Compression Member

The buckling of compression members may lead to the progressive collapse of spatial structures. Based on the sleeved compression member, the buckling monitoring member is introduced to control the buckling of compression member and raise buckling alert by sensing contact between the core tube and the restraining tube. Considering the rigid connection among the members in spatial structures, the buckling monitoring member with rigid ends needs to be further analyzed. An experimental test was conducted and finite element analyses were performed with calibrated finite element models. The results indicated that the ultimate bearing capacity and post-ultimate bearing capacity of the core tube were enhanced due to the restraint from the restraining tube. The contact was successfully sensed by pressure sensor, revealing that it sensed the buckling of the core tube. Parametric studies were conducted, indicating that the core protrusion, core slenderness ratio, the gap between the core tube and restraining tube, and the flexural rigidity ratio are the key parameters affecting the bearing capacity and the failure modes of the buckling monitoring member, and some key values of parameters were proposed to obtain good bearing capacity. Based on the parametric studies, the failure modes of buckling-monitoring members are summarized as global buckling and local buckling. The stress distribution and deformation mode of buckling monitoring members are presented in the non-contact, point-contact, line-contact, reverse-contact and ultimate bearing state. The buckling monitoring member is applied in a reticulated shell by substituting the buckling members. It can effectively improve the ultimate bearing capacity of reticulated shell.

Mechanical Behaviours

<p>The monitoring sleeved members (MSMs) are considered with light weight, excellent load-bearing capacity, superior ductility, and can be applied in long span spatial structure to monitor the capacity of the spatial structure. This paper mainly focuses on presenting the mechanical behaviours of the MSMs based on the full-range finite element analysis. The finite element model was developed to simulate the mechanical behaviors of the MSMs, which was verified by a specimen test. Based on the verified finite element model, parametric studies were carried out to investigate the influence of the core protrusion lp, the core slenderness ratio λi, the flexural rigidity ratio β, and the gap δg between core tube and restraining tube on the mechanical behaviours of the MSMs. It is concluded that (1) lp determines the control range of the restraining tube to the core tube. Local buckling of the MSMs with lp/l≤0.0406 occurs at a relatively small axial deformation. The ultimate bearing capacity of the MSMs with lp/l≤0.0406 is generally less than that of the MSM with lp/l&gt;0.0406; (2) λi is a sensitive parameter influencing the failure mode. The smaller the core slenderness ratio λi, the less likely global buckling will occur; (3) β guarantees the control effect of the restraining tube on the core tube. β≥8.349 is needed to avoid global buckling; (4) a proper δg determining the alert moment for contact is indispensable to monitor contact status of MSMs, but it has no effect on the failure mode.</p>

As Chinese architecture masterpiece, ancient Hui-style architecture is the admiration for Chinese and foreign master builders. According to the bending test, the theoretical calculations and Abaqus finite element analysis on 5 Hui-style architecture beams, this paper points out the differences between un-reinforced beams and reinforced beams on ultimate bearing capacity, deflection and other performance indicators. The reinforcement methods of embedding steel bars, embedding CFRP bars and pasting CFRP plate can respectively improve the ultimate bearing capacity by 20.2%, 32.6% and 37.0%. Based on the plane section assumption and considering thereduction of tensile strength causedby wood knots and defects in tension zone, this paper predicts failure modes of the test beams may occur, and gives the ultimate bearing capacity of different failure modes. In addition, this paper uses the Abaqus finite element software for simulating test beams, and the development trend of load-deflectioncurve between the test and numerical simulation are in good agreement, providing reference for further research of Hui-style architecture.

