Abstract In this study, a column with section IPE and different lengths, completely embedded in concrete, is modelled by finite element software ABAQUS. Columns under different bi-axial loading were used and graphs of axial force-axial deformation, interaction axial force, and bending moment and column curve were mapped. The results show that the load capacity of the column, with increasing length and also increasing eccentricity of the axial load, will be reduced. With increasing length, the effect of an increased eccentricity of the reduced load capacity was increased. Equations for the design of the column are also presented. The results of the presented equations were compared with the values obtained from finite element and building national institute 10th topic.

Taking a 62 m CFST bridge with a curved-string truss as the research object, according to its reinforcement scheme, the spatial finite element models of the bridge before and after reinforcement were established by using the general finite element software ANSYS. The natural frequencies of the bridge before and after reinforcement were calculated, and the seismic performance of the bridge was analyzed by using the response spectrum method. The results show that the frequencies of the reinforced bridges increase in varying degrees, especially the vertical and torsional frequencies. Before and after reinforcement, the maximum axial force in the upper chord of the bridge is the largest, and the shear force and bending moment are small. The maximum internal force appears at the two ends of the upper chord. This position should be regarded as the weak link of the bridge seismic resistance. Under the same conditions, the axial force of the bridge after reinforcement is reduced by about 30% compared with that before reinforcement, and the displacement of the bridge after reinforcement is reduced in varying degrees. The reinforcement measures can improve the lateral and vertical stiffness of the bridge, especially the stiffness of the deck system.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.

A marginal field defines as an oil and/or gas field that has a short production period, low proven reservoir, and could not be exploited using existing technology. As the demand for oil and gas keeps increasing, one of the solutions to tackle the issues is to build the modified platform which came to be more minimalist to conduct the oil and gas production in the marginal field. Naturally, the minimum offshore structures are cost less but low in redundancy, therefore, pose more risks. Although the study on the minimum structures is still uncommon, there are opportunities to find innovative systems that need to have a further analysis toward such invention. Therefore, this study took the modified jacket platform as a minimum structure, and local stresses analysis by using finite element method is applied for the most critical tubular joint with multiplanarity of the joint is taking into account. The analysis was carried out using the finite element program of Salome Meca with three-dimensional solid elements are used to model the multiplanar joint. Various loading types of axial force, in-plane bending moment, and out-of-plane bending moment are applied respectively to investigate the stress distribution along the brace-chord intersection line of the tubular joint. The results show that the hotspot stress occurred at a different point along each brace-chord intersection line for each loading type. Finally, as compared to the in-plane bending moment or out-of-plane bending moment loading types, the axial force loading state is thought to generate greater hotspot stress.

For steel box girder of cable-stayed bridge, which using incremental launching method, during the launching process, structural system and boundary conditions were changing, structure mechanical behaviors were complex. It was necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis on internal force and deformation of the whole structure during the launching process. Took a cable-stayed bridge with single tower, double cable planes and steel box girder in China as an example; finite element software MIDAS Civil 2010 was used to establish a model for steel box girder, simulation analysis of the entire incremental launching process was carried out. Variation rules and envelopes of the internal force, stress, deformation and support reaction were obtained. The result showed that: the maximum value of positive bending moment after launching complete was 60% of the maximum value of positive bending moment during the launching process. The maximum value of negative bending moment after launching complete was 78% of the maximum value of negative bending moment during the launching process.

In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of pipe roof and bolt of shallow and unsymmetrical tunnel in soft rock are analyzed. Through the finite element software Phase2.0, combined with the geological conditions that construction site often appear, the mechanical behaviors of pipe roof and bolt and surrounding rock in the process of horseshoe highway tunnel construction in the condition that surface is soft rock and underground for the bedrock are analyzed. Research results show that: after tunnel excavation in soft rock, surrounding rock near the tunnel is easy to suffer soft-rock large deformation even failure, which needs to timely support;Due to the impact of the unsymmetrical tunnel, the mechanical behaviors of surrounding rock are unsymmetrical, such as the maximum displacement of tunnel around 0.4 m distant from apex of arch ring, the stress is asymmetrical on both sides of the tunnel arch ring etc; In addition, pipe roof can effectively prevent from the displacement of soft rock strata, improve tunnel strength factor, reduce the plastic zone of surrounding rock. This paper provides theoretical basis for the design of pipe roof and bolt.

In order to study the supporting of deep surrounding rock with zonal disintegration tendency, the zonal disintegration phenomenon of deep surrounding rock under three supporting forms is analyzed by the ABAQUS finite element software in this paper, and three supporting forms are un-supporting, bolting and grouting, and combined “Bolting and grouting plus Anchor rope” supporting. The results show that the different effects to zonal disintegration under different supporting forms will occur. Supporting can help to restrain the zonal disintegration of the reinforcement part advantageously, and also lower rupture degree of zonal disintegration and reduce the size of rupture zone. Meanwhile, the stability of surrounding rock is improved. But zonal disintegration may occur outside reinforcement part under greater ground stress. The results are great importance to a better understanding of the deep roadway supporting.
