The results of the calculations demonstrate that the yield strength of the steel the bars are made of influences considerably the equilibrium path of the compressed bars within the range of postyielding deformations Comparative diagrams of structural behaviour (loading paths) of thin{walled sec- tions under investigation for different strain rates are presented. Some conclusions and remarks concerning the strain rate influence are derived. Keywords: Reinforcing bars, inelastic buckling, yield strength, tensil strength 1. Introduction The impact of some exceptional loads, e.g. seismic loads, on a structure may re- sult in the occurrence of post{critical states. Therefore the National Standards regulations for designing reinforced structures on seismically active areas e.g. EC8 [15] require the ductility of a structure to be examined on a cross{sectional level, and additionally, the structures should demonstrate a suitable level of global duc- tility. The results of the examinations of members of reinforced concrete structures show that inelastic buckling of longitudinal reinforcement bars occurs in the state of post{critical deformations, [1, 2, 4, 7], and in some cases it occurs yet within the range of elastic deformations [8].

  • 28 Combined Bending and Compression
    CE 479 Wood Design Lecture Notes JAR Combined Bending and Compression (Sec 7.12 Text and NDS 01 Sec. 3.9) These members are referred to as beam-columns. The basic straight line interaction for bending and axial tension (Eq. 3.9-1, NDS 01) has been modified as shown in Section 3.9.2 of the NDS 01, Eq. (3.9-3) for the case of bending about one or both principal axis and axial compression. This equation is intended to represent the following conditions: • Column Buckling • Lateral Torsional Buckling of Beams • Beam-Column Interaction (P, M). The uniaxial compressive stress, fc = P/A, where A represents the net sectional area as per 3.6.3 28 CE 479 Wood Design Lecture Notes JAR The combination of bending and axial compression is more critical due to the P-∆ effect. The bending produced by the transverse loading causes a deflection ∆. The application of the axial load, P, then results in an additional moment P*∆; this is also know as second order effect because the added bending stress is not calculated directly. Instead, the common practice in design specifications is to include it by increasing (amplification factor) the computed bending stress in the interaction equation. 29 CE 479 Wood Design Lecture Notes JAR The most common case involves axial compression combined with bending about the strong axis of the cross section.

Miller All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Buckling Failure Boundary for Cylindrical Tubes in Pure Bending Daniel Peter Miller Department of Mechanical Engineering Master of Science Bending of thin-walled tubing to a prescribed bend radius is typically performed by bending it around a mandrel of the desired bend radius, corrected for spring back. By eliminating the mandrel, costly setup time would be reduced, permitting multiple change of radius during a production run, and even intermixing different products on the same line. The principal challenge is to avoid buckling, as the mandrel and shoe are generally shaped to enclose the tube while bending.

  • Column Analysis and Design
    Chapter 9: Column Analysis and Design Introduction Columns are usually considered as vertical structural elements, but they can be positioned in any orientation (e.g. diagonal and horizontal compression elements in a truss). Columns are used as major elements in trusses, building frames, and sub-structure supports for bridges (e.g. piers). • Columns support compressive loads from roofs, floors, or bridge decks. • Columns transmit the vertical forces to the foundations and into the subsoil. The work of a column is simpler than the work of a beam. • The loads applied to a column are only axial loads. • Loads on columns are typically applied at the ends of the member, producing axial compressive stresses. • However, on occasion the loads acting on a column can include axial forces, transverse forces, and bending moments (e.g. beam-columns). Columns are defined by the length between support ends. • Short columns (e.g. footing piers). • Long columns (e.g. bridge and freeway piers). Virtually every common construction material is used for column construction. • Steel, timber, concrete (reinforced and pre-stressed), and masonry (brick, block, and stone). The selection of a particular material may be made based on the following. • Strength (material) properties (e.g. steel vs. wood). • Appearance (circular, square, or I-beam). • Accommodate the connection of other members. • Local production capabilities (i.e. the shape of the cross section). Columns are major structural components that significantly affect the building’s overall performance and stability. • Columns are designed with larger safety factors than other structural components. 9.1 • Failure of a joist or beam may be localized and may not severely affect the building’s integrity (e.g.

