The mechanics performance of reinforced concrete members subjected to axial compression, bending, shear and torque is very complex. Several calculation models have been established to estimate the torsional capacity of combined torsion members; however, the calculation results of different models have a great variation. In this paper, variable-angle space truss model is adopted to analyze the mechanics performance of reinforced concrete members subjected to combined torsion. With respect to various shapes of specimens, various load modes, and various strength of concrete, a unity equation about torsional capacity of combined torsional member is obtained. Based on the unity equation, the torsional capacity of 59 combined torsional specimens is calculated. In contrast with the equation of ACI and the code of China, the torsional capacity calculated by the unity equation agrees well with the results of experiment and much better than the results of ACI code and China code. It is concluded that the unity equation can provide valuable reference for calculation and design of combined torsion members.

By the software SAP2000, this article established a 60 m span steel arch three concentric circle space truss model, derived modal characteristics, mastered the dynamic characteristics. By using isolation bearing, viscous dampers[1], shock absorption technology and integrated rear arch truss damping effect. Conclusions show that integrated damping technology, making the earthquake forces effectively reduced.


Structural beams in construction are subjected to significant torsional moment which affects the design of structures.Eight beams were produced with two distinct grade of concrete with two ratios of longitudinal as well as transverse reinforcements.An experiment for evaluation of torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams is presented in this paper.The main objective of this study is to access the role of varying percentage of transverse and longitudinal reinforcements on torsional strength of beams.Concrete grades of M 20 and M 30 beams were cast with 0.56% and 0.85% of longitudinal reinforcement as well as 50 mm and 75 mm spacing of stirrups.The experimental results are presented.The reported results include the behavioural curves and the values of torsional moment and angle of twist for entire 8 beams

In order to improve the damage feature extraction effect of prefabricated residential building components and improve the structural stability of prefabricated residential components, this paper applies BIM technology to the structural feature analysis of prefabricated residential components. Moreover, this paper adopts the simple superposition method and combines the first strength theory of material mechanics to derive the formula for calculating the cracking torque of prefabricated residential building components under compound torsion. In addition, based on the variable-angle space truss model, this paper uses a simple superposition method to derive the calculation formula for the ultimate torque of composite torsion of fabricated residential building components and applies it to the BIM fabricated residential model. Finally, this paper constructs an intelligent BIM prefabricated residential building construction damage characteristic monitoring system. Through experimental research, it can be seen that the intelligent BIM prefabricated residential building construction damage feature monitoring system proposed in this paper can monitor the damage characteristics of prefabricated residential building construction and can predict the evolution of subsequent building features.

In recent studies, a new softened truss model called Generalized Softened Variable Angle Truss Model (GSVATM) has been proposed to compute the full torsional response of reinforced concrete (RC) rectangular solid beams under pure torsion. In this article, the GSVATM is extended to cover RC hollow beams under torsion. The modification of the calculation procedure, in order to account for the specific behavior of RC hollow beams for low loading levels, as well as the final solution procedure, is presented. The theoretical predictions from the extended GSVATM are compared with experimental results of RC hollow beams under torsion found in the literature. Good agreement is observed between the experimental and theoretical results, for both high and low loading levels.
