2010, 40(8): 1-5,26. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201008001
Abstract:
Cable supported structureis a clear definition for both structural members and features. Cable means the arched tension cables and supporteddenotes the effect of compression struts, while structure represents the upper layer in the whole structure. Based on introduction of structural concept, cable supported structures are defined as cable supported plane structure, separate cable supported spatial structure and inseparate cable supported spatial structure. Four new types of cable supported structures which are cable supported space trusses structure, cable supported concrete roof structure, cable supported barrel vault structure and cable supported arch-dome structure are presented in this paper. According to research work in this field of cable supported structure, three kinds of classifications which can be compatible to all research outcomes are proposed. The definition of cable supported structure is also recommended in this paper. Using this classification, cable supported structure can be defined as a clear integrity and can be applied in study, development and practice conveniently.

Abstract:
In order to preferably analyze damage mechanism of steel reinforced high strength and high performance concrete (SRHSHPC) columns subjected to seismic load, by comparing and analyzing the current several seismic damage models and based on hysteretic characteristics of SRHSHPC columns under low cyclic loading, it is established a seismic damage model suitable for SRHSHPC columns, which takes unloading stiffness degradation corresponding to maximum deformation and accumulated residual plastic deformation as damage parameters.Furthermore, based on existing experimental results, nonlinear regression analysis to damage model is made to determine related parameters of the model. Meanwhile, the influence of shear-span ratio, concrete strength and axialcompression ratio on the damage accumulation and development of SRHSHPC columns are analyzed. The results show that the damage of SRHSHPC columns develops faster with increasing of concrete strength and axial compression ratio during late loading stage; however, the ductility of SRHSHPC columns becomes better and the damage process becomes more smoothly with increasing of shear span ratio.

Zhou Ji, Duanmu Xuefeng, Wang Tao
2010, 40(8): 74-77. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201008017
Abstract:
One stadium roof structure consists of ladder-type elliptical paraboloid latticed shell with the form of double-layer Kewitte. The members of lower chord in the top layer keep continuous with the members of upper chord in the bottom layer. The state of these members turned from tension into press in the process of force transmission. It was studied the overall stability using linear and nonlinear buckling analyses. Some members of the shell had turned into plastic state before the critical point of buckling. But the structure still remained the carrying capacity simultaneously. The elastic-plasticity buckling began from the members of the overlap between the top layer and the bottom layer of the shell. The yield members lost the carrying capacity for load increment, which led to the overall buckling.

Abstract:
It is very easy to lead to off-center hitting when the gravity center of hammer and the top of the pile is not right or the drop hammer device frame is not vertical in a high strain dynamic test,which then produces a significant impact on the signals of sensors that are on a hammer and the side of a pile. This paper made simulation study of offcenter hitting for high strain dynamic test piles based on two different installation methods of sensors; it was analyzed in detail the reasonableness of two kinds of high strain dynamic tests and their correct installation schemes with an emphasis on the effects of off-center hitting to the speed of each part and strain of the pile. The simulation explains the phenomena found in the practice such as the strain severely affected by off-center hitting,and less impact on the speed,which corrects the misconception that big piles need more sensors to over the impact of the off-center hitting.

The results showed that UHTCC could effectively control crack width and increase axial compression ratio,which could raise the crack resistance capacity of the joint. Based on the test results,a theoretical formula of crack resistance capacity was proposed. The calculated results were compared with those of the test,and a good agreement was obtained.

Abstract:
Reliability analyses are made for shear capacity of RC members designed by GB 500102002, ACI 31808, EN 1992-1-1: 2004 and CSA A23.32004. In the analyses, load, material strength and geometrical parameter are described by probability model and statistical parameters provided by relevant study reports and literatures. Model uncertainty of calculation formulae of shear capacity is determined based on the experimental results of shear capacity of 415 reinforced concrete members without stirrups and 178 members with stirrups at home and abroad. It is concluded that reliability index of shear of reinforced concrete members without or with stirrups designed according to the code in China is larger than that in Canada, but smaller than that in America which is largest for members with stirrups and Europe which is largest for members without stirrups. Most members basically meet the requirements of target reliability index, except for reinforced concrete members without stirrups under point loads based on Chinese, American, European and Canadian code and members with stirrups based on Chinese code.
