The tendency on dynamic embedment factor was found by conducting numerical analyses using OrcaFlex software.
The hypotheses proposed in the study are validated by conducting numerical analyses through 3D and 2D finite element models.
Maintaining the uniformly distributed load concept generally adopted in the design of building structures, this paper introduces the equivalent vehicle load factors which can simulate the vehicle load effects without conducting additional sophisticated numerical analyses.
Maintaining the uniformly distributed load concept, the equivalent vehicle load factors which can simulate vehicle load effects without conducting additional sophisticated numerical analyses for the concentrated loads are introduced.
guyed communication tower was conducted using experimental and numerical analyses.
Then the numerical analyses conducted using a finite element analysis (FEA) program Simulation of Concrete Structure (SCS) developed at UH are presented.
The results from the numerical analyses conducted using the finite element model show that the factor of safety (FOS) of a slope increases when the effect of root reinforcement is taken into consideration.
The main methods used for the research refer to historical and bibliographical survey, experimental testing of the monument's materials and nonlinear numerical analyses conducted by the used of the finite element code ADINA.
The chapter presents two series of numerical analyses conducted in panels under a shear to evaluate the influence of the material non-linearity and to investigate the effects of geometric parameters of a stainless steel plate girder on the boundary conditions of the web panel.
The proposed method is finally applied to the re-design of a welded sliding beam of the hydraulic press machine, on which the numerical analyses conducted exemplify the GHGs emission reduction and structural performance enhancement, and therefore is a good choice for the low-carbon design of large-scale welded engineering structures.
