A study on the determinants of private car ownership in China: Findings from the panel data

This study examines the determinants of private car ownership in China. The target cities are 32 provincial capital cities and the target period is from 2001 to 2011. In order to capture the individual effects (heterogeneity), the fixed and random effect models are adopted and compared, in which 8 explanatory variables are selected to include economic characteristics, urban characteristics, and transportation characteristics. Moreover, double natural logarithm model is employed to measure the elastic relationship between the private car ownership and regressors. The estimated results show that the fixed effect model performs better than pooled regression model and the random effect model. In addition, there are variations of private car ownership among cities and regions. Finally, the influence of factors responsible for these variations is also presented and discussed in this paper.     

Commute duration and health: Empirical evidence from Brazil

There have been many empirical studies associating commuting time and health outcomes in the last few decades. Their general conclusion is that commuting and health are negatively related. The validity of their findings, however, is questionable, given their lack of good identification strategies to correctly account for omitted variables. In this paper, we analyze this relationship using a large and unique nationally representative sample of Brazilian individuals, coupled with the use of propensity score matching techniques, and the application of an exhaustive set of standard falsification tests and sensitivity analysis that may prevent one from claiming a causal link between the two variables. Our results indicate that individuals with more than one hour of commuting appear to have statistically higher probability, ranging from 1.9 to 4.6 percentage points, of reporting bad health status when compared to a person whose commuting time is less than one hour.

四线铁路超宽圆端形薄壁空心桥墩温度效应分析

以兰渝铁路四线车站桥的圆端形空心桥墩为对象,对其实测温度场分布数据进行分析总结,并采用ANSYS软件三维瞬态热-应力耦合场分析方法,对其在寒潮降温和日照升温作用下温度应力进行计算。结果表明,四线超宽空心墩与普通双线空心墩的温度效应表现相当,并无十分明显的差别,温差应力并不会因为超宽而出现特别明显的增大或减小现象,纵向隔板的设置对超宽空心墩的温度效应没有特别明显的影响和作用,但由温差引起的空心墩环向和竖向应力值较大,需要设置合理的墩身钢筋解决混凝土开裂问题。     

地铁站台火灾不同排烟模式下排烟效果的数值模拟研究

运用火灾动力学模拟软件FDS,对广州某一地铁车站岛式站台端部发生5MW火灾的情况进行数值模拟研究,对比分析不同排烟模式下地铁站内的顶棚温度分布、人眼特征高度处温度、能见度、CO浓度分布以及楼梯口风速分布情况,分析其排烟效果是否满足人员安全疏散的要求。结果表明,对于顶棚温度和人眼特征高度处能见度而言,3种排烟模式都能满足要求。对于楼梯口新风风速而言,排烟口为11个的排烟模式不满足要求。比较3种模式下温度和CO浓度的扩散范围,发现排烟口为22个的排烟模式的控烟效果较好,更有利于人员的安全疏散。

强、过盐渍土地区高速公路路基阻盐技术研究

依托察尔汗至格尔木高速公路工程试验段，分析总结了盐渍土地区盐分在路基中的迁移方式以及影响盐分迁移的因素。从隔断层铺筑、路基填料的控制、护坡道和排碱沟设置方面，研究了察尔汗盐湖区高速公路路基阻盐技术。现场阻盐效果检测结果表明:水、盐在砾类土路基内部迁移高度为50 cm，次生盐渍化临界高度为45 cm，未发现路基由于次生盐渍化引起的沉陷和不均匀沉降等病害；公路投入运营以来，经历过两个雨季和两个冻融期，路基和地基整体沉降量3个月为0～2 mm，采用的阻盐技术处治效果良好。
