Abstract:
As a new type of deep water offshore foundation, suction caisson is widely used to offshore structures. However, the current methods of evaluation and design cannot meet the increasing requirement of engineering practice. In this dissertation, the studies are emphasized on finite element method for analyzing the suction caisson bearing capacity behavior and the failure mechanism under the vertical load. Based on studying the vertical bearing behavior of caissons with different ratio of length to diameter L / D, it shown that as L / D increases, the vertical bearing capacity growth slowed.

Abstract:
This paper deals with static analysis of load-bearing steel grid of a transparent roof. Ten structures with various spans (from 12.58 m to 30.08 m) and different heights (from 2.494 m to 7.471 m) have been modelled and analysed. The calculations were repeated for two common used types of the cross-sections - (60 x 40) mm and (60 x 60) mm. Permanent loads (the self-weight, the weight of glass panels) and variable loads (snow, wind) were taken into account. Obtained results were verified by four additional structures. The architects can use resultant graphs (the dimensions, maximum axial forces and maximum vertical displacements) in first stage of the design.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the use of rubber bearings in base isolated structures. In Japan alone there are likely to be 100 base-isolated buildings completed by the end of 1994 all of which will be on rubber bearings [Ref 1.2]. A distinction is drawn between the use of rubber bearings in bridges where they are subject to both the fatigue of traffic loading and diurnal temperature movements throughout their life, and their use in buildings where the loading is comparatively static until severe earthquake shaking occurs, which at a particular location is not likely to occur more than about once a century. Vertical load capacity and characteristics of vertical deflection in relation to rubber layer thickness and instability are discussed. Shear stiffness and deflection characteristics are outlined together with methods used for providing damping, including damping in lead-rubber bearings. The design of the high-stability aseismic bearing for loads of 1 tonne upwards is discussed in relation to its stability characteristics. It is suggested that tensile forces should be permitted in the short-term loading induced by earthquakes and this is confirmed by current Japanese practice in using fully bonded bearings. The development of self-damping rubber bearings is discussed.

Abstract:
Design of modern thin-walled metal structures is widely used around the world. In recent decades, more comprehensive research is carried out to investigate the behaviour of various thin-walled structures. Generally, the structure with regular geometry is investigated. In various countries such as USA, Russia, and the European Union issued the standards on regulation of the construction, design and maintenance of thin-walled structures. The actually used period of tanks usually is longer than recommendatory period. Recommendatory maintenance period of metal tanks is 15–20 years. Therefore, for such structures one of the most considerable questions is the residual load bearing capacity beyond the end of the maintenance period. This phase of using of structures is associated with complex investigation and numerical analysis of thin-walled structures. In this paper the load bearing capacity of the steel wall of the existing over-ground vertical cylindrical tank in volume of 5,000 m3 with a single defect and with a few contiguous local defects of the shape is analyzed. Calculations carried out are taking into account all the imperfections of the wall geometry. A major goal of the research – developing a realistic numerical model of the object analyzed, taking into account all the imperfections, determining the wall stress and strain state, exploring the places of extreme points, calculating the residual load bearing capacity of the tank and scrutinizing possible strengthening schemes for defective areas.

Aims of research. The article is devoted to actual problems of computational analysis of stress-strain state, strength and stability of load-bearing structures with allowance for the main and special combinations of loads and impacts, comparison of the results of alternative structural analysis of unique cultural and business complex “Congress Hall” in Chelyabinsk. The natural conditions of the area of location of this object and main load-bearing structures of the object are described. Besides, characteristic and design loads, their combinations, formulation of objectives of computational research and methods of solution are presented. Methods. Space discretization and solution of the corresponding problems of mathematical (numerical) and computer modelling of the considering unique building were carried out with the use of finite element method. Detailed finite element models of the coupled system “combined foundation - loadbearing structures” and its fragments (subsystems) were developed and verified. They adequately reflect geometric-stiffness, inertial and load parameters of the object and the resulting stress-strain state. Progressive collapse analysis are under consideration as well. Licensed, certified and verified (by the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences) finite element software package “ANSYS Mechanical” was used. Results. The resulting parameters of stress-strain state, strength and dynamics of load-bearing structures of the building with allowance for design (in accordance with design codes) combinations of vertical and wind loads are considered. Besides, information about results of progressive collapse analysis is presented. Thus, a reasonable conclusion is made about the reliability of the criterion parameters of strength, stability and dynamics of the load-bearing structures of the object.

