Nonlinear Stability Analysis of Thin-Walled Pier

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shell element was used to simulate thin-walled piers. Mander constitutive model was adopted for analysis about the material nonlinearity. By finite displacement theory the geometric nonlinearity effect was reckoned in stability analysis based on Updated Lagrangian formulation. Nonlinear stability analysis during different construction stages indicates that the stability of pier in cantilever stage is weakest. Considered the dual non-linearity, the stability coefficient descends distinctly.
