Will China’s airline industry survive the entry of high-speed rail?

This study investigates the effects of high-speed rail (HSR) services on Chinese airlines. Our analysis suggests that the HSR service will be competitive in terms of network connectivity, total travel time and cost efficiency. On the other hand, growth of the Chinese airline industry has been unbalanced in terms of traffic distribution, airline network development, airport capacity and share of international traffic. While the long term prospects of Chinese airlines are bright, the carriers must develop effective hub-and-spoke networks and increase their competitiveness in international markets in order to achieve sustainable growth in the coming years. For the Chinese government, continued investment at hub airports and support to low-cost carriers are also necessary.

粘贴钢板补强技术在国贸桥加固中的应用

目前,用于桥梁补强加固的方法主要有碳纤维加固、粘贴钢板加固等。该文介绍了北京国贸桥一期异形板板底加固采用了粘贴钢板补强加固方法。即:采用化学锚栓将钢板锚固于桥面,钢板与桥面间预留缝隙,四周封口后采用高效改性环氧粘接剂灌注填充缝隙。此方法具有较高的强度、刚度、稳定性、整体性和耐久性,可供今后类似工程借鉴。

浅析桥梁灌注桩的施工质量控制与检测

该文指出:据统计分析,目前公路桥梁的下部结构基础施工中,大部分采用的是桩基础。桩基是一种极为有效、安全可靠的基础形式,能将上部结构荷载有效地传递到深层稳定的土层中,在很多程度上减少基础沉降。但是桩基础的施工,通常是在地面下或水下进行施工的,施工的工序比较复杂,质量控制难度比较大,稍有不慎易产生断桩等严重缺陷。因此,对桥梁桩基础的施工管理与质量检测就显得非常重要。

Across the waves: a bibliometric analysis of container shipping research since the 1960s

The paper investigates collaborative and semantic patterns that emerged between 1967 and 2013 about the theme of container shipping based on a corpus of 294 articles published in scholarly journals within the fields of transportation, supply chain, economics, geography, regional planning and development, and operations research. An analysis based on the co-occurrence of title words allows identifying dominant sub-themes and their evolution. Main results point to the gradual diversification of container shipping research, from the dominance of economics towards a more trans-disciplinary set of approaches which integrate port-related activities and multimodal networks. Yet, disciplinary specialization remains strong up to nowadays so that container shipping research remains rather fragmented. While co-authorships have increased over time, they remain polarized by few, weakly connected research battalions. Our study suggests that research on container shipping would benefit from more frequent contacts between such communities to foster in-depth cross-disciplinary studies and fundamental cooperation.
