A galvalume corrugated sheet was utilized as formwork for a reinforced concrete beam in flexure. A numerical model was validated to the experimentally obtained data, and further adopted to simulate the behavior of this composite structure under elevated temperatures. The properties and constitutive stress-strain data of the basic materials were obtained from experiments, and superimposed into the finite element model. The study concluded that the load carrying capacity of the member decreased as a direct function on temperature increase, and the cracking moment was very sensitive to the temperature fluctuation. The elevated temperatures also altered the failure mode.

This paper aims at detailed investigation on the relationship between half-cell potentials and load carrying capacity of corroded RC beam-column joints. There are four specimens in the test with the corrosion rate to 0%, 3%, 9% and 15%. Results show that the potentials of normal joint are larger than that of corroded damaged joints. As the corrosion rate of joints increases, load carrying capacity and half-cell potentials decrease. Analytical method based on the values of half-cell potentials to evaluate the load carrying capacity of corroded joint is presented. Comparing the analytical and experimental results, the proposed method can predict the load carrying capacity of corroded reinforced concrete beam-column joints.

In this article, the object of study is a three–layer honeycomb panel with fixing elements (FE), which are used for transporting the panel, and fixing it to the spacecraft. The goal of the work is to determine experimentally the load carrying capacity of the fixing elements under various types of loading, to determine the load carrying capacity of the honeycomb panel of the spacecraft at fixing points and further comparison of the experimental results with the finite element method results calculated by MSC.Patran / Nastran. A method for conducting static tests of fixing elements of a spacecraft honeycomb panel under an external load is described, a description of computer technology of a finite–element solution to the problem of static strength of a honeycomb panel structure in the MSC.Patran environment is presented, and a finite–element model of a honeycomb panel is designed. An assessment of the strength of a three–layer structure at fixing points was carried out, followed by validation of the finite–element model of a honeycomb panel. On the basis of the validated model, the evaluation of the strength of the honeycomb structure was carried out; based on results obtained, the conclusion has been made about the convergence of the results by the finite element method with the results obtained during the experiment.

Hydrodynamic oil bearings applied at elevated temperatures and extreme operating conditions are subjected to the problem of oil degradation. In order to overcome such conditions, dry powder lubricants are used as lubricants in the hydrodynamic journal bearings. Thus the problem of thermal degradation of oil at high temperatures can be eliminated. In this work, the static and dynamic characteristics of a symmetric three-lobed bearing lubricated with powdered particles have been predicted. Influence of the ellipticity ratio on the performance of the three-lobed bearing has also been investigated. It is observed that an increase in the ellipticity ratio increases the coefficient of friction and stability, but decreases the side leakage and the load carrying capacity of the three-lobed bearing. Also, it was observed that the large-sized powdered particles induce better load carrying capacity and better stability than the small-sized particles.

Nonlinear finite element model analysis of the casing plug joints of steel tubular has been realized by ANSYS software. The law of load-carrying capability and stiffness of joint are separately gained by changing the ratio of length and diameter (R/L) and the ratio of the casing length and the main tube length (l/L). The influence of the casing thickness on the load-carrying capability and stiffness are also discussed. The results indicated that the load-carrying capability and stiffness of the joints both increase with the ratio(R/L) increment and the ratio of the casing length and main tube length (l/L). When the main tube thickness is equal to casing thickness, the load-carrying capacity of joints achieves the most.

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) have wide applications in the field of concrete construction due to their superior performance over conventional materials. This research focuses on the structural behavior of steel tube FRP jacket–confined concrete (STFC) columns under axial concentric loading and proposes a new empirical equation for predicting the axial load-carrying capacity of STFC columns having thickness of FRP-fabric ranging from 0.09 mm to 5.9 mm. A large database of 700 FRP-confined concrete specimens is developed with the detailed information of critical parameters, i.e. elastic modulus of FRPs (Ef), compressive strength of unconfined concrete (fc’o), diameter of specimen (D), height of specimen (H), total thickness of FRPs (N.tf), and the ultimate strength of confined concrete (fc’c). After the preliminary evaluation of constructed database, a new empirical model is proposed for the prediction of axial compressive strength of FRP-confined specimens using general regression analysis by minimizing the error functions such as root mean squared error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). The proposed FRP-confinement strength model presented higher accuracy as compared with previously proposed models. Finally, an equation is proposed for the predictions of axial load carrying capacity of STFC columns. For the validation of proposed equation, an extensive parametric study is performed using the proposed nonlinear finite element model (FEM). The FEM is calibrated using the load-deflection results of STFC columns from literature. A close agreement was observed between the predictions of proposed finite element model and proposed capacity equation.

Abstract The flexural properties of reinforced concrete beams containing expanded glass as a partial fine aggregate (sand) replacement are investigated. Four concrete mixes were employed to conduct this study. The fine aggregate was replaced with 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% (by volume) expanded glass. The results suggest that the incorporation of 50% expanded glass increased the workability of the concrete. The compressive strength was decreasing linearly with the increasing amount of expanded glass. The ductility of the concrete beam significantly improved with the incorporation of the expanded glass. However, the load-carrying capacity of the beam and load at which the first crack occurs was reduced. It was concluded that the inclusion of expanded glass in structural concrete applications is feasible.

The assessment method of load carrying capacity for concrete rectangle section simple beam subjected to fire was presented. Comprehensively considering influencing parameters, load carrying capacity for reinforced concrete rectangle section simple beam was analyzed in a fire hazard by using numerical simulation program. A series of safety assessment regularities for the reinforcement pieces was put forward subjected to fire. The studied results indicate that: the ultimate moment for reinforcement concrete beam bridge tends to decrease linearly after 40 minute, the fire resistance of the reinforcement concrete rectangle section simple beam increase linearly with the increment of the concrete cover thickness; Therefore, the increment of concrete protective thickness is effective to fire resistance and safety grade for the reinforcement concrete beam.
