Abstract Due to the technological reasons in modern lightweight steel trusses, fabricated from cold-formed sections, positive eccentricities appear in the truss nodes what induce additional forces in the truss chords. To account for the real load-carrying capacity of truss node area the steel structure research in scale 1:1 were conducted. The experiments consisted of two parts: preliminary and proper one, when conclusions from the first part were applied. Carrying out preliminary studies helped to identify of the research station drawbacks and eliminate most of them, what ensure the appropriate research results. The initial numerical analysis were also conducted what was presented in the paper.

The influence of eccentricity at intersections of truss members on the load carrying capacity of the truss joint is presented in the paper. The research truss elements were designed as cold-formed open cross section. Analytical calculations, numerical analysis and experimental research were conducted to reveal how the eccentricity affects the effort of material in the joint area. The results of analysis and investigations are compared and discussed. The main achievement of the tests carried out is statement that slender plane members of the compression chords are safe compared with the results of analytical calculations.

The presented paper deals with the stochastic analysis of the ultimate limit states of steel‐concrete building members. The load carrying capacity of steel‐concrete columns, comprising of steel profiles encased in high strength concrete, in compression is analyzed. The first part of the paper lists assumptions for the determination of the theoretical load carrying capacity of the column. Principles of elasticity and plasticity are used to determine stresses in the concrete and steel sections. Statistical characteristics of input material and geometrical imperfections are listed. Results of the theoretical analysis are then compared with results of experimental research. Statistical characteristics of obtained results of the theoretical analysis were verified using statistical characteristics obtained from experimental research. Numerical simulation LHS and Monte Carlo methods, which take into account the influences of variability of input imperfections, were employed. The influence of the utilization of the plastic reserve in the determination of the load carrying capacity of the analysed strut is shown. The influence of the initial geometric imperfections of initial strut curvature on the load carrying capacity is also presented.

Composite slab with steel sheeting deck is considered a continuous slab when it is under a constructional situation. Nevertheless, many recent researches are focused on simply supported slab. In order to determine the load carrying capacity regarding various rebar ratio on negative moment region, a numerical analysis was carried out by using finite element analysis. The result of analysis shows that the reinforced steel rebar increases load carrying capacity. Moreover, it has shown that the reinforced length of steel rebar also affect the load carrying capacity.

Shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed trusses is a new kind of shear wall. In order to further the seismic performance of the new shear wall, experiment was carried on three 1/5 scale models, which included one traditional RC shear wall, one shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns, one shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed trusses. Based on the experimental study, load-carrying capacity and hysteretic property of each model were analyzed. The study show that the seismic performance of shear wall with concrete filled round steel tube columns and concealed steel trusses has high bearing capacity and good hysteretic property. Load carrying capacity calculation of shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns and concealed steel trusses were carried out, the calculate results were in good agreement with the measured results.

Abstract This work deals with the reliability assessment of a tanker ship hull structure subjected to a vertical bending moment and corrosion degradation. The progressive collapse and ultimate load carrying capacity are estimated based on experimentally tested scaled box-shaped-specimens. The translation of the strength estimate of the scaled specimen to the real tanker ship hull structure is performed based on the dimensional theory developing a step-wise linear stress-strain relationship. The load-carrying capacity is considered as a stochastic variable, and the uncertainties resulted from the scaled-specimen to the real-structure strength translation, and the subjected load of the real ship are also accounted for. A sensitivity analysis concerning the stochastic variables, included in the ultimate limit state function is performed. The partial safety factors, in the case of a scaled specimen and real structure, are also identified, and conclusions are derived.

According to the structural design in a project in Dalian, experimental study on seismic behavior of composite core walls with steel tube-reinforced concrete (STRC) columns were carried out. Five 1/6 scale composite core wall specimens with different steel reinforced details in the walls and different openings on the walls were designed and tested under cyclic loading. Based on the experiment, hysteretic property, load-carrying capacity, ductility, energy dissipation capacity and damage characteristics of the five specimens were compared and analyzed. The results show that the core walls with STRC columns have good seismic behavior. And the seismic behavior can be greatly improved by setting concealed steel trusses in the walls.
