Aerated Concrete

Non-linear analysis of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block masonry composite wall with column has been conducted using finite element software ABAQUS. First, the finite element results were verified with laboratory results of full-scale specimens. Effects of horizontal reinforcement ratio on seismic performance were investigated. The analysis indicates that shearing strength of the wall is affected by the openings greatly. Seismic performance is improved with the increase of horizontal reinforcement ratio. The effect of vertical stress on wall without openings is more than that on wall with openings. Bearing capacity of walls without openings has a linear relationship with the horizontal reinforcement ratio. And bearing capacity of walls with openings is related to the place where the reinforcements are installed as well as the horizontal reinforcement ratio.

Security And Reliability

Various new type scaffolds have been introduced and developed in China. They are novel in structure and economic in material, but their security and reliability can not be ignored. This paper introduced a new chained formwork support frame with nine upright tubes and many cross-braced connections. Firstly, the load test of the support frame was performed in order to observe the failure process and to determine the ultimate bearing capacity. Then, the strength and stability of both single upright tube and a cross-braced rod were checked according to the existing specifications on scaffolds. Finally, a finite element software ANSYS was used to establish a solid model for the support frame. The structural stability was analyzed and the ultimate bearing capacity was calculated. The comparison between the computational and experiment results was carried out. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the new chained formwork support frame is controlled by the structural stability.

With the rapid development of economy and the civil engineering discipline, the seismic performance of existing masonry wall can't satisfy the codes and regional seismic requirements. As a result, strengthening the earthquake resistance of it is put on the agenda. Using large-scale finite element software-abaqus, this paper analyzes different methods of strengthening masonry walls by constructional columns. Under the premise of the cross area of the columns used to reinforce is identical, it shows that the wall strengthened by bilateral constructional columns has a better seismic performance than by unilateral constructional column. The ductility coefficient of the former increases 49.4% than the original masonry, while the latter increases 26.3%. The bilateral constructional column could significantly improve the integrity and ductility of the masonry wall, so does the seismic performance. It has engineering sense for the strengthening work.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the mechanical behavior and failure mode of recycled concrete brick masonry wall under cycling in-plane load. These models of masonry walls were constructed in the laboratory and experimented under in-plane cycling load. The masonry wall was made of recycled concrete bricks joined by mortar, with gypsum lining on both faces. A simulation based on the experiment was carried out using the finite element software ANSYS. In the proposed FE model, the recycling concrete bricks and joints were modeled separately, allowing for nonlinear deformation characteristics of the two materials. The results of the experiment and the finite element analysis were analyzed and compared. When the stress distributions were taken into consideration in the experiments and solutions of ANSYS, it was observed that the stress concentration occurred on two diagonals of the masonry wall. The destruction process and characteristics of the masonry wall were obtained by the experiments. The results of finite element method matched experimental results very well. The FE software ANSYS can be used in the analysis of recycling concrete brick masonry walls under in-plane cycling load and strength capacity.

The loading process, failure mechanism, ultimate bearing capacity was studied. The seismic behavior such as hysteretic characteristics, backbone curve, ductility, energy dissipation capacity were analyzed too. The test results show that the seismic performance of recycled concrete perforated brick masonry is similar to those of ordinary concrete perforated brick walls. The test results also indicate that the seismic behavior of recycled concrete perforated brick masonry is good. The specimens have good hysteresis loops and ductility, strong energy dissipation capacities.

Based on the experiment of eight reinforced concrete T-shaped columns under low cyclic load, the factors which affect bearing capacity and seismic behavior, such as limb length, axial load ratio, stirrup ratio and the arrangement of longitudinal bars, etc., are analyzed. Tests results show that the bearing capacity of the columns increases, but the ductility is decreased with an increase of axial load ratio. The bearing capacity of T-shaped column increases when the web gets longer, while its deformability and ductility decrease. Besides, increase of stirrup ratio and longitudinal bars in the end of the web also have effect on the ductility of the columns.

In the thesis, simulated analyses of six large-scale abutments under the low reversed cyclic horizontal load were performed by using the nonlinear finite element software of ABAQUS. The hysteresis behavior, skeleton curve, displacement ductility energy-dissipating capacity of the thin-walled hollow pier under the combined action of the bending, pressing, and shearing were discussed in this thesis. And it also analyzed factors that affect the bearing capacity and ductility of the bridge pier, such as the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, volume-stirrup ratio, the axial load ratio. Results indicate that the volume-stirrup ratio is the principal factor which affects the seismic performance of thin-walled hollow pier. With the increment of volume-stirrup ratio, the ductility factor increases; as the axial load increased, bearing capacity increased correspondingly; when the piers are under higher axial pressure, the longitudinal reinforcement ratio has more significant effect on the bearing capacity of structure.
