The structure consists of a vertical straight section and a bottom semi-arc, with a deck thickness and height comparable to those of the U-rib. The moment of inertia about the transverse axis is similar; however, the opening design facilitates welding and can significantly enhance the fatigue strength. Due to the asymmetric open section of the J-ribs, existing design codes do not provide adequate design methods. This study investigates a bridge deck with thickness ranging from 14 to 20 mm and a crossbeam spacing between 1500 and 3000 mm. Using ANSYS software, axial load-bearing capacity analysis was conducted to investigate characteristics such as load-bearing capacity, deformation patterns, and plastic zone distribution. A bearing capacity calculation method is proposed based on the stability theory of compression members. Furthermore, the combined compressive and flexural analysis indicate that the influence of vertical loads on the structural bearing capacity is relatively minor. Fatigue life comparisons suggest that the J-rib is theoretically expected to exhibit infinite fatigue life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":596,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Steel Structures","volume":"25 6","pages":"1280 - 1292"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145802400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sudden impacts threaten structural safety and service life, it is important to research the impact behavior of the member. Therefore, to investigate the effect of glass fiber orientation on the impact resistance of GFRP tube concrete-encased steel composite members with fixed-simply supported boundary conditions, a total of 30 finite element (FE) models were developed. Based on the correct finite element analysis method, the working mechanisms were revealed by analyzing the full impact process, energy conversion, bending moment, and shear force distribution. The influence of the fiber orientation on the flexural capacity was discussed. The shear force distributions at typical cross-sections were analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of fiber orientation on impact resistance under different impact locations and slenderness ratios was investigated. The results demonstrate that the fiber orientation can significantly affect the flexural capacity, the impact resistance, and the damage of the members. It is apparent that the bending moment contributed by the GFRP tube and concrete can be improved by placing the fibers along the hoop direction. The members with the range of fiber orientation (75°~90°/±60°~±75°) can effectively enhance the impact resistance, and the effectiveness increases with the development of slenderness ratios. The impact resistance is worst and the damage is severe when the fiber orientation is wrapped only in longitudinal direction. This study can provide a reference for the impact resistance design of the GFRP tube concrete-encased steel composite member.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":596,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Steel Structures","volume":"25 5","pages":"1131 - 1145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145398802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, advanced structural analysis and optimization techniques, specifically the Practical Advanced Analysis (PAA) method and the Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA), are employed. The PAA method are utilized to effectively capture material inelasticity and second-order structural effects. The structural model incorporates a zero-length element consisting of three rotational springs and three translational springs, with rotational spring stiffness values derived from the Kishi-Chen Power Model. This model is instrumental in predicting the nonlinearity exhibited by semi-rigid connections. SMA, a global optimization algorithm, is then applied to determine the optimal solution. This method has performed very well in optimization problems; therefore, it is being utilized for the first time in this type of problem. In this study, the optimization variables extend beyond the cross-sectional properties of beam and column members to include various types of semi-rigid connections. The results, obtained from analyzing two distinct three-dimensional steel frames—a four-story and an eight-story structure—reveal that connection stiffness is distributed more prominently within the structure’s inside plane compared to its edges and corners. Furthermore, the distribution of joint stiffness within the structure’s height either remains constant or increases. Additionally, a reverse relationship is observed between joint stiffness and column stiffness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":596,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Steel Structures","volume":"25 5","pages":"1117 - 1130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145398817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of welding parameters such as welding length, number of welding passes, as well as processes like inter-pass grinding and impact treatment after rewelding, on the repair effectiveness was discussed. The results indicate that the untreated crack exceeding 150 mm and secondary cracks after rewelding exceeding 50 mm require immediate intervention to mitigate further propagation and structural compromise. The local stiffness of the specimen will decrease, and the specimen cannot be restored to its original stress performance after rewelding. The crack growth rate and crack size after secondary cracking are greater than those in the unwelded state. Increasing the welding length will enlarge the length for rapid crack propagation, reducing the fatigue life of the specimen.
