In this paper, we performed a lot of parametric analysis of cast T-joints. The geometry model was established using Solidworks. Non-linear analysis was carried out using the commercial finite element programme Ansys. Parametric equations of ultimate loading capacity derived from the results of finite element analysis are presented for the usual range of basic shapes of T-joints under axial loading, in-plane and out-of-plane bending. The sensitivity of the ultimate loading capacity in cast tubular joints to variation in the geometric parameters has been assessed. Besides the parameters which governing the stresses in welded joints, an additional parameter ρ that is defined by C. D. Edwards has been introduced to describe the size of fillet. In this paper, the sensitivity of ultimate loading capacity of cast tubular joints to the parameter ρ is presented.

In recent years, load-bearing exterior sandwich wall boards have been adopted in civil engineering. The exterior walls of structures are often exposed to low velocity impacts such as stones, tools, and windborne debris, etc. The ultimate loading capacity, deformation, and ductility of sandwich walls are weakened by impact loads. In this study, the sandwich wall boards consisted of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) face sheets and a web-foam core. The core of wall boards was not the isotropic material. There was no doubt that the mechanical performance was seriously influenced by the impact locations. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an investigation on the impact and post-impact performance of exterior wall boards. A comprehensive testing program was conducted to evaluate the effects of impact locations and impact energies on the maximum contact load, deflection, and contact time. Meanwhile, the compression after impact (CAI) performance of wall boards were also studied. The results indicated that the impact location significantly affects the performance of wall boards. Compared with an un-damaged wall board, the residual ultimate loading capacity of damaged wall boards reduced seriously, which were not larger than 50% of the designed ultimate loading capacity.

Parametric analysis of ultimate loading capacity is performed by the finite element method considering the dual non-linear effects for inner concave cable-arch structure with different arch rise-span ratio. The results show that for the inner concave cable-arch structure with other given conditions, the failure loads of the steel arch and the cable increase with the increase arch rise-span ratio, but the increasing ratios are different. The failure modes of inner concave cable-arch structure may be divided into three types: the steel arch failure, the overall failure and the cable failure. According to the considered parameters range in this paper, the steel arch failure mode may occur when the arch rise-span ratio is less than 0.3; the overall failure mode may occur when the arch rise-span ratio is between 0.3 to 0.35; and the cable failure mode may occur when the arch rise-span ratio is greater than 0.35. This provides some useful references for rational design of such structures.

Abstract This paper deals with the determination of compressive strength of concrete. Cubes, cylinders and re-used test beams were tested. The concrete beams were first subjected to three-point or fourpoint bending tests and then used for determination of the compressive strength of concrete. Some concrete beams were reinforced, while others had no reinforcement. Accuracy of the experiments and calculations was verified in a non-linear analysis.
