Based on the theoretical results obtained in the article [17], here the analysis of the influence of various design parameters on the own weight and cost of metal of truss beams with two posts is carried out. An optimal parameter has been obtained that makes it possible to reduce the calculated bending moment in the cross section of a truss beam with two struts.Method. By equalizing the bending moments in various design sections of the truss beam, the internal force factors are reduced. The corresponding equation for optimizing the parameters of the beam has been drawn up and a formula has been obtained to determine the optimal parameter of the structure as a whole.Result. Using the example of numerical calculations, a decrease in the calculated bending moment by 14% compared to truss beams without optimization is shown.Conclusion. The proposed method and algorithm testify to the efficiency and rationality of the obtained optimal parameter of the structure as a whole.

In SP 63.13330 the general calculation case for the diagram method is oblique off-center compression, which takes into account only three components of internal force factors in the cross section: the longitudinal force-Nz – and two bending moments relative to the corresponding axes – Mx and My. The other three components-the QX and Qy transfer forces and the MZ torque – are left out of consideration. In addition, for this case, the search in the available literature, including the founders of the diagram method, for the output of calculation formulas was not successful – in all sources they are given in ready-made form without evidence. This article is intended to try to fill in these gaps. For this purpose, based on the expressions for rod displacements that are generally accepted in mechanics, in particular on the Mora integral of displacements, the resolving expressions of the diagram method are obtained in the most general form.

Load-lateral deflection curves are developed for a pressurized tube of circular cross section under combined bending and compression. The tube walls are assumed to have negligible compressive strength so that wrinkling develops if the stress tends to become negative. It is found that for a given bending moment, the load increases monotonically with deflection until a maximum is reached beyond which the load decreases with increasing deflection. An interaction curve of the maximum load versus bending moment shows that the presence of only a small amount of bending significantly decreases the maximum compressive load below the classical Euler load. Conversely, for bending moments which produce almost complete wrinkling of the cross section, only very small amounts of compressive load can be supported.

This paper takes a sluice reconstruction project as an example. The constraint internal force, the related axis force, bending moment, and shearing force at the corresponding section are solved according to the unit stress and internal force balance. Furthermore, technology of mesh auto-generation in cross-section is utilized to plot the internal force graph of the structure directly, which will provide reference for reinforcement design and make it more convenient.

Pipe elbows are frequently used in a pipeline system to change the directions. Thermal expansion and internal pressure results in bending moments on the bends causing ovalization of the initial circular cross-section. The ability of the bend to ovalize will result in an increase in the bend flexibility when compared to straight pipes [1]. In case of bends subjected to internal pressure, the pipe will start to straighten out due to the difference between the intrados and extrados surface areas. The internal pressure causes unbalanced thrust forces tending to open up the elbow depending on its stiffness and surrounding constraints. These forces tending to cause ovalization of the cross section and causing the tendency of pipe bends to open up are termed the “Bourdon effect”. If these unbalanced thrust forces are not taken into consideration, unanticipated deformations and high stress levels could occur at the elbow location that may not be accounted for in traditional stress analysis [2]. A better understanding of the influence of the Bourdon effect on the elbow design parameters is required. Past studies have investigated the behaviour of pipe elbows under closing bending moment and proposed factors that account for the increased flexibility and high stress levels resulted from ovalization. These factors are used in the current design codes [3],[4] &[5] and known as the flexibility factor and stress intensification factor. In this investigation, pipe elbows with different nominal pipe size and various bend radiuses to internal pipe radius ratios (R/r) are studied to get a better understanding of the Bourdon effect and its influence on the pipe stresses and deformations. Differential equilibrium equations are solved to derive a mathematical model to evaluate the unbalanced thrust forces resulted from the Bourdon effect on a pipe elbow. The forces evaluated from the derived model are compared to finite element model results and showed excellent agreement. A comparison between the CSA-Z662 code and the FEA results is conducted to investigate the applicability of the stress intensification factors used in the current design code for different loading cases. The study showed that the external bending moment direction acting on the pipe has a significant effect on the distribution of stresses on the pipe elbow and significantly depending on the level of applied internal pressure.

CONCLUSIONS1. It may be taken as conclusive that the final distribution of stress at rupture point in a member subjected to an external bending moment is a rectangular one, unless where the cohesion of adjacent layers is not sufficient to withstand the shear induced by the resisting moment of the section.2. That, provided shear does not take place, the neutral axis moves always to the position which reduces the summation of the tensile and compressive stress areas, across a section, to the equilibrant of the external forces. (In the case of a beam this reduces to zero; in that of a hook, at the principal section to the suspended weight.)3. That the total resisting moment of these stresses must be equal to the external bending moment as measured to the neutral axis at rupture point, but that these balancing moments do not differ materially from those measured to an axis obtained by dividing the sectional area into tensile and compressive stress areas which are in inverse proportion to the magnitude of their respective ultimate direct stresses.The advantage of these formulæ are important. It is possible to indicate with certainty the magnitude of the load which will cause rupture in a beam or a hook provided there is known the point of application or the effective arm of the load, the cross-section of the beam or hook, and the breaking strengths of the material when subjected to the different forms of direct loading.

The paper presents section models for analysis of the resistance of RC members subjected to bending moment with or without axial force. To determine the section resistance the nonlinear stress-strain relationship for concrete in compression is assumed, taking into account the concrete softening. It adequately describes the behavior of RC members up to failure. For the reinforcing steel linear elastic-ideal plastic model is applied. For the ring cross-section subjected to bending with axial force the normalized resistances are derived in the analytical form by integrating the cross-sectional equilibrium equations. They are presented in the form of interaction diagrams and compared with the results obtained by testing conducted on RC columns under eccentric compression. Furthermore, the ultimate normalized bending moment has been derived for the rectangular cross-section subjected to bending without axial force. It was applied in the cross-sectional analysis of steel and concrete composite beams, named BH beams, consisting of the RC rectangular core placed inside a reversed TT welded profile. The comparisons made indicated good agreements between the proposed section models and experimental results.

The study involved the development of the basics of production technology and the testing of the mechanical properties of a new grade of steel for forgings with increased strength and impact strength, intended for special products. The scope of the tests includ-ed a proposal for a new steel composition along with the production of ingots and its further processing into forgings in industrial con-ditions, using an input with various dimensions of the cross-section, proposed as a result of numerical calculations, including the performance of heat treatment in two variants. As a result of tests and analyses, it was found that the proposed technology enables the production of semi-finished products with the assumed level of strength and impact strength.

This paper investigates the ovalisation behavior of the Steel Circular Hollow Sections (CHSs) when subjected to bending moment. The experimental program included testing of ten specimens in four groups in order to examine the influence of changing the diameter, thickness, length and the presence of openings on the ovalisation phenomenon of these specimens.The experimental results showed that the ovalisation of the specimen cross-section appears clearly when the diameter to thickness ratio (D/t) is ranging from 17 to 50, while the ovalisation of the specimens that have D/t ratio greater than 50 is very little or unclear because the instability of these specimens are controlled by the local buckling. In addition, the change of the specimen length and the presence of openings didn’t cause the cross-section ovalisation
