The existed research shows that when SRC component is under stress, there is bond-slip happened between shape steel and concrete. And the bond-slip have a certain influence on the bearing capacity of SRC component, when component is loaded to ultimate load, the bearing capacity descends quickly because of the effect of bond-slip between shape steel and concrete. Finite method of fiber finite element is a useful way to simulate this kind of composite components, but it ignores the behavior of bond-slip between shape steel and concrete. So building a bond-slip formula for fiber element to simulate SRC component has a practical significance. It’s not only gets more precisely calculated results, but also make the simulation of failure model close to the practical situation. In this paper, in order to add bond-slip effect into fiber element theory, a formula was set up to adjust stress of steel material, which was based on constitutive equations of our bond-slip tests. The method was programmed in OpenSees and used to simulate tests of SRC frame under cycling load, the simulate results shows that the method suggested in this paper is an effective way to express behavior of bond-slip in SRC component.

A ribbed slab structure has the advantage in the reduction of concrete volume in between the ribs resulting in a lower structural self-weight. In order to overcome the drawbacks in the construction process, the application of steel fibre self-compacting concrete (SCFRC) is seen as an alternative material to be used in the slab. This preliminary investigation was carried out to investigate the flexural behaviour of steel fibre self-compacting concrete (SCFRC) as the main material in ribbed slab omitting the conventional reinforcements. Two samples of ribbed slab were prepared for this preliminary study; 2-ribbed and 3-ribbed in 1 m width to identify the effect of the geometry to the slab’s flexural behaviour. The dimension of both samples is 2.5 m x 1 m with 150 mm thickness. The compressive strength of the mix is 48.6 MPa based on the cubes tested at 28 days. Load was applied to failure by using the four point bending test set-up with simple support condition. The result of the experiment recorded ultimate load carrying capacity at 30.68 kN for the 2-ribbed slab and 25.52 kN for 3-ribbed slab. From the results, the ultimate load of the 2-ribbed sample exceeds 3-ribbed by approximately 20%. This proved that even with lower concrete volume, the sample can still withstand an almost similar ultimate load. Cracks was also observed and recorded with the maximum crack width of 2 mm. It can be concluded that the steel fibres do have the potential to withstand flexural loadings. Steel fibre reduces macro-crack forming into micro-cracks and improves concrete ductility, as well as improvement in deflection. This shows that steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete is practical as it offers good concrete properties as well as it can be mixed, placed easier without compaction.

Abstract This article proposed an innovative composite sandwich structure reinforced with trapezoidal latticed webs with angles of 45°, 60° and 75°. Four specimens were conducted according to quasi-static compression methods to investigate the compressive behavior of the novel composite structures. The experimental results indicated that the specimen with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs showed the most excellent energy absorption ability, which was about 2.5 times of the structures with vertical latticed webs. Compared to the traditional composite sandwich structure, the elastic displacement and ultimate load-bearing capacity of the specimen with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs were increased by 624.1 and 439.8%, respectively. Numerical analysis of the composite sandwich structures was carried out by using a nonlinear explicit finite element (FE) software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The influence of the thickness of face sheets, lattice webs and foam density on the elastic ultimate load-bearing capacity, the elastic displacement and initial stiffness was analyzed. This innovative composite bumper device for bridge pier protection against ship collision was simulated to verify its performance. The results showed that the peak impact force of the composite anti-collision device with 45° trapezoidal latticed webs would be reduced by 17.3%, and the time duration will be prolonged by about 31.1%.

Four specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement were tested under low cyclic loading. The hysteretic curve, yield load, ultimate load, displacement ductility and rigidity degradation were compared in order to research the effect of axial compression ratio on ductility and bearing capacity of specially shaped column with HRB500 reinforcement. It is shown that the axial compression ratio has greater influence on ductility and bearing capacity. With the increase of axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity of HRB500 reinforcement concrete specially shaped column can be enhanced while the deformation capacity becomes worse. The hysteretic characteristic of specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement is improved and the stiffness degeneration becomes slow with the decrease of axial compression ratio.

The bond–slip degradation relationship between carbon fiber-reinforced polymer and steel in a freeze–thaw environment is crucial to evaluate the long-term service performance of steel structures strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer plates. However, limited studies on the durability and long-term performance of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel-bonded interface are the major obstacle for the application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer plates in strengthening steel structures. This paper reports an experimental study to investigate the effects of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer bond length and the freeze–thaw cycles on the bond behavior of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel-bonded interface. The three-dimensional digital image correlation technique is applied to obtain displacements and strains on the surface of the single-shear specimen. The experimental results present herein include the failure mode, the ultimate load, the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer strain distribution, the displacement distribution, and the bond–slip relationship. The results show that the ultimate load increases with increasing bond length until a certain bond length value is reached, after which the ultimate load remained approximately constant, and the ultimate loads of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel interface decrease gradually under freeze–thaw cycles. The bond–slip parameters degradation models are proposed, and the bond–slip degradation relationship under the freeze–thaw cycles is established. Finally, the bond–slip degradation relationship is confirmed through comparisons with the experimental results.

