钢桥面板顶板-纵肋连接接头的疲劳性能

对钢桥面板整体模型进行了有限元分析。结果表明,顶板横向应力在横桥向的分布表现出类似弹性支承多跨连续梁的受力特点,且顶板横向应力基本全部为弯曲应力,膜应力很小,在顶板-纵肋连接处纵肋应力远小于顶板横向应力。顶板-纵肋连接处的应力纵向和横向影响线很短,疲劳验算可不考虑同一车辆轴重间的相互影响及多车效应。增加顶板厚度可大大降低顶板的应力幅,铺装层的完整性对钢桥面板十分重要。此外,还对该类型接头的疲劳分级及现行欧洲规范Eurocode和美国规范AASHTO LRFD的相关条款进行了分析。为考虑车辆荷载通过引起的非成比例多轴疲劳效应,轮荷载滚动加载足尺模型试验和分析方法需要进一步深入研究。     

Policy considerations for wetland wastewater treatment in the coastal zone: A case study for Louisiana

Two major environmental problems currently affecting the Louisiana coastal zone are a high rate of wetland loss and high levels of surface water pollution. The application of secondarily treated wastewater to wetlands can be a means of dealing with both of these problems. The benefits of wetland wastewater treatment include improved surface water quality, increased accretion rates to balance a high relative water level rise due mainly to subsidence, improved plant productivity and habitat quality, and decreased capital outlays for conventional engineering treatment systems. Wetland treatment systems can, therefore, be designed and operated to restore deteriorating wetlands. Hydrologically altered wetlands, which are common in the Louisiana coastal zone, are appropriate for receiving municipal and some types of industrial effluent. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined wetland wastewater treatment is effective in treating municipal effluent, it has discouraged the use of natural wetlands for this purpose. At the same time, funds are being used for the construction of artificial wetlands to treat municipal effluent. In the Louisiana coastal zone, however, wetlands are deteriorating and disappearing due to hydrological alteration and a high rate of relative sea level rise. If no action is taken, these trends will continue. Effluent discharge to existing wetlands should be incorporated into a comprehensive management plan designed to increase sediment and nutrient input into subsiding wetlands in the Louisiana coastal zone, improve water quality, and result in more economical waste‐water treatment. The authors believe that the Louisiana example serves as a model for other coastal areas especially in light of projections of accelerated sea level rise.     

The cost of not holding back the sea: Toward a national sample of economic vulnerability

Abstract

National and regional estimates of U.S. economic vulnerability to greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise are produced from a sample of 30 discrete regions scattered evenly along the coastline. Scenarios that envision 50 cm, 100 cm, and 200 cm of greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise are considered. They can be expected to place $39.2, $65.6, and $133.3 billion, respectively, (1989 dollars) of existing development in jeopardy through 2050, and $133.3, $308.7, and $909.4 billion through 2100. Sampling error and consideration of the uncertainty with which we currently view future greenhouse‐induced sea‐level rise places the 25th and 75th percentile values of expected cumulative vulnerability at $38.5 and $76.7 billion through 2050 and $132.6 and $362.4 billion through 2100. Not surprisingly, the southeast displays the largest potential vulnerability, with the northeast ranking second above both the Gulf coast and the west coast.     

State ocean policy initiatives in Florida

Abstract

A territorial sea comprising 6.7 million acres of offshore lands extending three geographic miles into the Atlantic Ocean three marine leagues (nine geographic miles) into the Gulf of Mexico makes Florida the second largest “oceanowning”; state in the contiguous United States. Florida's history, climate, economic development, and worldwide reputation have evolved from the state's relationship with the sea. The state is now becoming aware that aggressive management of its ocean resources is necessary to preserve the future of that relationship. The purpose of this article is to present some of Florida's recent legal and policy initiatives that have been directed toward better understanding and management of ocean resources and uses.     

客土喷播技术在泌桐高速公路的应用

随着我国高速公路的发展,高速公路边坡防护的形式已由以往惯用的圬工防护向植被防护等生态防护形式发展。边坡植被防护不仅能消除和缓解高速公路对客观环境造成的不良影响,减小区域性水土流失,而且实现公路与自然景观的可持续协调发展。针对泌桐高速公路上实施的植被防护技术之一的客土喷播技术,从原理、机械设备、材料、施工工艺等方面做了详尽的介绍。根据对泌桐高速公路沿线的自然环境概况（包括气候、土壤、植被、工程情况）的研究,提出了新型的客土喷播技术的适用条件、植物种类选择及配比方案、施工工艺等,并从设计、施工角度提出了改进意见。
