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 03-173745 disclose a steel material in which, in view of the fracture surface of bolts due to delayed fracture indicating grain boundary fracture, impurities such as Mo, Cr, and the like in the chemical components constituting a steel are reduced to strengthen the grain boundary, while, in view of texture control, Mo and Cr are added for high temperature tempering at 400° C.

- Japanese Patent Publication No. 07-278735 which, by composite addition of elements Mo, Cr, V that give rise to notable secondary hardening at the time of tempering, exhibits tensile strength of 1200 N/mm 2 even when tempered at high temperature of not lower than 450° C., and has excellent resistance to delayed fracture.
- tensile strength is adjusted to 1400 N/mm 2 or higher, delayed fracture occurs at higher rate.
- the present inventors have found, as a result of intensive study conducted to resolve above-described problem, that an equation of the relation between the bolt tensile strength and tempering temperature, and an equation of the relation between the bolt tensile strength and carbon equivalent calculated from chemical components of a steel material can be deduced, and have confirmed that, by selecting the chemical components of a steel so as to satisfy the two equations, and by suitable quenching and tempering treatment, a steel material is obtained which can be heat-treated to give a bolt tensile strength of 1200 N/mm 2 or higher and has excellent resistance to delayed fracture, and which is thus highly suitable to be used as a steel material for high-strength bolts.
- the fire resistant temperature of the steel having Fe as the main component and containing C, Si, Mn can be improved by adding alloy elements Cr, Mo, V, for example, used in fire resistant steel, to obtain a fire resistant temperature level of 600° C. or higher.
- the present inventors have found that the high-strength bolt having excellent resistance to delayed fracture and the high-strength bolt having excellent fire resistance have a common problem from the viewpoint of chemical components of steel material so that, by solving this common problem, an ultra-high-strength bolt can be obtained which has combined both characteristics and which can realize connection structure with no fire protection and which has excellent fire resistance at 650° C.
- C is an element necessary to assure adequate tensile strength of steel by a quenching and tempering treatment. If the content of C is less than 0.30%, adequate strength at room temperature cannot be assured, and if C is added in excess of 0.45%, the toughness of steel is degraded. Therefore, the content of C is restricted to the range of not less than 0.30% ⁇ not more than 0.45%.
- Si is an element necessary to deoxidize steel and effective for enhancing strength of steel. If the content of Si is 0.10% or more, the toughness of steel is degraded and the steel becomes notably more brittle. Also, as Si is an element which exhibits high solid solution hardening of ferrite, cold forging is difficult even when spherodization annealing is performed. In addition, since Si is an element which is likely to induce grain boundary oxidation at the time of heat treatment, and resistance to delayed fracture of bolts tends to be degraded due to its notch effect, the content of Si should be decreased as far as possible. Therefore, the content of Si is to be restricted to less than 0.10%.
- Mn is an element that is effective for improving hardenability. However, if the content is 0.40% or lower, desired effect cannot be obtained, and if Mn is added in an amount of 1.00% or more, temper embrittlement is produced, leading to a degradation of resistance to delayed fracture. Therefore, the content of Mn is to be restricted to the range of more than 0.40% ⁇ less than 1.00%.
- P is an element that segregates at the grain boundaries and lowers the grain boundary strength and degrades resistance to delayed fracture.
- P is also an element that, in hydrochloric acid which is a remarkably corrosive environment, increases the amount of corrosion of steel through its promoting effect on the hydrogen production at the steel surface, and therefore, a content of P is to be lowered as far as possible. If the content of P is 0.010% or more, amount of hydrogen entering into steel increases notably. Thus, the content of P is to be restricted to less than 0.010%.
- S is an element that segregates at the grain boundaries and thereby promotes embrittlement of steel. Therefore, a content of S is to be lowered as far as possible. If content of S exceeds 0.010%, embrittlement of steel becomes notable. Thus, the content of S is to be restricted to 0.010% or less.
- Cr is an element that improves hardenability and high temperature strength of steel and is effective in giving steel the resistance to temper softening. If the amount of addition is less than 0.5%, the above-described effect cannot be obtained. Thus, in view of economy, the added amount is to be restricted to the range of 0.5% or higher ⁇ less than 1.5%.
- Mo is an element that is most effective in improving high temperature strength and is also effective in improving the resistance to delayed fracture by permitting high temperature tempering. If the added amount is less than 0.35%, the effect described above cannot be obtained, and if the added amount is in excess of 1.5%, a solid solution of undissolved carbide in the mother phase is unlikely to be produced at the time of tempering, leading to degradation of ductility. Thus, the added amount is restricted to the range of more than 0.35% ⁇ less than 1.5%.