Abstract:
Relevant literature indicates that the critical parameters relating to load transfer in the curved, sliding, compression-only, polytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE)-metal interface of a spherical bearing under an external applied horizontal load are the ratio of the horizontal load to the vertical load and the ratio of the radius of curvature to the plan diameter of the interfacing spherical surfaces. An experimental program measuring the stress-displacement relationship of confined PTFE discs under uniaxial and eccentric compressive loadings is described, and a bilinear stress-displacement relationship is proposed. This stress-displacement relationship is incorporated into a displacement model to predict the stress distribution in the PTFE in the curved interface, and results from the model are compared with those from a finite-element model. The displacement model is used to develop design charts for spherical bearings under combined vertical and horizontal loads.

Abstract:
To large span spatial structures, the displacements and internal forces caused by temperature loads and support settlements cannot be ignored. Beijing Jiangtai winter garden mainly consists of reticulated shell and glass curtain wall. The reticulated shell is composed of 9 spatial arches and other common frames, thus it can be seen as arch-reticulated shell hybrid structure. The two ends of the arches are supported at the top of steel columns and concrete walls separately. The glass curtain wall is fixed to vertical cables. This paper chose eight load cases including temperature loads and support settlements, and used ANSYS to analyze static responses of the structure under such load combinations. The comparative results showed that temperature loads had more effect on the structure’s load bearing capacity than support settlements. And the superiority of hybrid structures was fully embodied in the conclusions of this paper.

Abstract:
The composite bucket foundation for offshore wind turbine bears the vertical load from not only the superstructure and the horizontal load, caused by wind and wave, but also from the torque load caused by rotating structures, such as blades. Based on layered soil foundation, the influence of the skirt height, the friction coefficient between soil and bucket foundation and the diameter of the bucket foundation on the stress of the bucket skirt under the torque load are studied in this paper. Moreover, the envelope curves of the bearing capacity of H–T and V–H–T are obtained by the fixed displacement ratio loading method. The bearing capacity characteristics of composite bucket foundation under different loading combinations are analyzed. The results show that: (1) The effect of inside soil on the bucket skirt is greater than that of the outside soil; (2) when composite loads are applied, the torque-bearing capacity decreases slowly with the increase of horizontal force, and when the horizontal force increases to a certain value, the value of the torque decreases significantly; and (3) the shape of the H–T failure envelope of the bucket foundation has no obvious change, vertical load have less effect on horizontal and torque load.

Abstract:
In order to achieve the purpose of resource and energy saving in the process of producing ceramics products, the hollow lightweight load bearing board in thermal environment with topological structures was made by 3D printing. In this study, the load bearing board manufactured with different topological structures such as vertical grid, oblique square grid, and honeycomb grid was printed by direct ink writing technology using the same raw material of kaolin clay and α-Al2O3 powder. The three kinds of samples were sintered at 1450°C × 3 h. The effect of printed structures on mechanical property of load bearing board samples was investigated. Moreover, the finite element simulation was used to study the stress distribution of the load bearing board. Comparing with results obtained by three kinds of samples, honeycomb grid supported samples proved to be the most appropriate structure in various directions comprehensively.