Limit Equilibrium State

Suction foundations are widely used in deep sea and their ultimate bearing capacity which is closely related with failure modes of suction anchor at limit equilibrium state is a key technology in offshore engineering practice. Based on Coulomb friction theory, an exact finite element model is presented in this paper. On the basis of this FEM model, by use of the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the effect of mooring point and aspect ratio of a suction anchor on the ultimate bearing capacity and its stability are researched in detail. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity and stability of the suction anchor are affected vastly by the position of mooring point, and the variation of mooring point on the suction anchor can lead to different failure modes. Simultaneously, the results also shows that tilted rotation of the soil along the direction of the mooring force will occur when the mooring point is near the top of the suction anchor, and the soil near the bottom of the fixed anchor rotates around the center of a circle, so the failure mode is called forward-tilted rotation in this paper; A general translation slip of the soil in front of the anchor along the direction of the mooring force will occur when mooring point is below midpoint of suction anchor, so the failure mode is called the translation slip failure mode in this paper. Anticlockwise tilted rotation of the soil along the direction of mooting force will occur when the mooring point is near the bottom of the anchor, and the soil at the top of the anchor rotates around the center of a circle, so the failure mode is called backward-tilted rotation in this paper.

Parametric Studies

In this study, detailed finite element analysis was conducted to examine the seismic performance of square and circular hollow steel braces under axial cyclic loading. Finite element models of braces were constructed using ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software and validated with experimental results from previous papers to expand the specimen’s matrix. The influences of cross-section shape, slenderness ratio, and width/diameter-to-thickness ratio on hysteretic behavior and compressive-tensile strength degradation were studied. Simulation results of parametric studies show that both square and circular hollow braces have a better cyclic performance with smaller slenderness and width/diameter-to-thickness ratios, and their compressive-tensile resistances ratio significantly decreases from cycle to cycle after the occurrence of the global buckling of braces.

Normal Strength

The improvement of the load carrying capacity of concrete columns under a triaxial compressive stress results from the strain restriction. Under a triaxial stress state, the capacity of the deformation of concrete is greatly decreased with the increase of the side compression. Therefore, confining the deformation in the lateral orientation is an effective way to improve the strength and ductility of concrete columns. This paper carried out an experimental investigation on axially loaded normal strength concrete columns confined by 10 different types of materials, including steel tube, glass fiber confined steel tube (GFRP), PVC tube, carbon fiber confined PVC tube (CFRP), glass fiber confined PVC tube (GFRP), CFRP, GFRP, polyethylene (PE), PE hybrid CFRP and PE hybrid GFRP. The deformation, macroscopical deformation characters, failure mechanism and failure modes are studied in this paper. The ultimate bearing capacity of these 10 types of confined concrete columns and the influences of the confining materials on the ultimate bearing capacity are obtained. The advantages and disadvantages of these 10 types of confining methods are compared.

Experimental Values

The mechanical properties of T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (TCFST) short columns under axial compression after elevated temperature are investigated in this paper. A total of 30 TCFST short columns with different temperature (T), steel ratio (α), and duration of heating (t) were tested. The TCFST column was directly fabricated by welding two rectangular steel tubes together. The study mainly investigated the failure modes, the ultimate bearing capacity, the load-displacement, and the load-strain performance of the TCFST short columns. Experimental results indicate that the rectangular steel tubes of the TCFST column have deformation consistency, and the failure mode consists of local crack, drum damage, and shear failure. Additionally, the influence of high temperature on the residual bearing capacity of the TCFST is significant, e.g., a higher temperature can downgrade the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, a finite element model (FEM) is developed to simulate the performance of the TCFST short columns under elevated temperature, and the results agree with experimental values well. Overall, this investigation can provide some guidance for future studies on damage assessment and reinforcement of the TCFST columns.

At present, the relevant researches of Glulam columns in China are mainly restricted to short columns. In order to study the mechanical properties of long columns under axial loading, an experimental study on five different slenderness ratios of Larch Glulam columns was carried out. With slenderness ratio changing, the variations of experimental data such as axial strain, lateral deflection at mid-height, ultimate bearing capacity, and peak strain were comparatively analyzed. The failure pattern and failure mechanism of long columns were discussed. The results indicate that the ultimate bearing capacity of Larch Glulam columns gradually decreases as the slenderness radio increases and the failure mode is gradually converted from strength failure to instability failure. The ultimate load reduction factor is obtained by regression analysis based on the experiment results of Larch Glulam short columns. The basis for design and application of Larch Glulam columns are provided.