- V is an element that improves strength (including high temperature strength) of steel by precipitating as minute nitrides and carbides at the time of tempering, and permits high temperature tempering, and is also effective in the size reduction of prior austenite particles. Further, the carbides and nitrides that precipitate at the time of tempering provide trap sites for hydrogen and are effective in remarkably improving the resistance to delayed fracture by decreasing the amount of hydrogen accumulated at grain boundaries. However, if the added amount is 0.3% or less, particle size No. 10 cannot be achieved for prior austenite particles, and therefore, the resistance to delayed fracture cannot be improved. If the added amount exceeds 1.0%, the cold forging characteristics of bolts are impaired. As V is an expensive element, economy must also taken into account so that the content is to be restricted to the range of more than 0.3% ⁇ 1.0% or less.
- delayed fracture occurs as fracture at grain boundaries of prior austenite grains, in order to improve the resistance to delayed fracture, it is effective to avoid low temperature temper embrittlement region of 250 ⁇ 400° C. Further, in order to suppress segregation of film-formed cementite in prior austenite grain boundaries, it is effective to control the form of carbides by adopting higher tempering temperature. It is also effective to precipitate carbides and nitrides of V which serve as trap sites for hydrogen in order to decrease hydrogen accumulated in grain boundaries. Thus, it is possible to select a tempering temperature of 450° C. or higher.
- the present inventors were not restricted by the above-mentioned method, and have found, from experimental results, that the resistance to delayed fracture can be improved and delayed fracture can be reliably avoided by selecting tempering temperature satisfying the equation ⁇ 3> of the relation between tensile strength TS (N/mm 2 ) of high-strength bolts and tempering temperature (° C.) and the equation ⁇ 4> of the relation between tensile strength TS (N/mm 2 ) of high-strength bolts and carbon equivalent Ceq (%).

Description
- The present invention relates to a high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection that can be applied to the case of a high-strength bolted connection of a column to a beam member or to beam members constituting a steel structure for which fire resistance is required, directly or indirectly, via a join metal such as a T-shaped join metal or a splice-plate. The high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection of the present invention includes both a friction type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection.
- In a steel structure for which fire resistance is required, when the constituent pillars or beam members are exposed to high temperature at the time of a fire and their strength is lowered, they can no longer function as the steel structure adequately. Thus, conventionally, such steel members have been protected from a high temperature by means of a complicated fire protection provided on the steel members themselves or by provision of protective structure using fire resistant material.
- However, provision of such a fire protection on steel members or a protective structure for steel members leads inevitably to an increase in material cost as well as in construction cost. Therefore, recently, several fire-resistant steels having excellent high-temperature strength have been developed which steels have an increased high-temperature strength for a time period corresponding to duration of a fire, and which are mainly directed to realization of a steel structure with no fire protection. Thus, the same excellent high-temperature strength is also required for a high-strength bolted connection of steel members formed of such fire resistant steels.
- As regards high strength bolts and nuts, Japanese Patent Publication No. 02-247355 (
claim 1, Table 7 and FIG. 1), for example, has proposed a Mo-added steel, suitable to be used for bolts and nuts, which has a bolt tensile strength of 1000 N/mm2 or higher at room temperature, and has excellent high-temperature strength at temperature of 600° C. or higher. However, this steel does not have adequate high-temperature strength, and requires addition of expensive alloy elements such as Ni, V, etc. in order to obtain increased high-temperature strength, which gives rise to the problem of increased cost. - Japanese patent Publication No. 05-51698 (
claim 2 and Table 2) and Japanese patent Publication No. 05-98389 (claim 1 and Table 2) have proposed a steel material, suitable to be used for bolts and nuts, which has a bolt tensile strength of 1000 N/mm2 or higher at room temperature, and has yield strength of 400 N/mm2 or higher at temperature of 600° C. However, this steel requires addition of special elements such as Nb, W, etc., and thus gives rise to the problem of increased cost. Also, high temperature strength is still insufficient. - On the other hand, although, in the case of above-described conventional high-strength bolts having known fire resistance, the bolt tensile strength may sometimes become as high as about 1100 N/mm2, there is another problem, that is, the problem of “delayed fracture”, that, even if the bolt is used under stress equal to or lower than the yield stress, after a certain time period has elapsed from clamping, the bolt may suddenly break, which does not permit the bolt to be used as an important joint member of a steel structure. Thus, one is forced to adopt conventional bolt tensile strength of about 1000 N/mm2 as the upper bound, so that the number of bolts and length of the joint metal member is inevitably increased. Thus, there is still a strong need for a reduction in cost as well as a reduction in the work execution time.
