Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tube structure is one of the important load-bearing systems of modern high-rise building.The research indicate that concrete-filled steel tube structure has a good static and seismic performance,and concrete-filled steel tubular component is always used as axial compression and compression-bending component.However,what about the mechanical behavior of this combinational structure (concrete-filled steel tubular columns with steel bone built-in) So there is a new type of special-shaped cross-section of composite structure,that is the T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns with steel bone.The research about this structure is less throughout domestic and foreign.So the axial compressive experiments of six T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns, five with and one without steel bone, were carried out. The effects of tube confining factor, bone indicator on the axial compressive behavior of the columns are analyzed. Experimental results indicate that the ultimate strength of the T-shaped steel tubular stub columns with steel bone increases, can be increased by 71.7%.And that the setting of steel bone improves the confinement of the concrete core, delays or even avoids the local buckling of the steel tube before the stress attains the yield strength. The ductility of the columns is also greatly increased.And at last in this paper, use of static equilibrium conditions and limit yield conditions,and in reference to literature[1],the calculation equation of compression capacity of this combinational column is derived.Moreover,calculation results according to the formula in this paper are in good agreement with the experimental results. The conclusions might be used as reference to structural design and plan.

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests of 1:100 rigid model of fish-shaped roof structures were carried out. The mean, fluctuating (RMS) and peak pressure coefficients, the local shape coefficient distributions on fish-shaped roofs were presented and discussed. It was found that negative pressures (suctions) occurred on the most areas on the roofs, and high negative pressure coefficients occurred on the eaves and cantilevered roof parts. When wind flows blew along the corridors under the roofs, the flows enhanced suctions on the surfaces of the roofs, and the suctions on the lower surface were greater than those on the upper surfaces, positive pressures occurred on that area after superposition of wind actions on the two sides. The roof eaves and regions above the corridors experienced the worst RMS pressure coefficients and the worst minimum pressure coefficients. The distribution characteristics of the worst RMS and minimum pressure coefficients were found to be quite similar to those of the mean pressure coefficients. The results obtained from the experimental investigation are expected to be useful in the wind-resistant design of complex roof structures in typhoon-prone regions.

Abstract: Heliostat is the key part of Solar Tower power station, which requires extremely high accuracy in use. But it’s sensitive to gust because of its light structure, so effect of wind load should be taken into account in design. Since structure of heliostat is unusual and different from common ones, experimental investigation on rigid heliostat model using technology of surface pressure mensuration to test 3-dimensional wind loads in wind tunnel was conducted. The paper illustrates distribution and characteristics of reflector’s mean and fluctuating wind pressure while wind direction angle varied from 0° to 180° and vertical angle varied from 0° to 90°. Moreover, a finite element model was constructed to perform calculation on wind-induced dynamic response. The results show that the wind load power spectral change rulers are influenced by longitudinal wind turbulence and vortex and are related with Strouhal number; the fluctuating wind pressures between face and back mainly appear positive correlation, and the correlation coefficients at longitudinal wind direction are smaller than those at lateral direction; the fluctuating wind pressures preferably agree with Gaussian distribution at smaller vertical angle and wind direction angle. The wind-induced response and its spectrums reveal that: when vertical angle is small, the background responsive values of reflector’s different parts are approximately similar; in addition, multi-phased resonant response occurring at the bottom. With the increase of , airflow separates at the near side and reunites at the other, as produces vortex which enhances dynamic response at the upper part.
