Structural integrity analysis of the pre-stressed concrete dome of the Belgrade fair hall 1

Mirjana Jelić, Aleksandar Sedmak, Boris Folić, Simon Sedmak, Mihajlo Aranđelović, Radomir Folić, Dorin Radu

Belgrade fair hall 1 is well known for its dome, which is still the world largest self-supported construction made of pre-stressed concrete, with its diameter of 106 m. In this paper the Finite Element Method (FEM) was performed to analyze…

An innovative analytical approach for predicting the fundamental time period of moment-resisting frames

Eman Sharaf, Atef Eraky, Shimaa Emad, Abdallah Salama

Most seismic design codes provide formulas for estimating base shear and lateral loads. To determine lateral loads, the building's fundamental vibration period must be calculated, either theoretically or experimentally. However, there is…

Use of combined CZM and XFEM techniques for the patch shape performance analysis on the behavior of a 2024-T3 aluminum structure reinforced with a composite patch

Kouider Madani, Safaa Chahrazed Djebbar, Nadia Kaddouri, Mohamed El Ajrami, Mohamed Belhouari

The presence of a geometric discontinuity such as a crack or a notch can cause the failure of a structure during its use. Under various mechanical or thermal stresses, a high concentration of stresses can take place at the level of these…

Numerical Analysis and Verification of Residual Stress in T Joint of S355 Steel

Xiangming Wang, Erfu Guo

T joint is a widely used welding form. The welding deformation and residual stress produced during the welding process will affect the integrity and reliability of the structure. In this study, S355 low alloy steel was used as test…