- The high-strength bolts and nuts as disclosed in above-described known literature are all characterized by the amount of added alloy elements, and in addition to the essential problem that, in order to improve fire resistance, the amount of expensive additive elements, and hence the material cost, must increase, there is another problem that the phenomena of delayed fracture may occur.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection using an ultra-high-strength bolt which does not require fire protection or a protective structure of refractory material and which can resolve the problem of delayed fracture and can assure adequate strength at a temperature of 650° C. while allowing a reduction in material cost as well as reduction in the work execution time.

- The present invention is directed to a high-strength bolted connection structure, that is, a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure. The invention uses ultra-high-strength bolts which can assure adequate strength (shear proof stress) at room temperature and at high temperature of 650° C., and which do not give rise to the problem of delayed fracture. Thus, the invention allows the number of bolts to be decreased and the length of joint metal to be reduced so that the overall cost and the work execution time can be reduced, and a high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection can be realized that does not depend on a refractory covering or a protective structure using a refractory material.
- A high-strength bolted connection structure, which includes a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure, is to be designed, in accordance with “Guide for design and work execution of high-strength bolted connection” published in 1973 and amended in 1993 by Architectural Institute of Japan, such that a friction-type connection and a tension-type connection are treated independently of each other in long-term design at room temperature and in anti-seismic design. Therefore, in the present invention, too, the high-strength bolted connection structure at high temperature will be described separately for the two types of connection structure, and the high-strength bolted connection structures with no fire protection, that is, a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection, are provided in accordance with the concept of verification of fire resistant security of respective types of connection.
- In the present invention, both in the case of a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and in the case of a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure, the high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection is realized basically by using ultra-high-strength bolts which have a bolt tensile strength at room temperature of not less than 1200 N/mm2 and not more than 1600 N/mm2 and which have excellent shear proof stress at 650° C., that is, excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture (including torshear-type high-strength bolts, hereinafter referred to as “ultra-high-strength bolts”).
- A steel material as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-276637 filed by the present applicant is suitable to be used as the steel material for high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance for realizing the present invention. As the steel material disclosed in that invention is characterized by excellent resistance to delayed fracture, and it has adequate strength at room temperature and also at a high temperature of 650° C., it is highly suitable to be used as the material for ultra-high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance for realizing the high-strength bolted connection structure, with no fire protection, of the present invention.
- For example, this steel material may be rolled to a wire rod and, from the wire rod, high strength bolts having the bolt thread of, for example, M22 may be formed, and with appropriate quenching and tempering, the tensile strength of the bolts may be adjusted to the range of 1200˜1600 N/mm2 to obtain the ultra-high-strength bolts, having excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture, to be used in the present invention. As disclosed in the invention of above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-276637, in order to relax the stress concentration in the bolt thread, it is effective to form this ultra-high-strength bolts in shape such that bottom shape of the bolt thread is in the form of arch-like curve.
- The ultra-high-strength bolts having excellent fire resistance and excellent resistance to delayed fracture used in the present invention may be applied to all sites. However, as the required characteristics may differ depending upon the application site, it is possible to strictly select application sites depending upon the required characteristics and to thereby reduce the burden of material cost.
- In the high-strength bolted connection structure of the present invention, high-temperature strength, especially the level of the shear proof stress, of the high-strength bolts is required to be high. However, as the same shear stress as in the high-strength bolts does not act upon nuts and washers at the time of a fire when the bolted connection changes into pressure bearing state, the same high-temperature strength is not required for them and, therefore, general structural high-strength hexagon nuts and structural high-strength plain washer having no defined fire resistance may assure adequate high temperature strength.
- Columns and beam members, or joint metal, used in the high-strength bolted connection structure to which the present invention is applied, may be all formed of fire resistant steel material having adequate high-temperature strength at 600° C. or higher, for example, NSFR400B, 490B, etc. However, as the required characteristics may differ depending upon the application site, it is possible to strictly select application sites for fire resistant steel material having adequate high-temperature strength at 600° C. or higher, which imposes large cost burden, and to thereby reduce the burden of material cost.
- Next, the present invention will be described in detail.
- 1. Case of friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure
- (1) Example of friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure
- A friction-type high-strength bolted connection is a connection method in which joint members are tightly clamped via high strength bolts so as to transmit stress by the frictional force produced between members. Representative friction-type high-strength bolted connection structures include, for example, a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG. 1, in which H-shaped
beam members strength bolts 3 viaouter splice plates 2 a andinner splice plates 2 b andside splice plates 2 c, or a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG. 2, in whichbrace members 1 d and 1 e are joined by high-strength bolts 3 via upper splice plate 2 d andlower splice plate 2 e, or a high-strength bolted connection structure as shown in FIG. 3, in which abeam member 6 is connected to T-shapedjoint metal 7 by high-strength bolts 9. The connection structure shown in FIG. 3 in which abeam member 6 is connected to T-shapedjoint metal 7 by high-strength bolts 9 and the T-shapedjoint metal 7 is connected to acolumn member 5 by high-strength bolts 8, includes a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure and a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure, and the connection structure connecting the T-shapedjoint metal 7 to thecolumn member 5 by the high-strength bolts 8 corresponds to a tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure to be described later. - The present invention is applied, in a first aspect, to the friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure.
