Friction Resistance

Prefabrication of composites beam reduces the construction time and makes them easily to be assembled, deconstructed, and partially repaired. The use of high-strength frictional bolt shear connectors can greatly enhance the sustainability of infrastructure. However, researches about the concrete-steel friction behavior are very limited. To provide a contribution to this area, 21 tests were conducted to measure the friction coefficient and slip stiffness with different concrete strength, steel strength, and surface treatment of steel. An effective finite element model was developed to investigate the ultimate bearing capacity and load-slip characteristics of bolt shear connection. The accuracy of the proposed finite element model is validated by the tests in this paper. The results demonstrate a positive correlation between concrete strength and friction coefficient and better performance of shot-blasted steel. It is also proved that high-strength frictional bolt has a 30% lower bearing capacity but better strength reserve and antiuplifting than the headed stud.

The Finite Element Model

Because of their importance for the integrity of heat exchangers, the strength of tube-to-tubesheet joints, and particularly their axial strength, is of special interest. A finite element model of an expanded tube-to-tubesheet joint is proposed and examined experimentally with the objective of determining numerically its axial strength. Simplified analytical methods that were previously proposed by many authors to predict the joint axial strength are also used in this investigation. Experimental testing shows that the finite element model is highly accurate for calculating the joint axial strength. The experimental investigation also proves that the pull-out strength is overestimated when calculated using a simple analytical solution. A parametric analysis using the finite element results indicates that the pull-out force is normally lower than the push-out load and that both are lower than the estimations of the analytical solution. The results indicate that the pull-out force as given by the finite element model is generally 35 percent lower than that evaluated by the analytical solution. A difference of as much as 10 percent is also found between the push-out and pull-out loads.

There are some disadvantages in the concrete pouring method of column beam joints of super high-rise structures. If the concrete of joint core use the same strength grade with beams and plates, and pouring with them together, the construction process will be simplified and the construction quality will be easier to ensure. But the concrete strength of joint core is reduced, so whether the resistant behavior of the structure can be able to meet the design requirements is the key problem we focus on. The finite element model of a super high-rise structure was established by MIDAS software, the holistic resistant behavior of the structure was analyzed to study the effect of joint core concrete strength on the whole structure. The study provides the basis for further exploring a more reasonable pouring method of the concrete of the joints.

Reinforcement and concrete can work together to bear load in reinforced concrete structures, one of the main reasons is the relatively prefect bond between reinforcement and concrete. When steel reinforcement corrodes, the bond strength decreases and leads to the degradation of the reinforced concrete members. This paper built a finite element model by selecting appropriate stress-strain relationship of concrete and reinforcement, bond-slip relationship between concrete and corroded steel bars. The flexural behavior of corroded reinforced concrete lock-walls was analyzed by nonlinear finite element method. The calculated results were compared with the test results to verify the reliability of the finite element model. Finally, the influence of corrosion level of steel reinforcement and concrete strength on the normal section bearing capacity of lock-walls were discussed.

Abstract The short- and long-term success of tibial cementless implants depends on the initial fixation stability provided primarily by posts and screws. Excessive relative motions at the bone-implant interface are known to inhibit bone ingrowth and, hence, biologic fixation. In this work, the performance of a number of fixation configurations under static and fatigue combined loads (i.e., compression plus shear) is investigated both experimentally and numerically. These results will permit both to compare different fixation types and to serve to validate a 3D finite element model that incorporates the measured nonlinear bone-implant friction and posts/screws pull-out tests. Once validated, the finite element model is also used to study the effect of different bone-implant friction models for porous coated posts and plate and of loading order of application on predictions.

Concrete compressive strength is an important parameter of material properties for assessing seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, which has a certain level of uncertainty due to its inherent variability. In this paper, the method of concrete strength validation of finite element model using smart aggregate (SA)-based stress monitoring is proposed. The FE model was established using Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSEES) platform. The concrete strengths obtained from the material test, peak stress of SA, and estimated concrete strength based on SA stress were employed in FE models. The lateral displacement monitored by Liner variable differential transformer and vertical axial load monitored by load cell in the experiment are applied in the model. By comparing the global response (i.e., lateral reaction force and hysteretic loop), local response (i.e., concrete stress, rebar strain, and cross-section moment) and corresponding root-mean-square error obtained from experiment and numerical analysis, the capabilities of validation of FE model using SA-based stress monitoring method were demonstrated.
