Probability Analysis of Failure Cause for Light Weight Steel Structure under Snow Disaster

In the current unified standard for reliability design, it lacks full considerations of the range of load effect ratio for reliability analysis of light weight steel structures. Firstly, a computational method based on stress was proposed to calculate load effect ratio, which solves the problem that which kind of load effects can be chosen to calculate load effect ratio when the member fails with actions of several kinds of internal forces. Then, the range of load effect ratio was studied for light weight steel structures after some analyses of several members with this method. It is found that the load effect ratio of light weight steel structures can adopt large values under the disadvantage distributions of snow load. The reliability was also calculated for light weight steel structures designed with current partial factors. Its result shows that the reliability of light weight steel structure is low. Finally, the reliability was analyzed for light weight steel structures with different load effect ratios when snow load exceeded the design standard level. It indicates that the reliability is low for light weight steel structures with large load effect ratio. This provides some complementary explanations for the phenomena that the light steel structures are more likely to fail under snow disaster.     

偏心受压冷弯薄壁槽钢的卷边角度优化设计

为了使得钢结构的性能与用钢量比达到最优,前人对槽型钢的截面尺寸优化进行了较为充分的研究。但是,涉及卷边角度的优化特别是偏心受压工况下的优化分析却很缺乏。以Yao-Teng偏心受压计算公式,结合遗传算法,以冷弯卷边槽钢柱偏心受压为例,将槽钢卷边角度与偏心距作为设计变量,寻找在不同偏心距受压情况下,达到最大畸变屈曲临界应力的卷边角度。基于有限条分析程序,对两端简支与两端固支情况下不同截面尺寸构件的畸变屈曲临界应力进行了计算分析,最终得出不同偏心距受压下统一的最优卷边角度。为了方便工程设计人员设计时参考,建议卷边角度统一取为100°。     

柱失效方程中荷载相关特性对承载力抗震设计可靠度的影响

以竖向荷载和水平地震作用组合下的钢筋混凝土柱和钢柱为对象,研究了失效方程中荷载相关特性对柱承载力抗震可靠性的影响。根据现行《混凝土结构设计规范》和《钢结构设计规范》分析了不同柱弯矩轴力相关曲线的特性。结合多个框架结构实例,对比了柱失效方程中荷载相关曲线与规范考虑情形的异同。实例分析表明:水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,小偏压RC柱和工字型钢柱的荷载相关曲线与规范考虑的情形较为符合,均近似为负相关的直线;水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,大偏压RC柱的荷载相关曲线则与规范考虑的情形有较大出入,存在明显的正相关段部分。在此基础上,考虑失效方程复杂特性,依据已有的荷载和抗力变量概率模型,采用Monte Carlo法分析了水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下柱的可靠性。结果表明:钢柱和小偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化幅度较小,与规范模式计算结果较接近;大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化会有较大幅度波动,与规范模式计算结果差异较大;当轴压力荷载效应比值为负时,大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度会低于规范计算值较多,现行柱可靠性设计方法会偏于不安全。

Analysis on Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members Using Deformation Condensation Method

Traditional nonlinear analysis of RC structures usually adopts nonlinear FEM based on continuum mechanics, and it is hard to reflect macroscopic deformation characteristic, such as local rotation in crack sections and plastic hinge of failure stage. From the perspective of physical model, a new deformation condensation method is developed. The analysis of RC flexural members in the 1-D elastic problem involve three stages based on the concept of deformation condensation. RC flexural members were divided into several elements according to average crack spacing to get numerical model consistent with the physical model with higher computational efficiency tests of RC flexural members reinforced with high strength rebars conducted by Institute of Prestressed Structures in Tongji University, were simulated and the simulation results agreed well with the experimental data indicating that this novel method is applicable.     

Comparisons of Methods for In-Plane Bearing Capacity Calculation of Two-Hinged Parabolic Steel Arch Under Full-Span and Half-Span Loads

The internal force would vary largely with different load ratio for steel arches under combined full-span with half-span loads. However, most relevant formulas on in-plane stability capacity of steel arches were obtained by studying the stability under a single load. Thus, it lacks full considerations of the applicability of bearing capacity formulas under a combined full-span load with half-span load. To overcome this shortcoming, the two-hinged parabolic steel arch was used to compare the results of bearing capacity of arches with different load ratios, rise-span ratios and sections calculated by several methods, The method proposed in the current Chinese design specification of steel arch structure and the finite element method based on the perfect arch and the consistent imperfect arch were included. The results showed that the method in the specification for designing a steel arch would be conservative with a large ratio of the full-span load to the total loads while unsafe with a large ratio of the half-span load to the total loads.     

