The suitability of employing the second-order shear deformation theory to static bending problems of thin and moderately thick isotropic circular cylindrical shells was investigated. Two variant forms of the polynomial second-order displacement models were considered. Both models account for quadratic expansions of the surface displacements along the shell thickness, although the second model (SSODM) was augmented by the initial curvature term. The equilibrium equations were derived by use of the principle of virtual work. Navier analytical solutions were obtained under simply supported boundary conditions. The results of the displacements and stresses revealed that the theory formulated on the SSODM provides a good depiction of the bending response of thin and moderately thick shells and are in close agreement with those of the first and higher-order shear deformation theories (FSDT; HSDT). The ability of the theory formulated on the first model (FSODM) to predict adequate values of displacements and stresses in thin shells was found to be significantly affected by changes in length to radius of curvature ( l/a ) ratios

To better understand the penetration mechanism of the elliptical cross-section projectile (ECSP) into semi-infinite concrete target, penetration experiments using three types of ECSPs with different shape ratios (1, 1.25 and 1.61) and with striking velocities ranged from 550 m/s to 1050 m/s were conducted. Penetration depths, penetration trajectory and mass erosion rates of the projectile were obtained after the experiments. The experiment results show that the penetration performance and ballistic stability of the ECSP are equivalent to those of the circular cross-section projectile (CCSP). Based on the theory of complex variable function and conformal transformation, a semi-analytical model which can calculate the cavity boundary stress distribution of elliptical section cavity controlled by the displacement boundary condition was established and the model was validated by comparing the model degenerate solution with Kirsch problem results. Theoretical calculation results show that the radial stress of elliptical section cavity increases progressively from the minor axis to the major axis. In addition, a formula combining with the semi-analytical theoretical model and the local interaction theory was developed. The predicted penetration depths were compared with 30 groups of experiment data with different projectile parameters and striking velocities and coincide quite well with the corresponding experimental data. Finally, the influence of shape ratio and caliber-radius-head (CRH) on the penetration performance of projectile and the application prospect of ECSPs on hypersonic weapon platform were studied.

The balanced cast-in-place cantilever erection method has become a popular construction bridge technique. The main advantages include an industrialized erection technique that prevents the use of intermediate supports and rapid construction. However, the long-term response of this bridge typology is not well understood as long-term deflections due to time-dependent phenomena (such as creep and shrinkage) are significantly simplified in bridge design codes. Existing prediction models commonly used in design tend to underestimate long-term deflections, and as a result, field measurements conducted in newly constructed bridges still report excessive long-term deflections. This paper shows the long-term deflection analysis of a long-span concrete bridge located in Colombia and opened to traffic in 2014. This study is conducted using field data collected within a one-year time interval and modelling results. Further comparisons using field data collected from bridges with similar structural configurations, but opened to traffic in the 90s and 2000s, show that the bridge's current situation is categorized as a major concern.

In this paper, a finite element (FE)-based model that efficiently evaluates the dynamic behavior of dam-reservoir-foundation interaction (DRFI) problem was proposed including the radiation of waves to the unbounded rock and reservoir domains. Lagrangian fluid elements were used to discretize the near-field reservoir domain, while the presented infinite fluid elements were used to discretize the far-field reservoir domain. The fully coupled equation of motion for DRFI problem was solved by direct method. A two-dimensional (2D) plane-strain FE formulation of the problem is written in FORTRAN 90 programming language. Investigations were conducted on the effect of near-field domain size (length and depth) on the dynamic behavior of DRFI, dam-foundation interaction (DFI), and dam-reservoir interaction (DRI) problems. The results of this study demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms many other models that have been evolved in the literature in terms of accuracy and speed. The reflected hydrodynamic pressures at the far-field reservoir domain were efficiently absorbed by the suggested infinite fluid elements. The near-field domains size has a noticeable impact on the dynamic behavior of the dam. Making an exact choice about the size is more challenging. However, it was observed that the size of 1.5H is the physically appropriate response.

