    Structural reliability analysis of steel plane frames with semi-rigid connections.
    (2018) Agostini, Bruno Márcio; Freitas, Marcílio Sousa da Rocha; Silveira, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota; Silva, Andréa Regina Dias da
    The design codes for structural design traditionally establish the adoption of partial safety factors to deal with uncertainties. These standards do not allow one to know the real probabilities of failure of a structure. What is needed, from a practical and scientific point of view, is a more consistent approach, based on reliability theory. This article addresses an initial attempt at determining the safety levels of structures based on advanced analysis and design with structural reliability theory. In this context, the authors consider the effects of the geometric nonlinearity and flexibility of connections in the reliability analysis, which aims at setting a certain displacement as the service limit state. For this purpose, a computer program was written called Structural Reliability Module. This program uses a First Order Reliability Method to analyse reliability. To carry out the structural analysis of steel structures, this study uses the program Computational System for Advanced Structural Analysis. Validating the Structural Reliability Module involved comparing the results from other authors with those generated by the program. Results for the structures under study indicate the efficiency of the implemented measures. Results suggest that, when a certain displacement is set as a service limit state, the reliability of the structures under analysis are only slightly influenced by geometric nonlinearity but considerably so by semi-rigid connections.

    Nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures in contact with soil.
    (2018) Rosas, Letícia Reis Batista; Silva, Andréa Regina Dias da; Silveira, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota
    Structural elements, in many situations, are supported by other surfaces, such as soil, which may offer movement constraints in some directions. Therefore, the static and dynamic analysis of these elements considering their interaction with the soil becomes important in the design of a structural design. This paper presents the nonlinear dynamic analysis of structural systems considering such interaction through the Finite Element Method. A geometrically nonlinear beam-column element is used to model the structure, while the soil can be idealized as a continuum foundation, through the Winkler and Pasternak models. It is assumed that the foundation reacts to tension and compression stresses, so during the deformation process the structural elements are subjected to bilateral contact constraints. The analysis is based on the modeling of the structural system using the finite element method, where the Newmark integration method and Newton-Raphson iterative strategy are used in the process of solving the nonlinear dynamic equations in the time domain. Practical situations involving the interaction between soil and structure were evaluated during the study, showing the influence of contact in the natural vibration frequency and transient response of these structures.

    CS-ASA : a new computational tool for advanced analysis of steel frames.
    (2013) Silva, Andréa Regina Dias da; Prado, Ícaro Machado; Silveira, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota
    Esse trabalho apresenta uma nova ferramenta computacional, para análise avançada estática e dinâmica de estruturas de aço reticuladas planas, desenvolvida com base no Método dos Elementos Finitos. Duas fontes de não linearidades são consideradas nas análises: a geométrica, que considera os efeitos da deslocabilidade da estrutura; e a física, causada, principalmente, pelas características mecânicas dos materiais utilizados na construção civil. Imperfeições relacionadas com o carregamento, geometria do sistema e tensões residuais podem, também, serem consideradas. Para se ilustrarem alguns dos recursos e análises que diferenciam essa ferramenta dos programas comerciais existentes, a estabilidade estática e dinâmica de alguns sistemas estruturais, com ligações rígidas e semirrígidas, é avaliada. As respostas obtidas por outros pesquisadores são usadas, para validar as formulações e as metodologias de solução não linear, implementadas nessa ferramenta, e para atestar a eficiência desse programa caseiro de análise estrutural.
