Deformation equations of thin-walled open-profile members considering distortion and its application

In order to simplify the analysis of thin-walled open-profile bars, a method is presented in which the analysis is split into two parts, dominated by in-plane and out-plane loading effects respectively. This article focuses on the out-plane loading effects. Based on bending theory of thin plate with small deflection, each slab or strip is analyzed separately and the results are integrated into vectors, in which, the deformation shapes and equilibrium conditions are simplified appropriately, thus leading to the slabs' out-plane bending resistance system of thin-walled bars, which reflects the properties of the bar's distortion and torsion. By composing the slabs in-plane tension-bending resistance system and the slabs' out-plane bending resistance system, deformation equations of thin-walled open-profile bars considering distortion are deduced. In order to set up the finite bar element method, stiffness equation and equivalent nodal forces of internode loadings are deduced. Comparative analysis with finite shell element method indicates the high efficiency and accuracy of this method.

According to the features of stratification and obvious inhomogeneity in geological soil in Huaibei plain, BP neural network prediction method for stratification and bearing capacity calculation of multiple cross-bedded foundation was proposed. By comparing the results of drill sampling, static cone penetration tests and screw plate tests, plate loading tests, penetration resistance ps value was found as an evaluation index for stratification and bearing capacity prediction of cross-bedded foundation. Moreover, gradient descent algorithm and conjugate gradient algorithm BP neural network models were obtained, and the calculation results of the two algorithms were comparatively analyzed. The results show that penetration resistance value can be taken as an evaluation index for stratification and bearing capacity prediction of cross-bedded foundation in Huaibei plain. Gradient descent algorithm and conjugate gradient algorithm BP neural network models have good results for soil identification and bearing capacity determination, which can meet the accuracy requirements of actual engineering. However, the computational efficiency of gradient descent algorithm is significantly lower than that of conjugate gradient algorithm.

Verification and Improvement of the Effectiveness of Seismic Capacity Design Measures of Shear Wall

In order to investigate the effective seismic capacity design measures of shear wall and to realize expected failure modes under strong earthquake,the existing problems in current seismic capacity design measures are pointed out through theoretical analysis.The effectiveness of the measures of Chinese seismic design code is verified by fine finite element dynamic time-history analysis of examples.Improving measures are then put forward and are verified through example analysis.It is shown the bending ductile demand of bottom section of shear wall increases too much based on moment capacity design measures of Chinese seismic design code 2001 in the rigid foundation assumption under rare earthquake action,and its bearing capacity for vertical axis force loses;the shear capacity design measures of current seismic design code would lead to shear failure in the stores above the bottom ductility strengthening area.Some improved bending and shear seismic capacity design measures of shear wall are proposed and are verified to be effective.     

Factors Influencing Deformation of Underground Diaphragm Wall in Deep Excavation Based on Centrifugal Model Test

To know well the impact on the deformation of underground diaphragm wall caused by soil excavation, centrifugal model tests reflecting Shanghai soft soil creep effects were designed, and finite element was used to calculate the deformation of underground diaphragm wall caused by different excavation timeline, sequence and width based on the top down construction method in the deep and large foundation pit of Shanghai Expo axis underground complex project. Centrifuge model tests and monitoring data indicate that the results of numerical calculation are approximately close to the horizontal displacement of the underground diaphragm wall measured in site, which reflects the deformation behavior of excavation. The results show that remained berm and middle plate have good control over the deformation of underground diaphragm wall. Most part of underground diaphragm wall deformation caused by soil creep occurs after the remained berm is excavated. So in order to decrease the deformation of underground diaphragm wall, it would be useful to conduct plate structures as soon as the remained berm is excavated. The excavation width of remained berm in the north part is less than that in the south part. It will be advisable to finally excavate the remained berm where there are protected objects nearby.     

Simplified numerical modeling and simulation of compositelaminated plates by the variational asymptotic method

This paper develops a simplified model for composite laminated plates by the variational asymptotic method (VAM) in order to efficiently analyze the nonlinear, one-way couples problem. It deduced the 3D energy expressions based on the decomposition of rotation tensor (DRT). The 3D laminated plate model is decomposed into a 2D plate analysis and a non-linear 1D analysis along the normal direction. The approximate energy after dimensionality reduction was deduced and converted to a form of reissner model. The 3D field recovery relations are provided to obtain accurate stress distribution through the thickness direction. The cylindrical bending example of 4-layer composite plate shows that the 3D stress fields recovered by this theory have better accuracy than those by the classic laminated theory (CLT), which indicates the validity of this model.     

Arch Axis Optimization of New Type Arch Bridge with Diagonal Web Cables Based on Geometric Nonlinear Mechanical Analysis

There are obvious geometric nonlinear mechanical characteristics in new type arch bridge with diagonal web cables. Meanwhile, the convergence of the existing arch axis iterative optimization method is not good. In order to solve new type arch bridge axis iteration convergence problem considering geometric nonlinear mechanical analysis, an arch axis iteration optimization method was proposed based on the iteration basis finite element model with two hinge arch model in main arch ring. A 600m span arch bridge with diagonal web cables was selected as an example to test the convergence performance and applicability of proposed method. The results showed that the bending moment of proposed method had better distribution along arch span, and it is about 35% smaller in maximum bending moment, 17% smaller in minimum bending moment and 23% smaller in bending strain energy compared to the results of linear iteration optimization method. Convergence analysis results demonstrated that proposed method had better iteration performance than the existing method. Meanwhile, different initial arch axis can converge to stable results.     

Galerkin Approximate Solutions of Displacement Including the Effect of Dead Loads for Two Kinds of Rectangular Plates

Based on the strain energy considering the effect of dead loads, the general form static equilibrium differential equations were formulated by means of the potential energy principle. The approximate solutions of live load or later load displacement including the effect of dead loads for the clamped rectangular plate and the simply supported rectangular plate were generated by the Galerkin method. These formulas are simple and clear, and their physical concepts are explicit. The correctness of these formulas was verified by the finite element method. The dead loads and other factors that influence the effect of dead loads are shown by these formulas. The effect of dead loads on the two different boundary condition rectangular plate were analyzed by these approximate solutions. The effect of dead loads improves the bending stiffness of plate and minimizes the displacement of live loads or later loads. The key physical factors governing the effects of dead loads on plates are the dead load, the ration of span to thickness and boundary condition etc. This effect of dead loads is not negligible, especial in thinner plates or plates with smaller stiffness, more attention should be paid to the effect of dead load in the calculation and analysis for plates.
