Finite Element Analysis Of Dual-angle Variable of Four Steel Angle Composite Joint with Steel Materials in Civil Engineering Yuzhuo Jia, Li Zhao School of Civil Engineering Northeast Dianli University Jilin, China jiayz6087@163.com, zhaoli6654@yahoo.com.cn Keywords: dual-angle, four steel angle, nodes, gusset plate, finite element simulation, ultimate bearing capacity Abstract.
Conclusion Finite element simulation based on the composite joint, the following four kinds of conclusions can be drawn through the analysis as a practical engineering design and construction of reference. 1 The node load path: the loads between dual-angle and four steel angle pass by the cross-shaped gusset plate and connecting angle, and the cross-shaped gusset plate and connecting angle to withstand the loads. 2 The main failure mode is strength failure when the node compressed, dual-angle has reached the ultimate strength of steel, the other angles and gusset plate did not reach the material yield strength. 3 The gusset plate and connecting angle suffered load or less during loading process, the gusset plate forced region are the middle area of connecting. 4 The ultimate bearing capacity of node is, approximately 3.045 times the design load.Node design is relatively conservative, gusset plate underutilized, and design of node is large, by reducing the thickness of the gusset plate

Civil engineering is traditionally focused on construction.
The topics of the conference include all aspects met in civil engineering, from risk assessment, rehabilitation of buildings to construction management and legislation.

Photosensitive single mode optical fibers have been embedded in composite sample in order to be used in optical sensors which monitor the health of civil engineering structure.
These materials are used increasingly in civil engineering due to a high number of features which make them attractive for use in bridge decks.
But these techniques can’t give an in–situ and real time evaluation of civil structures.

The monitoring, modeling, and model updating of civil infrastructures are vital in maintaining new design and maintenance standards.
Introduction Civil structures are continuously degraded due to unexpected loading, environmental changes and natural degradation of materials among other factors.
For monitoring of large-scale civil structures, an ambient vibration test (AVT) is deemed to be more feasible than a forced vibration test (FVT).
