Research on New Method for Safety Testing of Steel Structures—Combining 3D Laser Scanning Technology with FEA

This paper introduces a novel approach to assessing structural safety, specifically aimed at evaluating the safety of existing structures. Firstly, a point cloud model of the existing commercial complex was captured utilizing three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology. Subsequently, an intelligent method for identifying holes within the point cloud model was proposed, built upon a YOLO v5-based framework, to ascertain the dimensions and locations of holes within the commercial complex. Secondly, Poisson surface reconstruction, coupled with partially self-developed algorithms, was employed to reconstruct the surface of the structure, facilitating the three-dimensional geometric reconstruction of the commercial complex. Lastly, a finite element model of the framed structure with holes was established using the reconstructed 3D model, and a safety analysis was conducted. The research findings reveal that the YOLO v5-based intelligent hole identification method significantly enhances the level of intelligence in point cloud data processing, reducing manual intervention time and boosting operational efficiency. Furthermore, through Poisson surface reconstruction and the self-developed algorithms, we have successfully achieved automated surface reconstruction, where the resulting geometric model accurately reflects the dimensional information of the commercial complex. Additionally, the maximum uniformly distributed surface load that the floor slabs within the framed structure with holes can withstand should not exceed 17.7 kN/m2, and its vertical deformation resistance stiffness is approximately 71.6% of that of a frame without holes.

Collapse behavior of fully prefabricated composite frames with segmented PC floor slabs in a middle column removal scenario

Fully prefabricated steel-concrete composite (PSCC) structures come into being when precast concrete (PC) floor slabs are used to replace cast-in-situ concrete slabs, which possess the advantages of time-saving and convenient construction without or with less cast-in-situ concrete. However, segmented PC slabs decrease the integrity of composite frames and enhance the collapse risk under extreme incidents. To investigate the collapse behavior of fully PSCC frames, a reduced-scale PSCC frame substructure with segmented PC slabs was designed and tested under the monotonic load in a middle-column-removal scenario. The test results show that PC slabs near the middle column were severely crushed during the collapse; and the fracture of the girder was observed at the large deformation stage, originating from a bolt hole in the upper girder flange nearest to one side column and the weld connecting the girder with the other side column. The steel girder sections adjacent to the gaps between adjacent PC slabs presented superior continuity in stress when the segmented PC slabs were connected with steel splice plates (SSP). Meanwhile, both flexural and catenary actions in the composite beams provide the collapse resistance, and the contribution of the catenary action in the beams to the collapse resistance should be prudently considered due to the local buckling of the steel girders. Parametric analysis referring to the test was performed in the finite element (FE) method. Numerical results indicate that connecting the adjacent PC slabs with SSPs could alleviate or eliminate the fluctuation of the bending moments in the girder sections around the gaps. PSCC frames with segmented PC slabs usually present two typical collapse failure modes, the primary difference of which lies in whether limited plastic regions appear in the steel girder sections near the gaps. A simplified theoretical method was presented to decouple the contribution of the collapse-resisting mechanisms to the collapse resistance, and the analysis showed that catenary action provided 81.0 % ∼ 93.4 % of the total collapse resistance at the ultimate collapse stage.

Modeling a poiseuille flow through a rectangular pipe in a floor slab (PSD)

This study was devoted to the modeling of a laminar fluid flow in a pipe of the rectangular section located in a floor slab. This theme was raised because of its relevance in the large business sector as well as in the areas of energy saving and storage at the residential scale. The equations of motion quantity and heat transport are the classical equations of forced convection. However, to describe the movement amount within the heating slab pipeline, Prandtl simplified model was most appropriate. In addition, this model retains the most important terms for a laminar regime flow. In addition, the modeling of fluid flow conservation in the pipeline was taken into account in the equation system. To achieve the above-mentioned objective, a numerical resolution was made for the system resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations that govern this fluid flow. These equations were discretized by an implicit finite difference method. The system of algebraic equations as well as obtained was solved by the algorithm of Gauss and the algorithm of Thomas. The results obtained such as: the evolution of the fluid velocity profile within the slab according to pipeline to the Reynolds number variation, the fluid temperature have clearly demonstrated the Poiseuille effect on fluid flow. Moreover, the stabilization of the Gauss algorithm and the Thomas algorithm in this numerical modeling was well verified against the tricks that were taken into consideration. The result of this study was that Thomas algorithm and Gauss algorithm are the best in this type of numerical modeling.

