小方型系数船舶的船体波浪载荷综合研究

从船级社规范对于不符合主尺度比要求的船舶船体梁波浪载荷的规定出发,采用理论预报和船模试验2种综合方式,进行了小于0.6方型系数、高航速、高海况目标船的波浪载荷研究.从规范对波浪载荷的线性理论预报值进行的非线性修正,修正后中拱和中垂波浪弯矩绝对值之和与线性理论预报极值全幅值相等出发,阐述所研究船特殊主尺度比下的模型试验结果、三维非线性水弹性理论预报结果显示出的波浪载荷非线性行为;同时综合模型试验与理论预报的共同规律,研究不同波高、航速、浪向等非常规船型船体波浪载荷的强非线性行为,从而认为规范基于的线性理论预报值进行非线性修正的统一规定太过笼统,进而建议规范对波浪载荷的非线性修正予以进一步的明确区分和规定.

钻孔灌注桩水化热会暖化冻土引起桩基承载力下降,以桩基水化热在时间与空间上的影响效应为研究目的,结合青藏公路G214沿线查拉坪旱桥桩基观测数据,分析水化热对地温场的扰动范围以及桩周土回冻时间,给出灌注桩18 d内的养护温度。结果表明:水化热对距桩1.95 m以外地温影响微弱;144 d后桩侧温度降至0℃以下,229 d后桩侧温度低于-0.5℃;2 a后桩侧基本回冻至天然地温,此时承载力已达到设计要求。桩基混凝土养护温度前5 d在10℃以上,5~12 d在5℃以上,12~15 d为2℃以上,15~18 d仍高于0℃。通过数值仿真给出混凝土入模温度及桩基施工时间对桩周温度场的影响,模拟结果显示,该区域的灌注桩施工可以在相应规范规定范围内提高混凝土入模温度;灌注桩施工可以在冷季进行,但要做好5 m以上深度桩基混凝土的温控措施。     

Analytical and simulation approaches to understand combined effects of transit signal priority and road-space priority measures

Transit signal priority (TSP) may be combined with road-space priority (RSP) measures to increase its effectiveness. Previous studies have investigated the combination of TSP and RSP measures, such as TSP with dedicated bus lanes (DBLs) and TSP with queue jump lanes (QJLs). However, in these studies, combined effects are usually not compared with separate effects of each measure. In addition, there is no comprehensive study dedicated to understanding combined effects of TSP and RSP measures. It remains unclear whether combining TSP and RSP measures creates an additive effect where the combined effect of TSP and RSP measures is equal to the sum of their separate effects. The existence of such an additive effect would suggest considerable benefits from combining TSP and RSP measures. This paper explores combined effects of TSP and RSP measures, including TSP with DBLs and TSP with QJLs. Analytical results based on time-space diagrams indicate that at an intersection level, the combined effect on bus delay savings is smaller than the additive effect if there is no nearside bus stop and the traffic condition in the base case is under-saturated or near-saturated. With a near-side bus stop, the combined effect on bus delay savings at an intersection level can be better than the additive effect (or over-additive effect), depending on dwell time, distance from the bus stop to the stop line, traffic demand, and cycle length. In addition, analytical results suggest that at an arterial level, the combined effect on bus delay savings can be the over-additive effect with suitable signal offsets. These results are confirmed by a micro-simulation case study. Combined effects on arterial and side-street traffic delays are also discussed.

组合型水泥粉煤灰碎石桩(CFG桩)复合地基在深厚软基处理中的应用

在深厚软土地基(fak≤100 kPa)上建造储罐等建筑物,承载力要求高、不均匀沉降变形要求严,若采用单一CFG桩复合地基加固,可能导致桩距过小或桩长太长,需要采用组合型复合地基,CFG桩+振冲碎石桩复合地基是组合型复合地基的一种。根据CFG桩+碎石桩组合型复合地基的加固机理,分析了其受力特性以及CFG桩和碎石桩的作用,研究表明CFG桩对提高地基承载力和减小沉降起控制作用。基于优化理论,建立了组合复合地基的优化设计方法。通过工程实例讨论了组合复合地基的优化设计方法,结果表明:复合地基的承载力、沉降量和经济效益均满足工程要求。     

Adoption of alternative fuel vehicles: Influence from neighbors,family and coworkers

During the last years, many governments have set targets for increasing the share of biofuels in the transportation sector. Understanding consumer behavior is essential in designing policies that efficiently increase the uptake of cleaner technologies. In this paper we analyze adopters and non-adopters of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). We use diffusion of innovation theory and the established notion that the social system and interpersonal influence play important roles in adoption. Based on a nationwide database of car owners we analyze interpersonal influence on adoption from three social domains: neighbors, family and coworkers. The results point primarily at a neighbor effect in that AFV adoption is more likely if neighbors also have adopted. The results also point at significant effects of interpersonal influence from coworkers and family members but these effects weaken or disappear when income, education level, marriage, age, gender and green party votes are controlled for. The results extend the diffusion of innovation and AFV literature with empirical support for interpersonal influence based on objective data where response bias is not a factor. Implications for further research, environmental and transport policy, and practitioners are discussed.