This paper presents and discusses the experimental study on the mechanical properties of LBL column both under axial and eccentric compression. The results shows that the ultimate load for the eccentric compression specimens with the eccentricity values of 30 mm and 110 mm are 95.2 kN and 31.8 kN respectively. Eccentricity is one of the main influencing factors for the ultimate bearing capacity of the LBL columns. Because of the vulnerability of the mechanical connections or natural nodes to tensile stress and secondly, laminated bamboo is vulnerable to defects that has more detrimental influence on the tensile resistance of the material. The variation in strain for the laminated bamboo lumber column sections is linear throughout the loading process, following standard normal section bending theory which is similar as that for the beam.

This paper aims to put forward a new method of strengthening the existing bridges with narrow decks and low bearing capacity to overcome the high cost and pollution problems in dismantling them. The method, strengthening bridges by built stringers and cross beams, is by widening some parts of a bridge. Based on the basic theory of finite element, we have set up an analysis model of strengthening the bridges by widening, which helps to demonstrate the rationality of this method. Meaningful conclusions have been drawn from the parameter analysis of the rigidity of the new widening stringers, the rigidity of the new cross beams and the relative settlement of the new and the old foundations. This method can be referenced by the reinforcement and maintenance of medium and small bridges.

Immortality Of The Soul

Through an analysis of Gregory of Nyssa's treatise On the Soul and the Resurrection, this article argues for the compatibility of the doctrines of the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body. Nyssa's view is explicitly contrasted to contemporary tendencies to set up a false dichotomy between the two doctrines. After answering the common objection that immortality is an intruder to Christian theology, a typology of four views on the relation between immortality and resurrection is set out. The article concludes with reflections on the theological and practical significance of Gregory's view.

Truss Bridge

The load bearing capacity of an existing corroded pony truss bridge, which is used for 100 years was estimated from FEM results for whole bridge model. The beam element model is to clarify that the influence of the residual out-of-plane deformation in main truss structures on the load bearing capacity from the viewpoint of whole bridge. Also, shell element model is to clarify that the influence of severe corrosion damages occurred in many structural members on the load bearing capacity as whole bridge. On the other hand, the influence of assumed support conditions in analytical models were discussed from the analytical results of both type of models, because it will be thought that the performance of shoes deteriorates gradually by long in-service period. The ultimate load bearing capacity was estimated by the critical live load magnification. From the analytical results, the residual out-of-plane deformation of main truss structures in this bridge had little influence on the ultimate load bearing capacity. Also, the ultimate load bearing capacity may decrease up to 20% due to aging deterioration of shoes including corrosion damages. In bridge maintenance, it should be paid attention on local severe corrosion damages on the structural member, which may occur higher secondary stress.

Bearing Behavior

Curved twin I-girder composite bridge (TGCB) is becoming popular in Chinese highway bridge building. To study its ultimate bearing behavior, in this paper, one 1 : 5 scale intact model of a two-span curved continuous TGCB was tested to failure to evaluate its safety reserve and ductility. Afterwards, based on the experimental result, 3D FE models were developed and validated. At last, using the validated 3D FE models, the effect of construction scheme, radius of curvature, yield strength of steel, concrete compressive strength, crossbeams, and bottom lateral bracings on the ultimate bearing capacity were examined. The experimental results showed that the ultimate load (Pu) is approximate 13.6 times the service equivalent load. The cracking load and yielding load are approximately 0.12 and 0.47 Pu, respectively. The ductility coefficients are 4.06∼4.40. These above may indicate that the TGCB designed according to Chinese codes has good safety reserve and ductility. From parameter analysis results, it was concluded that the TGCB with full-support construction scheme has larger yield load and ultimate load compared with the one with erecting machine construction scheme. On the other hand, the ultimate bearing capacity reduces nonlinearly with the increase of curvature. Besides, the yield strength of steel, crossbeams, and bottom lateral bracings has a significant effect on the ultimate bearing capacity of curved TGCB. And the smaller the radius of curvature, the more obvious the effect of the latter two factors is. Unfortunately, it is unwise to continuous to improve the ultimate load by increasing the grade of steel for the TGCB when steel grade exceeds Q390. Moreover, in consideration of the big difference in bearing capacity between the inner girder and outer girder of the TGCB with small radius of curvature as well as the economy, it is suggested that the inner and outer steel girders of that TGCB should be designed differently.
