In this paper, a practical design procedure for thin-skinned steel-composite composite panels subjected to axial or flexural loadings is developed. Ignoring the adhesive forces between steel and core concrete, steel skins may be modeled as thin plates resting on tensionless rigid or elastic foundations (concrete material). Sections of steel skin tend to become separated (delaminated) from the core concrete and buckle away from it, while other areas keep contact with the inside material. This phenomenon is named as contact buckling. Based on the governing equations of thin plates in contact area and noncontact area, initial buckling response of thin skins may be obtained. Then it becomes possible to use effective width-based formulas to deduce ultimate strengths of the unilaterally constrained skins. At last, design formulas for section capacity of composite members due to axial and flexural loadings are developed.

Considering the different mechanism of self-stress formation, a new type of structure was proposed for expansive grouted clamp, which is used for underwater repair on steel tubular. Since the structure is changed totally, the corresponding design method should be modified. This paper summarizes a design method of the new type of expansive stressed grouted clamp and sorts out a set of practical design procedure for the new structure. The core principles of the design method are based on the checks on slip capacity, member crushing and structural strength, associated with the experiment data and previous design experience as reference. An example of such clamp design for repairing a horizontal brace of a jacket platform is also introduced to describe how this method works.

Abstract Free vibration analysis of homogeneous and isotropic annular thin plates by using Green’s functions is considered. The formula of the influence function for uniform thin circular and annular plates is presented in closed-form. The limited independent solutions of differential Euler equation were expanded in the Neumann power series based on properties of integral equations. The analytical frequency equations as power series were obtained using the method of successive approximations. The natural axisymmetric frequencies for singularities when the core radius approaches zero are calculated. The results are compared with selected results presented in the literature.

In order to study the mechanical behavior of the joint between concrete filled steel tubular column and beam with discontinuous column tube at the joint zone under axial pressure, the finite element analysis software ANSYS is adopted for parametric analysis and the analysis results are compared with experimental ones. The principal compressive stress is mainly transmitted by the inside area of the joint which is subjected to local compression if it is low, but extends to more outside areas of the joint if it is high. The radial compressive stress, which is the confined stress of the ring beam to the core concrete of the joint, keeps the same as that the width of the ring beam equal to the diameter of the core area of the joint. The vertical strain on the edge of the joint, which would lead to horizontal annular cracks in the side face of the ring beam, changes from tension in the whole height to tension only in the top part and compression in the lower part of the joint, which is consistent with the experimental phenomenon.

In the present paper, the geometrically nonlinear behavior of piezoelastic thin plates is studied. First, the governing equations for the electromechanically coupled problem are derived based on the von Karman–Tsien kinematic assumption. Here, the Berger approximation is extended to the coupled piezoelastic problem. The general equations are then reduced to a single nonlinear partial differential equation for the special case of simply supported polygonal edges. The nonlinear equations are approximated by using a problem-oriented Ritz Ansatz in combination with a Galerkin procedure. Based on the resulting equations the buckling and post-buckling behavior of a polygonal simply supported plate is studied in a nondimensional form, where the special geometry of the polygonal plate enters via the eigenvalues of a Helmholtz problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Single term as well as multi-term solutions are discussed including the effects of piezoelectric actuation and transverse force loadings upon the solution. Novel results concerning the buckling, snap through and snap buckling behavior are presented.

In the present study, a series of pull-off tests is performed to determine the bonding properties of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites applied to a brittle substrate. Pull-off test is simple, fast and cheap and it is generally employed to evaluate the bond strength between the composite and the substrate. It is a procedure that can be easily performed on-site for checking the quality of the reinforcement adhesion.A steel composite made of a unidirectional steel fabric embedded in an organic matrix (bi-component epoxy resin) was applied to the surface of fired-clay bricks. A shallow core perpendicular to the surface was realized in the test specimen, leaving the core attached to the brick. A steel dolly was glued to the external surface of the core using epoxy adhesive. A loading device was employed to apply the tensile force until failure. The effects of moisture presence on the substrate and shape of the cores on the pull-off strength were investigated.

SummaryThe governing elasticity equations for sandwich shells of double curvature are discussed. No restriction is placed on the thickness of the honeycomb core, and the faces are taken to be made up from fibre reinforced plastic laminations. Some numerical results are given for a circular cylinder subjected to uniform internal radial loading. The results show the importance of treating the core as a thick shell, and of including the bending effects and coupling terms in the laminated faces.

Concrete-filled rectangular steel tube four sides restraint effect on the core concrete was weaker than the corner, which made the effect not significant. The paper studied a new kind of stiffening rib –PBL stiffener to strengthen restraint effect of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube , and evaluated its advantages compared with other stiffening ribs. 9 PBL stiffened concrete-filled rectangular steel tube columns under axial compressive load were tested. It also collected the test with other stiffened rids, such as straight ribs, binding bars, knee brace, steel reinforcement cage, steel bar stiffeners, saw tooth shaped stiffeners, stitching straight stiffeners and no rib concrete filled rectangular steel tube to compare. It evaluated increasing coefficient of bearing capacity by stiffening ribs. The results showed that: the PBL stiffeners and binding bar of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube bearing capacity was greater than other reinforcement measures by more than 20%; PBL stiffener could be a new prominent type of stiffener because of its excellent mechanical performance and simple construction.
