Book Non Linear Static and Cyclic Analysis of Steel Frames with Semi Rigid Connections

Download or read book Non Linear Static and Cyclic Analysis of Steel Frames with Semi Rigid Connections written by Siu-Lai Chan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-05-19 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the discussion and studies of simple and efficient numerical procedures for large deflection and elasto-plastic analysis of steel frames under static and dynamic loading. In chapter 1, the basic fundamental behaviour and philosophy for design of structural steel is discussed, emphasising different modes of buckling and the inter-relationship between different types of analysis. In addition to this, different levels of refinement for non-linear analysis are described. An introduction is also given to the well-known P-&dgr; and P-&Dgr; effects. Chapter 2 presents the basic matrix method of analysis and gives several examples of linear analysis of semi-rigid pointed frames. It is evident from this that one must have a good understanding of first-order linear analysis before handling a second-order non-linear analysis. In chapter 3, the linearized bifurcation and second-order large deflection are compared and the detailed procedure for a second-order analysis based on the Newton-Raphson scheme is described. Chapter 4 introduces various solution schemes for tracing of post-buckling equilibrium paths and the Minimum Residual Displacement control method with arc-length load step control is employed for the post-buckling analysis of two and three dimensional structures. Chapter 5 addresses the non-linear behaviour and modelling of semi-rigid connections while several numerical functions for description of moment versus rotation curves of typical connection types are introduced. The scope of the work in chapter 6 covers semi-rigid connections and material yielding to the static analysis of steel frames. Chapter 7 studies the cyclic response of steel frames with semi-rigid joints and elastic material characteristics. In the last chapter the combined effects of semi-rigid connections and plastic hinges on steel frames under time-dependent loads are studied using a simple springs-in-series model. For computational effectiveness and efficiency, the concentrated plastic hinge concept is used throughout these studies.

Book Advanced Analysis for Three Dimensional Semi Rigid Steel Frames subjected to Static and Dynamic Loadings

Download or read book Advanced Analysis for Three Dimensional Semi Rigid Steel Frames subjected to Static and Dynamic Loadings written by Phu-Cuong Nguyen and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 9, , course: Advanced Steel Structures, language: English, abstract: This dissertation presents three various advanced analysis approaches which can capture accurately and efficiently the ultimate strength and behavior of steel framed structures with nonlinear beam-to-column connections subjected to static and dynamic loadings. Three major sources of nonlinearity are considered in the analyses as follows: (1) material nonlinearity; (2) geometric nonlinearity; and (3) connection nonlinearity. Three types of nonlinear beam-column element formulation considering both geometric and material nonlinearities are coded into two nonlinear structural analysis programs: (1) Nonlinear Structural Analysis Program (NSAP) – 2-D plastic-zone finite element; (2) Practical Advanced Analysis Program (PAAP) – 3-D refined plastic-hinge element and 3-D plastic-fiber element. Three types of steel frames analyzed by the proposed program are: (1) rigid frames – beam-to-column connections are fully rigid; (2) linear semi-rigid frames – beam-to-column connections have constant stiffness; and (3) nonlinear semi-rigid frames – beam-to-column connections have continuously variable stiffness. Three types of analysis can be performed are: (1) nonlinear inelastic static analysis; (2) nonlinear elastic and inelastic time-history analysis; and (3) free vibration analysis. Three main resources of damping are taken into account in the proposed programs are: (1) hysteretic damping due to inelastic material; (2) structural viscous damping employing Rayleigh damping; (3) hysteretic damping due to nonlinear beam-to-column connections. Two computer programs are developed: (1) Nonlinear Structural Analysis Program (NSAP) – written in the C++ programming language; (2) Practical Advanced Analysis Program (PAAP) – written in the FORTRAN 77 programming language. They are verified for accuracy and computational efficiency by comparing predicted results with those generated by the commercial finite element analysis packages of ABAQUS and SAP2000, and other results available in the literature. Through several numerical examples, the proposed program (PAAP) proves to be a reliable and efficient tool for daily practice design in lieu of using costly and time-consuming commercial software.

Book Buildings and Structures under Extreme Loads

Download or read book Buildings and Structures under Extreme Loads written by Chiara Bedon and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exceptional loads on buildings and structures may have different causes, including high-strain dynamic effects due to natural hazards, man-made attacks, and accidents, as well as extreme operational conditions (severe temperature variations, humidity, etc.). All of these aspects can be critical for specific structural typologies and/or materials that are particularly sensitive to external conditions. In this regard, dedicated and refined methods are required for their design, analysis, and maintenance under the expected lifetime. There are major challenges related to the structural typology and material properties with respect to the key features of the imposed design load. Further issues can be derived from the need for risk mitigation or retrofit of existing structures as well as from the optimal and safe design of innovative materials/systems. Finally, in some cases, no appropriate design recommendations are available and, thus, experimental investigations can have a key role within the overall process. In this Special Issue, original research studies, review papers, and experimental and/or numerical investigations are presented for the structural performance assessment of buildings and structures under various extreme conditions that are of interest for design.
