The thermo-elastoviscoplastic buckling behavior of plates is investigated. The analysis is based on nonlinear kinematic relations and nonlinear rate-dependent unified constitutive equations which include both Bodner-Partom’s and Walker’s material models. A finite element approach is employed to predict the inelastic buckling behavior. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effects of several parameters, which include temperature, small initial imperfections, and the thickness of the plate. Comparisons of buckling responses for the two models, Bodner-Partom’s and Walker’s, are also presented.

A new finite element model for reinforced concrete beam-column joints is proposed. The model considers the effects of bond-slip and shear deformations in the joint panel region. The problems associated with modeling bond-slip of anchored reinforcing bars are discussed. The proposed bond-slip model is examined at the element level by comparing its predictions with other analytical and experimental results. The ability of the model to simulate bond deterioration and eventual pullout of anchored reinforcing bars under severe cyclic excitation is demonstrated. This model is incorporated into the global beam-column joint element. Further comparisons are made between the predictions of the proposed beam-column joint model and other analytical and experimental results under reversed cyclic loading to show the validity of the model to describe the bond-slip behavior of the joints.Key words: bond, bond-slip, finite element, beam-column, reinforced concrete, cyclic.

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars to reinforce concrete beams has received significant attention in the past decade due to their corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and excellent non-magnetic properties. Glass FRP (GFRP) reinforcing bars have gained popularity due to the relatively lower cost compared to carbon FRP (CFRP) bars. In this study, sixteen concrete beam finite element models were created using the finite element computer program ANSYS to perform linear and non-linear analyses. Twelve beams were longitudinally reinforced with GFRP bars, while the remaining four beams were reinforced with conventional steel bars as control specimens. In terms of mechanical properties, FRP reinforcing bars have lower modulus of elasticity compared to conventional reinforcing steel and remain linear elastic up to failure. This leads to lack of plasticity and a brittle failure of beams reinforced with FRP bars. The objective of this study is to investigate flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars. Some of the parameters incorporated in the numerical analysis include longitudinal reinforcement ratio and compressive strength of concrete, both of which affect the flexural capacity of beams. It is shown in this study that replacement of traditional reinforcing steel reinforced bars by GFRP bars significantly decreases mid-span deflection and increases ultimate load. The strain distribution along GFRP longitudinal reinforcing bars is totally different from that of traditional steel bars.

Due to the complexity involved in the inelastic buckling collapse mechanism of stiffened shell structures, the reliability analysis of submarine pressure hull, in which failure is dictated by inelastic effects, assumes great significance among structural engineers. In spite of many years of efforts by different authors to develop good prediction techniques for plastic and elastic-plastic buckling of stiffened shells and also to use the reliability concepts in the submarine pressure hull structures, comprehensive and reliable methods are still scarce. Hence in this paper a rigorous Finite Element analysis of a typical internally ring stiffened submarine pressure hull with failure governed by inelastic overall buckling has been done using the general purpose finite element software NISA. The samples required for each random variable were generated using Random Polar Sampling Technique (RPST) in which the combinations of variates are obtained using a random polar sampling of Latin hypercube sampled values. For the obtained collapse pressures, the reliability of the pressure hull structure has been determined and the effect of mean service loads on reliability has been analysed by taking different Central Safety Factors. The results were validated using Johnson-Ostenfeld Inelastic Correction method and the conclusions are advanced.
