Ships and offshore structures are often exposed to various types of repeated impact loads, such as wave slamming, floating ice impacts and ship collisions which will cause large deformation or even fracture. With imperfections due to the process of construction or damage caused by accidents, the load carrying capacity of structures will decrease. This paper investigates the load carrying capacity of aluminum alloy plate with an initial crack under repeated impact loads by means of experiments and numerical simulations. In the experiments, the prepared specimens with crack and without crack are impacted repeatedly up to plate perforation by releasing a hemispherical-headed cylindrical hammer. Numerical simulations are carried out with ABAQUS/Explicit software. The numerical models are built according to the actual experimental conditions. Comparison of the numerical predictions with the experimental results shows reasonable agreement. It is found that aluminum alloy plates under repeated impacts are sensitive to initial cracks. The fracture mode and plastic deformation of aluminum alloy plates can also be affected.

This paper aims to develop a numerical model to predict the in-plane load-deflection behavior and the maximum load carrying capacity of concrete-filled circular FRP arch tube (CFFAT) which to date has rarely been investigated. The present model employs the well known fiber element approach to consider the material behavior of concrete core and external FRP tube. The composite arch was idealized as an assembly of stepwise two dimensional (2D) straight prismatic beam-column elements. The established FE model was then implemented into Opensees software framework to obtain the load-deflection characteristics up to the limit strength state of CFFAT under monotonic loading. Comparisons between the present numerical predictions and experimental results reported elsewhere were made concerning the load carrying capacity as well as the ultimate failure modes. The proposed analytical model was shown to provide, with sufficient accuracy for practical use, the estimates of nonlinear static behaviour of CFFAT.

Abstract. Concrete is the predominant material in the construction industry. To be sustainable, the old Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings should be retrofitted, and the life of the building should be extended. Experimental study has been attempted to investigate the load carrying capacity of concrete beam strengthened with glass fiber and banana fiber mat. The primary aim of this study is to retrofit the RC beam specimen to enhance the load carrying capacity. All the beams were casted with the same grade of concrete (M30) and same structural detailing. Two-point symmetrical loading were given to the control beams to obtain load at initial crack and ultimate load. Then the beams other than control beams were loaded till it showes initial crack and then retrofitted with banana fiber and glass fiber bonded externally with resin. The retrofitted beams were tested for ultimate load performance. Load carrying capacity was higher for both retrofitting but the beam retrofitter with glass fiber showed significant improvement in the ultimate load carrying capacity.

This paper presents results from a programme of centrifuge experiments which examined the effects of drained preloading on the stiffness and load carrying capacity of shallow square footings founded on an overconsolidated clay. The increases in stiffness and bearing capacity induced by various levels of preloading are quantified and compared with standard design guidelines and previously published numerical predictions.

Hot Rolled Steel

Authors of article analysed influence of variability of yield strength over cross-section of hot rolled steel member to its load-carrying capacity. In calculation models, the yield strength is usually taken as constant. But yield strength of a steel hot-rolled beam is generally a random quantity. Not only the whole beam but also its parts have slightly different material characteristics. According to the results of more accurate measurements, the statistical characteristics of the material taken from various cross-section points (e.g. from a web and a flange) are, however, more or less different. This variation is described by one dimensional random field. The load-carrying capacity of the beam IPE300 under bending moment at its ends with the lateral buckling influence included is analysed, nondimensional slenderness according to EC3 is λ¯ = 0.6. For this relatively low slender beam the influence of the yield strength on the load-carrying capacity is large. Also the influence of all the other imperfections as accurately as possible, the load-carrying capacity was determined by geometrically and materially nonlinear solution of very accurate FEM model by the ANSYS programme.

The load-carrying capacity of the member with imperfections under axial compression is analysed in the present paper. The study is divided into two parts: (i) in the first one, the input parameters are considered to be random numbers (with distribution of probability functions obtained from experimental results and/or tolerance standard), while (ii) in the other one, the input parameters are considered to be fuzzy numbers (with membership functions). The load-carrying capacity was calculated by geometrical nonlinear solution of a beam by means of the finite element method. In the case (ii), the membership function was determined by applying the fuzzy sets, whereas in the case (i), the distribution probability function of load-carrying capacity was determined. For (i) stochastic solution, the numerical simulation Monte Carlo method was applied, whereas for (ii) fuzzy solution, the method of the so-called α cuts was applied. The design load-carrying capacity was determined according to the EC3 and EN1990 standards. The results of the fuzzy, stochastic and deterministic analyses are compared in the concluding part of the paper.

Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify pavement damage due to a conventional (385/65R22.5) and a new generation of wide-base (445/50R22.5) tires using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. The investigated new generation of wide-base tires has wider treads and greater load-carrying capacity than the conventional wide-base tire. In addition, the contact patch is less sensitive to loading and is especially designed to operate at 690kPa inflation pressure at 121km/hr speed for full load of 151kN tandem axle. The developed FE models simulated the tread sizes and applicable contact pressure for each tread and utilized laboratory-measured pavement material properties. In addition, the models were calibrated and properly validated using field-measured stresses and strains. Comparison was established between the two wide-base tire types and the dual-tire assembly. Results indicated that the 445/50R22.5 wide-base tire would cause more fatigue damage, approximately the same rutting damage and less surface-initiated top-down cracking than the conventional dual-tire assembly. On the other hand, the conventional 385/65R22.5 wide-base tire, which was introduced more than two decades ago, caused the most damage.