  • Local Buckling Analysis of Steel Truss Bridge Under Seismic Loading
    LOCAL BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF STEEL TRUSS BRIDGE UNDER SEISMIC LOADING Eiki Yamaguchi1, Keita Yamada2 Abstract In the 2004 Mid Niigata Prefecture Earthquake, a steel truss bridge was damaged: the lower chord member underwent local buckling. The axial force in that member is not necessarily compression-dominant: tensile axial force is also expected. Since many steel bridge piers were subjected to local buckling in the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, the criterion for local bucking in the member under axial compression has been studied rather extensively. However, the local buckling in the member under the other states of axial force has not. In the present study, the local buckling in the lower chord member of a truss bridge is to be looked into. To that end, the existing criterion for local buckling in terms of average strain is tested for the case when tensile yielding precedes compression, failing to confirm its applicability. Then the criterion is modified by introducing the updated average strain. The seismic response analysis is then conducted to show the significance of the proposed criterion. Introduction One of the largest earthquakes in the recorded history, the Tohoku Earthquake, just hit Japan in March, 2011, causing very serious damage in the eastern part of Japan. Yet the memory of the damage to structures in the 1995 Kobe Earthquake is still fresh and vivid for many structural engineers. Between the two large earthquakes, numerous earthquakes occurred as well, some of which were quite large and comparable to the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. The damage in each big earthquake has posed a new challenge for engineers; some of them are yet to be solved.

  • Impact of Ballast Fouling on the Mechanical Properties of Railway Ballast: Insights from Discrete Element Analysis
    Impact of Ballast Fouling on the Mechanical Properties of Railway Ballast: Insights from Discrete Element Analysis By Luyu Wang Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics McGill University Montréal, Québec, Canada July 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering © Luyu Wang, 2020 Abstract Ballast fouling is a major factor that contributes to the reduction of the shear strength of railway ballast, which can further influence the stability of railway equipment. Depending on the railway function and location, the major sources of ballast fouling are the infiltration of foreign fine material and ballast material degradation. The discrete element method (DEM) is an efficient way to capture the mechanical behavior of particles under various loading conditions. It has been successfully applied to investigate the mechanical behavior of ballast assembly and fouled ballast in the previous practices. In this study, a discrete element model is developed in PFC3D to simulate the stress-strain behavior of fresh ballast assembly tested in the direct shear test. A series of sensitivity analyses of the different parameters are conducted to better understand the corresponding effect on the stress- strain behavior of ballast assembly. An efficient approach to simulate the foreign material induced fouling of ballast and capture the mechanical behavior of the material at various levels of void contamination index (VCI) is proposed. The approach is based on the concept that the foreign fouling material will not only change the inter-particle friction angle but also the inter-particle contact stiffness. Therefore, both the effective modulus and the inter-particle friction coefficient are adjusted based on the validated fresh ballast contact model.

Under first Dundurs parameter (dimensionless) tension, the film may fracture by growing channel cracks. The second Dundurs parameter (dimensionless) driving force for channel cracking (i.e., the energy release opening displacement (m) rate) increases significantly for compliant substrates. phase angle of mode mix (radian) Moreover, channel cracking may be accompanied by Poisson’s ratio (dimensionless) interfacial delamination. For a film on a relatively compliant 2 substrate, a critical interface toughness is predicted, which stress (N/m ) separates stable and unstable delamination. For a film on a relatively stiff substrate, however, a channel crack grows with Subscripts no delamination when the interface toughness is greater than a f film critical value. An effective energy release rate for the steady- i interface state growth of a channel crack is defined to account for the s substrate influence of interfacial delamination on both the fracture ss steady state driving force and the resistance, which can be significantly higher than the energy release rate assuming no delamination. Alternatively, when the film is under compression, it tends to INTRODUCTION buckle. Two buckling modes have been observed, one with interfacial delamination (i.e., buckle-delamination) and the Integrated structures with mechanically soft components have other without delamination (i.e., wrinkling).
