Abstract: A viscoplastic cap model of the Perzyna type was developed for simulating high strain rate behaviors of soils. An associative viscous flow rule was used to represent time-dependent soil behaviors. The viscoplastic cap model ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracks were found on a series of end-coped crane runway girders after 14 years of service in a steel mill building in China. Two typical crane runway girders with different spans were studied in this paper. Finite ...
