钢管活性粉末混凝土轴压短柱受力性能试验研究

进行22根钢管活性粉末混凝土(钢管RPC)轴压短柱试验,分析其荷载-变形曲线、破坏特征和影响极限承载力的主要因素。试验研究表明:钢管RPC轴压短柱的荷载-纵向应变曲线弹性阶段约为极限荷载的90％~95％;套箍系数ξ较小时,在达到极限荷载后承载力急剧下降;ξ较大时,在达到极限荷载后承载力下降平缓并呈回升趋势。ξ较小的试件多呈剪切破坏形态;ξ较大的试件所有断面上均被墩粗,试件的上、下两端明显局部鼓曲。构件承载力随RPC强度fc的提高而提高,两者基本成线性关系;套箍系数ξ越大,构件承载力也越大,但钢管对RPC的约束效果比对普通混凝土的差。提出的钢管RPC轴压短柱极限承载力的实用计算公式计算出的结果与试验结果吻合良好。     

钢管混凝土拱空间极限承载力高精度分析

采用考虑材料非线性的钢管混凝土拱空间极限承载力计算方法对1个X型双肋拱与1个平行双肋拱进行了空间极限承载力计算。在该方法中，对钢管混凝土拱结构采用纤维单元模型，该模型假定钢管与混凝土完全粘接，钢管对核心混凝土的套箍作用体现在以一维形式表达的核心混凝土的应力-应变关系曲线之中，针对材料非线性分析中单元内各点刚度参差不齐的特点，采用单元内设小元的方法(相当于子结构)，编制了非线性有限元程序，在该程序中，计算模型完全是基于小元层次进行的，比如单元刚度矩阵由小元刚度矩阵凝聚而成，单元节点的残余力由小元节点的残余力构成，故只需改变单元内小元个数这1个参数就可实现对结构的重新划分且极大地降低了非线性方程组的阶数，非常方便且实用。在程序计算结果得到模型试验结果验证的基础上，还对不同的横撑根数对结构空间极限承载力的影响进行了分析。

A regression and beam theory based approach for fatigue assessment of containership structures including bending and torsion contributions

Container shipping has been expanding dramatically during the last decade. Due to their special structural characteristics, such as the wide breadth and large hatch openings, horizontal bending and torsion play an important role to the fatigue safety of containerships. In this study the fatigue contributions from vertical bending, horizontal bending and torsion are investigated using full-scale measurements of strain records on two containerships. Further, these contributions are compared to results from direct calculations where a nonlinear 3D panel method is used to compute wave loads in time domain. It is concluded that both bending and torsion have significant impacts on the fatigue assessment of containerships. The stresses caused by these loads could be correctly computed by full-ship finite element analysis. However, this requires large computational effort, since for fatigue assessment purposes the FE analysis needs to be carried out for all encountered sea states and operational conditions with sufficient time steps for each condition. In this paper, a new procedure is proposed to run the structure finite element analysis under only one sea condition for only a few time steps. Then, these results are used to obtain a relationship between wave loads and structural stresses through a linear regression analysis. This relation can be further used to compute stresses for arbitrary sea states and operational conditions using the computed wave loads (bending and torsion moments) as input. Based on this proposed method for structure stress analysis, an efficient procedure is formulated and found to be in very good agreement with the full-ship finite element analysis. In addition it is several orders of magnitude more time efficient for fatigue assessment of containership structures.     

Autonomous cars: The tension between occupant experience and intersection capacity

Systems that enable high levels of vehicle-automation are now beginning to enter the commercial marketplace. Road vehicles capable of operating independently of real-time human control under an increasing set of circumstances will likely become more widely available in the near future. Such vehicles are expected to bring a variety of benefits. Two such anticipated advantages (relative to human-driver vehicle control) are said to be increased road network capacity and the freeing up of the driver-occupant’s time to engage in their choice of leisurely or economically-productive (non-driving) tasks.In this study we investigate the implications for intersection capacity and level-of-service of providing occupants of automated (without real-time human control), autonomously-operating (without vehicle-to-X communication) cars with ride quality that is equivalent (in terms of maximum rates of longitudinal and lateral acceleration) to two types of rail systems: [urban] light rail transit and [inter-urban] high-speed rail. The literature suggests that car passengers start experiencing discomfort at lower rates of acceleration than car drivers; it is therefore plausible that occupants of an autonomously-operating vehicle may wish to instruct their vehicle to maneuver in a way that provides them greater ride comfort than if the vehicle-control algorithm simply mimicked human-driving-operation.On the basis of traffic microsimulation analysis, we found that restricting the dynamics of autonomous cars to the acceleration/deceleration characteristics of both rail systems leads to reductions in a signalized intersection’s vehicle-processing capacity and increases in delay. The impacts were found to be larger when constraining the autonomous cars’ dynamics to the more-restrictive acceleration/deceleration profile of high-speed rail. The scenarios we analyzed must be viewed as boundary conditions, because autonomous cars’ dynamics were by definition never allowed to exceed the acceleration/deceleration constraints of the rail systems. Appropriate evidence regarding motorists’ preferences does not exist at present; establishing these preferences is an important item for the future research agenda.This paper concludes with a brief discussion of research needs to advance this line of inquiry.
