Then a numerical analysis of the test structures is done using a fully coupled numerical finite element model. The break-up process of the structure is simulated.

The linear vertical equation is obtained by omitting the nonlinear term, and the pseudo excitation method(PEM). Taking the self-anchored concrete suspension bridge over Lanqi Songhua river for an example, the expected peak responses of main beam, towers and cables are calculated. And the seismic spatial effects on vertical seismic response of self-anchored suspension bridges are discussed.展开更多

Evaluations of structures loaded by an explosion based on dynamic response in rotations round the central line of plate or beam systems during the dynamic load of this type is discussed in the paper and comparison of own limit values and published ones is presented. Blast loads typically produce very high strain rates in the range of 102 to 10-4 s-1. The effect of strain rate for concrete material is discussed. The formulas for increased compressive strength of concrete and steel reinforcement are presented. The ductility of structural members is influenced by the corresponding values under high strain rate of reinforcement, Damage to the structure is assessed accordingly firstly by the angle of rotation of the middle axis/surface, and secondly by the limit internal forces of the selected structure. The extreme nature of blast resistance makes it necessary to accept that structural members have some degree of inelastic response in most cases. This enables the application of structure dissipation using the ductility factor and increased of concrete strength. The limits are correlated with qualitative damage expectations.