Abstract:
Because offshore wind turbines are high-rise structures, they transfer large horizontal loads and moments to their foundations. One of the keys to designing a foundation is determining the sensitivities and laws affecting its load-bearing capacity. In this study, this procedure was carried out for a new high-rise cap pile group foundation adapted to the loading characteristics of offshore wind turbines. The sensitivities of influential factors affecting the bearing properties were determined using an orthogonal test. Through a combination of numerical simulations and model tests, the effects of the inclination angle, length, diameter, and number of side piles on the vertical bearing capacity, horizontal bearing capacity, and bending bearing capacity were determined. The results indicate that an increase in the inclination angle of the side piles will increase the vertical bearing capacity, horizontal bearing capacity, and bending bearing capacity. An increase in the length of the side piles will increase the vertical bearing capacity and bending bearing capacity. When the length of the side piles is close to the central pile, the increase is more apparent. Finally, increasing the number of piles will increase the horizontal bearing capacity; however, the growth rate is small because of the pile group effect.

Small dimension engineering tubular structures subjected to a complex load system are designed like hollow circular shells. For minimum weight design, the ratio between the shell radius and the thickness has to be as large as possible, but its maximum value is limited by the onset of local buckling. Tubular natural structures subjected to a complex load system have often an outer shell of solid material supported by a low density, compliant core, which makes them more resistant to local buckling. Biomimicking of natural constructions offer the potential to improve the design of small diameter tubular engineering structures. Here, the fabrication technology of biomimicked engineering tubular structures integrating aluminum foam or honeycomb as core material is discussed. A viability analysis is presented including technical performance, cost, utility, and risk assessments. Aluminum compliant core shells have potential for substituting CFRP and aluminum tubular structures in aerospace and high-level sport applications. The case of sailboat masts was considered in detail. Results of our analysis proved that use of honeycomb as core material can lead to a significant reduction of the mast weight. Business opportunities based on this application are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous to the now acting construction regulations EKS and Eurocode, the fire resistance of the load-bearing structures of mono glazed balconies were designed with a fire test called the SP fire 105. In 2011, when EKS replaced the previous construction regulations called Boverkets konstruktionsregler, BKR, the SP fire 105 was no longer the requirement for mono glazed balconies. Instead, EKS prescribed that the load-bearing structures of mono glazed balconies should be determined by the use of nominal fire exposure or a natural fire model. EKS and Eurocode have previously prescribed that the standard temperature-time curve (ISO 834) was to be used when determining the fire resistance of structural elements according to nominal temperature-time curves. But an agreement made between Balkongföreningen and Boverket in 2011, established that the external temperature-time curve could be used for determination of the fire resistance of the structural elements of mono glazed balconies. The external temperature-time curve means a design temperature of the structural members of approximately 680 °C for a fire-resistance class R30, instead of a temperature of 842 °C for the standard temperature-time curve. In 2019, EKS 11 was introduced with a slight change in the regulation. The new regulation specifically implies that building parts placed within glazed balconies should not be considered as external. Due to the formulation in EKS 11, it is no longer possible to use the external temperature-time curve for verification of the fire resistance of structural elements of mono glazed balconies. The formulation says that building parts placed within glazed balconies should not be considered as external, which means that the standard temperature-time curve must be applied. The present research tries to clarify the more reasonable temperature-time curve of the standard fire curve and the external fire curve, or if neither of the curves is realistic. 