Toward estimating accurately the distortional response of box girders, in this article, distortion of steel box girders strengthened with intermediate solid diaphragms under eccentric loads is analyzed by employing the so-called initial parameter method. A new model of high-order statically indeterminate structure was established with three orthogonal redundant forces acting at the junction between the girder and diaphragms. Emphasis is put onto the interaction between the girder and diaphragms, where a hypothetical bi-moment B pi indicating all longitudinal redundant force components for diaphragm was proposed besides the moment Mpi for in-plane shear component. Simplified initial parameter method solutions for distortional angle and distortional warping stresses and displacements were derived based on the in-plane and out-of-plane compatibilities between the girder and diaphragms. Taking box girders with three and five intermediate diaphragms as an example, the proposed initial parameter method solutions have good agreement with the finite element analysis ones. Finally, distortional behavior under moving eccentric loads is investigated, resulting in a bowl-shaped curve for moment Mpi and an approximate trigonometric function for bi-moment Bpi. Results show that diaphragms have a stronger resistance on in-plane distortional shear for the loads in midspan than on ends. Plus, the thick diaphragm holds a stronger restraint on distortional warping deformations and stresses than the thin one.

An analytical investigation was carried out to assess the free vibration, buckling and deformation responses of simply-supported sandwich plates. The plates constructed with graphene-reinforced polymer composite (GRPC) face sheets and are subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings while being simply-supported or resting on different types of elastic foundation. The temperature-dependent material properties of the face sheets are estimated by employing the modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model. The governing differential equations of the system are established based on the refined shear deformation plate theory and solved analytically using the Navier method. The validation of the formulation is carried out through comparisons of the calculated natural frequencies, thermal buckling capacities and maximum deflections of the sandwich plates with those evaluated by the available solutions in the literature. Numerical case studies are considered to examine the influences of the core to face sheet thickness ratio, temperature variation, Winkler- and Pasternak-types foundation, as well as the volume fraction of graphene on the response of the plates. It will be explicitly demonstrated that the vibration, stability and deflection responses of the sandwich plates become significantly affected by the aforementioned parameters.

In this Paper, the analysis of simply supported laminated composite beam having uniformly distributed load is performed. The solutions obtained in the form of the displacements and stresses for different layered cross ply laminated composite simply supported beams subjected uniformly distributed to load. Different aspect ratio consider for different results in terms of displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. The shear stresses are calculated with the help of equilibrium equation and constitutive relationship. Using displacement field including trigonometric function of laminated composite beams are derived from virtual displacement principle. There are axial displacement, transverse displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. In addition, Euler-Bernoulli (ETB), First order shear deformation beam theory (FSDT), Higher order shear deformation beam theory (HSDT) and Hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory (HYSDT) solution have been made for comparison and better accuracy of solutions and results of static analyses of laminated composite beams for simply supported laminated composite beam.

Steel bottom plates are applied as replacements for the concrete bottom plates in order to reduce the dead weight of the composite box girders with corrugated steel webs and steel bottom plates (CSWSB). Due to the change in the material, the previous analytical calculation methods of vertical deflection of composite box girders with corrugated steel webs (CSWs) cannot be directly applied to the improved composite box girders. The shear lag warpage displacement function was derived based on the shear deformation laws of the upper flange and the bottom plates of the improved composite box girders. The equations for the calculation of the shear deformation and the additional deflection due to the shear lag of continuous and simply supported composite box girders with CSWSB under concentrated and uniformly distribution loads were derived by considering the double effects of the shear lag and the shear deformations of the top and the bottom plates with different elastic moduli. The analytical solutions of the vertical deflection of the improved composite box girders include the theory of the bending deflection of elementary beams, shear deformation of CSWs, and the additional deflection caused by the shear lag. Based on the theoretical derivation, an analytical solution method was established and the obtained vertical deflection analytical solutions were compared with the finite element method (FEM) calculation results and the experimental values. The analytical equations of vertical deflection under the two supporting conditions and the two load cases have verified the analyses and the comparisons. Further, the additional deflections due to the shear lag and the shear deformation are found to be less than 2% and 34% of the total deflection values, respectively. Moreover, under uniform distributed load conditions, the deflection value was found to be higher than that of the under concentrated load condition. It was also found that the ratio of the deflection caused by the shear lag or the shear deformation to the total deflection decreased gradually with the increase in the span width ratio. When the value of the span width ratio of a single box and single chamber composite box girder with CSWSB was equal to or greater than 8, the deflections caused by the shear lag and the shear deformation could be ignored.

In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.

Prestressed concrete (PC) girders with corrugated steel webs (CSWs) have received considerable attention in the past two decades due to their light self-weight and high prestressing efficiency. Most previous studies were focused on the static behavior of CSWs and simple beams with CSWs. The calculation of deflection is an important part in the static analysis of structures. However, very few studies have been conducted to investigate the deflection of full PC girders or bridges with CSWs and no simple formulas are available for estimating their deflection under static loads. In addition, experimental work on full-scale bridges or scale bridge models with CSWs is very limited. In this paper, a formula for calculating the deflection of PC box girders with CSWs is derived. The longitudinal displacement function of PC box girders with CSWs, which can consider the shear lag effect and shear deformation of CSWs, is first derived. Based on the longitudinal displacement function, the formula for predicting the deflection of PC box girders with CSWs is derived using the variational principle method. The accuracy of the derived formula is verified against experimental results from a scaled bridge model and the finite element analysis results. Parametric studies are also performed, and the influences of shear lag and shear deformation on the deflection of the box girder with CSWs are investigated by considering different width-to-span ratios and different girder heights. The present study provides an effective and efficient tool for determining the deflection of PC box girders with CSWs.

Taking South-to-North Water Diversion Bridge, a continuous composite box-girder bridge with corrugated steel webs, as the engineering background, the cantilever beam end’s deflection calculation formulae considering shear deformation were deduced by using energy method. Comparing with finite-element analysis (FEA) values and measured values, the formulae which considered both concentrated force and uniform load have enough accuracy. Results show that, shear deformation’s proportion is more obvious in overall deflection of such box-girders which have smaller span ratio, and it’s more than 30%. For continuous composite box-girder bridge with corrugated steel webs, contribution of shear deformation to overall deflection should not be ignored.

This article presents the free vibration analysis of simply supported plate FG porous using a high order shear deformation theory. In is work the material properties of the porous plate FG vary across the thickness. The proposed theory contains four unknowns unlike the other theories which contain five unknowns. This theory has a parabolic shear deformation distribution across the thickness. So it is useless to use the shear correction factors. The Hamilton's principle will be used herein to determine the equations of motion. Since, the plate are simply supported the Navier procedure will be retained. To show the precision of this model, several comparisons have been made between the present results and those of existing theories in the literature for non-porous plates. Effects of the exponent graded and porosity factors are investigated.
