Abstract The consecutive multiple impact resistance of reinforced concrete pier column becomes the most concern in the engineering field. Numerical simulation the process of consecutive multiple lateral impacts is the necessary measures to master the internal mechanism. The fine 3D finite element model is established combining solid element and beam element. The dynamic damage constitutive model of concrete is developed. To react to problem of calculative efficiency and damage accumulation effect, the reduced integration method and full restart analytical method of explicit dynamic analysis strategy is taken using element failure criterion. The translation process of the system energy, the time history value of impact mass acceleration and strain gauge and failure mode of the reinforced concrete pier are compared with the experiment results. The feasibility of the modelling and the validity of the analysis strategy are validated. This study can provide computation basis for research of reinforced concrete structures under consecutive multiple impact.

In this paper, a new method for the numerical simulation of structural model is proposed，which is employed to analyze the pounding response of caissons subjected to storm surge loads．According to the new method，the simulation process is divided into two steps. Firstly, the wave propagation caused by storm surge is simulated by the wave-generating tool of Flow-3D, and recording the wave force time history on the caisson. Secondly，a refined 3D finite element model of caisson is established，and the wave force load is applied on the caisson according to the measured data in the first step for further analysis of structural pounding response using the explicit solver of LSDYNA. The whole simulation of pounding response of a caisson caused by “Sha Lijia” typhoon is carried out. The results show that the different wave direction results in the different angle caisson collisions, which will lead to different failure mode of caisson, and when the angle of 60 between wave direction and front/back wall is simulated, the numerical pounding failure mode is consistent with the situation.

The Impact

To precisely evaluate the retrofitting effectiveness of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) sheets on the impact response of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams, a non-linear finite element model was developed to simulate the structural response of T-beams with CFRP under impact loads. The numerical model was firstly verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental data, i.e., impact force, reaction force, and mid-span displacement. The strengthening effect of CFRP was analyzed from the section damage evaluation. Then the impact force, mid-span displacement, and failure mode of CFRP-strengthened RC T-beams were studied in comparison with those of un-strengthened T-beams. In addition, the influence of the impact resistance of T-beams strengthened with FRP was investigated in terms of CFRP strengthening mode, CFRP strengthening sizes, CFRP layers and FRP material types. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overall stiffness of the T-beams was improved significantly due to external CFRP strips. Compared with the un-strengthened beam, the maximum mid-span displacement of the CFRP-strengthened beam was reduced by 7.9%. Additionally, the sectional damage factors of the whole span of the CFRP-strengthened beam were reduced to less than 0.3, indicating that the impact resistance of the T-beams was effectively enhanced.

Specifically detailed pin-supported walls with steel dampers have been used to seismically strengthen an 11-story steel reinforced concrete building. By looking at the observed damage and monitored motions of the building during the M9.0 Tohoku earthquake in 2011, it is demonstrated that nonstructural reinforced concrete partition walls have had a major effect on its seismic behavior during the earthquake, the neglect of which constitutes a major design uncertainty. A finite element model used to assist the retrofit design is calibrated, taking advantage of the accelerograms obtained during the earthquake. The results of nonlinear time-history analysis investigations with the modified model identify both the positive and negative effects of the nonstructural walls at various ground motion intensities, and suggest that the pin-supported wall-frame system exhibits higher robustness against both record-to-record and modeling uncertainties than its bare-frame counterpart does.

The Impact

In order to reveal the impact mechanical properties and their key influencing factors of the bolted rock under the lateral impact load, through the lateral drop hammer impact test, the time-history curve of impact force, axial force of the bolt, and surface strain of the sample under different combination types of influencing factors is obtained, and the whole process of deformation and failure of the bolted rock is recorded. The test results show that the material of the bolt has a significant influence on the impact force and axial force of the bolt. There is a positive correlation between bolt strength and impact peak and impact attenuation slope and a negative correlation between bolt strength and impact action time. The effect of prestress on the impact resistance of the bolted rock was also evaluated by the test which suggested that prestress of the bolt can significantly reduce both impact time and bolt axial force of the bolted rock but has limited effect on the impact force. It was also found that the time-history curve of the impact force of anchoring rock mass had significant difference with full-length anchoring and nonanchoring. Compared with the nonanchoring bolt, the full-length anchored rock mass has a larger impact peak and shorter action time, which means that the impact resistance of the full-length bolted rock has a certain degree of weakening. Through scientific research, determining the reasonable bolt material, prestress value, and anchorage style can improve the impact resistance of the sample.

Reinforced Concrete Chimney

On the basis of plastic-elastic mechanics and finite element method, one selected 150m high reinforced concrete chimney was taken as the target in this paper to analyze the mechanical condition of directional demolition blasting, the capsizing time, the internal force of support abutment and constitutive relation of the chimney during directional blasting. A finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney was established through separated modeling method by finite element analysis software LS-DYNA of ANSYS. Results show that the constitutive relation given by this paper conforms to reality. The finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney established by separated modeling method is reasonable. The real overturn process, capsizing location and capsizing length of towering reinforced concrete chimney during directional demolition blasting are agree with that of numerical simulation.

Masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames represent a very common construction typology across the Mediterranean countries. The presence of infills substantially modifies the global seismic performances of buildings in terms of strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. Although several research studies focused on the overall performances of infilled reinforced concrete frames, the modeling of infill panels remains an open issue due to the complex interaction between the infill and the frame and the uncertainties involved in the definition of the problem. In the present paper, an existing masonry-infilled RC frame designed according to obsolete seismic codes is chosen as a case study. A refined three-dimensional finite element model is built for performing nonlinear static and time-history analyses in order to investigate some significant aspects related to the modeling of infills. In particular, it is investigated the effect of different infill constitutive models on the seismic performance of infilled RC building expressed in terms of engineering demand parameters such as interstory drift ratios and peak floor accelerations, and on the generation of damage fragility curves.

In this paper, a reinforce concrete inner supporting of tunnel working well is taken as the research object. Based on the result of field monitoring and numerical simulation, the change rules of axial force of inner-supporting are analyzed. By the method of field monitoring, the force condition of reinforced concrete inner-supporting can be understand. By the method of numerical simulation, the finite element model of reinforced concrete inner-supporting can be modeled by ABAQUS. The results show that, the error of measured values and design values is caused by the sensitivity of vibrating wire sensor, temperature and the shrinkage of concrete. This paper can provide a reference for similar measurement projects, whose measured values much larger than design values.
