Centrifuge performance of LCSM wall reinforced pile-supported wharf subjected to yard load-induced marine slope soil movement

Lattice cement soil mixing (LCSM) walls are constructed to relief the marine slope soil movement that will trigger failure of the pile-supported wharf, the structural performance and pile-soil interactions after the LCSM implementation are major concerns. This paper investigated motion modes, load-displacement relations, soil and pore pressures, and bending moments of pile-supported wharfs with LCSM walls subjected to yard load-induced slope soil movement via centrifuge modeling. Results showed that the LCSM wall tilted to compress the soil and pile, inducing the tilting of the wharf. The lateral structural displacement was effectively restricted by the LCSM wall compared with that of a nonreinforced wharf, but the LCSM wall was not superior to the other lattice wall type with legs in limiting the lateral structural displacement, and the deep LCSM wall worked better at larger soil movement. The rear piles were evidently affected by slope soil movement and were compressed in the middle part. Soil pressures generally increased with increasing yard loads, whereas their distributions were deeply affected by different LCSM wall depths. Pore pressures were greater around the tilting LCSM wall because of larger soil shear areas but dissipated when soil movement stopped. Bending moment distributions indicated evident waterside curvatures in rear piles, whereas waterside curvatures occurred in the upper part and landside curvatures occurred in the lower part in front and middle piles, the effects of LCSM wall types and depth on bending moment distributions were tremendous.

降雨强度对透水沥青混凝土净污能力影响研究

为定量评估降雨强度对透水沥青混合料净化路面径流能力的影响，基于搭建的足尺道路路面平台设计了5种降雨强度下单、双层透水沥青混凝土的人工降雨模拟试验，测定了流经透水沥青混合料前后模拟径流雨水的代表性污染物浓度。结果表明：透水沥青混凝土能有效净化径流污染，且双层透水沥青混凝土的污染净化能力显著优于单层透水沥青混凝土，对悬浮物（SS）、总磷化合物（TP）、重金属锌（Zn）、重金属铅（Pb）、总氮化合物（TN）、化学需氧量（COD）的去除率分别达到80.25%、74.13%、70.30%、65.14%、63.75%、61.38%；随着降雨强度的增大，透水沥青混凝土对径流污染物的净化能力逐渐减弱，通过分析层数、降雨强度对透水沥青混凝土污染物净化率的影响，提出了层系数α和雨强折减系数β，可以通过人工降雨模拟试验结果推算一定降雨强度下实际透水沥青混凝土路面的污染物净化能力，为透水沥青混凝土路面的量化环境评价提供依据。     

Review of the uncertainties associated to hull girder hydroelastic response and wave load predictions

This paper reviews the importance of uncertainties in hull girder loads influenced by flexible fluid structure interactions. The focus is on developments in the field of hydroelastic modelling, simulation and model tests of practical relevance to the prediction hull girder wave load predictions and their validation. It is concluded that whereas hydroelastic methods for use in design development and assessment become increasingly useful, challenges in realizing and modelling uncertainties can be attributed to: (1) the limitations of numerical methods to suitably model nonlinearities; (2) the ambiguity of model tests; and (3) the systematic use of data emerging from computational, model- or full-scale methods. An approach is recommended to assess the uncertainty in the hydroelastic responses to wave loading and an example is provided to demonstrate the application of the procedure.