Flexural performance of innovative thin-walled steel–timber composite floor slabs

A floor slab carries and distributes the floor load in a structure and is an important component that affects overall structural performance. Therefore, it is important to investigate the mechanical properties of such materials. In this study, flexural performance tests under static load are conducted for an innovative thin-walled steel–timber composite floor slab, and the failure mode, bearing capacity, stiffness, deflection, and strain development are investigated. The results show that the floor slab can be quickly assembled using self-tapping and wood screws and exhibits good flexural performance. Using ABAQUS finite-element software, the effects of the oriented-strand board (OSB) thickness, thin-walled–steel-plate height, steel strength, and boundary conditions on the flexural performance of composite floor slabs are investigated. Furthermore, based on the EN1995–1-1 code and equal-section conversion principle, the simplified beam-unit model is established for the theoretical calculation of the composite floor slab. The effective bending stiffness is calculated by considering the influence of the slip modulus of the connector, and the stress distribution law of the section is analysed. The results provide a reliable design basis and reference for the application of thin-walled steel–timber composite floor slabs in engineering practice.

Component tests and numerical simulations of 3D steel frame structures for progressive collapse

This paper presents a comprehensive study on three-dimensional steel frame structures subjected to progressive collapse, drawing insights from a full-scale steel frame substructure test. The investigation encompasses connection component tests and numerical simulations, focusing on extended end plate and double-angle cleat connections employed in the substructure test. The mechanical properties of the connection components were tested, forming a basis for defining component properties in subsequent connection models. Finite element (FE) models of the test substructure were developed, utilizing hybrid elements for the steel frame part, which include beam, connector, and spring elements based on the component method. To simulate reinforced concrete slabs, a combination of refined solid elements and simplified shell elements was employed. The former accurately captures detailed failure modes, while the latter efficiently simulates the collapse behavior of large-scale steel frame structures. Validation of the established models against test results encompassed load-displacement responses, internal forces in structural members, and failure modes. The validated FE models were then utilized to analyze and discuss the contributions of various structural components in resisting progressive collapse. Specific focus was placed on the development of load-resisting mechanisms in the floor slab and the influence of beam-column connection types on structural behavior. The paper explores the role of bracing systems in a building in resisting progressive collapse. Additionally, it evaluates the effectiveness of the restraint systems used in the test, shedding light on their ability to accurately reflect real restraint effects from the surrounding structure. The findings presented herein contribute valuable insights to the understanding of progressive collapse behavior in steel frame structures, with implications for robustness design of multi-story steel buildings.

Enhancing CLT floor vibration mitigation with pre-strained shape memory alloy-tuned mass dampers

Cross-laminated timber (CLT), recognised for its environmental benefits, faces challenges in its excessive human-induced vibration due to its lightweight nature. This research investigates the application of a tuned mass damper (TMD) for vibration control in CLT floor slabs, focusing on enhancing the structural performance of using this sustainable building material. The study introduces a solution by integrating Shape memory alloy (SMA) into TMD systems (SMA-TMD), utilising the properties of SMAs for effective self-centring and consistent damping, and it aims to incorporate pre-strained SMAs into TMDs to improve the damping performance of the system. Experimental testing and finite element simulations confirm that pre-straining SMA bars not only contribute to the self-centring but also considerably increase the equivalent viscous damping ratio of the SMA-TMD. Findings from the simulations demonstrate that the optimised SMA-TMD system can substantially reduce CLT floor vibration and accelerates the energy dissipation effect under human footfall loadings, overcoming one of the primary limitations of CLT in construction applications. This advancement supports the broader adoption of CLT as a sustainable building material by providing a viable solution for vibration control.

