To study the seismic performance of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block masonry composite wall with reinforced concrete (RC) columns, a non-linear finite element analysis has been carried out for the walls with openings using the finite element software ABAQUS. First results of finite element analysis were verified with experiment results of full-scale specimen. And then the effect of the opening’s position on seismic performance was studied with finite element analysis. The result indicates that the ultimate load capacity and ultimate displacement are both increased with the upward and outward movement of the openings.

This paper presents a nonlinear finite element analysis of RC beam-column joints. A numerical study carried out through a simulation on beam-column joints failed in flexure presented by experimental study. A verification procedure was performed on two joints by finite element analysis with ANSYS APDL. The verification with the experimental work revealed a good agreement through the load-displacement relationship, ultimate load, and displacement, and crack pattern. Also, the parametric study was implemented which including strengthening the concrete members by a variable ratio of steel fibers with normal ratios (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and ratios of slurry infiltrated fiber concrete SIFCON (steel fibers up to 4%, 6%, and 8%) in addition to using of partial and full strengthening with and without stirrups. The test results revealed that steel fibers enhanced the flexural strength and ductility of the tested joint. Increase the ratio of steel fibers increased the flexural capacity by (101%, 153%, 177%, and 193%) for the four normal ratios of steel fibers respectively. SIFCON concrete ratios (4%, 6%m and 8%) enhanced ultimate strength by (521%, 802%, and 906%) respectively. The use of steel fibers reinforcement instead of steel rebar enhanced the ultimate load capacity by (101%) with large displacement. Full strengthening method by use of SIFCON presented pure flexural failure with cracks spread in the joint region but use the SIFCON concrete as a partial strengthening changed the failure mode to the shear failure.

Based on experimental research, the bearing performance of the new column (steel tube-reinforced concrete composite columns combination strengthened with angle steel and CFRP) has been studied in detail by finite element method. A finite element model is established based on a series of assumption. The load-displacement curves are obtained. The influence of steel ratio and thickness of CFRP layers to the bearing capacity is analyzed too. The result shows that both the steel ratio and the thickness of CFRP layers have great contribution to the axial load capacity. The finite element analysis results and theoretical analysis which are in good agreement show that simulation results are generally right.

The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

Based on the characteristics of the special-shaped concrete-filled steel tubes and consideration of material nonlinearity of constitutive relation, stimulation of 6 T-shaped thin-walled ribbed and un-ribbed concrete-filled steel tube short columns is implemented, as well as comparable analysis of stress, strain, displacement and bearing capacity, through the finite element analysis software ANSYS. The result indicates that the rib can effectively improve the ductility, delaying the buckling occurs, which enhances the core concrete confinement effect, so as the stimulated ultimate bearing capacity which is greater than nominal ultimate bearing capacity.

This paper focuses on the performance of a special kind of tapered composite columns, namely tapered concrete-filled steel composite (TCFSC) slender columns, under axial loading. These efficient TCFSC columns are formed by the increase of the mid-height depth and width of straight concrete-filled steel composite (CFSC) slender columns, that is, by the enhancement of the tapered angle (from 0° to 2.75°) of the tapered composite columns from their top and bottom to their mid-height. To investigate the performance of the columns, finite element software LUSAS is employed to carry out the nonlinear analyses. Comparisons of the nonlinear finite element results with the existing experimental results uncover the reasonable accuracy of the proposed modelling. Nonlinear analyses are extensively performed and developed to study effects of different variables such as various tapered angles, steel wall thicknesses, concrete compressive strengths, and steel yield stresses on the performance of the columns. It is concluded that increasing each of these variables considerably enhances the ultimate axial load capacity. Also, enhancement of the tapered angle and/or steel wall thickness significantly improves the ductility. Moreover, confinement effect of the steel wall on the performance of the columns is evaluated. Failure modes of the columns are also presented.

Bubbled slabs can be exposed to damage or deterioration during its life. Therefore, the solution for strengthening must be provided. For the simulation of this case, the analysis of finite elements was carried out using ABAQUS 2017 software on six simply supported specimens, during which five are voided with 88 bubbles, and the other is solid. The slab specimens with symmetric boundary conditions were of dimensions 3200/570/150 mm. The solid slab and one bubbled slab are deemed references. Each of the other slabs was exposed to; (1) service charge, then unloaded (2) external prestressing and (3) loading to collapse under two line load. The external strengthening was applied using prestressed wire with four approaches, which are L1-E, L2-E, L1-E2, and L2-E2, where the lengths and eccentricities of prestressed wire are (L1=1800, L2=2400, E1=120 and E2=150 mm). The results showed that each reinforcement approach restores the initial capacity of the bubbled slab and improves it in the ultimate load capacity aspect. The minimum and maximum ultimate strength of strengthened cracked bubbled slab increased by (17.3%-64.5%) and (25.7%-76.3%) than solid and bubbled slab, respectively. It is easier to improve behavior with an increased eccentricity of the prestressed wire than to increase its length.
