This paper summarizes three failure models of pre-stressed pipe pile under horizontal load. From the view of reliability, the author has established corresponding performance functions of two failure models. And on the basis of functions, various factors affecting the reliability of pile's bearing capacity are analyzed. After calculation of four field examples, the results reveal that the thickness...
The three-dimensional models of void beneath old cement slab corner with joint are set up using finite element ANSYS software. Through simulating Falling Weight Deflectometer testing, the influence on deflection is analyzed by factors, such as void depth, void area, load transfer capacity, cement slab thickness and temperature, and fitted the relationship between various factors and deflection. It...
This paper discusses the convenience of predicting, quantitatively, time-dependent reliability and availability levels associated with most building or civil engineering structures. Then, the paper reviews different approaches to these problems and proposes the use of discrete-event simulation as the most realistic way to deal with them, specially during the design stage. The paper also reviews previous...
An approach for statistical and reliability analyses of concrete structures is presented. It describes the virtual simulation used on the way from assessment of experimental results to reliability analysis. The whole approach is based on randomization of nonlinear fracture mechanics finite element analysis of concrete structures. Efficient techniques of both nonlinear numerical analysis of concrete...
