The tunnel’s overall deflection adopts an “M” shape, and the computation using the variable-section FGB portrays the existing tunnel’s deformation trend with heightened accuracy, diminishing the calculation error from 35 to 8.3% compared to the conventional normal section beam. A comparative analysis of theoretical calculations, monitoring data, and numerical simulation results exhibits substantial concurrence across the three methods. The proposed method is then integrated with the Mindlin stress solution to evaluate construction impact on an existing tunnel within a foundation pit project in Shenzhen. Furthermore, when the beam stiffness adheres to a Gaussian distribution along the axial direction of the beam, a significant increase in displacement at the boundary position of the beam is observed. The results indicate that an asymmetrical distribution of stiffness on either side of the midpoint could increase the displacement at the middle section. Additional analysis is conducted on displacement and internal force variation when the beam stiffness follows different distribution along the axial direction. The P–T model degenerates to the Winkler–Timoshenko model (W–T model) when the foundation’s shear layer stiffness is set to zero. The semi-analytical solution is subsequently compared with finite difference solution results from prior studies, affirming the accuracy and precision of the proposed computational theory. Employing the variational principle and the transfer-matrix method, and considering the shear stiffness of the axially FGB structure itself, along with the continuity and shear strength of the soil, a semi-analytical solution for displacement and internal force of axially FGBs on Pasternak foundation (termed as P–T model) is derived in this paper. Therefore, the incorporation of variable-section FGBs theory into the analysis of structural and soil interactions is crucial for advancing engineering applications. They enhance the performance of functionally graded beams (FGBs) under various loading conditions.
To begin, first select a unit which will be used throughout the calculator.Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are commonly utilized in construction projects. The calculator can be used for the following beam sections: I-beam sections, Recangular sections, Hollow Recangular sections, Circular sections, Hollow Circular Sections, Triangular Sections, T-beam sections and L-beam Sections. For more information on moment of inertia, or to learn how to calculate the moment of inertia of a section, please visit our Tutorial pages. This is because the maximum moment and shear will occur at the top/bottom of the beam sections. Typically for beams, the I xx is the moment of inertia that is relevant. The Section Modulus Z x and Z y will also be calculated. This includes the the section’s area, centroid or center of mass (in both X and Y direction) and the moments of inertia (or moments of area) I xx and I yy. Simply enter the dimensions of your section, and the properties of the section will be calculated for you. The calculator is easy to use and will calculate the moment of inertia of a beam’s section.
