The Dynamic Clamp is hydraulically controlled to apply braking force on a belt via reference from an operator input. Belt braking force is proportional to hydraulic pressure applied. The clamp is not designed to be “fail safe” with the clamp opening when hydraulic system pressure is lost. Hand calculations were used along with finite element analysis to determine the structural stresses induced by the combined clamping force and belt tension. A 20 Metric Tonne belt tension capacity (196.1 kN lateral load) has been nominated for design purposes. A belt thickness of 50 mm has been assumed as a worst case for design purposes. In addition, a dynamic coefficient of friction of 0.2 has been assumed for the contact surfaces between the belt and the clamping beam surfaces. Australian Standard AS1418.1 – Cranes, Hoists and Winches General and AS3990 Mechanical Equipment – Steelwork have been utilized for determining the suitability of the design. The design meets the requirements of the standards for the proposed clamping loads and belt tensions. The combined stresses do not exceed allowable stress or displacement recommendations.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1765267","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42490791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A tall building with a unique structural form, brings forth admonishing challenges for the structural designers to deal with. Such a contemporary inclination towards the fabrication of free-form structures has posed enormous challenges to the modern-day structural engineering community, and consequently, has faced reactions in the form of tremendous researches pertaining to complex building specific issues. This paper extensively reviews six case studies of recent tall buildings that possess a challenging architecture with tortuous structural features to cope with the gravity and lateral loadings. Six representative tall buildings have been chosen from all over the world, which have distinctive features in terms of their structural systems. This paper discusses the fundamental characteristics of these tall buildings in the world and presents the challenges faced during the modelling, analysis, design, and construction of these skyscrapers, along with the brief of methodologies which were eventually adopted to cope with these challenges.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1765270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47070698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of silica fume in cement and concrete technology has unexpectedly increased over the most recent couple of years with the advent of high-performance concrete. All the previous researches in estimating the cementing efficiency factor of silica fume have been built on the strength prediction of concrete at different w/c ratio for different percentage replacement of silica fume. In the present work, the cementing efficiency factor for silica fume at different percentage replacement level has been assumed, and at the constant water to binder ratio, the compressive strength has been obtained. Further, the results of 28-day compressive strengths of silica fume concrete have been examined using a response surface model and a relationship has been projected. This model, which relates compressive strength with water to binder ratio, cementing efficiency factor and percentage silica fume, might find a useful application in the strength prediction of silica fume concretes.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1765269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48737758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the performance of production wells and reduce maintenance expenditures, a paradigm shift from corrective maintenance to proactive risk based maintenance is necessary. The feasibility of fully probabilistic risk-based inspection planning approach for oil wells has been investigated as pilot study carried out at Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (DHRTC). After establishing a baseline for the system taxonomy, failure modes and their dependencies on deterioration mechanisms, a data collection and analysis lead to the calibration of a corrosion probabilistic model, based on pit size measured from tubing inspections. This manuscript presents the results of the feasibility study, the calibration of a bespoke corrosion model for wells in the Danish sector of North Sea, the reliability analysis and the identification of a threshold value for the pit penetration to be compared with current oil & gas (O&G) regulations. The model is further used to compare expected maintenance costs for corrective maintenance and condition-based maintenance. Results show how the condition-based maintenance policy results in lower maintenance costs and potential extension of well lifetime.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1746013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47096545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Topics relating to wind turbine have encouraged researchers to put in greater efforts towards developing modeling methodologies, analytical theories, assessment techniques. Through the establishment of certain models and new findings, potential ideas regarding structural health monitoring and non-destructive evaluations may be proposed and worthy of exploration. Based on the spectral formulation of a Timoshenko member with the consideration of soil–structure interaction, the simulated model of a wind turbine was investigated in this work in order to quantify the various effects due to defects as well as foundation stiffness on the dynamic responses of the tower. This paper focuses on the analysis of the tower structure using the modal curvature data of the first vibration mode. Preliminary results show that the curvature index defined in the proposed method is capable of indicating not only the damaged region of the tower, but also the degree of stiffness softening that the foundation system may have encountered. The presented methodology demonstrates potential as a feasible analysis method to be applied in a vibration-based assessment scheme for the wind turbine tower.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1729518","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42261774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, a parametric study is performed, to identify potential factors that might affect the maximum SCF values measured on these wire segments inside the EF. Based on the parametric study’s findings, an approximate relationship for evaluating the expected maximum SCF on the tensile wire inside the EF is developed. The paper adopts a numerical approach to the problem, based on the development of a two-dimensional finite element model for evaluating the wire’s response to axial tensile operational loads. The model considers both the effects the EF’s assembling procedure and the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) have on the behavior of wire segments lying inside the EF.

The offshore, marine, and subsea energy industries continue to evolve creating new challenges and risks for the integrity, safety and reliability of its structures and systems. There is a push to expand operations into new locations and environments, such as greater depths, where operational conditions are considerably harsher. Many assets in mature fields are rapidly reaching or have already exceeded their original design life and safe but affordable life extension and decommissioning are becoming major objectives. The recent rapid developments in renewable energy technologies have introduced new challenges for maintaining at minimum cost the reliability and integrity of structures and equipment in remote locations. There are also exciting new opportunities, but also significant challenges and uncertainties, in applying structural health monitoring and non-destructive testing and the novel concepts of data science to safety and structural integrity. This special issue brings papers authored by international researchers that discuss and address the current and emerging issues and challenges, including modelling of deterioration of wind turbines, strengthening composite wind turbine blades with nanotubes, detecting damage in pipelines, calculating stress concentration in armoured flexible pipes, and applying the theory of value of information and data driven approaches to structural integrity management.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1747194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43678026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple structural health information sources, i.e. inspections, structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection systems (DDS), are modeled in dependency of the information acquirement state. In the probabilistic modeling, it is distinguished whether the information are predicted or already obtained. Two deteriorating structural system modeling approaches are illustrated and the pre-posterior and posterior updating of the structural system performance is formulated. To enhance the efficiency of the analysis of complex structural systems, a response surface method for load modeling is derived and the model uncertainty of the response surface is explicitly modeled. The formulated approaches are applied to a generic structural system and a typical deepwater jacket platform analyzing four SIRM scenarios. The optimal SIRM strategy is identified by maximizing the VoIA. The results show that the implementation of SIRM can reduce the failure risks and the expected total costs over the service life compared to a scenario without SIRM. It is also observed that information from SHM and DDS can reduce future inspection efforts and enhance the value of SIRM.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24705314.2020.1729659","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43076453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