- (2) Concept of verification of fire resistant security of a friction-type high-strength bolted connection.
- At the time of a high temperature due to fire, in the friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure in a steel structure, an introduced axial force is relieved and a sliding load is lowered due to relaxation of the
bolts 3 and beam members (brace members) and splice plates and a decrease in Young's modulus of elasticity. However, since it is only required that the high-strength bolted connection can finally support the long term load, security of the high-strength bolted connection in fire resistance design needs only to be evaluated in terms of bearing proof stress (long term allowable shear proof stress), and not in terms of sliding proof stress. - In accordance with equations (2.3), (2.4), Table 2.2, Table 2.3 defined in “Guide for design and work execution of high-strength bolted connection” published in 1973 and amended in 1993 by Architectural Institute of Japan (corresponding to F10T (JIS B 1186)), security of the high-strength bolted connection at the time of fire can be verified if shear proof stress of the bolt bτt (N/mm2) at high temperature satisfies the relation <1>:
- bτt≧μ×N 0/(ν×bAs) <1>
- where
- bτt: shear proof stress of the bolt at high temperature (N/mm2)
- bτt=TSt/{square root}3
- TSt: tensile strength of the bolt at high temperature (N/mm2)
- μ: coefficient of slip at room temperature
- N0: design bolt tension (N)
- ν: safety factor for long term load
- bAs: cross-sectional area of bolt shank (mm2),
- wherein the design bolt tension (N0) is expressed, for example, in accordance with the aforementioned “Guide for design and work execution of high-strength bolted connection” published by Architectural Institute of Japan, as follows:
- N 0=0.675×TS×bAe
- where
- TS: tensile strength of the bolt at room temperature (N/mm2)
- bAe: effective cross-sectional area of bolt thread (mm2).
- For example, when the coefficient of slip (μ) is 0.45 and safety factor for long term load (ν) is 1.5, the equation <1> can be rewritten as equation <1a>:
- bτt≧0.2025×TS×(bAe/bAs) <1a>.
- In addition, it can be seen that if, for example, the tensile strength of the bolt at room temperature (TS) is 1400 N/mm2 and (the effective cross-sectional area of bolt thread portion of the bolt/cross-sectional area of bolt shank) (bAe/bAs) is 0.816 for M16, M20, M24 (JIS B 0123), and 0.832 for M22 (JIS B 0123), the condition that bτt is, from equation <1a>, not less than 231 N/mm2 for M16, M20, M24, and not less than 236 N/mm2 for M22, needs only to be satisfied.
- Further, the present inventors have found that, in the fire resistant design of a friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure, since the evaluation is based on long term allowable shear proof stress, the high-temperature proof stress of nuts and washers can be finally neglected although it may somewhat affect the sliding load. Therefore, special fire resistance is not required to be given to the structural high-strength nuts or structural high-strength plain washers used in the high-strength bolted connection of the friction-type connection structure.
- Further, although columns, beams, and joint metal having assured high-temperature strength are basically used, if a fire protection is used on a part of columns and beams, columns and beams may be formed of material of a low high temperature strength to obtain a connection structure that has substantially no problem.
- 2. Case of tension-type high-strength bolted connection structures
- (1) Examples of tension-type high-strength bolted connection structures
- Tension-type high-strength bolted connection is a connection method in which stress in axial direction of high-strength bolts is transmitted, as in friction-type connection, using a compression force produced between members by tightly clamping the high-strength bolts. Representative examples of tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure include, for example, a connection structure as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4(a), and FIG. 4(b), in which a
column 5 and beams 6 (including composite beams) are connected, via T-shapedjoint metal 7, by high-strength bolts 8 (the high-strength bolts connecting the T-shaped joint metal to a column will be referred to hereinafter as tension bolts 8). As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4(a), and FIG. 4(b), the T-shaped joint metal and thebeam 6 are connected by high-strength bolts 9 in a friction-type high-strength bolted connection. - (2) Concept of verification of fire resistant security of a tension-type high-strength bolted connection.
