Single-layer reticulated shells are widely used in spatial structures. One critical factor that has to be considered in the design of reticulated shells is the significant adverse impact of high temperature caused by fire on the structures. In order to study the variation of elasto-plastic bearing capacity under high temperature by fire, four types of single-layer reticulated shells (i.e. K6, Geodesic, Schwedler and Lamella) are investigated under two typical fire conditions (i.e. global nonuniform temperature distribution and local high temperature) by the geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis and statistical methods. Practical design formulae for calculating the elasto-plastic bearing capacity of reticulated shell structures under different fire conditions and ambient temperatures are proposed based on the numerical simulation results.

The ultimate bearing capacity of the single-layer latticed shell structure, calculated without considering the single-member instability(P-δ effect), was not consistent to the actual value of ultimate bearing capacity in practice. It was studied in detail that the ultimate bearing capacity of the single-layer latticed shell structure considering the member instability by proposing a method of multi-element simulation. The value of the ultimate bearing capacity decreased by 15.6% after considering the member instability taking a single-layer latticed shell structure with a 40m span as example. The analysis results show that the value of ultimate bearing capacity is significantly affected for the single-layer latticed shell structure with a small span and high rise-span ratio

A ring footing is found to be of practical importance in supporting symmetrical constructions for example silos, oil storage container etc. In the present paper, numerical analysis was carried out with explicit code FLAC3D 7.0 to investigate bearing capacity of a ring footing on geogrid reinforced sand. Effects of the ratio n of its inner/outer diameter (Di/D) of a ring footing, an optimum depth to lay the geogrid layer were examined. It was found that an intersection zone was developed in soil under inner-side (aisle) of ring footing, contributing to its bearing capacity. Substantial increase of bearing capacities could be realized if ratio n of a ring footing was around 0.6. Numerical results also showed that, bearing capacity of a ring footing could increase significantly if a single-layer geogrid was laid at a proper depth under the footing. Similar contribution was found if a double-layer geogrid was implemented. However, such increases appeared to be rather limited if a triple-layer geogrid or a four-layer geogrid was used. A double-layer geogrid was recommended to increase the bearing capacity of a ring footing; the depth to lay this double-layer geogrid was also discussed.

Over the past few years, Sr2IrO4, a single-layer member of the Ruddlesden–Popper series iridates, has received much attention as a close analog of cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Although there is not yet firm evidence for superconductivity, a remarkable range of cuprate phenomenology has been reproduced in electron- and hole-doped iridates including pseudogaps, Fermi arcs, and d-wave gaps. Furthermore, many symmetry-breaking orders reminiscent of those decorating the cuprate phase diagram have been reported using various experimental probes. We discuss how the electronic structures of Sr2IrO4 through strong spin-orbit coupling leads to the low-energy physics that had long been unique to cuprates, what the similarities and differences between cuprates and iridates are, and how these advance the field of high-temperature superconductivity by isolating essential ingredients of superconductivity from a rich array of phenomena that surround it. Finally, we comment on the prospect of finding a new high-temperature superconductor based on the iridate series.

The fire resistance of concrete filled steel tubular column is usually obtained by the numerical analysis method, which is difficult to operate and not convenient in the actual civil engineering. So it is necessary to study the simplified calculation method. A large number of numerical simulation results of the temperature distribution of the section and the bearing capacity at high temperature of the concrete filled steel tubular columns are analyzed. The influences of secondary parameters are simplified. The simplified calculation method at 150 min and 180 min for the bearing capacity at high temperature of concrete filled steel tubular columns subjected to axial compression and fire is presented on the basis of comprehensive analysis of the numerical calculation results. The calculation results can be used as the basis to judge the fire resistance. It is shown by the comparison with the experimental results that the precision of the simplified calculation method can meet the requirements of engineering application.
