In recent years, the progressive collapse of buildings increases the interest in progressive collapse studies. If a key column fails in structure, the internal force is redistributed by the catenary action of joint to prevent its progressive collapse. The joint connecting to the failed column is under the state of bending moment combined with tensional force and the tensional force would affect the moment-resistance ability and ductility of joint. In this paper, the finite element software ABAQUS is applied to analyze the behavior of composite joints under the state of bending moment combined with tensional force. The effects of rebar ratio, rebar strength, concrete strength, etc., on the behavior of joints are investigated. The results show that high strength steel is suggested to be used in composite joint to improve its bending moment capacity and tensional capacity.

The steel assembled support structure of a foundation pit can be assembled easily with high strength and recycling value. Steel’s performance is significantly affected by the surrounding temperature due to its temperature sensitivity. Here, a full-scale experiment was conducted to study the influence of temperature on the internal force and deformation of supporting structures, and a three-dimensional finite element model was established for comparative analysis. The test results showed that under the temperature effect, the deformation of the central retaining pile was composed of rigid rotation and flexural deformation, while the adjacent pile of central retaining pile only experienced flexural deformation. The stress on the retaining pile crown changed little, while more stress accumulated at the bottom. Compared with the crown beam and waist beam 2, the stress on waist beam 1 was significantly affected by the temperature and increased by about 0.70 MPa/°C. Meanwhile, the stress of the rigid panel was greatly affected by the temperature, increasing 78% and 82% when the temperature increased by 15 °C on rigid panel 1 and rigid panel 2, respectively. The comparative simulation results indicated that the bending moment and shear strength of pile 1 were markedly affected by the temperature, but pile 2 and pile 3 were basically stable. Lastly, as the temperature varied, waist beam 2 had the largest change in the deflection, followed by waist beam 1; the crown beam experienced the smallest change in the deflection.

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.

An innovative beam-to-column composite joint with adapter-bracket was proposed and its behavior was investigated through finite element analysis. The special adapter-bracket is to facilitate the assembly of the steel box beam and the concrete-filled steel tube column through high-strength blind bolts. In the adapter-bracket, two endplates are welded to the beam and bolted to the column, respectively. First, two finite element models of the bolted extended endplate joint were developed in ABAQUS and validated by available experimental results. Then, based on modified models, parametric analyses were conducted to evaluate the novel joint performance, in terms of the initial stiffness, rotation capacity, moment capacity, failure mode, and joint classification. The variables included flange thickness, endplate thickness, and bolt size. Results demonstrated that the joint behavior was significantly affected by the flange thickness, the endplate-A thickness, and bolt size while slightly influenced by the endplate-B thickness. Additionally, these joints had favorable rotation and moment capacity.

The paper aims at quantifying the changes in notional reliability levels that result from redesigning an existing suezmax tanker to comply with new Joint Tanker Project (JTP) rule requirement for ultimate vertical bending moment capacity. The probability of structural failure is calculated using a first-order reliability method. The evaluation of the wave-induced load effects that occur during long-term operation of the ship in the seaway is carried out in accordance to IACS recommended procedure. Comparative analysis of long-term distributions of vertical wave bending moment calculated by two independent computer seakeeping codes is performed. The still water loads are defined on the basis of a statistical analysis of loading conditions from the loading manual. The ultimate collapse bending moment of the midship cross section, which is used as the basis for the reliability formulation, is evaluated by JTP single-step procedure and by program HULLCOLL for progressive collapse analysis of ship hull-girders. The reliability assessment is performed for “as-built” and “corroded” states of the existing ship and a reinforced design configuration complying with new JTP rules. It is shown that hull-girder failure probability of suezmax tanker reinforced according to new JTP rules is reduced several times. Sensitivity analysis and a parametric study are performed to investigate the variability of results to the change of parameters of pertinent random variables within their plausible ranges.

