Urgency of the research. Positive experience with the use of CLT panels in distress has been observed for a long time in Eastern Europe and is considered necessary to study the strength and factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of this type of structures made of transverse glued wood (CLT). Target setting. An integral important issue for CLT panels is torsional strength, which has a scheme of destruction by chipping layers of boards and requires the establishment of the main factors of influence to assess the load-bearing capacity of this type of stress. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Shear and torsional strength is one of the main issues in the strength of CLT panels as an orthotropic plate, which has interested many researchers from different countries, including Blaß, Görlacher (2002) [1], Bosl (2002) [4], Jeitler (2004) [11 ], Jöbstl, Bogensperger, Schieckhofer [12], Wallner (2004) [18], Bogensperger, Moosbrugger (2007) [3], Silly (2010) [14, 15], Hirschmann (2011), Blaß, Flaig (2012) [2], Dröscher, Brandner, Kreuzinger, Sieder (2013), Dietsch (2017), Serrano (2018). Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The issue of identifying factors influencing the bearing capacity of PKD panels during shear and torsion has not been resolved.. The purpose of the article. Establishment of the main factors of influence for an estimation of bearing capacity of CLT of panels at shift and torsion.. The presentation of the main material. Cross laminated timber, as a sheet building material based on layers of boards with mutually perpendicular arrangement of boards in adjacent layers, has a number of important factors that affect the strength of CLT panels in shear and torsion. Thirty years of world experience in the use of CLT panels in multi-storey construction proves the importance of considering different models of panels as diaphragms and rigid frame elements from panel-frame buildings. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the destruction of the panel for chipping, both in the plane of the panel and from the plane. The importance of this type of stress state is further enhanced by a group of different shear or group of test schemes according to EN16351, including rolling shear strength tests. The latter value of strength is a new phenomenological feature of CLT panels. Conclusions and suggestion. Based on experimental studies of the strength of the glued rods in the cross section of CLT panel, the change in strength depending on the diameter of the metal rod and its location in the cross section, which is characterized by alternation of mutually transverse layers of boards.

This paper represents the analysis of 1303 specimens of CFST experimental data. Test results are compared with EC4 provided method for determining the load‐bearing capacity of these composite elements. Several types of CFSTs were tested: both circular and rectangular cross‐sections with solid and hollow concrete core with axial load applied without and with moment, with sustained load and preloading. For circular cross‐section columns there is a good agreement between the test failure load and the EC4 calculation for both short and long columns with and without moment. For rectangular cross‐section columns the agreement is good except when the concrete cylinder strength was greater than 75 MPa, when many tests failed below the strength predicted by EC4. Preloading the steel tube before filling with concrete seems to have no effect on the strength. This paper also presents the stress distribution, confinement distribution and complete average longitudinal stress‐strain curves for concrete‐filled steel tubular elements. Based on the definition of the “Unified Theory”, the CFST is looked upon as an entity of a new composite material. In this paper, the research achievement of the strength and stability for centrifugal‐hollow and solid concrete filled steel tube are introduced. These behaviours relate to the hollowness ratio and the confining indexes of corresponding solid CFST. If the hollow ratio equals to 0,4–0,5 and over, the N‐ϵ relationship exists in steady descending stage. The critical stress of CFST elements stability is determined as an eccentric member with the initial eccentricity by use of finite element method.

A promising treatment for damaged cartilage is to replace it with tissue-engineered (TE) cartilage. However, the insufficient load-bearing capacity of today’s TE cartilage is an important limiting factor in its clinical application. In native cartilage, collagen fibers resist tension and proteoglycans (PG’s) attract water through osmotic pressure and resist its flow, which allows cartilage to withstand high compressive forces. One of the main challenges for tissue engineering of mechanically stable cartilage is therefore to find the cues to create an engineered tissue with an ultrastructure similar to that of native tissue. Currently, it is possible to tissue engineer cartilage with almost native PG content but collagen reaches only 1/4 of the native content [1]. Furthermore, the specific depth dependent arcade-like organization of collagen in native cartilage (i.e. vertical fibers in the deep zone and horizontal fibers in the superficial zone), which is optimized for distributing loads, has not been addressed in TE’d cartilage. However, the relative importance of matrix component content and collagen network architecture to the mechanical performance of TE cartilage is poorly understood, perhaps because this would require substantial effort on time consuming and labor-intensive experimental studies. The aim of this study is to explore if it is sufficient to produce a tissue with abundant proteoglycans and/or collagen, or whether reproducing the specific arcade-like collagen network in the implant is essential to develop sufficient load-bearing capacity, using a numerical approach.

