In order to solve the insufficient bearing capacity of the large-diameter circular steel tube K-Joints, the chord in the joint zone is filled with the concrete. The reinforcement of bearing capacity that the concrete makes to K-Joints is researched with the finite element numerical simulation method, in consideration of the material nonlinearity and the geometric nonlinearity. The numerical computation of bearing behavior is employed to eighteen groups of the large-diameter circular steel tube K-Joints and reinforced ones with the concrete (RK-Joints). The failure styles and the influencing factors of bearing capacity are analyzed with RK-Joints. The result shows that the bearing capacity of K-Joints is enhanced significantly by the concrete filled in the chord in the joint zone. The load-deformation curves reveal the changing regularity that the bearing capacity of joint follows the relevant parameters. It can provide reference for the engineering application of RK-Joints.

Abstract Cracks were found in the slab of a nuclear power plant when the formwork was removed. By means of ultrasonic testing, water storage test and crack width detection, the fracture distribution, depth and width characteristics are determined. On this basis, the numerical simulation analysis of hydration heat in the maintenance process is carried out to simulate the possible crack generation and distribution of the floor slab in the maintenance process. The simulation result shows that cracks under the combined action of temperature and shrinkage are consistent with the cracking characteristics of floor slab. Through numerical simulation of the cracked floor and intact floor, the change of the out of plane bearing capacity (bending and shear) of the cracked floor is compared and analyzed. In the model, considering the reduction of the bearing capacity at the crack section and the change of load transfer effect at the crack interface, the concrete model is disconnected according to the known opening situation, and the contact relationship is set on the crack interface to simulate the crack. Through comparative analysis, the mechanical properties of the cracked floor are evaluated, and the refined numerical simulation method of the working components with cracks is proposed. This paper can provide guidance for the cause analysis and influence evaluation of similar thick plate cracking phenomenon.

Stress Curve

The paper proposed a new reinforcement technique-planting steel technique. By numerical simulation analysis of planting steel, the load – slip curve, the load – stress curve and others were obtained. Meanwhile, ultimate bearing capacity of angle was calculated, and the ultimate bearing capacities with the same model at different anchorage depths were compared. With the anchorage depth increased, the ultimate bearing capacity increased too. But while the anchorage depth increased to a certain value, the ultimate bearing capacity no longer increased. All these provided a theoretical basis for the engineering application of planting steel technique.

The effects of pile diameter, the property of pile end bearing stratum, the material parameters of pile shaft and the changes of pile length on the bearing performance of extra-long and large-diameter single pile were examined with the finite element software ABAQUS to make the numerical simulation analysis, by establishing the overall axial symmetry model, which was based on the data of static load test of single pile at the Yellow River Bridge site. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of single pile, the stiffness and the end resistance ratio would increase gradually, whereas the compression settlement ratio decreases slowly; the pile end grouting can significantly increase the ultimate loads, and therefore, improve the bearing performance of piles, but it has little effect on the stiffness of pile when loading was smaller; the elastic modulus of pile shaft has no effect on the ultimate bearing capacity of friction piles, little on the end resistance ratio, while the pile compression settlement ratio would gradually decrease and the stiffness would increased with the increase of the elastic modulus of pile shaft, and this increase of stiffness would slow down with the increase of elastic modulus of pile shaft; it is unreasonable to improve the ultimate bearing capacity of extra-long single pile only by means of increasing the pile length.

Vertical Bearing Capacity

The load transfer mechanism of a special-shaped tubular pile with rib is studied by numerical simulation. The results show that a higher side friction can be observed for the radial surface of the rib and the circumferential surface than the side surface of the rib at the same displacement. The influence of rib length and width on vertical bearing capacity are also discussed. It can be found that the length of the rib has a more significant effect on the vertical bearing capacity than the width. The bearing characteristic of the tubular pile with rib is also compared with the ordinary circular section tubular pile to provide a guideline to the engineering application.

Based on the numerical simulation method, this paper has established the numerical simulation method by using of finite difference software of FLAC3D through establishing interface for digging pile-soil. It can consider mutual effect of digging pile-soil. The uplift bearing capacity of the digging pile in slope ground was calculated and the affecting factors of the bearing capacity were analyzed. The results show that the uplift bearing capacity has a negative correlation with the slope ratio, and has a positive correlation with the width or height of the foundation, which can be expressed as a quadratic polynomial. But when the slope ratio is smaller than a certain extent, the capacity no longer increases. Nonlinear regression analysis of calculation data are carried out. Finally, the calculation method of uplift bearing capacity about pile in the slope is developed, which can provide a reference to specification revision and engineering.

