High performance ferrocement laminate (HPFL) reinforcement method is used in this paper to make a finite element analysis on mechanical properties of five reinforced slab-column members. The analysis shows that the bearing capacity of reinforced slab columns and rigidity of midspan slab band have been improved accordingly. Furthermore, with different layout types (field type, groined type and, cross type) of steel mesh in reinforced layer, reinforcement effect and mechanical behavior of reinforced columns can be different. On the premise that punching shear resistance of original columns is strong enough, cross-type reinforcement is the best bending resistance reinforcement pattern of the best reinforcement effect with field-type reinforcement as the second. A reasonable selection of reinforcement pattern shall be made on the basis of the structure’s own mechanical characteristics while a reasonable reinforcement pattern can both ensure the effect of reinforced columns and cut the costs. Conclusions of the paper are supposed to provide some references for reinforcement design in practical engineering.

<p>The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment is concerned with the safety of existing infrastructure and expected re-analysis of a large number of bridges and viaducts. Nonlinear finite element analysis can provide a tool to assess safety; a more realistic estimation of the existing safety can be obtained.</p><p>Dutch Guidelines, based on scientific research, general consensus among peers, and a long-term experience with nonlinear analysis, allow for a reduction of model and user factors and improve the robustness of nonlinear finite element analyses.</p><p>The 2017 version of the guidelines can be used for the finite element analysis of basic concrete structural elements like beams, girders and slabs, reinforced or prestressed. Existing structures, like box-girder structures, culverts and bridge decks with prestressed girders in composite structures can be analysed.</p><p>The guidelines have been developed with a two-fold purpose. First, to advice analysts on nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures. Second, to explain the choices made and to educate analysts, related to the responsibility of limiting model uncertainty.</p><p>This paper contains an overview of the latest version of the guideline and its latest validation extensions. Most important impact is the extended operational lifetime of an existing reinforced concrete slab structure.</p>

Frame Method

Microcomputer finite element analysis of reinforced concrete slab systems can now be routinely performed to produce realistic numerical simulation of three-dimensional structural behaviour. However, an efficient use of this approach requires an automated integration of design and analysis procedures. Guidelines for proper finite element modelling of slab systems are first presented along with simple post-processing algorithms to perform automatically the design or verifications from the analytical results. Numerical applications on simple slab systems subjected to uniform and concentrated loads are then used to illustrate the relative performance between finite element analyses and the equivalent frame method. Key words: microcomputer, reinforced concrete slab, finite element method, structural design.

In order to get the optimal design scheme of a directly buried heating bent pipeline with many fold angles in a certain practical engineering, this paper simulated the pipeline by the ANSYS finite element analysis software.Through applying different boundary conditions to the model, the stress was analyzed, the destroy forms of the pipeline and the positions of stress danger points were determined,and the fatigue life was checked according to BS EN. Compared with the current design method,adopting numerical simulation analysis method has greatly reduced the number of the usage of compensators and fixed piers, broke through the restrictions for larger fold angle in the standard,and at the same time, it has reduced the construction difficulties and the engineering investment,improved the reliability of the network,this paper has guiding significance to the engineering practice.

Abstract Steel sheet piles are often used to support excavations for bridge foundations. When they are left in place in the permanent works, they have the potential to increase foundation bearing capacity and reduce displacements; but their presence is not usually taken into account in foundation design. In this article, the results of finite element analysis of a typical abutment foundation, with and without cover of sheet piles, are presented to demonstrate these effects. The structure described is located over the Więceminka river in the town of Kołobrzeg, Poland. It is a single-span road bridge with reinforced concrete slab.

Bending Load

Order to investigate the failure effect of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) plate under bending load, the corresponding finite element model is established. By comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental results, the rationality and feasibility of the finite element model are verified, and then the crack extension of TRC and the ultimate strain of carbon textile are analyzed. The failure mode of the slab under bending load is obtained, and it is found that the carbon textile concrete slab has better reinforcement effect, which greatly improves the safety performance of concrete members.

The aim for this research is to investigate the effect of inclusion of crack incidence into the 2D numerical model of the masonry units and bonding mortar on the behavior of unreinforced masonry walls supporting a loaded reinforced concrete slab. The finite element method was implemented for the modeling and analysis of unreinforced masonry walls. In this paper, ABAQUS, FE software with implicit solver was used to model and analyze unreinforced masonry walls which are subjected to a vertical load. Detailed Micro Modeling technique was used to model the masonry units, mortar and unit-mortar interface separately. It was found that considering potential pure tensional cracks located vertically in the middle of the mortar and units shows an increase in masonry strength of about 10% than the strength calculated using the procedure recommended by the Masonry Society Joint Committee in the building code.
