Structural Safety Evaluation of Zip-Line Due to Dynamic Impact Load
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent year, with recent increase of interest towards leisure sports, increased number of Zip-Line or Zip built. Many researches have been actively conducted on the emphasis of the cable and the wire at the bridge. However, very limite researches have been conducted on the safety of the Zip structure. In fact, fall accidents from Zip-Line have been reported frequently. Therefore, in this study, the structural safety of Zip under dynamic impact loading condition were evaluated previously installed steel cable for leisure (Zip 3-dimensional nonlinear Finite Element (FE) model. The result from current study would assist assurance of systematic stability of Zip-Line. Keywords—Zip-Line, Wire, Cable, 3D FE Model

SVC and STATCOM for intact and line contingency cases, (iii) Impact of ZIP load on A...
متن کاملMoving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
متن کاملDynamic and Quasi-Static Tensile Properties of Structural S400 Steel
The study of mechanical behavior of the structural steel S400 under quasi- static and dynamic loading has been the subject of this investigation. In oder to obtain different stress - triaxiality conditions the specimens were notched with 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.5 mm notch radius. The results of fractography show as the velocity of tension increases, ductility reduces and a ductile-brittle transition oc...
متن کاملFragility Curves for Reinforced Concrete Frames with Lap-Spliced Columns
Placing column lap-splice in the locations of possible nonlinear deformation may adversely affect the structures response to strong ground motions. Localization of damage in splice zone may change the structural response and prevent the load redistribution and development of a uniform pattern of nonlinear excursions among the various members. Validated by existing laboratory experiments, this s...
