It is shown that the type of inclusions in the crack steel samples is mainly class B oxide, C silicate, and the inclusion size of the majority below 10 μm, and a small number of large inclusions are observed. The content of oxygen in the steel is high, and the carbon segregation is the main reason of the crack formation of HRB400 screw-thread steel. The measures to improve the crack formation of HRB400 screw-thread steel are put forward, which provides a powerful basis for the practical production.展开更多

The morphology of the box girder cracks was surveyed and mapped. The length, width, and depth of the cracks were inspected, and the strength and reinforcement configuration of the components were tested. The test results indicate that the strength and reinforcement configuration of the inspected components meet the design requirements. The crack at the end of the top plate of the box girder is a local compressive crack at the anchorage end. The width and length of the crack on the bottom surface of the top plate are not significant, and the depth is relatively shallow. Judging from the crack morphology, this crack is identified as a temperature crack. Additionally, based on the treatment measures for cracks of different widths, the treatment measures for the cracks of the components in this project are derived, providing a reference basis for similar projects in the future.展开更多

However, recent earthquakes, especially Northridge Earthquake (USA) and Hyogoken Nanbu earthquake (Japan), astonished engineers in the field of construction. The experience from recent earthquakes of USA and Japan shows that brittle fracture of welded steel structure always starts from high stress zone with welded crack [1～5] . As backing bar for grooved weld on beam flange exists, artificial crack is formed because of lack of fusion at the root of flange weld. In this paper stress distribution of connection is computed with FEM, and stress concentration at the root of flange weld is also analyzed. Stress intensity factors (SIFs), K I, at the root of flange weld are computed in the method of fracture mechanics. The computation shows that stress intensity factor on bottom flange weld is obviously higher than that on top flange weld. It is proved by the fact that brittle fracture is liable to start at the root of bottom flange weld on actual earthquake [1,4] . Finally measures are brought forward to avoid fracture of weld structure against earthquake.展开更多
