This document summarizes numerical modeling of concrete-filled steel tubular members in OpenSees. It discusses three models: 1) A 3D finite element model in ABAQUS that accounts for confinement effects and local buckling but is computationally expensive; 2) A distributed plasticity model in OpenSees that does not capture confinement; and 3) A concentrated plasticity model in OpenSees calibrated from ABAQUS results that can simulate member response and deterioration under cyclic loading. The document concludes the concentrated plasticity model best models CFST members and that a composite frame with CFST columns showed better seismic performance than a comparable steel frame.

Abstract (Dutch)
Samengestelde betonnen liggers vervaardigd van prefab voorgespannen- en/of gewapende elementen zijn zeer populair in de huidige praktijk van de civiele techniek. Twee betonnen, samengestelde delen van de ligger worden gestort op verschillende tijdstippen. Verschillende elasticiteitsmoduli, opeenvolgende belastingaanbrenging, en verschillend krimp en kruip veroorzaken een herverdeling van de normaalspanning en ongelijke rekken en spanningen in twee aansluitende vezels in het aansluitvlak.
Dit seminar richt zich op de berekening volgens de EN 1992-1-1 en EN 1992-2. De aannames met betrekking tot de berekening en de controle van de gewapende en/of voorgespannen samengestelde liggers en doorsnedes zal worden toegelicht.
Ook wordt er ingegaan op:
• De spanning/rek respons van de doorsnede belast door normaalkracht en buigende momenten,
• De principes van het gebruik van de “initiële toestand” in berekeningen van de uiterste grenstoestand en de bruikbaarheidsgrenstoestand,
• De controle van dwarskracht en wringing,
• De interactie tussen alle snedekrachten,
• De principes van de controles van de spanningbeperking,
• De achtergrond van de scheurwijdtecontrole
Speciale aandacht zal er worden gegeven aan de berekening van de schuifspanning in het aansluitvlak, en de beschouwing van de invloed van de verschillende leeftijd van de betonnen delen met betrekking tot de schuifspanningen. Een alternatieve berekeningsmethode ten opzichte van de Eurocode 2 zal worden voorgesteld en worden getest.
De praktische voorbeelden volgens de Eurocode 2 zullen worden uitgevoerd met behulp van de IDEA StatiCa software.

The shell structure consists of a thin reinforced concrete shell without the use of internal columns to create an internal opening., parabolic or spherical cross section. On the other hand, warehouses and playgrounds are conventional concrete frame structures, on the other hand, they can be difficult to design as the exact shape required for the stability of the structure depends on the material used, the dimensions of the enclosure, external or internal loads and other chamfers.. .. Thus, by changing the shell parameter, the performance of the shell will also change. The main goal of this work is to parametrically analyze different designs of cylindrical shells of different lengths in order to analyze two different lengths of taken cylindrical shells, and then change two parameters, first the radius and then the thickness, based on the radii. and the difference in thickness for the same width, length and material of the frame, we will evaluate the behavior of the frame for different models.

Bridging the gap between one way and two-way shear in slabsEva Lantsoght
The shear capacity of slabs under concentrated loads is particularly of interest for bridge decks under concentrated live loads. Often, one-way shear will be analyzed by considering the slab as a wide beam (without taking advantage of the transverse load redistribution capacity of the slab) and two-way shear by considering the punching area around the load. Since experiments showed that the failure mode of slabs under concentrated loads is a combination of one-way and two-way shear as well as two-way flexure, a method was sought that bridges the gap between traditional one-way and two-way shear approaches. The proposed method is a plasticity-based method. This method is based on the Strip Model for concentric punching shear and takes the effects of the geometry into account for describing the ultimate capacity of a slab under a concentrated load. The model consists of “strips” that work with arching action (one-way shear) and slab “quadrants” that work in two-way shear. As such, the resulting Extended Strip Model is suitable for the design and assessment of elements that are in the transition zone between one-way and two-way shear.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

member capacity and strength deterioration effects;
• The composite frame showed better seismic performance
than the steel frame.
