Abstract The loading capacity and ability of steel arch supports to accept deformations from the surrounding rock mass is influenced significantly by the function of the connections and in particular, the tightening of the bolts. This contribution deals with computer modelling of the yielding bolt connections for different torques to determine the load-bearing capacity of the connections. Another parameter that affects the loading capacity significantly is the value of the friction coefficient of the contacts between the elements of the joints. The authors investigated both the behaviour and conditions of the individual parts for three values of tightening moment and the relation between the value of screw tightening and load-bearing capacity of the connections for different friction coefficients. ANSYS software and the finite element method were used for the computer modelling. The solution is nonlinear because of the bi-linear material properties of steel and the large deformations. The geometry of the computer model was created from designs of all four parts of the structure. The calculation also defines the weakest part of the joint’s structure based on stress analysis. The load was divided into two loading steps: the pre-tensioning of connecting bolts and the deformation loading corresponding to 50-mm slip of one support. The full Newton-Raphson method was chosen for the solution. The calculations were carried out on a computer at the Supercomputing Centre VSB-Technical University of Ostrava.

AbstractThe actual load-bearing capacity of elements of a building system can be calculated by dynamic parameters, in particular by resonant frequency and compliance. The prerequisites for solving such a problem by the finite element method (FEM) are presented in the article. First, modern vibration tests demonstrate high accuracy in determination of these parameters, which reflects reliability of the diagnosis. Secondly, most modern computational complexes do not include a functional for calculating the load-bearing capacity of an element according to the input values of resonance frequencies. Thirdly, FEM is the basis for development of software tools for automating the computation process. The article presents the method for calculating flexural stiffness and moment of inertia of a beam construction system by its own frequencies. The method includes calculation algorithm realizing the finite element method.

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a new kind of building material with high strength and other good performance. The combination of RPC and steel tube will compensate the brittleness of RPC and enhance the stability of steel tube, and the loading capacity of the RPC filled steel tube will be improved. Five RPC filled steel tube columns are designed and tested to obtain the ultimate load bearing capacity, the deformation and the strain information. During the loading process, the concrete and the steel tube of the RPC filled steel tube columns are loaded simultaneously. The loading results show that the deformation of the RPC filled steel tube columns are mainly in elastic phase before the loading capacity is up to the ultimate value. The test load decreases to be 80%~90% of the ultimate loading value and then it changes to be smooth. The failure mode of the RPC filled steel tube columns is ductile. The test loading capacity is compared with the formula from the reference. The tested ultimate load bearing capacity of the steam cured RPC filled steel tube columns is higher than the calculated value. The calculated value is safe for the engineering application. The study is useful for the research and application of RPC filled steel tube column.

Abstract The total load-bearing capacity of steel arch yielding roadways supports is among their most important characteristics. These values can be obtained in two ways: experimental measurements in a specialized laboratory or computer modelling by FEM. Experimental measurements are significantly more expensive and more time-consuming. However, for proper tuning, a computer model is very valuable and can provide the necessary verification by experiment. In the cooperating workplaces of GIG Katowice, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava and the Institute of Geonics ASCR this verification was successful. The present article discusses the conditions and results of this verification for static problems. The output is a tuned computer model, which may be used for other calculations to obtain the load-bearing capacity of other types of steel arch supports. Changes in other parameters such as the material properties of steel, size torques, friction coefficient values etc. can be determined relatively quickly by changing the properties of the investigated steel arch supports.

Abstract The study presents an analysis of steel I-beam warping. The calculations were made for hot-rolled IPE200 hinged beams with different lengths. After determining load-bearing capacity using the GMNIA method, the beams were strengthened with bimoment restraints at each end. The changes in critical moment and load-bearing capacity were then evaluated. The study presents the manner in which the material and geometric imperfections have been determined. The GMNIA calculations were conducted using the Finite Element Method in Abaqus software. The results were then compared to results obtained with traditional methods and acquired from LT Beam software.

Thin-walled cold-rolled sections are used in the construction industry, especially in the roofing of large-span halls. The load-bearing capacity of a thin-walled structure depends to a large extent on the load-bearing capacity of the details at the point of attachment to the structure and the interconnection of the individual thin-walled elements. Therefore, in the case of thin-walled structures, it is necessary to use additional structural elements such as local reinforcement, stabilising elements, supports, and other structural measures such as the doubling of profiles. This paper focused on the behaviour of tall Z300 and Z350 mm thin-walled trusses at the connection to the superstructure regarding upward loading (e.g., wind suction and so on). Two section thicknesses, 1.89 mm and 2.85 mm, were experimentally analysed. Furthermore, two types of connections were prepared, more precisely without and with a reinforced buckle. The experiments aimed to investigate the behaviour and load-carrying capacity of the detail of the roof truss connections to the supporting structure. The resulting load capacity values were compared with normative approaches. Analyses of the details of the bolt in the connection are also presented. The paper presents a practical evaluation of the physical test on real structural members.

The load-bearing capacity and fracture pattern of direct inlay-retained FRC FDPs with two different cross-sectional designs of the ponticwere tested. The aim of the study was to evaluate a new fibre disposition. Two types of composites, Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative and Filtek Z250 (3M/ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), and one braided polyethylene fibre, Construct (Kerr, USA) were used. The results of the study suggested that the new tested disposition of the fibres prevented in some extend the delamination of the composite on buccal and facial sides of the pontic and increased the load-bearing capacity of the bridges.
