On the basis of a rigorous time-dependent analysis, structural behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures according to the changes in design variables such as the types of shoring systems, shore stiffness and shore spacing are analyzed and discussed. The time-dependent deformations of concrete such as creep and shrinkage and construction sequences of frame structures are also taken into account to minimize the structural instability and to reach to an improved design of shoring system because these effects may increase the axial forces delivered to the shores. In advance, the influence of the column shortening effect, generally mentioned in a tall building structure, is analyzed. From many parametric studies, it has been finally concluded that the most effective shoring system in RC frame structures is 2S1R (two shores and one reshore) regardless of the changes in design variables.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @article{PickHeimsundMilbradt2004, author = {Pick, Tobias and Heimsund, Bjoern-Ove and Milbradt, Peter}, title = {Development and Analysis of Sparse Matrix Concepts for Finite Element Approximation on general Cells}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.250}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2500}, year = {2004}, abstract = {In engineering and computing, the finite element approximation is one of the most well-known computational solution techniques.

The proposed method idealizes the framed-tube structures with multiple internal tubes as equivalent multiple tubes, each composed of four equivalent orthotropic plate panels. The numerical analysis is based on the minimum potential energy principle in conjunction with the variational approach. The shear-lag phenomenon of such structures is studied taking into account the additional bending moments in the tubes.