- In a tension-type high-strength bolted connection, when heated at the time of fire, thermal expansion of the beam is constrained by the column so that compression force from the beam is produced in the tension-type connection. However, as a sliding load is lowered, a long term load (long term allowable shear force of the beam) needs to be supported by bearing (shear) of the bolts. Usually, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, there is a
floor slab 10 on theupper flange 6 a of thebeam 6, and therefore, one may suppose that the high-strength bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 have the shear proof stress at room temperature and the remaining high-strength bolts 8 have the shear proof stress of the bolts at high temperature. The T-shapedjoint metal 7 and thebeam 6 are connected by high-strength bolts 9 a in thefloor slab 10 on theupper flange 6 a and by the high-strength bolts 9 onlower flange 6 b in a friction-type high-strength bolted connection. Typically, there are providedstuds 11 in thefloor slab 10 with the function of fixing thefloor slab 10 to theupper flange 6 a of thebeam 6 against shearing displacement. - On the other hand, in a cooling process, after heating, at the time of fire, shrinkage of the
beam 6 is constrained by thecolumn 5 so that tension from thebeam 6 is produced in the tension-type connection, and therefore, a long term load (long term allowable shear force of the beam) needs to be supported by bearing (shear) of bolts. In addition, a tension force due to shrinkage of thebeam 6 acts as an additional axial force so that the high-strength bolt 8 in thelower flange 6 b (and web) of thebeam 6 where cooperation of the floor slab cannot be expected, may be broken. In this situation, one may suppose that the high-strength bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 on theupper flange 6 a of thebeam 6 have the shear proof stress at room temperature and remaining high-strength bolts 8 outside of thefloor slab 10 on theupper flange 6 a of thebeam 6 have the shear proof stress of the high-strength bolts at a high temperature. - From what has been explained above, it can be concluded that the fire resistant security of tension-type high-strength bolted connection is determined by the cooling process after heating at the time of fire wherein the number of bolts that can support the long term load (long term allowable shear force of the beam) is less. Therefore, the fire resistant security of a tension-type connection can be verified by selecting the beam having the long term allowable shear force Qs (N) at room temperature as an upper bound such that not only relation <1> is satisfied, but also following relation <2> between the long term allowable shear force Qs (N) at room temperature and the shear proof stress at room temperature bτ (N/mm2) and the shear proof stress at high temperature bτt (N/mm2):
- Qs≦{ns×bτ+(nf−ns)×bτt}×bAs <2>
- where
- Qs: long term allowable shear force of the beam at room temperature (N)
- Qs=fs×Ab
- fs: long term allowable shear proof stress of the beam (N/mm2)
- Ab: cross-sectional area of the beam (mm2)
- ns: number of tension bolts in the floor slab on the upper flange side of the beam
- bτ: shear proof stress of bolt at room temperature (N/mm2)
- bτ=TS/{square root}3
- TS: tensile strength of bolt at room temperature (N/mm2)
- nf: number of tension bolts on the upper flange side of the beam
- bτt: shear proof stress of bolt at high temperature (N/mm2)
- bτt=TSt/{square root}3
- TSt: tensile strength of bolt at high temperature (N/mm2)
- bAs: cross-sectional area of the bolt shank (mm2)
- For example, when a tension-type high-strength bolted connection as shown in FIG. 5 is composed of M22 bolts in the case of high temperature of 650° C., and shear proof stress of the bolt at room temperature (bτ) is 815 N/mm2 and shear proof stress of the bolt at high temperature of 650° C. (bτt) is 238 N/mm2, the number of
tension bolts 8 onupper flange 6 a of the beam 6 (nf) is 4, for example, and the number oftension bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 onupper flange 6 a of the beam 6 (ns) is 2, for example, and the cross-sectional area of the bolt axis (bAs) is 380 mm2, then it can be seen that the long term allowable shear force of the beam at room temperature (Qs) can be selected, from equation <2>, to be 800 kN or lower. - The present inventors have found that, as a fire resistant design of the tension-type high-strength bolted connection is evaluated by shear proof stress of the bolt at room temperature and at a high temperature, the high-temperature proof stress of nuts and washers can be neglected. Thus, the structural high-strength hexagon nuts and the structural high-strength plain washers used as nuts and washers in the tension-type connection are not required to be given any special fire resistance.
- Although
columns 5,beams 6, andjoint metal 7 having assured high-temperature strength are basically used, if fire protection is used on a part of columns and beams, columns and beams formed of material of lower high-temperature strength can be used to obtain a connection structure that has substantially no problem. - 3. Characteristics required for steel for high-strength bolt
- As regards the steel for high-strength bolts used in the high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection, that is, friction-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection and tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection of the present invention, Japanese Patent Publication No. 01-191762 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 03-173745 disclose a steel material in which, in view of the fracture surface of bolts due to delayed fracture indicating grain boundary fracture, impurities such as Mo, Cr, and the like in the chemical components constituting a steel are reduced to strengthen the grain boundary, while, in view of texture control, Mo and Cr are added for high temperature tempering at 400° C. or higher to give a property such that, even if hydrogen that is responsible for delayed fracture may enter into steel, the hydrogen does not readily lead to a fracture. As is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 05-9653, reduction of the impurity P results in reduction of P segregated in the grain boundary and is particularly effective for strengthening a grain boundary.
