The perception of Bus Rapid Transit: a passenger survey from Beijing Southern Axis BRT Line 1

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has emerged as a cost-effective transport system for urban mobility. As a relatively new form of Mass Transit, its ability to provide a high-quality transport service and potential to stimulate land development remain largely unexplored. This study intends to investigate the public attitude towards BRT services, as well as respondents’ perception of living near BRT stations, using the Beijing Southern Axis BRT system as a case study. A data-set of responses to 525 questionnaires were assembled and analysed using a combination of statistical techniques. The results show that BRT has gained great popularity among passengers, and brought about a positive impact on the attractiveness of residential property. The data identify that the majority of passengers are work-related commuters and use BRT more than once a day. The captive users have a higher satisfaction than choice users with respect to reliability, comfort & cleanliness and overall satisfaction with the BRT service. It is argued that the BRT has significantly improved the attractiveness of residential property along the BRT corridor.     

斜坡式防波堤堤心石动力特性试验研究

我国现行规范规定防波堤堤心材料为重量10～100 kg之间的块石,但实际工程往往很难达到这一重量范同的标准.如果利用重量范隔更大(如:1-800 kg)的块石作为堤心石,对整个斜坡堤的正常工作影响如何,同前国内对这方面的研究较少.因此,结合深水斜坡堤的丁程实例,利用模型试验,对不同重量范围的堤心石进行动力特性方面的研究.初步结论认为,1～800 kg块石作为堤心石,其动水压强较10～100 kg的值大,而静水压强较小.

基于隧道断面面积变化的围岩稳定性判别

随着新奥法施工技术的广泛应用,围岩的动态变形越来越受到人们的关注。目前,我国主要是通过监测典型节点的位移来判断围岩变形的稳定性。典型节点的变形并不能代表整个围岩断面的变形状况,该方法存在一定的缺陷,因此提出采用隧道断面面积变化的方法来评价围岩变形的稳定性。采用突变理论数学方法计算Ⅳ级和Ⅴ级围岩在不同埋深条件下断面面积的变化值,得出面积变化的极限值,最终以此极限值作为判定围岩变形稳定的判据。

基于Hoek-Brown模型的铁路隧道围岩分级研究

铁路是一种典型的带状交通工程,山区铁路往往穿越多种复杂的地质条件,地质勘察工作量大。为基于常规的地质调查,快速分析出沿线岩层的物理力学参数和围岩分级结果,基于Hoek-Brown强度准则,对岩体宏观物理力学参数进行反演预测,建立基于常规调查和室内试验的围岩宏观力学参数分级模型。同时,采用C#编制岩体宏观力学参数估算软件,应用该软件可以便捷地对岩体的多项宏观物理力学参数进行分析。通过模型各参数的敏感性分析,发现GSI的取值是影响隧道围岩物理力学参数的关键性指标,并重点对道扎子隧道围岩的宏观物理力学参数进行取值研究,基于分析结果对道扎子隧道混合岩地层的围岩进行快速分级,有效地指导工程设计。

Roll- and pitch-plane coupled hydro-pneumatic suspension

Passive fluidically coupled suspensions have been considered to offer a promising alternative solution to the challenging design of a vehicle suspension system. A theoretical foundation, however, has not been established for fluidically coupled suspension to facilitate its broad applications to various vehicles. The first part of this study investigates the fundamental issues related to feasibility and properties of the passive, full-vehicle interconnected, hydro-pneumatic suspension configurations using both analytical and simulation techniques. Layouts of various interconnected suspension configurations are illustrated based on two novel hydro-pneumatic suspension strut designs, both of which provide a compact design with a considerably large effective working area. A simplified measure, vehicle property index, is proposed to permit a preliminary evaluation of different interconnected suspension configurations using qualitative scaling of the bounce-, roll-, pitch- and warp-mode stiffness properties. Analytical formulations for the properties of unconnected and three selected X-coupled suspension configurations are derived, and simulation results are obtained to illustrate their relative stiffness and damping properties in the bounce, roll, pitch and warp modes. The superior design flexibility feature of the interconnected hydro-pneumatic suspension is also discussed through sensitivity analysis of a design parameter, namely the annular piston area of the strut. The results demonstrate that a full-vehicle interconnected hydro-pneumatic suspension could provide enhanced roll- and pitch-mode stiffness and damping, while retaining the soft bounce- and warp-mode properties. Such an interconnected suspension thus offers considerable potential in realising enhanced decoupling among the different suspension modes.