16 scenarios were analysed in this study. Using CFD simulations in FDS, the adiabatic surface temperature of the structural parts could be established. The adiabatic surface temperatures were then used as input in the FEM calculation program TASEF to calculate the temperatures of structural elements of a mono glazed balcony during a fire. The results imply that the max temperatures of the steel members of the mono glazed balcony analysed are generally lower than the temperatures of the external temperature-time curve. In a worst-case scenario where the structural member is located just adjacent to the fire source, the max temperature can be higher than the temperature of the standard temperature-time curve. The balcony slab reaches max temperatures between the external temperature-time curve and the standard temperature-time curve. The temperature within the slab is below 500 °C at a depth of 15 mm and according to the 500 °C isotherm method presented in SS-EN 1992-1-2, concrete that has a temperature lower than 500 °C has not been damaged by the fire. Further studies are needed to establish whether the external temperature-time curve or the standard temperature-time curve is to be used when designing the fire resistance of the load-bearing structure of mono glazed balconies. A suggestion for further studies is to conduct fire tests of a fire within a mono glazed balcony. Such results could then be compared to the results of this study and hopefully, lead to conclusions that are needed for a complete establishment of which temperature-time curve that should be used.
Under det tidigare gällande regelverket boverkets konstruktionsregler, BKR, dimensionerades brandmotståndet för den bärande konstruktionen av enkelinglasade balkonger med testmetoden SP fire 105. När BKR ersattes av boverkets föreskrifter och allmänna råd om tillämpning av europeiska konstruktionsstandarder, EKS, tillsammans med Eurokoderna, slutade man att använda SP fire 105 och började istället använda nominella temperatur-/tidförlopp. I tidigare versioner av EKS föreskrevs det att dimensionering enligt klassificering ska utföras med en brandexponering enligt standardtemperatur/-tidkurvan (ISO 834). Men i och med upphörandet av BKR år 2011, genomfördes en överenskommelse mellan Balkongförening och Boverket där man bestämde att den bärande konstruktionen för enkelinglasade balkonger och öppna balkonger skulle få dimensioneras med exponeringskurvan för utvändig brand istället för standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan. Dimensionering enligt exponeringskurvan för utvändig brand resulterar i en dimensionerande temperatur på 680 °C för brandteknisk klass R30, istället för en temperatur på 842 °C vid dimensionering med standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan. Vid införandet av EKS 11 år 2019 skedde en förändring i föreskrifterna gällande branddimensionering av bärande konstruktioner. I EKS 11 framgår det explicit att byggnadsdelar vilka är placerade inom inglasade balkonger inte bör betraktas som utvändiga byggnadsdelar. Detta medför att den bärande konstruktionen för enkelinglasade balkonger inte längre kan dimensioneras enligt exponeringskurvan för utvändig brand, utan måste dimensioneras enligt standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan. Denna studie syftar till att klargöra vilken temperatur som är rimlig att använda vid dimensionering av den bärande konstruktionen för enkelinglasade balkonger. Är den tidigare exponeringskurvan för utvändig brand mer rimlig, eller är föreskriften om att använda standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan motiverad? I studien har 16 scenarion analyserats med hjälp av CFD beräkningar i simuleringsprogrammet FDS, och med hjälp av FEM beräkningar i simuleringsprogrammet TASEF. Med FDS beräknades den adiabatiska yttemperaturen för den bärande konstruktionen, vilken sedan användes som indata i TASEF för att beräkna temperaturen i den bärande konstruktionen. Maxtemperaturen på konstruktionselementen som utgörs av stål uppnår generellt temperaturer som understiger temperaturen för exponeringskurvan vid utvändig brand. I ett ”worst-case” scenario där brandkällan står i direkt anslutning till en stålkonstruktion, kan temperaturer uppnås vilka överstiger temperaturen i standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan. Maxtemperaturen på balkongplattan är högre än temperaturen i exponeringskurvan vid utvändig brand, men lägre än temperaturen i standardtemperatur-/tidkurvan. 15 mm in i balkongplattan understiger temperaturen på betongen 500 °C. Enligt 500 °C isotermmetoden som är publicerad i SS-EN 1992-1-2 innebär detta förenklat att all betong på ett djup överstigande 15 mm har kvar sin fulla bärförmåga. En slutsats är att det krävs vidare studier för att kunna fastställa vilket nominellt temperatur-/tidförlopp som borde användas vid dimensionering av den bärande konstruktionen för enkelinglasade balkonger. Ett förslag på vidare studier är att utföra brandtester på en enkelinglasad balkong, varav resultaten sedan kan jämföras med resultaten i denna studie. Sådana resultat skulle förhoppningsvis möjliggöra ett fastställande av vilket nominellt temperatur-/tidförlopp som bör användas vid dimensionering av den bärande konstruktionen för enkelinglasade balkonger.

