CYLINDRICAL SHELLS MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL – INVESTIGATION OF POSTBUCKLING
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 25
Abstract
The relevant load case of open thin-walled shells is often wind loading during construction. Because of the missing stabilization effect of the roof they show a very high sensitivity to buckling which results into higher wall thicknesses. As part of the European RFCS research project BiogaSS the Institute for Metal and Lightweight Structures of the University of Duisburg-Essen carried out investigations on open thin-walled tanks made of austenitic and duplex stainless steels under wind load to study a possible economic advantage which might be gained from the consideration of the elastic postbuckling behaviour. This contribution presents not only experimental and numerical results but also first recommendations regarding the range of possible buckling reduction factors which might be incorporated in future revisions of EN 1993-1-6 and EN 1993-4-2.

INFLUENCE OF THE STATIC LOADING OF A RAFT UNCONNECTED TO A PILE ON THE PILE DISPLACEMENTS TESTED IN FIELD CONDITIONS
We present the results of a static pile-raft interaction test in field conditions. The pile and the raft were unconnected. The static loading on the raft affected the displacements of the pile due to the skin friction. T...

ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT OF THE RHEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS CHANGE ON SENSITIVITY OF THE ASPHALT STRAIN BASED ON THE TEST RESULTS
The creep test under the static loading, that allows to determine rheological properties of asphalt based on the creep curve, is the most effective test nowadays. Applied loads are non-destructive and allow to observe th...
