The paper analyses a case study on the structural assessment of warehouse building partially damaged by fire caused by external source (fire of lorries close to the building). The authors focus on the site investigations and laboratory test results prior to assessing actual condition of the structural elements. Both strengthening concept and repair procedure of a steel column are addressed here. A short literature survey in the paper regards fire damages and its impact on the entire structural systems and its members.

Complex structural pattern and behavior of Large-span steel structure result in famous research of health monitoring technology of this kind structure all over the world. Health monitoring to key parts of large-span steel structures during the construction and service process grasp the stress situation, which can ensure the safety of structures. In this paper, health monitoring project of Jinan Olympic Sports Center is introduced and the basis of test points’ layout is elaborated in detail. The result shows that the system designed is running stable, which means it has certain application value to other health monitoring to major engineering.

The results of a case study of the internal forces caused by earthquake in two examples of cable-stayed bridges are presented. A comparison is made between the behaviour of a model in which the structure is idealized without the foundation system and a model in which both the structure and the supporting foundation are idealized. The effects of varying the soil conditions on the seismic response are assessed. Also, the effects of out-of-phase support movements, caused by the lapse of time required for the seismic waves to travel from one support to the other, are considered. It is concluded that the effects of these parameters are significant and should not be ignored in the seismic analysis of cable-stayed bridges. Key words: bridges, cable-stayed, dynamic, earthquake, internal forces, seismic, soil–structure interaction.

The construction process of the large span spatial steel structure was studied by finite element method and the time-varying mechanics. The construction process of complex spatial frame structure was divided into the installation and dismount supporting phase, and each stage was divided into 15 steps in which mainly simulated and analyzed the whole construction process by "life-death" element. The critical control points of each construction step were identified, the stress state, interval value and the maximum stress in the structure of each construction condition were conformed; rod deformation in construction process was analyzed in construction program. The result showed that the large span spatial steel structure construction scheme was numerical simulated and calculated by the method of finite element analysis and the mechanical state, deformation and safety of building structure were predicted accurately during construction.

The health monitoring and diagnosis of the major engineering structure is increasingly extensive attention from all the community. In particular, for the complex large-span steel roof unloading process, it is important especially. The unloading process will cause the change of structure stiffness include the internal force redistribution. The real-time and on-line monitoring have been applied to Xining stadium of the stress in the process of unloading for the purpose of structural health assessment in the paper, so as to achieve the purpose of the early warning of the problems which may arise in construction process. At the same time, through the comparison of the finite element software ANSYS analogue simulation and the value of the actual, it is obtained for the quality problem of steel structure in the process of unloading.