Abstract:
In this study, the load bearing behavior of piled raft foundations is investigated performing laboratory and field tests. Piled raft foundation of a multi storey building was also instrumented and monitored in order to study the load sharing mechanism of piled raft foundations. A small reinforced concrete piled raft of 2.3 m square supported by four mini piles at the corners was loaded and contribution of the raft support up to 41 % of the total load was observed. The soil was stiff fissured Ankara clay with no ground water. A building founded on a piled raft foundation was instrumented and monitored using earth pressure cells beneath the raft during its construction period. The foundation soil was a deep graywacke highly weathered at the upper 10 m with no ground water. The proportion of load that was carried by the raft was 21 to 24 % of the total load near the edge and 44 to 56 % under the core. In the laboratory tests, model aluminum piles with outerinner diameters of 2218 mm and a length of 200 mm were used. The raft was made of steel plate with plan dimensions of 176 mm x 176 mm and a thickness of 10 mm. The model piles were instrumented with strain gages to monitor pile loads. Model piled raft configurations with different number of piles were tested. The behavior of a single pile and the plain raft were also investigated. The soil in the model tests was half and half sand &ndash
kaolinite mixture. It has been observed that when a piled raft is loaded gradually, piles take more load initially and after they reach their full capacity additional loads are carried by raft. The proportion of load that was carried by the raft decreases with the increasing number of piles and the load per pile is decreased. Center, edge and corner piles are not loaded equally under rafts. It has been found that rafts share foundation loads at such levels that should not be ignored.

Full text
Abstract:
Pakeha identity has long been problematic, caught in a straddling stance between European co-ordinates of origin, and life in Aotearoa. This has been particularly evident over the last three decades: with the rise of tino rangatiratanga, Pakeha identity has undergone something of a crisis. Group identity, especially in such periods of crisis, requires �narratives� that re-imagine being and belonging. Poetry by Pakeha both displays the problem with identity at the cross cultural threshold between Maori and Pakeha, asking � what happens when Pakeha engage cross-culturally with te ao Maori, appropriating te reo Maori and drawing on Maoritanga, to re-vision and reconfigure identity? And how does such an approach shape the imagining of Pakeha identity?� I study, in parallel, the cross-cultural poetry of James K. Baxter and Glen Colquhoun in relation to these questions. Borrowing a conceptual metaphor from Colin McCahon, I examine these cross-cultural poems in detail as �load-bearing structures�. I pay particular attention to the way in which, in purpose, design and materials, they function to re-imagine Pakeha identity in reciprocal relationship with te ao Maori. Aware of the problems of culture-crossing, at the outset I establish a historical and interpretive framework for the poetry. Furthermore, I discuss the question of appropriation, arguing for an ethical distinction between appropriation and misappropriation based on a cross-cultural relationship of faithful and reciprocal engagement. I conclude that Baxter and Colquhoun are singular and radical in their reconfiguration of Pakeha identity. Baxter embraces te ao Maori in a direct challenge to Pakeha nationalism, prescribing the necessary corrective of the tuakana-teina dynamic to Pakeha identity and its relationship with te ao Maori. Writing after the Maori renaissance, Glenn Colquhoun irreverently opens up a further reconfiguration of cross-cultural relationship, pushing both Maori and Pakeha beyond a cultural dichotomy towards a mutually defining complementarity. Both place themselves on the cultural threshold of language, embracing the tensions of the cross-cultural scenario. The result is cross-cultural poetry, load-bearing structures that manifest the tension and ambivalence of the settler culture�s straddling identity, enacting what it is to be Pakeha.

