Abstract:

The objective of this research program is to further evaluate the performance and constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) column-steel beam-slab systems (RCS) for use in low- to mid-rise space frame buildings located in regions of high wind loads and/or moderate seismicity. To better understand these systems, two full scale RCS cruciform specimens were tested under bidirectional quasi-static reversed cyclic loading. The experimental portion of this research program included the construction and testing of two full-scale cruciform specimens with identical overall dimensions but with differ

Abstract:

An investigation of the behavior of multistory composite frames is presented. The investigation includes a review of the state-of-the-art of composite frame analysis and design methods, and also details the features of the response of composite frames during the construction phase. In an original development, solution procedures that incorporate the effects of construction sequencing on the strength and stability of composite frames are developed. This is extended to define the new concept of a construction limit state for use in design of such structures. These procedures are intended for use

Abstract:

A fully automated computer program is developed for the optimum design of steel space trusses acting compositely with a concrete slab placed on top. The program sizes the truss members to meet the requirements of the load and resistance factor design specification of the American Institute of Steel Construction using the load combinations of ANSI. Earthquake loading is not considered. The optimum size is based on minimum cost, regarding the amount of welding required at the joints and of the member itself. The total cost is based on all steel work in the truss. Once the truss configuration has

This study investigated the application of fibre reinforced composite materials to spacecraft sandwich structures. In particular, aspects of the manufacture, analysis and design optimisation of components fabricated using the co-cure process were studied. The manufacturing process was developed to ultimately enable a full size thrust tube structure to be built using a single step cure, the design of which was verified by a modal survey test. Techniques for the analysis of stiffness, strength., vibration frequencies and local instability were established and found to correlate well with tests o

Abstract:

A study has been made of glass fibre reinforced plastic beams in three-point bending. In recent years, the importance of flexural loading in composites has manifested itself in the form of composite leaf springs, helicopter rotors, and other applications. This study is directed at the initiation, growth, characterization and measurement of damage in unidirectional and cross-ply composite beams. Beams were tested in three-point static and cyclic bending. Following damage initiation, either by a machined notch or by repeated cycling, damage growth has been characterized by two damage parameters

Abstract:

In many engineering applications, it is desirable to know the behaviour of structures and systems under loading conditions. One reason is to help optimize the design and prevent damage and failure which might occur during in service and operation. Damage represents a serious problem which can cause catastrophic failure of structures, machines and systems. Therefore for safe operation, efficient and reliable methods for inspection and monitoring of damage are required. Different methods for health monitoring of structures such as non destructive testing (NDT) and strain gauges are widely used.

Abstract:

The primary objective of this study has been to examine the behavior of continuous composite beams. The investigation has been based on a nonlinear analysis of 15 composite floor systems. New design criteria have been proposed to calculate the effective width at mid-span and supports, at yield and at ultimate loads. New design equations have been developed to calculate the ultimate strength of a composite section in both positive and negative moment regions. Ductility and deflection characteristics have been studied and equations are proposed to calculate the deflection at service load.

Abstract:

Minimum mass designs are obtained for a simple box beam structure subject to bending, torque and combined bending/torque load cases. These designs are obtained subject to point strain and linear buckling constraints. The present work differs from previous efforts in that special attention is payed to including the effects of subcomponent panel interaction in the optimal design process. Two different approaches are used to impose the buckling constraints. When the global approach is used, buckling constraints are imposed on the global structure via a linear eigenvalue analysis. This approach al

The laminate constitutive relations are incorporated into a first-order shear deformation plate theory. The resulting boundary value problem is solved by utilizing the finite element method. · Computational aspects of the numerical solution, su