- However, in the case of above-mentioned steel, if hydrogen enters into steel components in excess of a certain concentration, a delayed fracture is still induced. Therefore, in order to further improve the resistance of bolts to delayed fracture, it is effective to obstruct entrance of hydrogen into steel components, or to reduce accumulation of hydrogen at prior austenite grain boundaries.
- As is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 05-70890, a technology for suppressing entrance and diffusion of hydrogen into steel material by simultaneous addition of Si and Ni to steel components is proposed. However, such addition of Si not only impairs a cold forging property of the bolts, but also leads to an increased cost.
- A steel for bolts is disclosed, in response to the needs as described above, by the invention in Japanese Patent Publication No. 07-278735 which, by composite addition of elements Mo, Cr, V that give rise to notable secondary hardening at the time of tempering, exhibits tensile strength of 1200 N/mm2 even when tempered at high temperature of not lower than 450° C., and has excellent resistance to delayed fracture. However, even in this case, there is a problem that, even if tempered at high temperature of not lower than 450° C., when tensile strength is adjusted to 1400 N/mm2 or higher, delayed fracture occurs at higher rate.
- The present inventors have found, as a result of intensive study conducted to resolve above-described problem, that an equation of the relation between the bolt tensile strength and tempering temperature, and an equation of the relation between the bolt tensile strength and carbon equivalent calculated from chemical components of a steel material can be deduced, and have confirmed that, by selecting the chemical components of a steel so as to satisfy the two equations, and by suitable quenching and tempering treatment, a steel material is obtained which can be heat-treated to give a bolt tensile strength of 1200 N/mm2 or higher and has excellent resistance to delayed fracture, and which is thus highly suitable to be used as a steel material for high-strength bolts.
- On the other hand, it has been confirmed that the fire resistant temperature of the steel having Fe as the main component and containing C, Si, Mn can be improved by adding alloy elements Cr, Mo, V, for example, used in fire resistant steel, to obtain a fire resistant temperature level of 600° C. or higher.
- From the foregoing, the present inventors have found that the high-strength bolt having excellent resistance to delayed fracture and the high-strength bolt having excellent fire resistance have a common problem from the viewpoint of chemical components of steel material so that, by solving this common problem, an ultra-high-strength bolt can be obtained which has combined both characteristics and which can realize connection structure with no fire protection and which has excellent fire resistance at 650° C.
- (1) Chemical components of steel for ultra-high-strength bolt
- Examples of chemical components (% by weight) of steel highly suitable as the steel for ultra-high-strength bolts used in the high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection, that is, friction-type connection structure with no fire protection and tension-type connection structure with no fire protection, of the present invention, will be described below.
- C is an element necessary to assure adequate tensile strength of steel by a quenching and tempering treatment. If the content of C is less than 0.30%, adequate strength at room temperature cannot be assured, and if C is added in excess of 0.45%, the toughness of steel is degraded. Therefore, the content of C is restricted to the range of not less than 0.30%˜not more than 0.45%.
- Si is an element necessary to deoxidize steel and effective for enhancing strength of steel. If the content of Si is 0.10% or more, the toughness of steel is degraded and the steel becomes notably more brittle. Also, as Si is an element which exhibits high solid solution hardening of ferrite, cold forging is difficult even when spherodization annealing is performed. In addition, since Si is an element which is likely to induce grain boundary oxidation at the time of heat treatment, and resistance to delayed fracture of bolts tends to be degraded due to its notch effect, the content of Si should be decreased as far as possible. Therefore, the content of Si is to be restricted to less than 0.10%.
- Mn is an element that is effective for improving hardenability. However, if the content is 0.40% or lower, desired effect cannot be obtained, and if Mn is added in an amount of 1.00% or more, temper embrittlement is produced, leading to a degradation of resistance to delayed fracture. Therefore, the content of Mn is to be restricted to the range of more than 0.40%˜less than 1.00%.
- P is an element that segregates at the grain boundaries and lowers the grain boundary strength and degrades resistance to delayed fracture. P is also an element that, in hydrochloric acid which is a remarkably corrosive environment, increases the amount of corrosion of steel through its promoting effect on the hydrogen production at the steel surface, and therefore, a content of P is to be lowered as far as possible. If the content of P is 0.010% or more, amount of hydrogen entering into steel increases notably. Thus, the content of P is to be restricted to less than 0.010%.
