In the context of ultimate bearing capacity of steel lined reinforced concrete penstock (SLRCP) containing flaws, the use of the elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM) in conjunction with curve beam based internal force calculation is presented. The corrosion models for steel bar and lining are introduced from the literature. The SLRCP is considered bearing load together with lining and reinforced concrete, and its internal force is determined based on a simplified curve beam model. The element bearing ratio of SLRCP is given through the internal force and sectional strength, and is employed by the EMRM. The change of ultimate bearing capacity of some typical SLRCP within their operating life is then evaluated.

Limit bearing capacity analysis of structure system with different types of element (SSDE) is difficult to elastic modulus adjustment procedures. In this paper, elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM) is introduced for evaluation of the limit bearing capacity of SSDE, using the element bearing ratio (EBR) as the governing parameter. As a dimensionless quantity, the EBR can be used to measure the bearing state of every element, and the scheme of reducing elastic modulus can be expressed using a uniform equation for different types of element. When the structure system destroys, all elements will tend to reach their own strength. The algorithm is then extended to the plastic limit analysis of SSDE. Numerical examples are employed to demonstrate the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the method.

Prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure, compared with other concrete structure has its unique advantages. So it is mainly used in large span and conversion layers. With the popularization of this structure,more attention should be payed on fire resistance performance. On the basis of reasonable assume,two steps model is used as concrete high strength calculation model. Simplified intensity decreased curve is used as rebar,steel and prestressed. Two ultimate bearing capacity formulas of prestressed steel reinforced concrete beam are established. One is for the beam whose tensile area is under fire, the other is for the beam whose compression area is under fire. Prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure has both prestressed concrete structure’s advantages and steel reinforced concrete structure ’s advantage. Steel reinforced concrete is used to improve the bearing capacity of the structure. Prestressed steel is used to improve the ultimate state of structure’s performance during normal use. Thereby structure’s performance is better to play. There are many similarities between prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure and steel reinforced concrete structure about fire resistance performance. Because of prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure’s own characteristics, there are still many problems about fire resistance. This paper mainly presented bending terminal bearing capacity of prestressed steel reinforced concrete beam under fire. Established simplified formulae for calculation, it is meet the engineering accuracy requirement.

The mechanical behavior and ultimate bearing capacity of the circular bar-reinforced concrete filled steel tube (BRCFST) short columns under axial compression are analyzed in this paper based on the unified strength theory. Considering the restriction effect of steel tube and hoop bar on concrete, the calculation formula of bearing capacity of the column is deduced. Parametric studies are carried out to evaluate the effects of intermediate principal stresses, diameter-thickness ratio of steel tube and the stirrup ratio on the bearing capacity of the column. A good agreement is reached by comparing the results calculated by the formula with the test results. It is concluded that the unified strength theory is applicable in the theoretical analyses of the BRCFST columns.

The current approach, which is based on conformal transformation, is to map micropile holes in comparison with unit circle domain. The stress field of soil around a pile plane, as well as the plane strain solution to displacement field distribution, can be obtained by adopting complex variable functions of elastic mechanics. This paper proposes an approach based on Winkler Foundation Beam Model, with the assumption that the soil around the micropiles stemmed from a series of independent springs. The rigidity coefficient of the springs is to be obtained from the planar solution. Based on the deflection curve differential equation of Euler-Bernoulli beams, one can derive the pile deformation and internal force calculation method of micropile composite structures under horizontal load. In the end, we propose reinforcing highway landslides with micropile composite structure and conducting on-site pile pushing tests. The obtained results from the experiment were then compared with the theoretical approach. It has been indicated through validation analysis that the results obtained from the established theoretical approach display a reasonable degree of accuracy and reliability.
