Reliability Analysis on Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Steel Reinforced High Strength Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Slender Columns

The first degree second order moment method (JC method) recommended in Unified Standard for Reliability Design of Building Structures (GB500682001) was applied to analyze the reliability of steel reinforced high strength concrete filled steel tubular slender columns. Several performances were studies, which were the influences of different load combinations, specific values of loads, strength grades of concrete, thickness of steel tube, area of cross section of structural steel, steel yield strength and slenderness ratio on the reliability of the composite column. It was found that, when the slenderness ratios were within common range, the reliability indexes of the proposed formulae satisfied the demand of GB500682001 for plastic material on the whole. And it was concluded that the reliability index varied with the load combination and specific value of loads. The reliability index increased with the increase of concrete strength grade and decreased with the increase of steel tube thickness. Furthermore, steel yield strength and slenderness ratio had different influences on the reliability indexes.

Ultimate Bearing Capacity Analysis of High Strength Single Angle Compression Member Eccentrically at One End

To analyze mechanical behavior of Q460 high strength single angle steel struts with an eccentric load at one end in transmission towers, experimental analysis and theoretical calculation were carried out to study the overall stability and local buckling of members. Spherical hinge bearing and double knife edge bearing were applied at axial end of specimens. Influence of some factors on bearing capacity of compression members with eccentricities at both ends was analyzed, such as the end supporting conditions and residual stresses. It was shown that whether spherical hinge bearing or double knife edge bearing was used at axial end, the mechanical behavior can be accurately presented and the residual stresses affected the ultimate load carrying capacity by about 5％ or less. Compared with different methods, such as experiment method、finite element method, method in the Guide for American Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structure（ASCE101997）and method in Chinese Technical Regulation of Design for Tower and Pole Structure of Overhead Transmission Line (DL/T51542002), it was found that the calculated strength of high strength steel member by standard calculation method in DL/T51542000 was over conservative. According to the research results, the revised formulas of ASCE were proposed with dividing actual material strength by the resistance coefficient of rR=1.111. Therefore, the experimental results can provide reference for designing high strength Q460 single angle steel members compressed eccentrically at one end.     

Study on the Comparison of Different Methods of Simplifying Capacity Spectrum

It is necessary to simplify the capacity spectrum into bilinear form so as to get characteristic point of hysteretic bone curve(especially the yield point and the yielded stiffness),ductility and equivalent damping of the structure.Three general methods of calculating yield point and yielded stiffness of equivalent SDOF are introduced and the yield point and the yielded stiffness of three frame structures are compared using above given methods in this paper.The hysteretic bone curves of equivalent SDOF are decided by the equivalent yield force and displacement,the maximum plastic displacements of equivalent SDOF under rare earthquake are calculated,and it is compared with the maximum plastic displacements of member structures using nonlinear dynamic analysis.Finally,the advice of simplifying capacity spectrum is advanced.     

Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Research on Pedestal of PC Beam for Light Railcar

In design of light railcar used freely supported beam, the cast steel pedestals will bear complex loads, which include weight, acceleration and wind, etc. Because of pedestals' peculiarity and complexity, the strength of the pedestals play an important role in safety of light railcar. So it's necessary to analyze their stress and deformation in order to insure safety of light railcar. Up to now, finite element analysis is still the most effective means. By studying cast steel pedestal with finite element method, 3-D finite element models of fixed and kinetic pedestals were built, and the loads and boundary condition of pedestals were analyzed. By means of finite element analysis software, the contact and von mises stresses were obtained and deformation were resolved. As a result of analysis, the tow of pedestal can fulfill requirement of use in light railcar, the contact stress and von mises stress are not exceeded limit stress strength of materials. There is enough static strength for the structures of pedestals. For verifying theoretical analysis result, the fatigue test was carried out, with examining the testing points locating on the pedestals, the stress and deformation data were measured. By comparing between theoretical analysis and test data, the experimental results show calculated and testing results can meet the case well which assure the reliability of finite element analysis. But in the result, there are differences in deformations of them. The reason may be that boundary conditions and loads are not same between analysis and experiment.     

Fatigue Life Analysis of Tower Crane’s Steel Structure with Finite Element Method

A new method was presented which was based on finite element method to predict the fatigue life of tower crane's steel structure. With the method, the finite element model of tower crane was developed and the static stress was calculated. And then time history was defined. It was found that there were two main types of fatigue loads acting on tower crane, which were the amplitude load and the impact load. For the amplitude load, a method with field observation and statistical method was proposed and it was found that the frequency of the trolleyjib slipping the stride on the orbit and the beam's coordinate showed statistically normal distributions. And time history of amplitude load was calculated with one day as a cycle. For impact load, taking transient response method, the relationship between internal stress and time was established for main working conditions and the time history was obtained. Taking the static stress of tower crane, time course of amplitude load and time history of impact load as inputs, the fatigue life of steel structure was obtained with the software of MSC.FATIGUE. 

Numerical Analysis on Design of Dualistic Foundation Pit with ‘End Suspended Pile’

Foundation pits with dualistic structure of soil stratum and underlying rock stratum were commonly across Qingdao area. Aiming at the characteristics of “end suspended pile”, numerical simulation with Finite Element Method(FEM) and analysis was carried out to study the design methods and other influencing factors, such as stability, depth of the pile body, axial stress of anchor and width of reserved rock shoulder. It was shown that traditional design methods were applicable for the upper soil stratum, with the excavation stability guaranteed. The increase in embedded depth of pile body or axial stress of anchor led to effective control over excavation stability and deformation of the underlying rock stratum. And the axial stress was the main controlling factor, hence intense monitoring should be carried out on the stress during the course of construction. The larger the width of the rock shoulder was, the smaller the displacement of piles would be. When the width exceeded a certain value, its influences on the displacement and bending moment of piles tended to be insignificant.

Discussion on Calculation Pattern of Concrete Filled Steel Tube with Dumbbell shaped Section

Based on the structural feature of dumbbell shaped section of concrete filled steel tube (CFST), a combined spatial beam element is presented. In this structure, two steel tubes, two core concretes, one web and the concrete in web cavity are firstly considered as general spatial beam elements, then they are assembled into a spatial combined beam element according to the plane hypothesis and transformation matrix formed from master and slave nodes. A FORTRAN program for CFST arch with dumbbell shaped section has been developed, and the numerical example shows that the steel tubes and core concretes bear mainly the axial forces with small moments, thus, a modified formula for lattice column method to calculate axial forces of the upper and lower limbs of CFST with dumbbell shaped section is deduced. Comparison of the results from the modified formula with those from an example indicates that the modified formula gives relatively accurate results. 
