Composite Slab

Precast composite slabs are an essential component in concrete-prefabricated buildings. At present, there are problems such as overweightedness and imperfect test for quality and structural performance of the precast floors, leading to restriction in the development of prefabricated buildings. In this study, by using industrial solid-waste high-titanium heavy slag as coarse and fine aggregates, with fly ash and silica fume for the partial substitution of the cement, we developed a green lightweight precast composite slab of high-titanium heavy-slag concrete (LPCSHTHSC) after adding shale ceramite as the light aggregate. By selecting the weight and the strength of LPCSHTHSC as the technical control indexes, we performed an orthogonal test of lightweight proportions. Through a comprehensive analysis of the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, density, and an economic consideration, the optimal proportion was determined as follows: water-to-binder ratio of 0.43, mixing amount of the fly ash of 4%, mixing amount of the silica fume of 8%, mixing amount of the water-reducing agent of 0.5%, sand ratio of 35%, and cement at the strength grade of 42.5. Next, the bending performance test was conducted on LPCSHTHSC. According to the results, the LPCSHTHSC exhibited excellent mechanical performance, and its ultimate bearing capacity far exceeded the designed value. The ultimate bearing capacity calculated using the plastic hinge wire method differed slightly from the test value, suggesting the applicability of the proposed method to the calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, the finite element analysis results of LPCSHTHSC were consistent with the actual bending mechanical performance test results, which proved both the accuracy and the reliability of the present finite element analysis based on the plastic damage constitutive model. The present study can provide an insightful theoretical and test foundation for the lightweight application of high-titanium heavy-slag concrete in other prefabricated components.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the ultimate bearing capacity of the rectangular footing resting over layered sand using finite element method. Design/methodology/approach: Finite element analysis was used to investigate the dimensionless ultimate bearing capacity of the rectangular footing resting on a limited thickness of upper dense sand layer overlying limitless thickness of lower loose sand layer. The friction angle of the upper dense sand layer was varied from 41° to 46° whereas for the lower loose sand layer it was varied from 31° to 36°. Findings: The results reveal that the dimensionless ultimate bearing capacity was found to increase up to an H/W ratio of about 1.75 beyond which the increase was marginal. The results further reveal that the dimensionless ultimate bearing capacity was the maximum for the upper dense and lower loose sand friction angles of 46° and 36°, while it was the lowest for the upper dense and lower loose sands corresponding to the friction angle of 41° and 31°. For H/W = 0.5 and 2, the dimensionless bearing capacity decreases with the increase in the L/W ratio from 0.5 to 6 beyond which the dimensionless ultimate bearing capacity remains constant for all combinations of parameters. The results were presented in nondimensional manner and compared with the previous studies available in literature. Research limitations/implications: The analysis is performed using a ABAQUS 2017 software. The limitation of this study is that only finite element analysis is performed without conducting any experiments in the laboratory. Further the study is conducted only for the vertical loading. Practical implications: This proposed numerical study can be used to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of the rectangular footing resting on layered sand. Originality/value: The present study gives idea about the ultimate bearing capacity of rectangular footing when placed on layered sand (dense sand over loose sand) as well as the effect of thickness of top dense sand layer on the ultimate bearing capacity. The findings could be used to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of the rectangular footing on layered sand.

Torsional Instability

With the rapid development of the construction industry, the country has a higher demand for scaffolding engineering, so it is very necessary to develop and promote the application of wheel buckle scaffolding. Steel tube scaffold with wheel buckle has the characteristics of clear transmission and good mechanical performance. In order to study the structural performance of steel tubular scaffolding with wheel buckle, the single span three-step element frame was tested. The failure mode and ultimate bearing capacity of the frame are obtained. The finite element software Sap2000 was used to conduct 3d modeling and linear buckling analysis of scaffolds in the test. The results of experiments and finite element analysis show that the failure type of steel tubular scaffolding is the overall torsional instability failure. The connection stiffness at the joint of the diagonal brace fastener has a great influence on the wheel-buckle scaffold. The diagonal brace has obvious influence on the bearing capacity of steel tubular scaffolding body with buckles.

Overall Stability

With the rapid development of the Chinese railway in recent years, the construction of so many large railway stations are needed. Because the roof and the canopy should be convenient for the passengers and goods to get through, the column spacing and span is large. In order to achieve the functional and aesthetic requirements of the railway stations, the dendritic column is developed. Dendritic structure is the building structure which is designed by the principle of zoology and undertaking force of tree among nature. It has particular appreciation and practicability. In order to determine the critical load and buckling behavior of the dendritic column from stable balance to unstable balance condition, the finite element model is established by the finite element analysis program ANSYS. And the linear overall stability, geometrical nonlinear overall stability, geometrical and material nonlinear overall stability were studied. Through changing such factors as the stiffness ratio and the height ratio between the trunk and the branch, span to height ratio of branch, etc., the authors further studied the nonlinear stability behavior of this new type structure. It is showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the Y-shape column is high. And we got the conclusion that how these three parameters influence the ultimate bearing capacity of the dendritic column. And the results can offer reference for the design of the dendritic column. Your manuscript will be reduced by approximately 20% by the publisher. Please keep this in mind when designing your figures and tables etc.

This paper presents the experimental and numerical results of the ultimate bearing capacity of partially overlapped tubular N-joints, which have circular hollow section (CHS) brace members welded to a square hollow section (SHS) chord member. Two partially overlapped N-joints were tested to failure under overlapping brace axial loading and chord axial loading. The failure mode of specimen N1 was the overlapping brace local bucking, and the failure mode of specimen N2 was the chord face plastification with chord side wall buckling. Meanwhile, weld fracture occurred on both specimens. Then, making use of finite element package program ANSYS, in which twenty nodes solid element was employed and the weld was simulated, elastic-plastic large deflection finite element analysis of the experimental joints was conducted. The experimental data were compared with the results acquired by finite element analysis and it was proved that ANSYS is feasible to simulate the connecting weld and analyze the static behavior of partially overlapped CHS-to-SHS welded N-joints.
