- Modelling the Fire Resistance of Prestressed Concrete Floors using Multi-Spring Connection Elements

- Year: 2012 , Volume: 3 , Series:
- Structure types ; Concrete structures
- Keywords: Fire resistance
- Description
- The fire resistance of precast prestressed concrete floor systems is heavily influenced by the end connections and the stiffness of the surrounding structure, both of which must be considered in any analysis. Analysing floor slabs with beam or shell elements whose end nodes share the nodes of supporting beams leads to a major problem for precast prestressed flooring systems where the steel tendons terminate at the end of the flooring
units, because the approach of sharing nodes of the supporting beam and floor assumes that these tendons are anchored into the supporting beams. In order to solve this problem, a “multi-spring” connection element has been developed. Experimental data available from previous research work has been used to validate the finite element model. It is concluded that the inclusion of the multi-spring connection results in more accurate
predictions of prestressed hollowcore slab behaviour in fire conditions.

- A finite element method enriched for wave propagation problems

- Book Title / Journal: Computers and Structures
- Year: 2012 , Volume: , Series: 94-95
- Structural Analysis
- Keywords: Wave propagation ; Spectral methods ; Enriched finite elements
- Description
- An enriched finite element method is presented to solve various wave propagation problems. The
proposed method is an extension of the procedure introduced by Kohno, Bathe, and Wright for onedimensional problems [1]. Specifically, the novelties are: two-dimensional problems are solved (and three-dimensional problems would be tackled similarly), a scheme is given to overcome ill-conditioning, the method is presented for time-dependent problems, and focus is on the solution of problems in solids and structures using real arithmetic only. The method combines advantages of finite element and spectral techniques, but an important point is that it preserves the fundamental properties of the finite element method. The general formulation of the procedure is given and various examples are solved to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed scheme.

- Keywords: Dynamic axial crushing ; Implicit time integration ; Bathe method ; 3D-shell element
- Description
- The axial crushing and crashing of thin-walled high-strength steel tubes is performed using 3D-shell finite elements and an implicit time integration scheme. The calculated results are compared with published experimental data and results obtained using explicit time integration. The objective is to show that, while for such analyses generally explicit time integration is used, with the current state of the art also an implicit time integration solution should be considered, and such solution approach can provide an effective alternative for a simulation.
