Parallel strand lumber (PSL) is an attractive structural wood composite which may have prospective use in building constructions. Conducting nonlinear analysis for the bending of PSL beams is a critical step in the determination of ultimate strength and deflection of them, which is an essential requirement of the building design philosophy based on probability of ultimate state. For the purposes of this article, an inelastic theoretical model regarding the load-carrying capacity of the PSL bending component has been developed. Based on the uniaxial loading tests, the stress-strain behaviors of PSL composite in the grain direction were measured. 4-point bending experiments were also performed in this study to investigate the failure mechanism of the PSL components. The results show that the tensile stress-strain relationship of PSL materials in the grain direction remains linear until breaking, while the compressive stress-strain relationship exhibits nonlinear characteristics once the compressive stress exceeds the proportional limit, which can be expressed by a quadratic polynomial. The failure mode of the PSL beam can be summarized that the fibres in the top of the broken section were buckling and those in the bottom of the section were broken when failure occurred. Significant nonlinear behavior was exhibited based on the load-deflection curves of the PSL beams. To predict the nonlinear bending performance of the PSL beams, a theoretical model that could consider the nonlinear stress-strain relations of PSL and predict the damage modes of the PSL beams was developed. Well agreements can be observed between the results of calculations and experiments.

Axial Compression Experiment

This paper deals with the behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites retrofitted RCC piles subjected to axial compression loads. Currently the awareness of using FRP increases rapidly in engineering fields and also among public. Retrofitting becomes vital for aged and damaged concrete structures, piles, and so forth, to improve its load carrying capacity and to extend the service life. The load carrying capacity of piles retrofitted with basalt unidirectional fabric was studied experimentally. 15 nos. of RCC end bearing pile elements were cast with same reinforcement for axial compression experiment. Three piles were used as conventional elements, another 3 piles were used as double BFRP wrapped pile elements, and remaining 9 piles were used as retrofitted piles with BFRP double wrapping after preloaded to 30%, 60%, and 90% of ultimate load of conventional element. The effects of retrofitting of RCC pile elements were observed and a mathematical prediction was developed for calculation of retrofitting strength. The stress vs. strain relationship curve, load vs. deformation curve, preloaded elements strength losses are tabulated and plotted. Besides, crack patterns of conventional elements and tearing BFRP wrapped elements were also observed. The BFRP wrapped elements and retrofitted elements withstand more axial compressive load than the conventional elements.

Slewing Bearings

This paper presents a theoretical model to calculate the general static load-carrying capacity of four-contact-point slewing bearings under axial, radial and tilting-moment loads, compared with preliminary results obtained from a detailed parametric finite element model of the bearing. The theoretical model is based on a generalization of Sjova¨ll and Rumbarger’s equations and provides an acceptance surface in the load space. The finite element model is based on the modelization of the balls via nonlinear traction-only equivalent spring concept. The aim is to validate the theoretical model to be used as an acceptance curve generator for slewing bearing design.

Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity

In the present study, the stress-stain behaviour of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (FRSCC) were taken up. The stress-strain behaviour was studied for the SCC and FRSCC mixes in unconfined and confined states. The confinement was given in the form of steel hoops in the cylinders, 3 hoops (0.8%), 4 hoops (1.1%), 5 hoops (1.3%) and 6 hoops (1.6%). The addition of fibres along with confinement of FRSCC with steel hoops enhanced the compressive strength, indicating further confinement effect in the FRSCC. It is observed that the addition of fibres is helpful in lower confinements only. Beyond 1.1% confinement, the addition of any type of fibres doesn’t show any effect on compressive strengths. From the stress-strain behaviour of all types of FRSCC, it is concluded that the ultimate load-carrying capacity and strains at peak stresses are more in SFRSCC and HFRSCC for mixes up to 1.1% confinement. The addition of fibres to SCC has increased the ductility in both confined and unconfined states

A Theoretical model was developed to study the potential use of surface texturing for reducing the friction between a piston ring and cylinder liner. The model can predict the load-carrying capacity and friction force of the piston compression ring from Reynolds equation. The investigation is carried out using different dimple depths as well as different dimple diameters. Micro-dimples on the piston ring were able to generate significant hydrodynamic support. Numerical results show that surface texturing can decrease the friction force and extend the load-carrying capacity. The optimum surface texturing parameters such as dimples depth and dimples diameter were found.

Rectangular Columns

This study aimed to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete rectangular columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer composites and subjected to small eccentric loading. Seven design-oriented models of fiber-reinforced polymer-confined concrete were implemented in OpenSees software to establish the theoretical axial force-moment interaction diagram for rectangular columns. The examined models were categorized into two types: stress–strain models developed for fiber-reinforced polymer-confined non-circular concrete tested under the effect of concentric loading and others designed for fiber-reinforced polymer-confined non-circular concrete subjected to eccentric loading. The accuracy of these models was examined against the experimental results of eccentrically loaded fiber-reinforced polymer-confined reinforced concrete rectangular columns. Results indicated that the local stress–strain law obtained from the concentric compression tests would not reflect very well the local behavior of the compression zone of fiber-reinforced polymer-reinforced concrete members subjected to the combined effect of flexural and axial loadings. Adoption of a rational approach reflecting the impacts of eccentric loadings on the stress–strain relationship of the fiber-reinforced polymer-confined concrete revealed a much better evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of both reinforced concrete rectangular columns and plain concrete square columns under the effect of axial loads with various eccentricities.

In the article on an example of the tractor-trailer, a load-carrying capacity of 4 tons considers the technique for calculating the stress-strain state of the trailer frame. The comparative analysis of the results of theoretical and experimental researches is given. The calculations take into account the specific road conditions of the cotton-producing countries, which occupy four categories of road sections. The proposed method of calculation of the stress-strain state of the frame gives a good agreement with the experimental data (maximum values of stress in the range 11%) and can be used in justifying the strength parameters of tractor-trailers.
