Study on hot spot stress distribution of three-planar tubular Y-joints subjected to in-plane bending moment

The three-planar tubular Y-joint (3Y-joint) is the main part of the fatigue assessment of tripod substructures of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). As typical multiplanar tubular joints, 3Y-joints are affected a lot by multiplanar interaction between braces. Moreover, the locations of hot spot stress (HSS) can vary considerably under different load types. Thus, the distributions of stress concentration factor (SCF) and multiplanar interaction factor (MIF) along weld toe curves are necessary to calculate HSS. Considering these requirements, this study focuses on the 3Y-joint considering the wide application of the tripod substructure of OWT. A finite element (FE) analysis method is introduced and validated. Then, a numerical database is established covering common ranges of parameters used in practice. The SCF and MIF of 3Y-joint under in-plane bending moment are analyzed. Distribution formulas are proposed and proved suitable for calculating HSS in engineering design.     

预应力混凝土多室宽箱梁桥单梁模型与梁格模型有限元对比分析与研究

在路线线形受限的条件下，为追求城市桥梁简洁协调的美观效果，弯桥、宽箱梁桥以及斜交桥梁的上部结构截面形式更多的采用箱形截面，这些小曲率半径或者变宽斜交的桥梁与常规的直线或者大曲率半径上的桥梁在相同荷载作用下，结构的内力等方面差别较大。梁格法能够更加真实的反应出宽桥的实际受力情况，但是计算较为繁琐，耗时较久。通过分析单梁法及梁格法计算结果，以期通过提高单梁法分析结果富余量的方式来确保结构设计满足规范要求。     

大跨度拱桥变截面吊杆索力的分析与识别

上海亭枫公路跨平申线航道的三跨30 m+120 m+30 m连续钢桁架拱桥采用变截面吊杆，其施工过程索力的准确识别具有一定的技术难度，需要有效的理论分析结合实际工程经验来解决。利用等截面吊杆索力的计算公式，结合SAP2000变截面吊杆有限元模型的参数分析结果，推导出不同规格的吊杆基准等效长度。根据吊杆基准等效长度和实测频率，采用一端固定、一端铰接的索力计算公式计算索力，并与相应阶段的设计索力进行比较，可以得到主桥吊杆索力基本符合设计要求。     

Engelund弯道横向流速公式改进

Engelund弯道环流公式理论性强、国际上应用广泛,但底部边界条件假设不尽合理,致使公式不适用于粗糙床面。修正了底部滑移速度,提出河底横向湍流切应力形式,将两者用于边界条件。据此得到光滑和粗糙床面统一的弯道环流流速公式,改进了Engelund公式。改进公式具有普遍适用性,且计算值与实测资料符合度优于前人公式。
