The bending moments imposed on welded plate anchors that are part of embedded pipe wall penetrations are often overestimated in the structural evaluations of these penetrations. For this type of restraint, the pipe is embedded in a concrete wall penetration with a welded plate mounted on the surface of the wall. This penetration is typically modeled with a single 6 degree of freedom (DOF) restraint at the plate in the pipe stress analysis. This approach can lead to overestimated loads on the welded plate and the mounting anchor bolts because no credit is taken for reaction on the embedded portion of the pipe. A significant portion of the bending moments from piping on both sides of the penetration is transferred directly to the concrete wall by the normal reaction on a fully grouted pipe, thus reducing loads on the steel plate and the mounting anchored bolts. The objective of this study is to determine load factors for bending moments from both sides of the pipe penetration on the anchored steel plate. A parametric study is performed using ANSYS models of a pipe fully embedded in a concrete wall penetration with a welded plate mounted on one side of the wall by anchor bolts. Various pipe diameters, concrete wall thicknesses and plate thicknesses are considered. For each model, the loading on the plate is compared to the loading applied at the free end of the pipe. Load factors are developed for use in the structural evaluation of the welded plate and the mounting anchor bolts. The maximum compressive bearing pressure at the concrete wall is also calculated for use in the structural evaluation of these types of pipe supports.

Steel plate reinforcements (SPR) embedded into the concrete core of a concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column is a promising strengthening scheme. However, further study is required to understand the influence SPR on the strength and behaviour of a CFST column. Numerical models of the CFST columns are developed using finite element analysis. The models are verified with experimental results from past research. The models are in good agreement with the experimental study. Then, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the strength and behaviour of CFST columns embedded with various configuration of SPR. In which, the embedded SPR varies in quantity, thickness and height. The parametric study indicates that these factors have positive influence on the performance of the CFST columns. The performance of the columns is measured in terms of strength, stiffness and ductility. Results have shown that the performance of the columns increases with every increment of the quantity, thickness and height of SPR.

This paper presents a method that using inner transverse prestressing bars to enhance the shear capacity of concrete beams, which can be used in new transformer beams to decrease the sectional dimensions. Four transversely prestressed concrete beams and one ordinary reinforced concrete beam were tested. The nonlinear finite element method was applied to analyze them, parametric study was carried out to analyze the behavior of transversely prestressed concrete beam, and the following conclusions can be drawn: (a) With the increase of the prestressing force level, the shear capacity of transversely prestressed concrete beam increase rapidly, which means that prestressing force level has a significant effect to the shear capacity of transversely prestressed concrete beam. (b) If the area of transversely prestressing bars is almost same, the transverse bars with smaller diameter and smaller spacing can enhance shear capacity of transversely prestressed concrete beam more efficiently. (c) If steel plate of 100 mm×350 mm×16 mm being changed to steel padding of 100mm×100mm×16 mm the shear capacity of transversely prestressed concrete beam will decrease little. It means in the actual engineering the steel plate can be changed to steel padding, and then the amount of steel will be reduced.
