In order to study the performance of lightweight energy-saving composite floor, the finite element models of composite floor were established, which was based on the composite floor specimens test research. The finite element models were verified rationally and correctly in the paper, through compared with the composite floor test results. The finite element model can be used to analyze the load-bearing capacity of composite floor. Various influencing factors of composite floor with simply supported end were analyzed, such as the span of self-tapping screw, the diameter of self-tapping screw, the strength of thin panel and the elastic modulus of thin panel, etc. The results show that the load-bearing capacity of composite floor increases with the increase of the number of self-tapping screw, the diameter of self-tapping screw, the strength of thin panel and the elastic modulus of thin panel, etc. The load-bearing capacity calculate formula of composite floor was proposed.

This article investigates the behaviour of slender concrete-filled steel tube square columns strengthened by concrete-filled steel tube jacketing. The columns were realised by placing a square outer steel tube around the original slender concrete-filled steel tube column and pouring strengthening concrete into the gap between the inner and outer steel tubes. Three concrete-filled steel tube square columns and seven retrofitted columns ranging from 1200 to 2000 mm were tested to failure under axial compression. The experimental parameters included three length-to-width ( L/ B1) ratios, three width-to-thickness ( B1/ t1) ratios and three strengths of concrete jacket (C50-grade, C60-grade and C70-grade). Experimentally, the retrofitted columns failed in a similar manner to traditional slender concrete-filled steel tube columns. After strengthening, the retrofitted columns benefitted greatly from the component materials, with their load-bearing capacity and ductility notably enhanced. These enhancements were mainly brought about by sectional enlargement and good confinement of concrete. A finite element model was developed using ABAQUS to better understand the axial behaviour of the retrofitted specimens. A parametric study was conducted, with parameters including the length of the column, thickness of the outer steel tube, strength of the concrete jacket, yield strength of the outer steel tube, thickness of the inner steel tube and strength of the inner concrete. Furthermore, the finite element model was adopted to study the behaviour of rust-damaged and post-fire slender concrete-filled steel tube square columns strengthened by square concrete-filled steel tube jacketing. A modified formula was proposed to predict the load-bearing capacity of retrofitted specimens, and the numerical results agreed well with the experiments and the finite element results of undamaged, rust-damaged and post-fire specimens. It could be used as a reference for practical application.

Large displacements during excavation are regularly observed in Squeezing ground condition and Rock-burst condition with high overburden. The expected displacement has to be estimated prior to excavation to provide enough allowance for the displacements. The support system need to be well-suited through the estimated imposed strains. As the estimated displacements and thus the strains in the support depend upon the load-bearing capacity of support. The ratio of uniaxial compressive strength of rock mass to maximal insitu stress determines tunnel integrity in the weak region.This ratio estimates the requirements of initial lining to control strain to a stipulated level. The elasto-plastic theory may deliver definitive forecasts providing the strength limitations of rock masses are identified accurately. With the help of empirical analysis, the development of displacements for diverse advance rates and supports can be concluded. As a consequence, a quantitative finite element model based on an advanced built-in model is designed to analyse the load-bearing efficiency of initial lining although taking into consideration the time-dependent and non-linear material behaviour of initial lining. The time-dependent excavation mechanism of the drill-and-blast approach for tunnels guided by full face excavation is considered in the finite element model. The material parameters for the initial lining were computed based on case studies- (A Chibro-Khodri Hydropower Tunnel).

This paper studies the working mechanism, ductility, and ultimate load bearing capacity of the composite columns through axial load bearing capacity experiments on eight steel skeleton-steel pipes reinforced composite concrete columns. The results show that the collaborative work between the steel pipe, steel skeleton and concrete can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the column, delay or inhibit the spread of shear diagonal cracks in the concrete and improve the ductility of the column. In addition, the finite element software ANSYS is used to digitally simulate the whole process of axial pressure test, and the resulting load-displacement curves and experimental curves agree fairly well.

Many methods have been developed in order to study the impact behavior of solids and structures. Two common methods are finite element and experimental method. The nonlinear finite element method is one the most effective methods of predicting the behavior of RC beams from zero-load to failure and its fracture, yield and ultimate strengths. The advantage of this method is its ability to make this prediction for all sections of the assessed RC beam and all stages of loading. This paper compares the experimental results obtained for a RC frame with the numerical results calculated by ABAQUS software, and plots both sets of results as hysteresis–displacement diagrams. This comparison shows that the numerical FEM implemented via ABAQUS software produce valid and reliable results for load bearing capacity of RC frames subjected to cyclic loads, and therefore has significant cost and time efficiency advantages over the alternative approach

Simulation Methodology

Assessments of residual load-carrying capacity are often conducted for composite structural components that have received impact damage. The availability of a verified simulation methodology can provide significant cost savings when such assessments are required. To support the development of a reliable and accurate simulation methodology, this study investigated the predictive capabilities of a stacked solid-shell finite element model of a cylindrical composite component with a damage mechanics-based description of the intra-ply material response and a cohesive contact model used for simulation of the inter-ply behavior. Identification of material properties for the model was conducted through mechanical characterization. Special attention was paid to understanding the influence of non-physical parameters of the intra- and inter-ply material models on predicting compressive failure load of damaged composite cylinders. Calibration of the model conducted using the response surface methodology allowed for identifying rational values of the non-physical parameters. The results of simulations with the identified and calibrated finite element model showed reasonable correlation with experimental data in terms of the predicted failure loads and post-impact and post-failure damage modes. The investigated modeling technique can be recommended for evaluating the residual load-bearing capacity of flat and curved composite parts with impact damage working under the action of compressive loads.

Square Steel Tube

Prestressed concrete-filled square steel tube truss is the kind of truss whose upper chords and lower chords are respectively concrete-filled square steel tube and prestressed square steel tube. Four truss models as square steel tube truss, concrete-filled square steel tube truss, prestressed square steel tube truss and prestressed concrete-filled square steel tube truss were analysed by ANSYS, each of those truss models’ span has three variations. The result shows that the bar sections’ strength of square steel tube truss and concrete-filled square steel tube truss are far from reaching their design strength when the allowable values of deflection has reachedl//400. Unlike the cases described above, when the bar sections’ strength of prestressed square steel tube truss and prestressed concrete-filled square steel tube truss has reached their design strength, their load-bearing capacity is 1 or 1.5 times higher than those cases above and their deflection has not reached the allowable values.

This paper aims to investigate the seismic performance of hollow floor interior slab-column connection (HFISC). In this new connection system, several tube fillers are placed in slab to form hollow concrete. Moreover, locally solid zone, shear components, and hidden beam around the connections are installed to improve the bearing capacity and ductility of specimens. Three slab-column connections with different shear components were tested under cyclic loading and every specimen was constructed with parallel tube fillers in the north direction and orthogonal tube fillers in the south direction. The seismic behavior of specimens was evaluated according to the hysteretic response, skeleton curve, ductility, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation. A finite element model was then developed and validated by a comparison with the experimental results. Based on experimental results and finite element analysis results, the relative effects of the hollow ratio of slab, the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement, the shear area of bent-up steel bars, and the arm length of welding section steel cross bridging were elucidated through parametric studies. This new slab-column connection showed better plastic deformation capacity while the bearing capacity was kept. Specimens with parallel tube fillers showed better seismic behavior than those of specimens with orthogonal tube fillers.
