MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF OVERTURNING MOMENT CAPACITY OF RIGID BUILDING ON ELASTO-PLASTIC SPRINGS AGAINST REAL EARTHQUAKES(Structures)

Evaluating the Soil Bearing Capacity Coefficients by Means of a Finite Element Program Based on Elasto - Plastic Mohr - Coulomb Behavior

A finite element program based on elastic –plastic model of Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to evaluate the bearing capacity coefficients of soil under shallow strip flexible footing . The results were compared with others’ analytical results and it was found that the present study could offer quite consistent and rather precise values for the bearing capacity coefficients . &#10&#10The effect ...

Semi-rigid Elasto-plastic Post Buckling Analysis of a Space Frame with Finite Rotation

ABSTRACT: In this study, large-deformation and small-strain elasto-plastic analysis of space frames with symmetric cross sections and semi-rigid connections are presented. The effect of axial forces on the bending moment and lateral buckling are included. However, axial-torsional and warping effects are omitted. The Eulerian equations for a beam-column with finite rotation taking into account b...

Parameter sensitivity of anisotropic elasto-plastic shell

1.Abstract A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) applied to the thickness design of the anisotropic elasto-plastic shell structures is developed. Since main interest lies in developing path-following algorithms for solving sensitivity problems of elasto-plasticity, such an incremental or a step-by-step formalism will be employed to implementation into the structural analysis progr...
