Post Buckling

The post-buckling of stiffened, cross-ply laminated, circular determine the effects of shell lamination scheme and stiffeners on the reduced load-carrying capacity. The effect of geometric imperfection is also included. The analysis is based on the layerwise shell theory of Reddy, and the “smeared stiffener” technique is used to account for the stiffener stiffness. Nu cylinders under uniform axial compression is investigated to merical results for stiffened and unstiffened cylinders are presented, showing that imperfection-sensitivity is strictly related to the number of nearly simultaneous buckling modes.

The buckling behavior of thin-walled steel structures under load is still imperfectly understood, in spite of much research over the past 50 years. In this paper, the buckling behaviors of H-section columns under compression have been simulated with ANSYS. In the analysis, contact pairs between column ends and end blocks have been introduced into the model, and the load carrying capacity of the columns with four kinds of end constraint conditions and various typical initial geometric imperfections has been calculated and discussed. The results indicate that the load carrying capacity is most sensitive to the flexural imperfection, and the constraint condition cannot change the imperfection sensitivity of a column under compression, but improving restrain condition can heighten the load carrying capacity. They are helpful to the use and the tolerance control in the manufacture process of thin-walled H-section steel structures.

Thin Walled

The multimodal buckling of thin-walled isotropic columns with open cross-sections under uniform compression is discussed. Column lengths were selected to enable strong interactions between selected eigenmodes. In the case of short columns or very long ones subjected to compression, single-mode buckling can be observed only and the effect under discussion does not occur. In the present study, the influence of higher global modes on the load-carrying capacity and behavior in the post-buckling state of thin-walled structures with open cross-sections is analyzed in detail. In the literature known to the authors, higher global modes are always neglected practically in the analysis due to their very high values of bifurcation loads. However, the phenomenon of an unexpected loss in the load-carrying capacity of opened columns can be observed in the experimental investigations. It might be explained using multimode buckling when the higher global distortional-flexural buckling modes are taken into account. In the conducted numerical simulations, a significant influence of higher global distortional-flexural buckling modes on the post-buckling equilibrium path of uniformly compressed columns with C- and TH-shaped (the so-called “top-hat”) cross-sections was observed. The columns of two lengths, for which strong interactions between selected eigenmodes were seen, were subject to consideration. Two numerical methods were applied, namely, the semi-analytical method (SAM) using Koiter’s perturbation approach and the finite element method (FEM), to solve the problem. The SAM results showed that the third mode had a considerable impact on the load-carrying capacity, whereas the FEM results confirmed a catastrophic effect of the modes on the behavior of the structures under analysis, which led to a lack of convergence of numerical calculations despite an application of the Riks algorithm. All elastic-plastic effects were neglected.

Interactive Buckling

The distribution of the internal forces corresponding to the individual buckling modes of lip-channel (LC) beams is investigated using the Semi Analytical Method (SAM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). Channel section beams made of 8-layered GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) laminate with three different layer arrangements were considered. The effect of the internal forces on the non-linear first-order coefficients corresponding to the interactive buckling was also studied. Moreover, distributions of the internal forces corresponded to the loading, leading to structure failure for which the load-carrying capacity was determined. The results indicated a high influence of the Nx internal force component on the buckling loads and load-carrying capacity of the LC-beams.

This paper deals with the behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites retrofitted RCC piles subjected to axial compression loads. Currently the awareness of using FRP increases rapidly in engineering fields and also among public. Retrofitting becomes vital for aged and damaged concrete structures, piles, and so forth, to improve its load carrying capacity and to extend the service life. The load carrying capacity of piles retrofitted with basalt unidirectional fabric was studied experimentally. 15 nos. of RCC end bearing pile elements were cast with same reinforcement for axial compression experiment. Three piles were used as conventional elements, another 3 piles were used as double BFRP wrapped pile elements, and remaining 9 piles were used as retrofitted piles with BFRP double wrapping after preloaded to 30%, 60%, and 90% of ultimate load of conventional element. The effects of retrofitting of RCC pile elements were observed and a mathematical prediction was developed for calculation of retrofitting strength. The stress vs. strain relationship curve, load vs. deformation curve, preloaded elements strength losses are tabulated and plotted. Besides, crack patterns of conventional elements and tearing BFRP wrapped elements were also observed. The BFRP wrapped elements and retrofitted elements withstand more axial compressive load than the conventional elements.

Abstract This study is carried out to investigate the effectiveness of using externally applied epoxy mortar on joints of masonry wall panels to enhance their load carrying capacity under axial compressive and lateral loads. A total of six 113 mm thick masonry wall panels of size 1200 x 1200 mm were constructed for this study. Four out of six walls were strengthened using locally available CHEMDUR-31 epoxy mortar on joints. The remaining two walls were tested as control specimens. The control and strengthened wall panels were tested under axial compression and lateral loads. In axial compression test, out of plane central deflection and vertical strain at the center of wall panel were recorded while in lateral load test, in-plane lateral displacement of wall and horizontal strain at the center were recorded at each load increment. Failure pattern of each wall panel is also studied to notice its structural behavior. The results of this experimental study showed an increase of 45% and 60% in load carrying capacity under axial compression and lateral bending, respectively by the use of strengthening technique employed in this study.
