The effect of attitudes toward cars and public transportation on behavioral intention in commuting mode choice—A comparison across six Asian countries

This study investigated the contribution of psychological factors in explaining the choice of transportation mode in six Asian countries. Data were collected from 1118 respondents in Japan, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The dependent variable was the intention to use one of three modes for work travel after getting a job: car, public transit, or other modes. The explanatory variables were three attitude factors taken from a previous study, including: 1/symbolic affective, reflecting affective motives of travel mode use; 2/instrumental, referring to functional attributes of travel modes; and 3/social orderliness which represents for environmental friendliness, safety, altruism, quietness et cetera. Several logit model estimates were made using the samples from the six countries separately and together. We obtained three main findings. First, attitude variables about the car were all significant determinants for the entire sample from Asian countries. Second, the social orderliness aspect of public transit was a common concern of respondents from developing countries in selecting this mode for work trips. Third, in countries in which the intent to use a car was not very high, attitude factors about the car were found to be significant determinants of the behavioral intention to commute by car but were less significant in countries in which the desire to use a car was high.     

Extension of the super-elements method to the analysis of a jacket impacted by a ship

The aim of this paper is to present a simplified analytical method for estimating the crushing resistance of an oblique cylinder impacted by the stem of a striking ship. The collision angle of the vessel is arbitrary, i.e. oblique collisions are also considered in this article. The two extremities of the tube are assumed to be clamped. These developments are intended to be used for evaluating the crashworthiness of an offshore wind turbines jacket. To achieve this goal, closed-form expressions are first derived for the particular situations of a horizontal and a vertical cylinder by applying the upper-bound method. An interpolation formula is then proposed to get the resistance opposed by the tube for any inclination angle. In order to validate these theoretical developments, some comparisons are made with the results of numerical simulations. These latter are performed using the finite elements software LS-DYNA. In almost all cases, the analytical prediction of the resistance is found to be in quite good agreement with the numerical ones. Finally, another comparison is made by simulating an OSV collision with a full jacket. In this case, the theoretical model is found to be insufficient for large impact energies and points out the need of further research.

水下盾构隧道管片钻穿引起的涌水突泥治理技术研究

水下盾构隧道管片钻穿会引起大量涌水突泥，对隧道建设及运营造成重大影响，且采取的隧道修复措施将影响隧道的长期运营安全。以某地铁隧道被意外钻穿的实例为工程背景，为确保水下隧道意外钻穿破坏时，可以做到临时封堵有效，永久修复满足百年使用要求，提出修复思路。在水面利用浮船进行海上袋装水泥封堵，然后筑岛截断隧道与海水的联系； 临时封堵后监测管片变形、复核隧道中线，明确钻孔对隧道限界的影响； 通过计算对结构安全性进行评价，明确钻孔对管片结构受力影响较小。在确保隧道钻穿对隧道限界及结构的影响可控后，采取地面注浆、洞内注浆、倒锥形封堵、洞内设置内撑钢板相结合的方案，对隧道钻穿处进行治理，保证隧道的安全运营。在隧道周边施工时，应加强隧道保护意识，避免对既有隧道造成破坏。
