The reasonableness and accuracy of engineering design are often assessed through the use of a variety of structural design analysis software, which are then compared and verified. However, it is challenging for a single analysis software to meet the...
The research in this paper relies on the Baochang shield construction section of Jinan Metro Line R2 and uses MIDAS GTS and MIDAS GEN to construct a three-dimensional calculation model to numerically simulate the process of shield tunneling through a...
In order to improve the progressive collapse resistance of an RC frame structure with an L-shaped plane under local component failure, X-tension reinforcement and steel trusses are applied to the progressive collapse resistance design. In this paper,...
The crane track of a steel structure workshop was installed eccentrically, and the crane operation caused a large deflection of the crane beam, requiring reinforcement measures. The finite element model of the crane beam was established by Midas Gen...
The loop-free single-layer hyperbolic cable net structure (LSHCS) is a new tensile cable structure for buildings, and it can overcome the disadvantages of key elements and the high tension in tensile cable structures with loop cables. The imperfectio...
Remodeling underground structures requires careful construction planning, including consideration of costs and scheduling. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and compare the effects of four methods for vertically extending the underground spaces o...
Reinforced concrete began replacing traditional masonry construction in the early 20th century, yet hybrid buildings combining unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with concrete slabs remain prevalent in Istanbul. Understanding their seismic behavior is...
The all-steel attached lifting protection platform widely employed in recent years has always suffered from self-weight issues and corrosion. Aluminum alloy is the ideal option for steel owing to its low bulk density and resistance to corrosion and r...
Without demolishing an entire existing building, it is possible to sustainably expand its underground spaces to enhance the building’s functionality. However, there have been a few relevant studies exploring this option, and they did not consid...
Structural instability in marine scaffold systems often causes serious economic losses and casualties. In this study, a multi-parameter coupled model was established based on the MIDAS GEN finite element analysis platform to investigate the influence...
Orthotropic steel deck (OSD) bridges are lightweight constructions which are convenient, especially for the achievement of long spans. Conversely, due to the stress concentration in correspondence to the numerous and unavoidable welded construction d...
This paper introduces a new self-locking-unlockable modular building with an inter-module connection, and its seismic performance is investigated. The new connection can realize fast connection and unlocking during construction through exceptional de...
To investigate the thermal effects of solar radiation on annular steel structures with non-uniform spans, this study implemented a methodology combining numerical simulation and monitoring. Electronic strain gauges and temperature monitoring points w...
This study analyzes a high-rise building with B-level height (i.e., a total height of 146.5 m) and a shear wall structure. Since the project contains many plane irregularities (including 1a torsional irregularity, 1b eccentric arrangement, and 2a pla...
High-rise building structures with podiums are widely present, and establishing a fast numerical prediction method to evaluate their wind-induced response characteristics is of great significance for engineering applications. This article proposes a...
Focusing on the construction of a 58-m-diameter double-layer steel space frame dome at the Han Culture Museum Assembly Hall, this study addresses scheme selection and safety control challenges in staggered jacking of large-span spatial structures. A...
The R&D Building of Zhanjiang Bay Laboratory is a high-rise structure with multiple irregular items exceeding the specification limit, employing a steel frame-shear wall structural system. The outer frame consists of square steel tube concrete co...