Abstract Square confined concrete arch is increasingly used in deep soft rock roadway support because of its advantages of high strength and construction convenience. However, the design of confined concrete arch in underground engineering still remains in experience-based method and lacks quantitative analysis. As a connecting component between arch sections, the connection joints have an important influence on the internal force distribution and failure mechanism of support arch. Therefore, a reasonable design of arch joints is the premise of rational support design. Taking Liangjia Coal Mine, a typical deep soft rock mine in China, as research background, this paper fully compared the most widely used joint types of confined concrete arch as analytical objects: flange joints and casing joints. The main failure modes of these two kinds of joints under bending moment are defined. Laboratory and numerical tests are carried out to study the mechanical characteristics of joints. Based on the M–θ curve, the influence law of different design parameters is analyzed, and the design principles of joints are proposed. The research results could provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of confined concrete arch in related projects.

In the system of preventing progressive collapse, the joints always play a key role in catenary action and alternate load path while the joints are usually under the combination of bending moment and tensional force. In this combination, high rotation capacity and good resistance of joints are demanded. In this paper, a new type of semi-rigid joint used in the structures with concrete-filled square steel tube (CFST) columns is proposed and developed by ABAQUS. The new type joint is suitable for the classification for semi-rigid connection; The bending moment resistance of the joint decreases linearly with the increase of tensional force; reducing pretension force reasonably is beneficial for the tensional force to develop “catenary action”; the width of short leg of angle would influence the moment resistance of the joint evidently; the initial rotation stiffness is not affected by width of leg dramatically.

The value selection of m has a greater influence on the internal force of pile. So, how to determine the value of m is very important for the “m” method. In this paper, a geotechnical finite element software PLAXIS is used for the nonlinear finite element analysis of elastic long pile under the horizontal force action. By using the calculated maximum bending moment and the maximum displacement at the ground, and combined with the related formula for “m” method given in 《Code for Pile Foundation of Harbour Engineering》, a more accurate value of m can be obtained conveniently. Because this method is simple and practical, it can provide a useful reference for the project designer to determine a reasonable value of m.

This paper investigates the effects of construction errors during the implementation of reinforced concrete T-beams. These errors are classified into two main sections. The first focuses on the position and ratio of reinforcing bars, while the other is related to the concrete strength.  A total of ten specimens of T-beams were tested to assess the effect of the possible defects in the construction sites, viz. impact of misplacement of slab reinforcement, irregular arrangement of slab reinforcement, the change in bar diameter of slab reinforcement and the effect of casting method of concrete on the structural behavior of T-beam sections. The results indicated that the faulty placement of slab reinforcement leads to a lower bending moment capacity of the slab (brittle behavior) and the steel strain of slab decreases as the height of slab reinforcement decreases. The irregularity of the reinforcing bars in concrete slab affects the ultimate load carrying capacity of the slab. Also, it was found out that well-arranged distribution of reinforcement improves the ductile behavior of the slab and reduces the corresponding deflections.

It is repair and reinforcement for damaged buildings that has become the main method to save investment and to avoid waste of resources. CFRP reinforcement is one of the reinforcement methods widely applied in recent years, which has advantages such as high strength, light self weight, small thickness, and good durability, etc. In this paper a reasonable constitutive model is selected and a simulation model of CFRP reinforced concrete beam is established by using ANSYS finite element software. The influences of different CFRP layers and concrete strength to the flexural property of reinforced concrete beams is analyzed in this paper. Moreover, a comparison is made with unreinforced concrete beams. The results show that the ultimate load of the beam reinforced by CFRP has greatly improved and mid-span deflection has been limited. With increase of CFRP layers, flexural property of the reinforced beam is enhanced. Under the circumstance of same number of CFRP layer, the higher the concrete strength is the better the reinforcement effect will be.

In this paper, the bending moment capacity for metallic pipes has been investigated to provide criteria for optimizing the cost effectiveness in pipeline seabed intervention design. An analytical solution for the ultimate load-carrying capacity of pipes subjected to combined pressure, longitudinal force, and bending has been derived and thoroughly compared against results obtained by the finite element method. The derived equations can be used for high-strength materials with isotropic as well as anisotropic stress/strain characteristics, and may be applied for pipelines, risers, and piping if safety factors are calibrated in accordance with appropriate target safety levels.
