Based on nominal stress, this paper proposed a fatigue life estimation method of V-shaped butt welded joints. Then, the fatigue bearing capacity of the base metal under the same fatigue load was used as design goal of the V-shaped butt welded joints and an equal fatigue bearing capacity (EFBC) design method for V-shaped butt welds was thus formed. High strength low alloy steel Q690 was chosen as the experimental material to carry out the equal fatigue bearing capacity design.

In view of the problems of large stress and severe bearing heating in double-drum winch at present, this paper adopted a new method to enhance bearing capacity for double-drum winch by adding anti-pressure wheels between two drums. Finite element methods were used to analyze the strength of 4000kN-traction double-drum winches with anti-pressure wheels and without anti-pressure wheels respectively. The results of the analysis revealed that the stress of the cylinder bearing decreased from 264MPa to 167MPa. The new method by adding anti-pressure wheels had remarkably improved the endurance of the bearing. Therefore, the design method can be widely used in large-traction double-drum winch.

The authors present an experimental and analytical study of slotted-in connections for joining walls in the Masonite flexible building (MFB) system. These connections are used for splicing wall elements and for tying down uplifting forces and resisting horizontal shear forces in stabilizing walls. The connection plates are inserted in a perimeter slot in the PlyBoard™ panel (a composite laminated wood panel) and fixed mechanically with screw fasteners. The load-bearing capacity of the slotted-in connection is determined experimentally and derived analytically for different failure modes. The test results show ductile postpeak load-slip characteristics, indicating that a plastic design method can be applied to calculate the horizontal load-bearing capacity of this type of shear walls.

This paper is focused on the experimental study and numerical simulation of isolated spread concrete foundation slab with a large width-to-height ratio (in short ISCFS-LWR) to investigate the failure modes and uplift bearing capacity, as well as the design method of uplift capacity. First, a total of 16 isolated spread concrete foundation slabs with the width-to-height ratio varied from 1.5 to 4 and the hypotenuse slope varied from 10° to 30° were tested under uplift load. Based on the test results, effects of the width-to-height ratio and the hypotenuse slope on uplift bearing capacity of ISCFS-LWR were analyzed and discussed. Then, several numerical models were built using the finite element software ABAQUS and the results of numerical analysis agreed well with the test results. Furthermore, the cross-sectional performance of ISCFS-LWR was studied, and the coefficients of internal force arm were also evaluated further using previous validated numerical models. To obtain the suggested design method of uplift capacity for the foundation slab, effective width correction coefficient k and slope correction coefficient j were introduced to propose a design formula. Finally, the proposed design method was applied to a practical engineering, and the economic indicators obtained from the suggested design method were compared with that from the original design method. The results of this paper showed that the correction coefficient jsks based on numerical analysis agreed well with the recommended correction coefficient jk, and the error was between 1% and 3.4%, by which the reasonability of the proposed design method of uplift capacity for ISCFS-LWR has been proved. It can also be found that the economic benefits of the practical engineering in this paper were obvious due to the suggested design method, and this paper can provide a reference for other engineering practices and the further research work on ISCFS-LWR.

The cyclic loading test of three steel high performance concrete(SHPC) structural walls was conducted and the failure pattern of the structural walls under the combined effect of axial force, bending moment, and shear force was researched. Based on the experimental results, the displacement-based deformation capacity design method was proposed for SHPC structural walls. It is obtained for the interrelated relationships among the ultimate drift ratio, the axial load ratio, the characteristic value of stirrup content and the aspect ratio. It is concluded that the increasing the characteristic value of stirrup content and limiting the axial load ratio were effective means to improve ductility. The characteristic value of stirrup content of SHPC structural walls with different ultimate drift ratio and axial load ratio were proposed and the conclusion can be referred by the design of SHPC structural walls.

A case of the long-short-pile composite foundation in liquefied soft soil under a 30-storey high-rise building is presented, in which the long and short piles are made of cement-flyash-gravel (CFG) and lime. A new design calculation method of bearing capacity and settlement of composite foundation is introduced, and the calculated value is compared with the actual measurement. The results show that the liquefaction of soft ground is eliminated and the demand of load and settlement for upper building is met. At the same time, it is proved that the design method is feasible.
