Stability and geometrically nonlinear analysis of steel structures
Ondášová, Annamária ; Puklický, Libor (referee) ; Kala, Zdeněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis is dealing with the stability and geometrically nonlinear analysis of a steel structure, explanation of the principles and procedure of the steel structure calculations. The modeled structure is loaded with pressure forces and subsequently the bearing capacity of the structure is calculated using a stability and geometrically nonlinear analysis with initial imperfections. The solution of the frame structure using both approaches can provide slightly different results, which can have an impact on the assessment of the reliability of the structure, its over or under-dimensioning.

Reliability Analysis of Steel Columns with Encased Web in High Strength Concrete under Compression
Puklický, Libor ; Krejsa,, Martin (referee) ; Melcher, Jindřich (referee) ; Kala, Zdeněk (advisor)
The presented paper deals with a theoretical analysis of the ultimate limit state. The results of experimental research carried out at the Institute of Metal and Timber Structures headed by Assoc. Prof. Karmazinová and Professor Melcher were applied. The geometrically and materially nonlinear solution based on the Timošenko’s solution is verified by the FEM model in the computer programme system ANSYS. The random influence of initial imperfections is taken into consideration. The FEM model also includes the influence of residual stress. In the parametric study, the influence of residual stress on the cross-section plastification is researched into, its influence on the load carrying capacity limit is, together with the influence of other imperfections, the subject of the stochastic analysis, applying the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). Further on, the study proves a direct effect of the concrete part of the cross-section (combination of materials steel-concrete) on the decrease of load carrying capacity limit of the beam caused by influence of the residual stress of steel. With regard to the importance of time dependent phenomena of the concrete creep for the load carrying capacity, the studies given in the Ph.D. thesis are oriented in this respect. The parametric studies of the influence of the concrete creep having applied the Standard Eurocode 2 provide both a comparison of load carrying capacity limits when using common and high-strength concrete types, and also the variability of load carrying capacities. It follows from the comparison of the statistical analysis outputs according to the design reliability conditions of the Standard EN1990 and of the approach of Eurocode 4 that the Eurocode 4 can be recommended for dimensioning of this member type. According to the studies which we carried out, the design in compliance with Eurocode 4 can be evaluated as the reliable one. A larger set of experimental data is necessary to determine the economy.