The weakening of the material begins reaching a critical level of stress state, is characterized by a decrease in the level of stress during growing deformations and can develop with an equilibrium accumulation of structural damage. The equilibrium accumulation of damage is possible if the given displacements of the boundary points are provided (that is, with “hard” loading) and if the rigidity of the loading system is sufficient. The design becomes unable to withstand the load only when zones with weakened connections are developed enough. Therefore, taking into account the full deformation diagram in the calculations allows to more accurately determine the load bearing capacity of the design. This paper gives an analytical solution for the problem of a homogeneous cylindrical solid torsion with a circular cross section with its hard loading taking into account the material weakening. Piecewise linear approximations of elastic and elastoplastic medium with a linear weakening at the supercritical deformation stage are considered. The diagrams are plotted regarding stress distribution over the cross section are given; the graphs of the maximum torque value and the extreme value of the relative angle of rotation on the parameters of the deformation diagram. The dependences of the torque on the relative angle of rotation of the sections for the stage of initial supercritical deformation, as well as the stage of supercritical deformation and fracture are determined. The graphs of the dependence of torque on the angle of rotation of the section are given. Reserves of the load bearing capacity of the design are identified. It is noted that taking into account the weakening of the material is expedient in strength calculations and in determination of the system’s safety factor.

Abstract The paper presents a procedure for numerical modelling of the rod cross-section bearing capacity. Equilibrium between cross sectional forces and cross-sectional stresses is determined by iterative procedures. According to the described procedure, the load-bearing capacity of the cross-section is determined according to the isotropic linear and nonlinear behavior of the material, for homogeneous and inhomogeneous cross-sections. The nonlinear behavior of the material reduces the stiffness of the cross section of the rod EA and EI, with a significant increase in the deformation values ε and κ. The applicability of the calculation and analysis of obtained results is presented using numerical examples.

Abstract Reinforcement bending reinforced concrete structures by increasing the cross section and assessing the load-bearing capacity of the inclined section such elements is an urgent problem, as not yet accumulated adequate research data on the stress-strain state such structures in the span, which works on shear and shear bending moment and transverse force. Analyzing the development theories calculation reinforced concrete elements inclined to the longitudinal axis, we can identify many areas, the main approach of which was based on the calculation using the bases of material resistance, and the use of empirical dependencies. Theoretical approaches calculation the European construction magazine RILEM TC, SNiP 2.03.01.-84* are considered, DBN B.2.6-98 2009 (Eurocode 2), US ACI 318-19. Experimental studies reinforced concrete elements to determine the load-bearing capacity inclined sections were performed on the basis of 5 samples reinforced concrete beams, 14 reinforced samples of reinforced concrete and shotcrete a total of 19 pieces in four series. Beams were made of concrete in each series fck = 19.08 MPa; fck = 27.74 MPa; fck = 20.48 MPa; fck = 20.48 MPa, respectively, reinforced samples with concrete fck = 17.95 MPa; fck = 19.5 MPa (shotcrete fck = 31.00 MPa); shotcrete fck = 19.9 MPa; fck = 19.9 MPa. Also for the manufacture and reinforcement beams used flat and U-shaped frames with working longitudinal reinforcement Ø22, Ø16, Ø12, Ø10, Ø6 A400C, and transverse reinforcement Ø6 A240C (step 120 mm). Reinforcement inclined sections of the experimental beams was performed on one, two or three sides, depending on the variant of the sample and the type of frame flat or U-shaped. Investigations of beams were performed according to the static scheme - a beam on two supports, span L=2100 mm. Deformations of concrete and reinforcement in the samples when determining the bearing capacity of inclined sections were measured using microindicators of the clock type, strain gauges. According to the results theoretical and experimental studies the bearing capacity inclined sections to the longitudinal axis, we can see a significant reassessment between the theoretical values inclined sections according to the new DBN B.2.6.-98: 2009 (Eurocode 2) over the actual results obtained during testing samples 53-67% for conventional beams, and 27-50% for reinforced beams. The results US regulations ACI 318-19 showed convergence of results in the range of 2-9% for samples without reinforcement and 1-7% for samples with reinforcement, but the values show the excess of experimental data over theoretical, indicating the impossibility of accurately determining the actual final bearing capacity. The results the calculation obtained by the method of SNiP 2.03.01-84*, both unreinforced and reinforced beams has a satisfactory agreement with the experimental values in the range of 6-10%.

The use of high-strength steel (HSS) is a current trend of the construction industry. Tubular profiles are widely used in various structural applications because of their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, exceptional resistance to torsion, and aesthetic appearance. However, the increase of the strength for the same elastic modulus of the material and geometry of tubular profiles is often not proportional to the rise of the load-bearing capacity of the structural element. The obtained experimental results support the above inference. The study was based on the flexural test results of two groups of HSS and normal-strength steel (NSS) tubular specimens with a 100 × 100 × 4 mm (height × width × thickness) cross-section. Numerical (finite element) simulation results demonstrated that the shape of the cross-section influenced the efficiency of utilisation of HSS. The relationship between the relative increase of the load-bearing capacity of the beam specimen and the corresponding change of the steel strength determined the utilisation efficiency.