Experimental study on seismic behavior of RCS joints with asymmetric friction connections and slabs

This paper introduces a new reinforced concrete column-steel beam (RCS) joint that employs asymmetric frictional connections (AFC) to improve energy dissipation and moment transfer, reducing stress concentrations within the joint’s core. Two RCS joint specimens with AFC and floor slabs were designed and tested under quasi-static loading to analyze the impact of bolt preload on seismic performance. The experimental results demonstrate that RCS joints with AFC and slabs exhibit favorable seismic behavior in terms of bearing capacity, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation. Increasing bolt preload enhances the bearing capacity, stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity of the joints. The failure occurred at the steel beam splice connections, while only minor micro-cracks appeared in the reinforced concrete column when the joint's bearing capacity dropped below 80% of the peak load. Displacement at the column top was primarily influenced by steel beam and column deformation, with minimal contribution from joint core deformation. The use of AFC effectively reduced deformation in the joint core area, meeting seismic design code requirements for “strong columns-weak beams.”

Ribbed floors with optimized thickness distribution for maximized broadband impact sound insulation

Impact sound insulation of floors is one of the main concerns when designing multi-story buildings. While conventional floor systems use flat or regularly ribbed configurations, interesting opportunities to improve performance are given by enhancing the design of the load-bearing slab. In this work, we propose a methodology to maximize broadband impact sound insulation by designing slabs with a non-uniform material thickness distribution, which is numerically optimized. In the design process, efficient and accurate sound insulation predictions are employed through a detailed finite element floor model coupled with a diffuse room model. In particular, we minimize a Single Number Quantity (SNQ) that represents the aggregate broadband sound pressure level in the receiving room under point-load excitation. The design of single slab floors is considered first. Results indicate that, even if the optimization effectively minimizes the sound pressure level in the different third-octave bands, it does not lead to noteworthy decreases in the SNQ. The design of floating floors is then considered. In this case, a better overall performance is obtained, corresponding to significant improvements at low frequencies and a slight degradation at high frequencies, where, nevertheless, floating floors already perform well. This slight high-frequency decline is linked with the resonances of the thin sub-plate regions present between the optimized ribs, akin to what is observed in waffle ribbed floors. Finally, the robustness of the optimized results against changes in the initial guess is assessed by showing that no SNQ improvements are obtained when transitioning from flat to waffle ribbed initial design.

Analysis of the technical condition of building structures on the example of a feed preparation workshop

The article aims to develop an instrumental model for a complex assessment of building structures that are subject to changes during their life-cycle process. This model can be used to substantiate the need either to reconstruct the existing building structures with the purpose of creating favorable living conditions or to demolish the building. The research methodology involved the general theory of systems and available techniques for estimating the state of building structures. Brick walls were tested by a nondestructive method using an IPS-MG-4.03 meter. Gypsum block masonry walls were tested by an ONIKS- 2.5 meter. Concrete was tested by an OMSh-1 hardness tester. Bellman dynamic programming was used to optimize the calculations and to find a solution for optimizing reconstruction costs. An example of assessing the condition of a building construction is provided, along with measures for extending its lifecycle. A conclusion is made that evaluation of the reliable operation of a building structure should consider the integral condition of the basic load-bearing structures under the action of environmental factors. This allows the risks of building destruction and the costs of building reconstruction to be reduced. For evaluating the current condition of the building under study, its structure was divided into a number of elements: foundation, wall box, floor slabs, roof. The hydrogeological parameters of the soil were also considered. Basing on the wear of building elements, the weakening coefficients of the building were calculated. The transient states of the system were described by semi-Markov processes. The results obtained can be used when evaluating the building residual life, selecting measures for improving the durability of structures with high wear and tear, and justifying the renovation concepts of territories.

