An aqueduct of larger-span prestressed concrete arch structure for river diversion project is located in coastal areas, and raises difficult questions on deformation and stability control of the construction process due to greater wind load and poor soil. Due to the limited width of bracket erection, this paper put forward five possible construction schemes, and does the comparative analysis using three-dimensional finite element program, and gets the economic and reasonable one. Finally conduct a pressure test after the bracket erection, and verify the analysis results using measured stress and deformation data.

There is an increasing usefulness of exact three-dimensional analyses of elastic cylinders and cylindrical shells in composite materials applications. Such analyses are considered as benchmarks for the range of applicability of corresponding studies based on two-dimensional and/or finite element modeling. Moreover, they provide valuable, accurate information in cases that corresponding predictions based on that later kind of approximate modeling is not satisfactory. Due to the complicated form of the governing equations of elasticity, such three-dimensional analyses are comparatively rare in the literature. There is therefore a need for further developments in that area. A survey of the literature dealing with three-dimensional dynamic analyses of cylinders and open cylindrical panels will serve towards such developments. This paper presents such a survey within the framework of linear elasticity.

A specialized shell-intersection finite element, which is compatible with adjoining shell elements, has been developed and has the capability of physically representing the complex three-dimensional geometry and stress state at shell intersections (Koves, 1993). The element geometry is a contoured shape that matches a wide variety of practical nozzle configurations used in ASME Code pressure vessel construction, and allows computational rigor. A closed-form theory of elasticity solution was used to compute the stress state and strain energy in the element. The concept of an energy-equivalent nodal displacement and force vector set was then developed to allow complete compatibility with adjoining shell elements and retain the analytical rigor within the element. This methodology provides a powerful and robust computation scheme that maintains the computational efficiency of shell element solutions. The shell-intersection element was then applied to the cylinder-sphere and cylinder-cylinder intersection problems.

Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of selected parameters of the geometric constraints for cracked plates subjected to tension. The results of three-dimensional numerical calculations were used to assess the distribution of these parameters around the crack front and their changes along the crack front. The study also involved considering the influence of the external load on the averaged values of the parameters of the geometric constraints as well as the relationship between the material constants and the level of the geometric constraints contributing to the actual fracture toughness for certain geometries.