A reinforced concrete (RC) column improved with central large-diameter butted steel rods (CLBSR column) has been proposed to increase the limit value of the axial compression ratio. This paper presents the seismic behavior analysis of CLBSR columns subjected to low-cycle reciprocating loading. The CLBSR columns were also compared with the RC column improved with central large-diameter steel rods (CLSR column) and the RC column improved with central reinforcement bars (CRB column) under the same experimental conditions. The typical failure modes, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity were all investigated. The improved PARK damage model obtained the corresponding relationships between the damage indices and the damage state of each column. The test results indicated that the CLBSR columns and CLSR columns had similar seismic behavior, but were slightly inferior to the CRB columns. Overall, the butt joint of large-diameter steel rods had little effect on the seismic behavior.

Precast dry connected frame systems are faster to construct with less erection efforts. These frame systems are considered non-emulate frame systems. The lateral load behaviour of these connections needs to be evaluated to ensure the desired performance. The performance of these dry connections with embedded bolts proposed was studied by finite elemental analysis. The nonlinear FEM analysis results obtained by considering appropriate elements, and material definition parameters, including failure and interactions, were validated with the experimental results available in the literature. The rigidity of the joints was evaluated using the beamline method. The beamline plot unveils that the joints can be classified as rigid joints. The results reveal that the joints under study have satisfactory stiffness degradation, energy dissipation characteristics, and failure modes like monolithic connection. The numerical procedure developed provide an efficient solution for performance evaluation and seismic design of these precast joints

In this paper, a model of the composite foundation reinforced with geosynthetic encased stone columns was established using the discrete element method, and the characteristics of its action under cyclic loading were studied. The influence of the length and radius of the pile on the settlement of the composite foundation is analyzed. The deformation characteristics of the pile and the stress ratio of pile-soil are studied under different pile lengths and radius. Then, based on this, the analysis of the lateral deformation characteristics of the piles under cyclic loading, the calculation model of the geosynthetic encased pile composite foundation is established. The settlement calculation formula of the composite foundation is solved according to the deformation coordination relationship between the pile and soil, the equilibrium condition, and the boundary condition. The results show that the theoretical value is in good agreement with the simulation value, which verifies the rationality of the theoretical calculation formula.

The industrialized building system has specific characteristics that set it apart from the conventional concrete wall system, namely, a reduced wall thickness, the use of electro-welded wire mesh, and a lack of boundary element confinement. These conditions have attracted the interest of researchers, who have developed various experimental programs to evaluate the behavior of these walls. However, evidence on the seismic performance of buildings remains scarce. In this study, the performance of 5, 8-and 12-story buildings was evaluated by nonlinear chronological analysis. Numerical models were constructed using the Shell Layered element of the ETABS software and adjusted based on the results from tests of isolated walls and the periods of one of the buildings identified in an ambient vibration test. The findings suggest that these buildings may fail to meet the life safety performance level in high seismic hazard areas.

To investigate the effect of polyurea on the protective performance of a steel target plate under the combination of shock wave and fragments, the failure characteristics, damage process and micro mechanism of the polyurea coated steel plates with different coating methods under the combination of explosion shock waves and fragments were analyzed through experiments and numerical simulations. The results showed that single-sided coatings aggravated the damage of target plate when the coating thickness was 2 mm. While the polyurea thickness greater than 4 mm could significantly reduce the damage degree of the steel plate. When the polyurea was coated on the double sides, it would aggravate the damage, no matter how thick the polyurea was. Through microscopic research, it was found that the front coated polyurea was severely ablated by detonation products, which greatly reduce its energy absorption efficiency. The polyurea coated on the back underwent tensile fracture under the influence of tensile stress wave. The breaking of intramolecular hydrogen bond of polyurea was the key to the energy absorption of polyurea.

This article examined steel frames with shear beam-column connections to determine the effectiveness of different masonry infill walls under progressive collapse. This research concentrated on the shear connection, which is the most common type of steel beam-column connection in steel buildings. Furthermore, this work experimentally evaluated one-third-scale steel-framed configurations with a single shear beam-column connection and another infilled steel frame wall configuration from the literature to verify the validity of 3D finite element models developed using the program ABAQUS. Finite element models were then used to investigate 16 different kinds of steel frames with infill masonry as well as the influence of multiple frames and the number of stories. In addition, the effects of a fully infilled frame and those of a bare frame and an infilled frame with openings were compared in flexural and catenary action phases. Results revealed that the steel building’s structural strength and energy dissipation against progressive collapse are significantly improved by infill walls