The fatigue life of turbine housing is an important index to measure the reliability of a radial turbocharger. The increase in turbine inlet temperatures in the last few years has resulted in a decrease in the fatigue life of turbine housing. A simulation method and experimental verification are required to predict the life of a turbine housing in the early design and development process precisely. The temperature field distribution of the turbine housing is calculated using the steady-state bidirectional coupled conjugate heat transfer method. Next, the temperature field results are considered as the boundary for calculating the turbine housing temperature and thermomechanical strain, and then, the thermomechanical strain of the turbine housing is determined. Infrared and digital image correlations are used to measure the turbine housing surface temperature and total thermomechanical strain. Compared to the numerical solution, the maximum temperature RMS (Root Mean Square) error of the monitoring point in the monitoring area is only 3.5%; the maximum strain RMS error reached 11%. Experimental results of temperature field test and strain measurement test show that the testing temperature and total strain results are approximately equal to the solution of the numerical simulation. Based on the comparison between the numerical calculation and experimental results, the numerical simulation and test results were found to be in good agreement. The experimental and simulation results of this method can be used as the temperature and strain (stress) boundaries for subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) simulation analysis of the turbine housing.

In order to explore the influence of internal water on the seismic response of hydraulic tunnel, the combined mechanical analysis models of multimaterial including surrounding rock, lining structure, and internal water are built. Based on the explicit central difference method, the dynamic finite element analysis methods for rock, lining, and water are discussed, respectively. The dynamic contact force method is used to simulate the rock-lining contact interaction, and the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) method is used to simulate the lining-water coupling interaction. Then a numerical simulation analysis method for combined seismic response of rock-lining-water system in hydraulic tunnel is proposed, and the detailed solving steps are given. This method is used to study the seismic stability characteristics of the water diversion tunnel in a hydropower station, and the displacement, stress, and damage failure characteristics of the lining structure under the conditions of no water, static water, and dynamic water are comparatively analyzed. The results show that the hydrostatic pressure restricts the seismic response of the lining, while the hydrodynamic pressure exacerbates its seismic response and leads to damage, separation, and slip failure appearing on the haunch, which can provide a scientific reference for the seismic design of hydraulic tunnel with high water head and large diameter.

The numerical simulation analysis of the two groups of fullscale complex tubular joints of the Beijing New Airport Terminal C type steel column under space static loading tests has been conducted by adopting software ABAQUS. The results obtained from the numerical simulation analysis consistent with those from the tests which enriched the research findings. Based on the research, mechanical performance of the joints has been carried out, the failure modes and ultimate bearing capacity of the joints with no stiffening ribs, three stiffening ribs and five stiffening ribs has been obtained. The numerical simulation results showed that, the bearing capacity of the joints without stiffening ribs were relatively low, the plastic failure of the main pipe was the major form of the destruction and the safety performance were too poor to meet the actual needs of the project. The bearing capacity of the joints significantly improved with the stiffening ribs set inside and the destruction changed to the connection of the main tubular and the branch, which means that the stress of the joints has been obviously improved by the setting of the stiffening ribs and was able to meet the needs of Beijing New Airport Terminal C type column. Through the comparative analysis of the stiffening ribs setting, it can be found that the bearing capacity of the joints were similar between the three and five stiffening ribs, considering the construction difficulty and economic benefits, three stiffening ribs has been selected as the final optimization result.

Shear Bearing Capacity

In this paper, in order to investigate the shear mechanism and shear capacity of framework joints of steel-reinforced concrete-filled circular steel tube (SRCFCST), a numerical finite element model reflecting the mechanical behavior of framework joints of SRCFCST column-reinforced concrete beam is established through simulating concrete by the damage plastic constitutive model and simulating steel by the ideal elastic-plastic material, and its effectiveness is verified by experimental data. On account of uniform distribution of circular steel reinforced around the section and without definite flange and web, the shear mechanism of the framework joints of SRCFCST is analyzed on the basis of equivalent circular steel tube (CST) to the rectangular steel tube. The method for calculating the superposed shear bearing capacities of the joint core area is proposed, which is composed of four parts, i.e., concrete inside tube, concrete outside tube, hooping and steel-reinforced web; and the corresponding formulas for calculating shear bearing capacity are established. The comparative analysis of joints’ shear bearing capacity indicates that the results of numerical simulation and shear bearing capacity formulas coincide well with the experimental values, which can provide reference for the nonlinear analysis and engineering design of similar joints.
