Abstract: In the service of sliding isolated structure, the slip component damage degree determines the safety of sliding isolated structure. The seismic response analysis about a sliding isolated frame structures was obtained by the finite element analysis software SAP2000 at various loads and compared with the traditional structure. Seismic response differences between slip component of the different forms and number damage was studied. According to Teflon invalid and the displacement-limited of energy dissipation component invalid, the impact of seismic response owing to slip component damage was analyzed. It will provide a reference for the isolated building design, the effective maintenance and damage detection.

Abstract: Based on the 1.5MW cone cylinder wind turbine tower widely used at present, latticed concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) tower with three limbs was designed. The stress mechanism and failure process, hysteretic properties, bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity were studied by quasi-static test on the tower model. The results indicate that the hysteretic loops of the latticed CFST tower with three limbs present asymmetrical plump “spindle” and there is no obvious "pinch" phenomenon, which shows good seismic performance and energy dissipation capacity; and that owing to the latticed CFST tower with three limbs is asymmetric along the centroidal axis perpendicular to loading direction, plastic hinge finally appeared in the tower column foot which beared the largest force, the bottom web members were buckled and occur unstable failure. From the analysis it can be seen that the latticed CFST tower structure with three limbs has value of further research and promotion.

Abstract: Take single layer lattice shell hinge support model, elastic supporting model and whole structure model as object of study, systematic study the working performance of the lattice shell roof structure under different calculation model. Comparison and analysis of various calculation model of static and dynamic, aiming at the lower adopt concrete structure upper span space structure of this kind of composite structure, using different material combination structure damping ratio of practical calculation formula, separately calculated hinge support model and the whole structure model of dynamic response, results show that consider composite structure damping ratio and the whole structure modeling of the calculation model more accord with engineering practice.

Abstract: In order to forecast shear bearing capacity of reinforced concrete frame abnormal node on the basis of analyzing feedforward neural network theory, the complex nonlinear relationship, which is between shear bearing capacity of reinforced concrete frame abnormal node under the low cyclic loading and each major influence factor, is simulated by BP neural network, and the neural network prediction model is built. The comparison with the result of experiment has brought satisfying result. The method of shear bearing capacity forecast of reinforced concrete frame abnormal node based on the BP neural network theory is proved feasible and applicable.

Abstract: It was well known that expansion joint of a bridge was a weak part of structure, it led to early structure destroy and reduced the bridge life. Basing on Life-Cycle Design of bridge structure , a new type of optimum bridge structure --- Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge was put forward. Firstly the new bridge structure was defined and its performance was described. Then several problems that included temperature effect, the interaction of structure-soil etc were discussed about the application of the new bridge structure. Finally the conclusion is the Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge is a kind of durable bridge structure that has rational mechanical performance and great practical value.

Abstract: In order to study the influence of complex structure parameters uncertainty on its aerostatic stability, the method of response surface was adopted and random variables that have significant impact on the dependent variables was selected to fit response surface. Based on the above mentioned method, stochastic analysis of aerostatic stability of a self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge was analyzed. The result shows that randomness of material and geometrical size have obvious influence to aerostatic instability critical wind of the self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges and randomness of the cross area and density of girder are most sensitive to it. The research can provide references for the self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge structure analysis and give the corresponding idea for the random parameter uncertainty analysis of complex structures.

Abstract: In order to research the mechanical property of angle steel reinforced concrete beams, 7 specimens were designed for pure torsion experiment. And three running parameters which are sectional steel disposition, thickness of concrete cover and concrete strength are taken into consideration. Base on the test, the torque-torsion angle curve, torque-strain curve, cracking torque, ultimate torque and other important data are obtain. The influences of those parameters are analyzed.

Abstract: According to the basic idea of similarity theory, the pile model in saturated transverse isotropic clay is determined. It imitates the moment of different positions along the pile and acceleration of each test point on the soil surface, under the same largest exciting force with different frequencies on the top of the pile. The results of experiment show that the variation trends of the moment are the same for different frequencies of excitation, looking like an inverse S. Acceleration value of each test point on the soil surface decreases with decline of the exciting frequency.

Abstract: Batten plates can play a significant role in reducing the bearing capacity of the entire component and preventing the upward warpage deformation in the opening section. The specific number of batten plates should be calculated for the open cold-formed thin-walled steel structure. By theoretical analysis, this study develops the flexural-torsional buckling formula for the open hat-section cold-formed thin-walled axially compressed members with batten plates. The calculating results show that, according to the configuration rule with 40 iy space between batten plates along the opening direction in the open thin-walled steel members, the warpage deformation will be effectively prevented in the opening direction. Besides, the bearing capacity of the entire member will be increased. The proposed calculation methods can actively complement the existing code.

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the fatigue performance of a new type solid round rigid suspender in a high-speed railway bridge. The relevant information about the model design, manufacture, loading procedure and test scheme is presented. The model test results show that the maximum axial stress amplitude are less than the allowable fatigue stress amplitude for most of the measuring points, and no crack occurs on the short and the long suspender models’ body and connection structural detail after 2 million fatigue cycles, the fatigue performance meets the requirement. The bearing capacity test results after fatigue test show that the short and the long suspender models entering plastic state and without fracture under 131% and 119% of the test load. The suspenders’ bearing capacity meets the design requirement. This fatigue model test study shows that the design of the new type solid round rigid suspender is reasonable and safe.
