This document analyzes the influence of semi-rigid connections on the behavior of steel space frames under static loads. It describes a 10-story steel space frame model with beam-column connections that vary in fixity from fully rigid to fully pinned. Static analysis is performed to calculate the structural responses for different connection fixity factors. The results show that to achieve maximum design moments in beams, the moments at supports and mid-span should be equal, which occurs for fixity factors between 0.5-0.6. Compared to rigid frames, semi-rigid frames experience increased bending deformation and higher primary bending moments. Overall, the study finds that semi-rigid connections significantly impact structural requirements and responses under static loads.

SEISMIC PROTECTION OF RC FRAMES USING FRICTION DAMPERSIAEME Publication
The increasing infrastructural growth incurs large investments and large section of society
being served by them, it is necessary to make them safer against earthquakes and let people
feel confident in their structures. The need for structural response control has gained pace in
application around the globe. This paper discusses the use and effectiveness of one such
device, friction dampers, for response control of structures. In this paper a non-linear time
history analysis has been carried out on a 3D model of a 12 story RCC MRF building using 3-
directional synthetic accelerogram. Two different cases of building models with and without
friction dampers have been analyzed using ETABS. The response of the structure to seismic
excitation in terms of absolute maximum displacement and story drift has been compared.
Time history response plots have also been compared for various responses viz. roof
displacement and acceleration, base shear and story shear forces, along with the various
energy components and damping behavior. The results of the time history analysis are in close
conformation with previous investigations and represent the effectiveness of dampers in
improving the structural response as well as damping demand on structural systems.
Experimental and Numerical Assessment of Crash Behavior of Welded Thin Wall R...IDES Editor
The crash behavior of Cold Rolled Mild Steel
(CRMS) closed form thin section produced by stitch welding
at periodic intervals of length was studied by conducting axial
compressive tests at loading velocities of 5 mm/min and 6000
mm/min. The deformation shape, peak forces and energy
absorption capacity of the sections estimated numerically
showed a good correlation with the experimental data.
Multistoried buildings should be designed such that they offer sufficient stiffness against
lateral displacement and should have the strength to resist inertial forces imposed by the ground
motion arising from earth quakes. Seismic forces in buildings are greatest at the base of the building.
Hence one of the key factors to be considered in designing seismic resistant buildings is the base
shear. Base shear is an estimate of the maximum expected lateral force that will occur due to seismic
ground motion at the base of a structure. In this manuscript we perform a detailed study of the values
of base shear for bare frame as well as infilled frame multi bay, multistoried structures using Free
Vibration analysis in SAP 2000 as well as pseudostatic analysis presented in I.S. 1893(Part I)-2002

Analysis of Crack Severity on Power Density Increment of GearsIDES Editor
Helical gears are commonly used in industry as
they have advantages of higher power density, quieter
operation etc., compared to spur gears. Conventional gear
design is based on various design criteria, including durability
and bending strength load rating. In recent times, fracture
failure modes are gaining importance in addition to
conventional failure modes. Stresses due to operating fatigue
loads and internal residual stresses can cause fatigue fracture
failure on the surface, sub-surface of gear flanks or at tooth
root of gears. During gear design, various parameters are
optimized, and one such parameter is the helix angle that is
optimized for power density and gear noise. However, effect of
possible defects (voids and inclusions) in the gear tooth is not
usually considered in these calculations. This paper is a study
on severity of defects in a gear blank relative to power density
increment. Three different gear geometries (spur and helical
gears with two different helix angles) each with similar defects
are considered. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to
analyze Tooth Interior Fracture (TIF), and study variation of
Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) with crack size and helix angle.
It is seen that power density increment of a common gear
blank through helix angle increment poses a higher risk of
crack severity, as the same gear blank is exposed to higher
operating loads.
Free vibrational analysis of curved beam with uniform rectangular cross sectioneSAT Journals
Abstract
Curved beams are plays an important role in different field like house roofing, bridges, cranes, automobiles chasses etc. The study
deals with the investigation of free vibrations of thick curved beams of SS316 and MS1018, both experimentally and using ANSYS.
The curved beams having different R/t ratio were fabricated by using mild steel material. Three different boundary conditions are
imposed for curved beams are as follows; free-free, clamped-free, clamped-clamped. For experimental investigation, magnetic
transducer and VIBXpert are used to conduct experiment on different curved beams. The present work also aims at developing a
numerical model for comparing ANSYS results with experimental results to analyze the frequencies and mode shapes
corresponding to three different boundary conditions. The curved beam were modelled, meshed and analyzed using ANSYS. The
first ten natural frequencies from finite element solutions are then compared with the experimental results. These effects also
become more significant for higher modes. It is also observed that the finite element solutions are closely in agreement with
experimental results.

Design of short sstt confined circular hsc columnseSAT Journals
Abstract Steel-straps tensioning technique (SSTT) has been proven to be an effective mean to confined High-strength concrete (HSC). The pre-tensioned force offers by this confining method can significantly restraint the small lateral dilation of HSC. However, most of the design guidelines only concerned with FRP-confined columns subjected to concentric compression. The direct application of these design guidelines on the SSTT-confined HSC column is being questioned due to different material and confining method adopted. Hence, a numerical study was carried out in the view of developing a simple design equation for HSC column confined with SSTT. The parameters such as SSTT-confinement ratio, load eccentricities and slenderness ratio were tested. Based on the numerical results, design equations based on regression analysis were proposed to determine the ultimate load and bending moment of SSTT-confined HSC columns.

A Study of Reduced Beam Section Profiles using Finite Element AnalysisIOSR Journals
Abstract: Reduced beam section (RBS) is one of the several connection types, which is economical and
popular for use in new steel moment frame structures in seismic zone. To form RBS connection, some portion of
the beam flanges at a short distance from column face is purposefully trimmed so that the yielding and plastic
hinge occurs within this area of flanges. Use of RBS connection is found advantageous due to: a) the shear
force in the panel zone is reduced; b) the force demand in column continuity plates i.e. stiffeners are reduced;
and c) strong-column – weak-beam requirement is satisfied. Although, radius cut RBS is qualified by
ANSI/AISC, FEMA codes, various flange cut shapes like constant, tapered, radius cut, drilled holes are possible
to reduce the cross sectional area of beam flanges. The purpose of this study is to understand behavior of RBS
beam-to-column moment connections for various flange cut geometries. This document represents nonlinear
finite element analysis of the connection models performed using the computer program, ANSYS/Multiphysics

Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF STEEL RIGID FRAME WITH IMPERFECT BRACE MEMBERSIAEME Publication
Model of a steel rigid frame made of thin-walled box section with existence of I-section brace member with initial overall and local imperfection adopted to investigate buckling effects on steel structural behavior as it was subjected to earthquake excitation. In order to take into account of the influence of local deflections on structural response, shell elements were employed to model brace member as well as base columns. Cross sections components with relatively high amplitude of
buckling parameters were considered in different case studies to make it susceptible to develop local deflection. Beam elements were also utilized to develop models with the same specification. FEM method applied to conduct nonlinear time history analysis using earthquake record in in-plane and
out-of-plane direction

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