Abstract:
This paper presents comprehensive test measurements for gas journal bearings with damping structures of a bump foil layer and/or a polymer layer. A one-pad top foil forms the bearing surface, under which the bearing structure and a bearing housing are located. Test bearings include gas foil bearings (GFBs), gas polymer bearings (GPBs), and gas foil-polymer bearings (GFPBs). In addition, three metal shims were employed to create wedge effects in the GFPBs. Firstly, static load-deflection tests of test bearings estimate the radial assembly clearance, which is measured to be ∼200 μm. Secondly, shake dynamic loading tests identify frequency-dependent dynamic characteristics. An electromagnetic shaker provides flat bearing specimens with one-degree-of-freedom vertical dynamic loading at excitation frequencies reaching 800 Hz. The bearing structures of GFB, GPB, and GFPB were measured to have resonance frequencies near 200 Hz. The GFPB has the lowest stiffness coefficients, which also increased with increasing excitation frequency. In addition, it has higher loss factor than those of GFB, which decreases with increasing excitation frequency. Therefore, GFPB was measured to exhibit a higher structural damping and lower stiffness than GFB. Lastly, the electric motor driving tests examine the rotordynamic stability performance. A permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor drives a PM rotor supported on a pair of test journal bearings. The rotor has a diameter of 40 mm, length of 240 mm, and weight of 19.6 N. Two orthogonally positioned displacement sensors record the horizontal and vertical rotor motions. Test results indicate that sub-synchronous rotor motions for GFPBs showed the lowest amplitudes < 28 μm with the WFRs ∼0.14, and operated up to the highest rotating speed of 85 krpm with the OSS of 69 krpm, compared to GFBs and GPBs. In addition, the effects of mechanical preload and bearing clearance on the rotordynamic performance are examined for GFPBs. As a result, the GFPBs with mechanical preloads enhanced the rotordynamic performance with no subsynchronous motions up to the maximum rotor speed of 88 krpm, and the bearing friction characteristics as well. Furthermore, they showed comparable rotordynamic performance to three-pad GFBs from a past literature, even with larger bearing clearances and small mechanical preloads.

Abstract:
The authors have been developed a system for base isolation of a wooden house and a prefabricate house. It consists of sliding bearings and laminated rubber bearings. There are two types of sliding bearings, one has the coefficient of friction of 0.046, the other has 0.06. Each of sliding bearings supports 30 ∼ 40kN of vertical load, the surface pressure of the sliding shoe is 10 ∼ 12 N/mm2 (10∼12MPa). The horizontal stiffness of the laminated rubber bearing is 38.5N/mm. For base isolation of an ordinary wooden house, 12 ∼ 16 sliding bearings and 4 ∼ 6 laminated rubber bearings are used. If the mass of a wooden house is 40ton and it is supported by 16 sliding bearings of the coefficient of friction of 0.046 and attached by 4 laminated rubber bearings with the horizontal stiffness of 38.5 N/mm, therefore it has 0.249 of the equivalent damping factor and 3.2 second of the natural period. As for the base isolated houses which are used this system, 500 houses have been constructed in Japan currently by the August of 2002 (Takahashi, 2002). As an advanced system of this base isolation system, we have developed a new type of the base isolation system of sliding bearing using silicone lubrication materials and rubber spring devices.

