Analytical Calculation Method for the Axial Compressive Bearing Capacity of Steel Tube Confined Concrete Considering the Additional Hoop Effect of Temperature by Li WANG, Qiren PAN, Yuxing ZHANG, Lusong YU, Qi HU, Wei LI

“…The current calculation method of the axial compressive bearing capacity of STCC columns did not consider the influence of temperature, resulting in the maximum deviation between the calculated and experimental values ranging from 23% to 51%. However, the theoretical calculation method in this study accounted for the 'temperature-induced additional constraint effect' and the material variability of steel tube core concrete caused by temperature. …”

On the issue of improving the methodology for confirming maximum safe (design) speed of freight railcars by G. I. Gadzhimetov, A. A. Lunin, G. I. Petrov

“…In fact, it is necessary to repeat tests to set running speeds, but in a short time, which is very cost-intensive. Based on the foregoing, in order to eliminate the risks associated with safety violation, to confirm the design speed and in order to reduce costs when applying new rolling stock, a full-scale virtual method has been proposed that provides the use of a computer simulation, in which the design speed specified in the technical documentation is set at the stage of rolling stock development, taking into account the operational variability of car running gear and the track state.…”
