The Impact

This paper describes a study on the load bearing capacity of super-carburized gears. Test gears and rollers of MAC14 and SCM415 steels were super or eutectoid-carburized under different carburizing conditions. The impact and bending fatigue tests for test gears and the contact fatigue test for test rollers were carried out. The effects of case depths on the impact and bending fatigue strengths of gears and the surface durability of rollers were determined. The impact breaking limit energy of super-carburized gears was found to be larger by about 15% than that of eutectoid-carburized gears irrespective of case depth. The bending fatigue strength of the super-carburized gear was found to be almost equal to that of the eutectoid-carburized gear. The surface durability of the super-carburized roller becomes larger with an increase of case depth and is larger than that of eutectoid-carburized rollers in the case of larger case depth. The surface failure modes for super and eutectoid-carburized rollers were spalling. The load bearing capacity of super and eutectoid-carburized gears was found to become larger by shot-peening.

This paper describes the effects of surface rolling on the load bearing capacity of sintered metal gears. Sintered metal gears and rollers were surface-rolled under various amounts of rolling. The effects of rolling on the surface properties were examined by measuring the porosities and hardness near the surfaces of the rolled gear teeth and rollers. Bending fatigue tests for the surface-rolled sintered metal gears and contact fatigue tests for the rollers were carried out. The effects of the amount of rolling on the load bearing capacity of sintered metal gears and rollers were determined, and these results were compared with the results for as-sintered and wrought steel gears and rollers.

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.

Based on the experimental results, this paper presents the effects of concrete-filled in chord on the static behavior of rectangular hollow section (RHS) steel tubular trusses, including failure modes, load bearing capacity and structural stiffness. Failure of RHS trusses occurs at joints wether concrete-filled in chord or not, concrete-filled in chord changed the failure mode. Load bearing capacity and stiffness of joints subjected to compression load increased significantly, while it is limited to the tension joints. Concrete-filled in the compression chord tube can increase its stiffness significantly, while tension chord tube, it is not that obvious. Finally, based on the results discussed, failure modes and their formulas of calculating the load bearing capacity are discussed. Meanwhile, two methods, that is, amplified factor method and stiffness discounting method, which calculate the structural displacement when considering the joint deformation effects are presented.

Debonding Load

intermediate crack-induced debondingis one of the most dominant failure modes in FRP-strengthened RC beams. Different code models and provisions have been proposed to mitigateintermediate crack-induced debondingfailure.However, these models and provisions can not mitigate this failure mode effectively. Recnetly, new models have been proposed to solve this problem. Out of all the existing models, four typical ones are investigated in the current study. A comprehensivecomparison among these models is carried out in order to evaluate their performance and accuracy. Test results offlexural specimens with intermediate crack-induced debonding failurecollected from the existing literature are used in the current comparison. The effectivenessand accuracy of each model have been evaluated based on these experimental results. It is shown that the current modals are all conservative and inadequite to effectively mitigate intermediate crack-induced debonding in flexurally strengthened members.

The Impact

In view of development and repair costs, support of structures is imperative. Several factors, for example, design and calculation errors, absence of appropriate installation, change of structures application, exhaustion, seismic tremor, fire and natural conditions diminish their strength. In such cases, structures have need of rehabilitation and restoration to achieve their original performance. One of the most up to date materials for retrofitting is carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) that can provide an amount of restriction to postpone buckling of thin steel walls. This paper provides a numerical and experimental investigation on CFRP strengthened short steel tubes with initial horizontal and vertical deficiency under compression. Ten square and circular specimens were tested to study effects of the following parameters: (1) position of deficiency, horizontal or vertical; (2) tube shape, square or circular; (3) CFRP strengthening. In the experiments, axial static loading was gradually applied and for the numerical study three-dimensional (3D) static nonlinear analysis method using ABAQUS software was performed. The results show that deficiency reduces load-bearing capacity of steel columns and the impact of horizontal deficiency is higher than the impact of vertical deficiency, in both square and circular tubes. Use of CFRP materials for strengthening of short steel columns with initial deficiency indicates that fibers play a considerable role on increasing load bearing capacity, reducing stress at the damage location, preventing deformation caused by deficiency and delaying local buckling. Both numerical and experimental outcomes are in good agreement, which underlines the accuracy of the models adopted.

The Impact

The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in multi-story buildings has become increasingly popular. Selection of HSC over normal strength concrete (NSC) allows for reducing the dimensions of the columns sections. However, this reduction has consequences on the structural performance in case of fire, as smaller cross sections lead to faster temperature increase in the section core. Besides, HSC experiences higher rates of strength loss with temperature and a higher susceptibility to spalling than NSC. The fire performance of a column can thus be affected by selecting HSC over NSC. This research performs a comparison of the fire performance of HSC and NSC columns, based on numerical simulations by finite element method. The thermal and structural analyses of the columns are conducted with the software SAFIR®. The variation of concrete strength with temperature for the different concrete classes is adopted from Eurocode. Different configurations are compared, including columns with the same load bearing capacity and columns with the same cross section. The relative loss of load bearing capacity during the fire is found to be more pronounced for HSC columns than for NSC columns. The impact on fire resistance rating is discussed. These results suggest that consideration of fire loading limits the opportunities for use of HSC, especially when the objective is to reduce the dimensions of the columns sections.

Rectangular Tube

The double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace is a new type of buckling energy consumption buckling-restrained brace. Because of its external restraining members, which are bound by high-strength bolts, its mechanical mechanism is more complicated and its failure modes are more varied. In this study, the double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace composition and three types of end constructions are introduced in detail. The influences of different design parameters on the performance of double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace are studied by numerical analysis methods; the possible failure modes and the influence of the end strengthening construction of double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace are also investigated, and a number of suggestions are proposed to improve this design. This study shows that the pinned double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace has four types of typical failure modes, namely, overall buckling failure, external end local pressure-bearing failure, bending failure of the extended strengthened core region and bolt threading failure. Rational design can prevent a buckling-restrained brace from losing its load-bearing capacity. In addition, compared with the end strengthening scheme with an external hoop, the end strengthening scheme with a strengthened bench can improve the load-bearing capacity of the double rectangular tube assembled buckling-restrained brace more effectively, and a reasonable design can also save materials.

Abstract The performance of textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) under the action of pseudo-static load up to collapse was evaluated. The test of TRCCPs under axial and transverse loading was conducted, and the results were compared with those for steel wire mesh reinforced-concrete composite panels (SMRCCPs). Ceram-site concrete was utilized as the panel matrix owing to its lightweight and insulation characteristics. The ultimate load bearing capacity, load-deformation and load-strain relationships, and failure modes were discussed and investigated in comparison with the findings of non-linear finite-element-model (FEM) analysis and the analytic method on the basis of the reinforced concrete (RC) theory. The analysis results indicate that TRCCP is suitable for use as a potential structural member for a wall or slab system of buildings, and the typical RC theory can be applied to predict the ultimate load bearing capacity if modified suitably.

The application of Aluminum alloy T-stub joints has been found widely in China recently, while the research achievements of the joint are far from adequate for design. This paper is focused on the ultimate load-bearing capacity of aluminum alloy T-stub joints. On the basis of Kulak prying model, formulas for calculating ultimate load-bearing capacity, considering four types of failure modes, are derived. The numerical simulation is carried out by means of ABAQUS FEA. Numerical results are verified by comparing with previous results obtained from experimental analysis. A parametric analysis is performed to investigate the influence of several geometrical parameters on the behavior of aluminum alloy T-stub joints including failure modes, ultimate load-bearing capacity and effective length of flanges. These numerical results are also compared with those calculated by relevant formulas in EC9.