Full text
Abstract:
Airships have the intrinsic advantages of Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) vehicles: minimal energy consumption and Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) characteristics. Due to these advantages, significant efforts are being taken in order to investigate new applications and technical improvements. More specifically, there is a renewed interest in large airships for heavy payload transportation and for stratospheric airships. The design of large airships is a big challenge, especially when considering the structural point of view, since big volumes imply high loads, and since light weight is a major requirement for this type of vehicles. In this context, a light-weight structure is proposed by applying the structural Tensairity concept. A Tensairity beam consists of a rigid air beam designed on the basis of complete functional separation of the different structural elements, allowing for a maximum optimization. In this paper, the justification of the feasibility of applying Tensairity components in airships is discussed based on two criteria. The first criterion is the justification of the need of a lightweight structure by a state of the art analysis and a study of the principal characteristics of the existing types of LTA vehicles structures. The second criterion is a preliminary technical analysis, which aims to clarify if the load bearing behavior of airships is suited for the application of the Tensairity concept. Moreover, the bases for the development of the concept for the LTA vehicles structures are established. The advantages and drawbacks of the traditional rigid airships structure in comparison with a non-rigid structure has been analyzed, which conclusion is that the use of a rigid structure is convenient for large airships, since it reduces significantly the stresses of the envelope, but at the same time decreases the payload efficiency due to the addition of the structure’s weight. Moreover, the analysis of the load bearing behavior suggests the technical feasibility of applying Tensairity components, since airships have to withstand high bending moments and Tensairity structures are appropriate for withstanding such loads. Finally, the principal guidelines for defining the various load cases and for modeling Tensairity beams have been defined. In order to confirm the hypothesis of the suitability of Tensairity structures on airships, extensive research on design, analysis and optimization of Tensairity beam grids in typical airship loading conditions is needed.

Full text
Abstract:
Sloping-sided structures have been used in ice-infested waters to reduce ice loads by inducing flexural failure in the incoming level ice, which can be a fraction of the crushing load of the same level ice on vertical walls [1]. Croasdale’s model [2] has been widely used to predict this type of ice loading, which compares well with available field data, such as that measured at the Confederation Bridge [3]. In Croasdale’s formulation, the problem is idealized as a semi-infinite beam on an elastic foundation and neglects the effects of second-order bending and the edge moment arising from eccentricity of axial loadings, i.e. the distance between the point of ice-structure contact and the centroidal axis of the beam. For thin ice, the edge moment effect is indeed negligible due to the small moment arm. However, the edge moment influence on the structural load increases with the ice thickness, as reported in [4]. This suggests that Croasdale’s model may be inadequate for ice thickness beyond a certain threshold. In this paper, we focus on the plane breaking load of thick ice, taking into account the second order bending of the beam as well as the edge moment effect. We also account for the local crushing of level ice that comes into contact with the sloping structure, which creates a surface parallel to the slope prior to the bending failure of ice sheet. This local crushing is assumed to occur until a sufficient surface area is created to provide the bearing capacity required to induce bending failure in the beam. As a result, the eccentricity of axial loading is reduced, lowering the effects of the edge moment and consequently, the predicted load. Taking the above effects into account, the governing equation and the corresponding deflection equation of the refined model are reformulated, and the system of non-linear equations solved with numerically with the Newton-Raphson method. Additionally, the competition between different failure modes, i.e. flexural, crushing and shear, of a level ice encountering a sloping structure is briefly investigated. It is shown that flexural failure remains the dominant mode of failure even for thick ice, for various practical slope angles, ice material properties and ice-structure contact properties.

Abstract:
This paper described the results of the static loading tests using a half-scale thick rubber bearing to investigate the fundamental characteristics such as horizontal and vertical restoring force of a rubber bearing applied to a Sodium-cooled-Fast-Reactor (SFR). Since the SFR has thin-walled component structures, a seismic isolation system is employed to mitigate the seismic force. A rubber bearing with thick rubber layers is used for the seismic isolation system applied to the SFR, it was developed aiming for isolation of not only horizontal response acceleration, but also vertical response acceleration. The thick rubber bearing of 1600 mm in diameter full-scale was designed to provide about a 10000 kN rated load with a horizontal natural period of 3.4 s and a vertical one of 0.125 s. Moreover, a linear strain limit of the thick rubber bearing was designed to accept a horizontal displacement of 700 mm or more in order to ensure a double safety margin for response displacements against a design basis ground motion. The static loading tests were performed using a half-scale thick rubber bearing with a diameter of 800 mm to investigate the horizontal/vertical stiffness, damping ratio, a linear strain limit in horizontal direction and a tensile yield stress in the vertical direction. The fundamental characteristic of rubber bearings employed to the SFR and the validity of a design formula became clear through the static loading tests.