Strain rate effects on dynamic behavior of reinforcement concrete columns with various reinforcement ratio

The mechnical characteristics of concrete is sensitive to the strain rate and it is crucial to consider the effect of load rates on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to dynamic loads such as severe earthquakes. In this study, numerical simulations on the dynamic behavior of typical RC column specimens under dynamic loadings with different load rates were performed. Concrete constitutive model considering the strain rate effects proposed by the CEB code was employed with a fiber model to characterize the nonlinear strain rate dependent behavior of RC columns. The developed dynamic fiber element model was validated by comparing the simulated results of four RC column specimens with the fast loading test results. Results show that the developed fiber element model can predict the behavior of RC columns with acceptable accuracy. After valiating the proposed fiber elemen model considering the strain rate effect, the load carrying capacity of different RC columns with various longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios were simulated. Results show that the trends of the influences of longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios on the load carrying capacity of the RC columns under dynamic loadings are different.

The applicability of plane section assumption in the nonlinear analysis is discussed primarily, which shows that it is feasible on the whole for shaped RC columns with flange width-thickness ratio equal to or smaller than 4:1.     

高强钢焊接薄腹工形截面双向压弯构件的稳定性

应用ANSYS有限元，分析了Q460高强钢焊接薄腹工形截面双向压弯构件的稳定性能，提出了可供实际应用参考的设计公式。分析中考虑的主要参数有腹板高厚比，构件长细比，翼缘宽厚比及荷载偏心率。结果表明，对受压为主的构件，腹板局部屈曲对构件稳定承载力影响较大，而对受弯为主的构件，这一因素对构件稳定承载力影响较小。有限元分析结果与现行规范方法计算结果比较表明，目前规范方法尚不能较好地计算高强钢焊接薄腹工形截面双向压弯构件的稳定承载力，因而提出了修正直接强度法，该法精度较好且偏于安全。     

Experimental study on seismic behavior of beam-column sandwich joints with big beam-column eccentricity

Three specimens of sandwich joints with eccentricity being larger than a quarter of the column width in middle floor of frame are designed and loaded under cyclic loading. Their shear capacity, failure modes, and ductility, as well as energy dissipation are analyzed. The results show that the performance of sandwich joints with big eccentricity is good under cyclic loading. X-type reinforcements can be used to substitute for stirrups in the joint to bear shear forces. But the anchorage of longitudinal bars of beams in eccentric sandwich joints is relatively weak. Comparing to sandwich joints without eccentricity, the column longitudinal bars near the sandwich joints with big eccentricity are vulnerable to sudden change of strain.

Effects of Response Spectra Dispersion of Earthquake Ground Motions on Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Bridge Structures

A three-span regular continuous RC girder highway bridge and two bins of real accelerograms were selected for incremental dynamic analysis to study the correlation of the dispersions of response spectra of earthquake ground motions and probabilistic seismic demand assessments of bridge structures. It is found that the dispersions of seismic demands are closely related to the dispersions of response spectra of selected ground motions.

Bearing capacity of composite columns reinforced by concrete filled steel tube

In this study, nine simplified short composite columns consisting of core CFST (concrete filled steel tube) of different diameters and outer reinforced concrete were constructed to study their compressive performance under axial or eccentric compression. The failure mode is characterized by the crush of the outer concrete. The bearing capacity increases at first and then decreases with further increase of the position coefficient. It can be concluded that position coefficient is an important structural parameter that has considerable influences on the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns. The outer concrete, steel tubes and longitudinal reinforcement are found to work in a cooperative manner under axial or eccentric compression when the position coefficient is about 0.5. An improved bearing capacity algorithm that takes the position coefficient into account has been proposed based on the experimental and simulation results and current technical specification in China. It has been proven to be precise and safe.

With the flexibility-based fiber model,the seismic behaviors of RC structures with specially shaped columns,designed according to the current code,are analyzed under unidirectional rare earthquakes using nonlinear dynamic analysis method.The beam strength is calculated with or without consideration of the diaphragm and its reinforcement.The results are compared and the conclusion has been drawn that the bending capacity of beams would be increased due to the effect of diaphragm and its reinforcement,and which would change the failure mechanism of RC frames under rare earthquake,especially in high intensity areas.Therefore the influence of the diaphragm should be considered during the seismic design of the type of structure.
