To bridge the gapbetween the construction theories and the actual construction techniques, safety factors are adoptedfor designing the strength loading of structural members. If safety factors are too conservative,the extra building materials necessary will result in high construction cost. Thus, there has been atendency in the construction field to derive a precise buckling load analysis model of member inorder to establish accurate safety factors. A numerical analysis model, using modal analysis toacquire the dynamic function calculated by dynamic parameter to get the buckling load of member, isproposed in this paper. The fixed and simple supports around the circular plate are analyzed by thisproposed method. And then, the Monte Carlo method and the normal distribution method are used forrandom sampling and measuring errors of numerical simulation respectively. The analysis resultsindicated that this proposed method only needs to apply modal parameters of 7 X 7 test points toobtain a theoretical value of buckling load. Moreover, the analysis method of inequality-distanttest points produces better analysis results than the other methods.展开更多

Plenty of literatures can be available about simply supported composite slabs with single span. However, continuous slabs always exist in high-rise building structures. In order to obtain the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs, the full scale test on slab specimens with high cost need to be carried out. This paper presented an analytical model for calculating the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs. Only the small-scale slide block test needed to be carried out for determining some mechanical parameters, resulting in less cost, compared with the conventional m-k test method. Various load conditions and parameters were considered in the analytical model. The comparison between test results and predicted results showed that the proposed method had enough precision. Furthermore, the simplified method was also proposed for practical design.展开更多