Abstract:
<p>Despite the recent amount of theoretical and technological developments, structural robustness is still an issue of controversy being underlined by several structural failures in the past. Current design codes point out different strategies, among which strategies to limit damages due to the collapse of a load-bearing member by applying prescriptive design and detailing rules. For example for consequence class 2 structures EN1991-1-7 defines a risk class CC2b for which also vertical ties are required. However, the background of the design values of vertical ties in current codes is not clear and their adequacy should be validated. Moreover effects such as membrane action and Vierendeel action are important to consider when assessing structural robustness and are difficult to incorporate when applying only traditional design methodologies. To this extent a set of numerical simulations have been executed in this contribution in order to verify the progressive collapse behaviour of RC frames including the response of the vertical ties in the columns.</p>

Abstract:
Three dimensional (3D) seismic isolation device has been developed to use for the base isolation system of the heavy building like a nuclear reactor building. The developed device is the 3D seismic isolation device that consists of the laminated rubber bearing as a horizontal isolation device and the rolling seal type air spring as the vertical isolation device in series. In this research, the 3D seismic isolation device reduction model whose scale is 1/10 is made and the workability of the device by the horizontal and vertical dynamic load is examined. Two experiment parameters are considered. One is the case that the structure of the part that the horizontal load and the vertical load contact is pin condition and the other is the case of the roller condition. As a result of the examination, the workability of the vertical direction is confirmed when the horizontal load acts. The pressure resistant ability test for the air spring is performed by the monotonic pressurization. As the result, it is confirmed that pressure resistant ability improved by restricting the side deformation of the air spring and that the material of the existing air spring can withstand high pressure use sufficiently. As the result, it is confirmed that the developed 3D seismic isolation device is applicable to the actual plant.

Abstract:
This paper describes the results of static loading tests using a half-scale thick rubber bearing to investigate ultimate properties application for a Sodium-cooled-Fast-Reactor (SFR). The thick rubber bearing, which has a rubber layer roughly three times thicker in comparison with conventional rubber bearings, has been developed by the authors to ensure seismic safety margins for components installed in the reactor building, and to reduce seismic response in the vertical direction as well as horizontal direction. The thick rubber bearings, 1600 mm in diameter at full scale, have been designed to provide a rated load of about 10000 kN with a horizontal natural period of 3.4 s and a vertical natural period of about 0.133 s. The fundamental restoring-force characteristics of the thick rubber bearings has been already cleared through the static loading tests using a half-scale thick rubber bearing, 800 mm in diameter. However, variations of the restoring force characteristics and ultimate properties have not been obtained yet. These validations are essential from the point of view of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) for a base isolated nuclear plant as well as to verify the structural integrity of the thick rubber bearing. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the variation of the stiffness and damping ratio concerning restoring force characteristics and the breaking strain or stress as ultimate properties through static loading tests using the half-scale thick rubber bearings.

Abstract:
<p>Timber is one of the few renewable materials that improves its structural properties when combined with concrete. The composite of timber and concrete increase stiffness and fire protection, unlike timber when used alone. In contrast to concrete structures, timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures reduce the carbon footprint and the specific weight of a building. At the Chair of Hybrid Structures - Structural Concrete of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg a moment-resistant TCC joint was developed for multi-story frames, which can be used as a structural system for high-rise buildings. Facts like a modular construction, a fast assembly and a plug-in connection were aspects that shaped the development. A high rotational stiffness and load-bearing at the composite joint was also achieved using high strength beech laminated veneer lumber (LVL).</p><p>The TCC frame works on its own and in combination with other bracing systems. Initial investigations on the load-bearing behavior were carried out using numerical analysis followed by experiments on real-sized joints in further studies. First results will be presented in this paper. The developed TCC joint as part of structural systems offers a high variability and can thus contribute to tomorrow’s sustainable vertical growth of cities.</p>
