For the current simplified calculation of pile-brace support structure can not calculate the displacements of pile and brace, the authors try to start from the deflection differential equation of beam on elastic foundation, considering the deformation compatibility of pile and brace, and obtains the internal forces and displacements of pile by using Finite Difference Method. Meanwhile, Finite Element Method is used to analyze and calculate the horizontal displacements of pile. The results show that the values obtained by this article are closer to the measured values than that obtained by Finite Element Method. The method is accurate, reliable and simple. Besides, this author also analysis the different horizontal displacements of pile under different parameter conditions of support structure, which can provide some valuable suggestions for the design of foundation pit.

End-plate connections are very often used is steelwork, as tension and bending connections. As a result of deflection of end plate, additional forces, known as prying forces arise and consequently increase stresses in bolts. Eurocode 1993-1-8 do not distinguish end-plate connections prestressed by high strength bolts from non-prestressed. The aim of the paper is to perform the comparison of previous analytical models and code regulations for coefficient of prying forces to the experimental tests and modelling by finite element method. Results of the analysis show that the behaviour of prestressed connection is essentially different with comparison to non-prestressed.

In order to calculate the interaction between complicated foundation and sluice plate conveniently, an effective method was proposed to solve this problem in the paper. This method regarded the sluice plate and foundation as two substructures, which are connected with chain-bars. The unit displacement of the sluice plate and the settlement of the foundation surface are calculated by the analytical method and the finite element method, respectively. And the counter-force of the foundation is calculated by the mixed method. At the same time, the displacement and internal force are calculated by the principle of superposition. All the results reflect the interaction effect between the sluice plate and foundation fairly good.

Abstract: This paper takes the project of the navigation lock in Jialing River as an example to study the lock head structure design layout, and build up a three-dimensional finite element model and carry on the nonlinear numerical calculations by using large finite software ABAQUS, and calculating the structural internal force of the lock head by the 3D nonlinear finite element method. This paper utilizes the numerical analysis method to analyze soil strength parameters. Combining with the FEM calculation data, the data-fit between the influencing factors and the side piers’ stress and displacement was found. This provides new thoughts to analyze the influence of multivariate interaction on the lock head structure.

Took two layers of single span lateral sway semi-rigid connecting steel frame to bear vertical load function as the research object, adopting finite element method for solving the bucking load of the whole losing the stability of the semi-rigid connecting steel frame. Using based on the energy method and the three parabolic interpolation deflection curve function to obtain the relationship between the both element ends of internal force and displacement and introducing semi-rigid beam element stiffness matrix and geometric stiffness matrix of element integrate the global stiffness matrix which contains the flexibility of the connections and the component geometry nonlinear, thus deducing the stability characteristic equation of semi-rigid steel frame. And the MATLAB language composition program is applied to calculate the buckling load of overall losing stability of the semi-rigid steel frame, thus obtaining the buckling load of semi-rigid steel frame. The method is a very effective numerical calculating method which can solve the stability problems of relatively complicated stress conditions or relatively complicated structure composition conditions and it can also satisfy the requirement of higher calculation accuracy, easy for programming and calculation and of great practicability.

This paper presents an explicit smoothed finite element method (SFEM) for elastic dynamic problems. The central difference method for time integration will be used in presented formulations. A simple but general contact searching algorithm is used to treat the contact interface and an algorithm for the contact force is presented. In present method, the problem domain is first divided into elements as in the finite element method (FEM), and the elements are further subdivided into several smoothing cells. Cell-wise strain smoothing operations are used to obtain the stresses, which are constants in each smoothing cells. Area integration over the smoothing cell becomes line integration along its edges, and no gradient of shape functions is involved in computing the field gradients nor in forming the internal force. No mapping or coordinate transformation is necessary so that the element can be used effectively for large deformation problems. Through several examples, the simplicity, efficiency and reliability of the smoothed finite element method are demonstrated.
