The article considers the methodology for structural analysis of reinforced under load open-section steel structure elements for strength with multi-parameter loading. In order to reduce the volume of calculations, the reverse course of solving the strength problem is proposed using the «Section» algorithm in dimensionless parameters. According to the limit state of the rod in the most loaded main section and given relative eccentricities, real acting forces are determined taking into account the elastic-plastic performance of the section.

The objective of this thesis is to develop a precast and prestressed concrete design for a factory hall, which was initially planned as a steel structure. Furthermore, a structural analysis is conducted on several chosen structural elements according to the European Standards and the German Annexes respectively. The analysis is done both by manual calculation and software calculation for comparison and includes the ultimate limit state design, the serviceability limit state design and the design for the state of transportation and assembly of the precast members. Lastly, to illustrate the results of the analysis, an overview drawing with the new concrete design as well as formwork and reinforcement drawings for each of the analyzed structural members are developed.

This paper considers the application of the limit state philosophy of structural analysis to pipeline design. General aspects of the philosophy are discussed and the approach to the evaluation of safety factors is reviewed. The paper further considers the various limit and serviceability states which would be relevant to a pipeline and reviews the various factors which may require consideration, before a code embodying the limit state philosophy could be formulated. A review of the state of current knowledge on various aspects of geometry and material characteristics, loading and structural behavior is presented. It is intended that such a review can be used as the basis for a larger study to provide guidance and data for the evaluation of rational levels of safety factor. The major conclusion reached by the authors is that a limit state philosophy would be valuable in providing a suitable framework, which may highlight the significant aspects of pipeline design and which can most easily accommodate new requirements and results obtained from research.

Рассмотрена задача упругопластического деформирования тонкостенной трубы при комбинированном нагружении изгибающим моментом, осевой силой и внутренним давлением. Решение задачи осуществлено по разработанной методике с помощью математического пакета Matcad численным методом, основанным на деформационной теории пластичности и безмоментной теории оболочек. Для упрощения решения предложено сведение двумерной задачи к одномерной задаче о деформировании балки, материал которой имеет различные диаграммы деформирования при сжатии и растяжении в осевом направлении. Проведено сравнение с результатами численного решения двумерной задачи методом конечных элементов в упругопластической постановке. Результаты расчета по инженерной методике совпадают с точным решением с точностью, необходимой для практического применения. Полученные результаты упругопластического решения для изгибающего момента в сечении трубопровода при комбинированном нагружении позволяют уточнить известное критериальное соотношение прочности сечения трубопровода с кольцевым дефектом в сторону снижения перебраковки. Применение разработанной методики позволяет ранжировать участки трубопровода с непроектным изгибом по степени близости к предельному состоянию при комбинированном нагружении изгибающим моментом, продольным усилием и внутренним давлением. The problem of elastic plastic deformation of a thin-walled pipe under co-binned loading by bending moment, axial force and internal pressure is considered. The problem is solved by the developed method using the Matcad mathematical package by a numerical method based on the deformation theory of plasticity and the momentless theory of shells. To simplify the solution of the problem, it is proposed to reduce a twodimensional problem to a one-dimensional problem about beam deformation, the material of which has different deformation diagrams under compression and tension in the axial direction. Comparison with the results of numerical solution of the two-dimensional problem with the finite element method in the elastic plastic formulation is carried out. The obtained results of the elastic-plastic solution for the bending moment in the pipeline section under combined loading make it possible to clarify criterion ratio of the strength of the pipeline section with an annular defect in the direction of reducing the rejection. Application of the developed approach allows to rank pipeline sections with non-design bending in the steppe close to the limit state under combined loading of the pipeline with bending moment, longitudinal force and internal pressure.

This paper focuses on the structural analysis of a steel structure under fire loading. In this framework, the objective is to highlight the importance of the right choice of analyses to develop, and of the finite element codes able to model the resistance and stiffness reduction due to the temperature increase. In addition, the evaluation of the structural collapse under fire load of a real building is considered, paying attention to the global behavior of the structure itself.

The cyclic strain approach is useful for determining the fatigue life of notches strained in the elastic-plastic region. Examples are the flame-cut edges of cutouts in the ship steel structure. After the description of the cyclic stress-strain behavior of the usual mild steel, the individual elements of the approach are described: the probability distribution of load amplitudes, the relationship between load and local elastic-plastic strain, the relationship between the damage parameter and fatigue life, and finally the damage accumulation law. The approach is illustrated by two examples of longitudinal/transverse web intersections. In the first, the predicted life is confirmed by experimental results. The second example shows the approach for complicated load combinations. It is hoped that this paper will contribute to sound and crack-free ship structural details, particularly if unusual loads are applied to well-tried details or if simplified designs are introduced.

An approach is presented to structural optimization for performance-based design in earthquake engineering. The objective is the minimization of the total cost, including repairing damage produced by future earthquakes, and satisfying minimum target reliabilities in three performance levels (operational, life safety, and collapse). The different aspects of the method are considered: a nonlinear dynamic structural analysis to obtain responses for a set of earthquake records, representing these responses with neural networks, formulating limit-state functions in terms of deformations and damage, calculating achieved reliabilities to verify constraint violations, and the development of a gradient-free optimization algorithm. Two examples illustrate the methodology: 1) a reinforced concrete portal for which the design parameters are member dimensions and steel reinforcement ratios, and 2) optimization of the mass at the cap of a pile, to meet target reliabilities for two levels of cap displacement. The objective of this latter example is to illustrate model effects on optimization, using two different hysteresis approaches.

A well-founded determination of steel structure scantlings is essential during the early design process of a ship or an ocean structure. In the first 4 up to 6 weeks of a new building project, the major part of the final building costs has to be fixed. Amongst others a proper steel weight estimation is crucial. The weight depends on the structural dimensions which are determined mostly by experience and rarely by direct calculations. Therefore, a simple direct strength calculation tool has been integrated in a ship design software. The tool uses structural and general ship design information. Besides the structural constraints, posed by the project design, the steel designer has to fulfill also the structural constraints posed by the classification societies. Normally they are checked with software solutions provided by the societies. However these software tools are not well adapted to the early design process as various design parameters change frequently. For this purpose a link has been created between a rule scantling tool on one side and a design software on the other. The link allows an automated exchange of steel scantlings and project information. By this the modeling and design work as well as the structure scantling and steel weight determination is performed in the design software tool, while the rule scantling tool is only used for a quick assessment of class conformity. With the help of the mentioned methods, the structure can be pre-dimensioned directly based on the early design model in accordance with the classification rules. Furthermore the steel dimensions can not only be optimized with regard to local and global loads, but also with regard to design boundary conditions. In consequence the early steel design process is improved by a more accurate steel scantlings determination and results in a better optimized steel structure as well as severely reduced time spent on the steel iterations.

The paper compares the numerical models of and experiments with a beam. The purpose is to evaluate the nonlinear material model of a steel structure. The steel is modelled as an ideal elastic-plastic material. The FEM and eight-node isoparametric finite elements are considered in the analysis. The 3D calculations use different material constants and several approaches are being tested in order to create the computational models. The calculations are performed in the software application developed by our university.