Analysis of the Application of Hollow Core Slab to Cost and Time Efficiency in High Rise Building Construction Project

The floor slab is one of the factors that affect the cost and duration of construction projects because it has the largest volume of work among other jobs. The selection of the method of implementation of floor slab work also affects the efficiency of development. The use of precast slabs can be an alternative to conventional floor slabs because of their potential to increase cost efficiency, speed up implementation time, and increase structural durability. In this study, a comparative analysis of cost efficiency and scheduling time of precast hollow core slab (HCS) method as an alternative to conventional slabs was conducted, using primary data obtained from the project and in accordance with government regulations. Time analysis and scheduling were calculated with the help of Microsoft Project software and determination of plate work items. As for the cost analysis, it is calculated based on the literature and applicable regulations to get real results by field conditions. Based on the analysis, it is known that the implementation of the 4-storey building slab work with the alternative precast slab method takes 8 days and costs Rp. 1,691,887,497. While the conventional slab method takes 38 days with a total cost of Rp. 2,276,920,601.

On the methodology of conventional and semi-system formwork project comparison

Formwork refers to a temporary structure or mold that is used to hold concrete in place from the moment it is poured until it reaches the desired level of strength. Efficient utilization of formwork is a crucial aspect to take into account. This study aims to analyze the costs related to column, beam, and floor slab formwork by employing value engineering. The analysis will specifically compare the use of conventional formwork with semi-system formwork. The findings of this study propose the substitution of the column and beam formwork due to the substantial expenses associated with the conventional formwork utilized in this structure. By utilizing semi-system formwork, the expenses associated with beam formwork can be diminished by 47 %. It is advisable to employ semi-system formwork for column formwork as it can result in a cost reduction of 37 %. However, it is recommended to continue using traditional formwork for floor slab construction, as it is still 15 % more cost-effective per square meter compared to using semi-system formwork.•This method highlights the limitations of traditional formwork.•This method investigates the implementation of semi-system formwork in construction projects.•This study aims to examine and compare conventional and semi-system formwork projects.

RESEARCH OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF PRECAST REINFORCED CONCRETE HOLLOW CORE SLABS UNDER THE ACTION OF A CONCENTRATED AND UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD

The scientific work is devoted to a comprehensive study of the stress-strain state of prefabricated hollow-core floor slabs, establishing the nature of deformation, as well as determining the characteristics of crack resistance, deformability and load-bearing capacity experimentally under short-term loads. The experimental data obtained were confirmed by theoretical calculations. The scientific novelty of the experiments carried out within the framework of the presented work lies in the improvement of the principles of direct design of floor slabs from commercially produced beam slabs, the possibility of determining the stress-strain behavior of a slab structure using the formed ends. The method of monitoring the stressed behavior of a slab structure was also further developed. For the first time, the results of full-scale experimental studies of the stress-strain behavior of a prefabricated slab, carried out using the hydraulic loading method, have been obtained, and the features of the deformation of a slab embedded in the wall of a multi-story building have been experimentally established. The article provides recommendations for the practical use of the research results obtained, and also develops technical specifications for the production of concrete slabs during design and construction. The developed proposals were used in the construction of residential buildings in Kharkiv. When using the recommended grade of concrete C25/30 (instead of the actual grade C20/25 tested), the rigidity of the slab increases and its deflections will be smaller. Based on the data obtained from the experimental testing of the slabs, a generally positive test result should be stated. During further serial production of slabs, periodic testing of batches of slabs should be carried out in accordance with DSTU B V.2.6-53:2008. In this case, the slabs are accepted according to the indicators of strength, rigidity, crack resistance, fire resistance limits, frost resistance limits, as well as water resistance of slabs intended for use in aggressive environments. Keywords: concentrated load, testing, concrete, calculation, deflection, transverse force.

EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FLOOR PANELS DEFORMABILITY OF A LARGE-PANEL SYSTEM BUILDING AFTER RENOVATION

This paper deals with a field tests of prefabricated reinforced concrete floor panels of a multistory building by the method of hydrostatic loading. Object of study is presented by 3 damaged floor slabs of a 9-storey residential building which was hit during the russian invasion. After renovation of panels using the constructive solution which consists of a reinforced build-up layer in the compressed zone (upper part) and additional external reinforcement in the stretched zone (lower part) connected to each other with the help of anchor connections, a series of tests with water loading were set. For creation of loading an inventory pool was used, which was gradually filled with water at a step of 1kN/m2. Maximum created loading level was 5kN/m2 which corresponds to the operational load. After reaching the maximum load, the panels were left under load for 15 hours and then fully unloaded in steps of 1kN/m2. For each panel two type of tests were established: first when panel had both upper and lower part of reinforcement, and second – when lower reinforcement within steel beams was removed. The idea of dismantling of steel beams connected with previously performed numerical analysis which gave to little difference in deflections of panels for these two cases. Deflection measurements at critical locations along with thorough visual inspection were conducted during the loading and unloading cycles. No damage was observed during the in-situ loading and unloading cycles. Maximum vertical deflection for panel before dismantling of beams lies in the diapason of 1.95-2.1mm and 2.31-2.4mm after they were removed. These results meet the requirements of regulatory restrictions on the maximum deflection equal to 20 mm for this structure. Difference in deflection for two cases doesn’t exceed 20% which allows to abandon the use of lower reinforcement in the form of steel beams in the future. As the size of the pool doesn’t cover the whole panel area, the equivalent uniformly distributed load was also calculated using Lira software. Keywords. Large panel system house, reinforcement, floor panel, method of hydrostatic loading, deflection.

Hysteretic Performance Analysis of Prefabricated Steel-Concrete Composite Edge Joints Considering Floor Composite Effects

ABSTRACT This study conducts quasi-static tests and finite element (FE) analysis by using ABAQUS software to examine the effects of floor combination effect (FCE) on the seismic behavior of a novel type of prefabricated steel-concrete composite (PSCC) exterior joints. This analysis assesses PSCC exterior joints featuring bolted-welded hybrid connections, focusing on their seismic performance under the influence of FCE. The variables in this research include floor construction parameters, axial compression ratio (n), and core area concrete (CAC). The results indicated that these variables, particularly the floor construction parameters, n, and CAC, significantly influence stress distribution and magnitude within the joint core area (JCA) and the floor slab. Although the floor construction parameters exert a minor effect on seismic performance, increasing n markedly enhances the joints’ load-bearing and energy dissipation capacities. However, it also makes the joints more susceptible to brittle failure. Optimal bearing capacity and ductility for energy dissipation are achieved when n equals 0.3. In addition, CAC substantially increases the initial stiffness (IS) and bearing capacity, with a peak increase in bearing capacity of approximately 18% and an IS enhancement of around 25%. However, rising CAC strength has a relatively minor impact on seismic performance.

Composite floor slab effect on seismic performance of steel-framed-tube structures with shear links

High-strength steel-framed-tube structures with low-yield-point shear links (SFT-RLYPSL) exhibit exceptional lateral and torsional stiffness, coupled with significant energy dissipation capacities. This study aims to investigate teh influence of composite floor slabs on the seismic performance of these structures. Expanding on previous research concerning SFT-RLYPSL, this paper presents a simplified numerical model for the SFT-RLYPSL, incorporating the influence of the composite floor slab. The developed model employs the steel4 constitutive relation to accurately depict the behavior of low-yield-point steel. Furthermore, the simplified numerical model utilizes two-node link elements to simulate shear links and integrates composite beams to represent the influence of the composite floor slab. Using this simplified model, elastic-plastic pushover analysis is performed on five distinct SFT-RLYPSL structural cases, and nonlinear time-history analysis is conducted on three structural configurations. The investigation explores various aspects of the seismic performance of SFT-RLYPSL, including modal behavior, pushover curves, progression of overturning failure, time-history roof displacements, inter-story drift angles, base reactions, inter-story shear, failure modes, residual inter-story drift angles, and the manifestation of shear lag phenomena. The findings suggest that incorporating the composite floor slab effect enhances initial stiffness and peak load capacity in pushover analysis, leading to distinct three-stage pushover curves. During nonlinear time-history analysis, the composite floor slab effect increases structural stiffness, decreases roof displacements and inter-story drift angles, while simultaneously increasing base reactions, worsening component damage, and raising collapse risk. Nevertheless, its influence on residual inter-story drift angles remains relatively minor, with a mitigating effect on the shear lag phenomenon. Importantly, the degree of this impact varies with alterations in floor slab thickness and seismic intensity, highlighting the critical importance of considering the composite floor slab effect in structural design deliberations.

