Most of the previous researches on the concrete-filled steel tube are restricted to deterministic approach. To give a clearer insight about random properties of circular concrete-filled steel tube, reliability analysis is carried in the present study. Material and geometrical nonlinear analysis of a circular concrete-filled steel tube is performed with a three-dimensional degenerated beam element, which can efficiently obtain the structural nonlinear responses. Through the combination of first order reliability method and nonlinear finite element analysis, the reliability about ultimate resistance capacity of the concrete-filled steel tube is investigated. The influences of parameters such as material strength, slenderness, initial geometrical imperfection, and etc. on reliability of circular concrete-filled steel tube column are studied. Some conclusions obtained from reliability analysis may be beneficial for rational analysis and design of the concrete-filled steel tube in practical engineer structures.

A three-dimensional finite element analysis model was developed using ABAQUS to simulate the temperature distributions of circular concrete filled steel tube reinforced concrete column in this paper. The influence of main parameters on the temperature distribution, such as heating time, section diameter, and steel tube diameter, was analyzed. This provides valuable information about structural fire resistance and structural behaviour of concrete filled steel tube reinforced concrete column structure under fire.

This paper presents a reliability analysis of wood I-joists for both strength and serviceability limit states. Results are obtained from a finite element analysis coupled with a first-order reliability method. For the strength limit state of load-carrying capacity, multiple failure modes are considered, each involving the interaction of several random variables. Good agreement is achieved between the test results and the theoretical prediction of variability in load-carrying capacity. Finally, a procedure is given to obtain load-sharing adjustment factors applicable to repetitive member systems such as floors and flat roofs. Key words: reliability, limit state design, wood composites, I-joist, structural analysis.

Reliability analysis of corroded pipelines is critical to the integrity and safe working of pipeline infrastructure. Aiming at less probability information is obtained for corrosion pipeline engineering, and the mechanical properties of pipeline with corrosion defects deteriorate caused by the accumulative effect of corrosion growth. Based on the quasi-static analysis method and non-probability theory, this paper presents a reliability model for assessing corroded pipelines with corrosion growth. In fact, reliability analysis of corroded pipelines needs to consider the interaction of multiple uncertainty variables. By introducing interaction theory, a mathematical model of corrosion defects considering the interaction of variables is put forward. Moreover, this paper develops a non-probabilistic time-varying reliability method for pipeline systems with multiple defects. Thus, several numerical examples are investigated to discuss the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results show that a two-dimensional or even three-dimensional ellipsoid model with correlation has more accurate results to evaluate corroded pipelines under the interaction of multiple corroded defects with poor information. Furthermore, a non-probabilistic time-varying reliability model is established according to the time-varying characteristics of the corroded pipeline under the influence of multiple factors. An effective complement to the theory of non-probabilistic reliability analysis of system is investigated. The analysis of the results suggests that interaction of corroded pipeline has a negligible impact on reliability. It also provides a theoretical basis for maintenance and is of great significance for risk- and reliability-informed decisions regarding buried oil and gas pipelines.

Rational finite element models established by ABAQUS to analysis the mechanical properties of square steel tubular beam-column joints under low cyclic loading. The two beam-column joints are connected with bolts, one is with welding extended steel sheets at the beam root and the other has no welding extended steel sheets. The calculation and analysis results show that the new joint style using concrete filled steel tube structure both in beams and columns has advantage on the seismic performance. The load-displacement hysteresis curve of the beam end is plump without significant pinching and the joint specimens showed good ductility. The comparative analysis reveals that the joint with welding extended steel sheets at the beam root is more superior in the seismic performance respected to the joint without welding extended steel sheets.
