Vulnerability Analysis of Catenary-Bridge-Track System
Shock and Vibration, 2023 Continuous welded rails on bridges are extensively employed in high-speed railways, where trains are predominantly electrically powered, and the open-air catenary represents the weakest link in the system.

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of CLT Floor Subassemblies Under Catenary Action [PDF]
World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023 Behaviour under combined axial tension and out-of-plane bending, typically observed in catenary action after loss of a support, was investigated on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) floors. Uni-axial tension tests as well as combined tension and bending tests on CLT component and floor subassembly levels with screw butt joints and varying boundary ...

Active Control of Contact Force for a Pantograph-Catenary System
Shock and Vibration, 2016 The performance of the high speed trains depends critically on the quality of the contact in the pantograph-catenary interaction. Maintaining a constant contact force needs taking special measures and one of the methods is to utilize active control to ...

Strain and crack development in continuous reinforced concrete slabs subjected to catenary action [PDF]
Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 2015 Several structural calamities in the second half of the 20th century have shown that adequate collapse-resistance cannot be achieved by designing the individual elements of a structure without taking their interconnectivity into consideration. It has long been acknowledged that membrane behaviour of reinforced concrete structures can significantly ...

Finite Element Modelling of Catenary Action in a Cross-Laminated Timber Floor System
, 2021 Buildings taller than four storeys require the designer to mitigate consequences of unexpected events, e.g. terrorism or accidents, such that a disproportionate collapse can be avoided after initial damage. One approach to halt damage propagation is using structural robustness, i.e. by providing alternative load paths. For platform-type cross-laminated

Catenary Action in Rebars Crossing a Casting Joint Loaded in Shear [PDF]
, 2016 Reinforcement crossing a casting joint loaded in shear exhibits catenary action as the shear displacement increases. The load carrying capacity of such a joint is in practice often calculated by use of empirical methods to account for shear friction effects or by a first order plastic analysis if dowel action is included.

Numerical investigation of the behaviour of bolted and welded top and seat angle connection in progressive collapse of steel structures [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 After failure of a column in structure by an abnormal loading, undesirable performance and damage of connections of the beams connected to the top of this column, can lead to the local failure of floor and in turn result in progressive collapse in the ...

Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Beam–Slab Substructures Made with Rubberized Concrete
Buildings, 2022 Abnormal loads can produce localized damage that can eventually cause progressive collapse of the whole reinforced concrete (RC) structure. This might have devastating financial repercussions and cause numerous severe casualties.