Topologically optimised facade brackets: an embodied carbon, structural and residual stress analysis

The research investigates the topological optimisation of the metal brackets that connect curtain wall panelling to the floor slabs of a building. As is typically the case with standard building components, the brackets are overdesigned with higher load margins than real applied loads. Optimising them results in reduced mass and a more evenly spread stress distribution. Correspondingly, the question that the project asks is whether the optimised designs have a comparable structural performance to the standard bracketry used in construction, and a lower embodied carbon. To answer this, several optimisations of a standard facade bracket are performed, resulting in a total of six converged design options, with three of them progressed for fabrication. The manufactured designs are then horizontal and vertical load and residual stress tested to assess their performance, and an embodied carbon analysis is performed to calculate the corresponding emissions for raw material extraction, processing, and component fabrication. The results indicate the presence of compressive yield magnitude residual stresses, and that structural performance is comparable to a standard bracket, but embodied carbon is in most cases higher. The paper concludes with a discussion of the findings, and possible next steps in the optimisation, structural testing, and embodied carbon analysis workflow.

Development of a vibration-damping, sound-insulating, and heat-insulating porous sphere foam system and its application in green buildings

With the development of green buildings, people pay more attention to the quality of the indoor sound environment. The air sound insulation performance of floors and exterior walls plays a key role in today's green buildings. The thermal performance of the enclosure structure's floor and exterior wall heat transfer resistance is an important factor in reducing building carbon emissions in green buildings. The aim of this paper is to study the efficiency of the acoustic and thermal insulation of a foaming system with porous carbon balls and the combination of different structural ways of construction boards and external walls. The acoustic and thermal parameters of different sound insulation and thermal insulation systems designed with porous carbon sphere foam and inserted into the floors and exterior walls are compared to highlight the optimal structure. The theoretical and experimental tests showed that to improve the sound insulation performance of the floor, a sound insulation system needs to be placed on the surface of the floor in contact with the impact object and inlaid in the vertical gap in contact with the floor and the wall. Furthermore, it has been determined that the surface of the foam particle acoustic ball with micropores has good sound absorption performance. Finally, the high-quality building thermal insulation material with low thermal conductivity in any combination with the floor slabs and the external wall structure improves the thermal insulation performance.

RESISTANCE OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF CIVIL PROTECTION BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES TO THE IMPACT OF AN EXPLOSION

The article presents the results of a comparison of the stability of the structural elements of the underground parking lot of an erected multistory civil building. The results of calculation of structural load-bearing elements (monolithic floor slab and pylons) to the impact of an explosion in the Lira CAD software with consideration of the requirements of the state Building standards of Ukraine are presented. It is shown that an increase in the instantaneous load of explosive pressure from 20 kPa (DBN B.2.2-5-97) to 100 kPa (DBN B.2.2-5:2023) will increase the maximum displacement of a monolithic floor slab by 11.9 times and the maximum reinforcement section by 5.8 times. This creates a real opportunity to develop new approaches to the planning of civil protection buildings and structures to ensure their operational reliability and resistance to the effects of an explosion.