- S is an element that segregates at the grain boundaries and thereby promotes embrittlement of steel. Therefore, a content of S is to be lowered as far as possible. If content of S exceeds 0.010%, embrittlement of steel becomes notable. Thus, the content of S is to be restricted to 0.010% or less.
- Cr is an element that improves hardenability and high temperature strength of steel and is effective in giving steel the resistance to temper softening. If the amount of addition is less than 0.5%, the above-described effect cannot be obtained. Thus, in view of economy, the added amount is to be restricted to the range of 0.5% or higher˜less than 1.5%.
- Mo is an element that is most effective in improving high temperature strength and is also effective in improving the resistance to delayed fracture by permitting high temperature tempering. If the added amount is less than 0.35%, the effect described above cannot be obtained, and if the added amount is in excess of 1.5%, a solid solution of undissolved carbide in the mother phase is unlikely to be produced at the time of tempering, leading to degradation of ductility. Thus, the added amount is restricted to the range of more than 0.35%˜less than 1.5%.
- V is an element that improves strength (including high temperature strength) of steel by precipitating as minute nitrides and carbides at the time of tempering, and permits high temperature tempering, and is also effective in the size reduction of prior austenite particles. Further, the carbides and nitrides that precipitate at the time of tempering provide trap sites for hydrogen and are effective in remarkably improving the resistance to delayed fracture by decreasing the amount of hydrogen accumulated at grain boundaries. However, if the added amount is 0.3% or less, particle size No. 10 cannot be achieved for prior austenite particles, and therefore, the resistance to delayed fracture cannot be improved. If the added amount exceeds 1.0%, the cold forging characteristics of bolts are impaired. As V is an expensive element, economy must also taken into account so that the content is to be restricted to the range of more than 0.3%˜1.0% or less.
- (2) Tempering temperature characteristics
- Since delayed fracture occurs as fracture at grain boundaries of prior austenite grains, in order to improve the resistance to delayed fracture, it is effective to avoid low temperature temper embrittlement region of 250˜400° C. Further, in order to suppress segregation of film-formed cementite in prior austenite grain boundaries, it is effective to control the form of carbides by adopting higher tempering temperature. It is also effective to precipitate carbides and nitrides of V which serve as trap sites for hydrogen in order to decrease hydrogen accumulated in grain boundaries. Thus, it is possible to select a tempering temperature of 450° C. or higher.
- However, the present inventors were not restricted by the above-mentioned method, and have found, from experimental results, that the resistance to delayed fracture can be improved and delayed fracture can be reliably avoided by selecting tempering temperature satisfying the equation <3> of the relation between tensile strength TS (N/mm2) of high-strength bolts and tempering temperature (° C.) and the equation <4> of the relation between tensile strength TS (N/mm2) of high-strength bolts and carbon equivalent Ceq (%).
- By using a steel material satisfying these conditions to form high-strength bolts, ultra-high-strength bolts with tensile strength (TS) of bolts at room temperature of, for example, 1200 N/mm2, and having excellent fire resistance with the shear proof stress (bτt) of bolts at 650° C. satisfying the above-described relation <1> can be obtained, and by using these ultra-high-strength bolts, the friction-type high-strength bolted connection with no fire protection and the tension-type high-strength bolted connection with no fire protection can be realized.
- TS≦(1.1×T+850) <3>
- TS≦(550×Ceq+1000) <4>
- where
- TS: tensile strength of high strength bolts at room temperature (N/mm2)
- T: tempering temperature (° C.)
- Ceq: carbon equivalent (%)
- Ceq=C+(Mn/6)+(Si/24)+(Ni/40)+(Cr/5)+(Mo/4)+(V/14).
- [Examples of experimental tempering]
- Using the inventive steel samples (1˜10) having chemical compositions as shown in Table 1, wire rods of φ21.5 mm in diameter were subjected to hot rolling, and high-strength bolts with bolt thread of M22 were formed and adjusted by quenching and tempering to tensile strength of bolts in the range of 1200˜1700 (N/mm2) to obtain ultra-high-strength bolts.
- The tensile strength of bolts was adjusted by the composition of the steel and the tempering temperature, with the tempering temperature in the range of 290˜700° C. This tempering was performed to give high temperature conditions for evaluating high temperature characteristics. This tempering temperature T (° C.) and tensile strength TS (N/mm2) of ultra-high-strength bolts of experimental examples after tempering (

The ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention have the tensile strength at room temperature adjusted by heat treatment to 1400 N/mm2 or higher, and long term allowable shear proof stress of this ultra-high-strength bolts is 236 N/mm2. The long term allowable shear proof stress of Comparative example 1, 2 is 147 N/mm2.
