Abstract In this study, the flexural bearing capacity and failure mechanism of carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum laminate (CARALL) beams with a double-channel cross-section and a 3/2 laminated configuration were experimentally and numerically studied. Two types of specimens using different carbon fiber layup configurations ([0°/90°/0°]3 and [45°/0°/−45°]3) were fabricated using the pressure molding thermal curing forming process. The double-channel CARALL beams were subjected to static three-point bending tests to determine their failure behaviors in terms of ultimate bearing capacity and failure modes. Owing to the shortcomings of the two-dimensional Hashin failure criterion, the user-defined FORTRAN subroutine VUMAT suitable for the ABAQUS/Explicit solver and an analysis algorithm were established to obtain a progressive damage prediction of the CFRP layer using the three-dimensional Hashin failure criterion. Various failure behaviors and mechanisms of the CARALL beams were numerically analyzed. The results indicated that the numerical simulation was consistent with the experimental results for the ultimate bearing capacity and final failure modes, and the failure process of the double-channel CARALL beams could be revealed. The ultimate failure modes of both types of double-channel CARALL beams were local buckling deformation at the intersection of the upper flange and web near the concentrated loading position, which was mainly caused by the delamination failure among different unidirectional plates, tension and compression failure of the matrix, and shear failure of the fiber layers. The ability of each fiber layer to resist damage decreased in the order of 90° fiber layer > 0° fiber layer > 45° fiber layer. Thus, it is suggested that 90°, 0°, and 45° fiber layers should be stacked for double-channel CARALL beams.

Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.

PurposeThe flexural reinforcement of bridges in-service has been an important research field for a long time. Anchoring steel plate at the bottom of beam is a simple and effective method to improve its bearing capacity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of anchoring steel plates of different thicknesses on the bearing capacity of hollow slab beam and to judge its working status.Design/methodology/approachFirst, static load experiments are carried out on two in-service RC hollow slab beams; meanwhile, nonlinear finite element models are built to study the bearing capacity of them. The nonlinear material and shear slip effect of studs are considered in the models. Second, the finite element models are verified, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, the finite element models are adopted to carry out the research on the influence of different steel plate thicknesses on the flexural bearing capacity and ductility.FindingsWhen steel plates of different thicknesses are adopted to reinforce RC hollow slab beams, the bearing capacity increases with the increase of the steel plate thickness in a certain range. But when the steel plate thickness reaches a certain level, bearing capacity is no longer influenced. The displacement ductility coefficient decreases with the increase of steel plate thickness.Originality/valueBased on experimental study, this paper makes an extrapolation analysis of the bearing capacity of hollow slab beams reinforced with steel plates of different thicknesses through finite element simulation and discusses the influence on ductility. This method not only ensures the accuracy of bearing capacity evaluation but also does not need many samples, which is economical to a certain extent. The research results provide a basis for the reinforcement design of similar bridges.

Four test pieces with different steel plate center-to-center distances and reinforcement ratios are subjected to low-cycle repeat quasistatic loading to optimize properties as failure mode, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation parameters, strength parameters, and seismic performance of high-strength concrete low-rise shear walls. The embedded steel plates are shown to effectively restrict wall crack propagation, enhance the overall steel ratio, and improve the failure mode of the wall while reducing the degree of brittle failure. Under the same conditions, increasing the spacing between the steel plates in the steel plate concrete shear wall can effectively preserve the horizontal bearing capacity of the shear wall under an ultimate load. The embedded steel plates perform better than concealed bracing in delaying stiffness degeneration in the low-rise shear walls, thus safeguarding their long-term bearing capacity. The results presented here may provide a workable basis for shear wall design optimization.

To investigate the flexural bearing capacity in negative moment region of composite beams,we examined different ends constraint components. The modeling of the beam ends connected framework has been done by the finite element software ANSYS. The concrete thickness, slab reinforcement ratio and different component at the edge of the composite framework in the negative moment region are taken into account. The performance during the process of deformation and failure are got by nonlinear analysis. The flexural bearing capacity was reported, with the negative moment region of the composite frame beam, it revealed great differences when the beams are different component. Simulation results show that the concrete thickness take the biggest influence on bearing capacity. The results showed the behaviors of the composite frame beams are different with positive moment region, and calculation based on current code for design of steel structure (GB50017-2003) would be a big deviation.

In order to study the flexural behavior of simply supported beams consisting of gradient concrete and GFRP bars, 28 simply supported beams were designed. The main parameters included the strength grades of high-strength concrete (HSC), GFRP reinforcement ratio, and sectional height of HSC. Based on nonlinear constitutive models of materials, meanwhile, considering the bond slip between concrete and GFRP bars, five simply supported beams with gradient concrete and five simply supported beams with GFRP bars were simulated, respectively. Then the mid-span load–displacement curves of beams were obtained. By comparing with the experimental data, the rationality of material constitutive models and finite element modeling was verified. Based on this, the parameter analysis of the beams with GFRP bars and gradient concrete was carried out, and the failure modes of the beams were obtained through investigation. The results show that the failure process of the beams can be divided into two stages: elastic stage and working stage with cracks. With the increase of GFRP reinforcement ratio, the flexural bearing capacity of the beams does not change significantly, while their stiffness increases gradually. The flexural bearing capacity of the beams can be significantly improved by appropriately increasing the strength and sectional height of HSC. The ultimate bearing capacity of the beams is 40% higher than that of the GFRP concrete beams. Finally, based on the plane-section assumption, the calculation formula of normal-section flexural bearing capacity of this kind of beams is proposed through statistical regression method.

The flexural behavior of non-holomorphic circular pile and cylindrical pile is respectively evaluated based on the results of finite element analysis with ABAQUS. It is presented that the ultimate bearing capacities of non-holomorphic circular pile and cylindrical pile have little difference. The displacement ductility ratio of non-holomorphic circular pile lies between 3.38 and 3.64, indicating that the NHC pile has better ductility.

After testing on T-type rubber bearing under tensile, compression and shear mechanical properties under different temperature in this paper. Obtained load deflection curve and destructive mode under different loading conditions at -40 and normal temperature of rubber components. Analysis the impact of temperature and the loading conditions that effect on load-elongation and destructive mode of T-type damping rubber structure. It showed that T-end rubber bearing has different kinds of deformation under different force-giving methods. Under compression, the stress pattern of the rubber bearing is three-dimensional and middle rubber bear the greatest force. Under tensile loading, the middle part of the rubber contract and the side with smaller lateral section has greater shrinkage; moreover, damage occurred in the area with stress concentration and weak strength. Under shearing action, extrude faces appeared with crinkle and damage occurred in the middle part of extrude faces. At the low temperature-40 , rubber support still has great elastic properties. The low temperature has a big effect on tensile properties and has little effect on damage properties.
