In order to study the pressure carrying capacity of X80 pipe with metal loss defect on the girth weld the water-pressure blasting test of the pipe with metal loss defect was analyzed by experiment and finite element simulation. Based on this, the sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the pressure carrying of the pipeline, such as the circular size, the axial size, and the depth of the metal loss defect, was carried out. The research results show that the circular size of the metal loss defect on the girth weld had little impact to the pressure carrying capacity of the pipe while it reduced with the increasing of the axial size and the depth of the metal loss defect.

In order to study the pressure carrying capacity of X80 pipe with plain dents, the formation process and the hydraulic test were analyzed by finite element simulation. Based on this, the sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the pressure carrying capacity of the pipeline, such as the internal pressure, the confinement state and the material performance, is carried out. Research results show that springback amount of the pipeline decreases due to the initial internal pressure, and constraint state has little effect on the pressure carrying capacity while increases with the increasing of the material tensile properties. When the depth of the dent is less than 6% pipe diameter or the strain of the dent is less than 6%, the dent has little impact to the pressure carrying capacity of the pipe.

The random load carrying capacity of steel plane frames with bracing stiffness is studied. The load carrying capacity is evaluated using the geometrically non-linear FEM analysis. The incremental stiffness matrix of a slightly curved element utilized in the non-linear incremental analysis is listed. Initial imperfections are considered as random variables. Statistical analysis and Sobol sensitivity analysis are performed using the Latin Hypercube Sampling method. The effect of initial random imperfections on the load carrying capacity is studied, whilst assuming constant slenderness of the columns. The evaluation parameters are the pair of non-random values of elastic bracing stiffness, and system length of the columns. The paper illustrates that the load carrying capacity is very sensitive to initial crookedness of the columns in the event that the non-sway (symmetric) and sway (anti-symmetric) buckling modes coincide. In this case, the design load carrying capacity obtained from statistical analysis according to the EN 1990 (2002) standard is relatively very small (of low safety). Results show that the reliability of design of a steel frame according to EUROCODE 3 (1993) is significantly misaligned. The significance of the first and the second buckling forces as indicators of sensitivity of the load carrying capacity to the imperfections is discussed. Santrauka Tiriama plieninio plokščio rėmo su standžiaisiais ryšiais laikomoji galia. Ji vertinama atliekant geometriškai netiesinę BEM analizę. Aptariama šiek tiek išlinkusio elemento laipsniškai didėjanti standumo matrica, atliekant netiesinį iteracinį skaičiavimą. Atsitiktiniu dydžiu laikomas pradinis defektas. Statistinė ir Sobolio (Sobol) jautrumo analizė atliekama pritaikant LHS metodą (Latin Hypercube Sampling Method). Nagrinėjamas pradinio atsitiktinio defekto poveikis laikomajai galiai darant prielaidą, kad pastovus dydis yra liauna kolona. Vertinimo kriterijus yra ne atsitiktinių didžių pora, t. y. tampriai standus ryšiai ir konstrukcijos kolonų aukštis. Straipsnyje aptariama kolonos pradinio kreivio įtaka laikomajai galiai, atsižvelgiant į klupumo formas, kai nelinksta (simetrinė apkrova) ir linksta (nesimetrinė apkrova). Laikomosios galios projektavimo apkrovos, šiuo atveju gautos iš statistinės analizės pagal EN 1990 (2002) standartą, yra palyginti nedidelės. Gauti rezultatai rodo, kad plieninio rėmo patikimumas pagal Eurocode 3 (1993) labai nesutampa. Nagrinėjama defektų įtaka laikomajai galiai atsižvelgiant į pirmą ir antrą klupimo jėgą.