- FIG. 8 shows that the ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention have tensile strength at room temperature of 1412 N/mm2 (=815 N/mm2×{square root}3), and have the shear proof stress at 650° C. (bτt) of the bolt satisfying above-described relation <1> and the shear proof stress at 650° C. (bτt) is 1.3 times that of Comparative example 2.
- FIGS. 9, 10, and11 show, for ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention having bolt thread of M16, M20, and M24, respectively, the relation between the shear proof stress TS/{square root}3 (N/mm2) and test temperature (° C.). Each of the Figures shows that the ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention have the shear proof stress of the bolt at 650° C. (bτt) satisfying the relation <1>.
- Example 2 is a case of tension-type high-strength bolted connection structure in which, as shown in FIG. 5, a
column 5 and T-shapedjoint metal 7 are connected by high-strength bolts 8 and there is afloor slab 10. Thecolumn 5 and the T-shaped joint metal are formed of material having assured high temperature strength at 650° C., and the beams are formed of material having tensile strength in the 400 N/mm2 class. - FIGS. 12 and 13 show examples of a tension-type connection in which a
column 5 and a T-shapedjoint metal 7 are connected by high-strength bolts having bolt thread of M22 (JIS B 0123) and number oftension bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 onupper flange 6 a of thebeam 6 are, respectively, two and four. - Table 3 shows examples of the upper bound of selectable beam cross section (H-section beam), for the high-strength bolted connection structure of FIGS. 12 and 13, that is determined from long term allowable shear proof stress Qs of the beam at 650° C. using the above-described relation <2> based on numerical values indicated in FIG. 8. From Table 3, it can be seen that the ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention permit a beam having the section H-400×200×8×13 to be selected in the case where number of
tension bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 is two (FIG. 12), and a beam having the section H-600×200×12×22 to be selected in the case where number oftension bolts 8 a in thefloor slab 10 is four (FIG. 13), and that a beam having larger long term allowable shear proof stress Qs can be selected than with bolts of the Comparative examples.TABLE 3 Number of Number of bolts in bolts on floor slab Example of upper bound of upper on upper Long term selectable beam section High strength Tension type flange side flange side allowable shear (for tensile strength of bolt connection of beam: nf of beam: ns force of beam: Qs 400 N/mm2 class) Comparative example 1 General F10T 4 2 557 kN or less H-350 × 175 × 7 × 11 bolt 6 4 1,023 kN or less H-600 × 200 × 9 × 12 2 Fire 4 2 620 kN or less H-350 × 175 × 7 × 11 resistant 6 4 1,096 kN or less H-600 × 200 × 9 × 16 F10T bolt Inventive Fire 4 2 800 kN or less H-400 × 200 × 8 × 13 example resistant 6 4 1,420 kN or less H-600 × 200 × 12 × 22 ultra-high strength bolt - From what has been described in the foregoing, it can be confirmed that the ultra-high-strength bolts of the present invention have excellent fire resistance (high temperature strength) and excellent resistance to delayed fracture at room temperature and at high temperature of 650° C., and these characteristics fully satisfy the provisions of “Guide for design of high strength bolts” published in 1973 and amended in 1993 by Architectural Institute of Japan, and that, by using these ultra-high-strength bolts, high-strength bolted connection structures with no fire protection, that is, friction-type high-strength bolted connection structures with no fire protection and tension-type high-strength bolted connection structures with no fire protection, can be realized.
- The present invention is by no means restricted to structures and examples as described above, and conditions of the connection structure and conditions of high-strength bolts (including fire resistant steel used for construction) may be modified depending upon the connection to be formed, site of usage, and environmental conditions, within the scope of the appended claims.
- The present invention presupposes that, in high-strength bolted connection structure forming steel structure for which fire resistance is required, main members to be connected (for example, columns, beams, or braces) have, basically, an adequate high-temperature strength at 650° C. and can realize connection structures with no fire protection, and in order to fully exploit the high-temperature strength of these main members (for example, pillars, beams, or braces), the present invention uses ultra-high-strength bolts having, for example, a 1.4 times or more larger bolt tensile strength at room temperature than conventional F10T bolts and a 1.3 times larger shear proof stress at 650° C. than conventional fire resistive F10T bolts to realize a high-strength bolted connection structure with no fire protection at high temperature of 650° C., to thereby realize reduction of cost as well as reduction of work execution time.
- For nuts and washers used in the present invention, when the bolted connection passes to a bearing state at the time of a fire, the same shear stress as in high strength bolt does not act on nuts and washers, so that general high-strength hexagon nuts and structural high-strength plain washers for which no fire resistance is required may be used to avoid a cost increase.
- Further, a part of beam members and joint metal used in the present invention can be strictly selected depending upon the site of usage to thereby reduce the material cost and work execution time.
