Mobile phone use while driving: public opinions on restrictions

This paper reviews two road-user surveys on the use of mobile phones on the road in Finland where the mobile phone ownership rate is highest in the world (70% in August 2000). From 1998 to 1999 the proportion of drivers that chose to use a mobile phone while driving rose from 56% to 68%, while the proportion of phone using drivers who experienced dangerous situations due to phone use rose from 44% to 50%. The proportion of drivers who used their phones in some way to benefit safety on the road remained at about 55%. The youngest, novice drivers had the highest level of phone usage of all age categories. Over 48% of the interviewees believed that the government should ban the use of hand-held mobile phones while driving, and another 27% believed that all types of mobile phone use should be banned while driving. Those drivers who used their phones the most each day were more likely to want some form of restrictions, than those who had lower usage. This is a strong message to the elected lawmakers and raises the problem of exactly how regulatory bodies would go about controlling the future growth of new driver support and non-driving related communication devices in road vehicles. It was concluded that legislating for hands-free use only would be a reasonable course of action. Mandating that the current generation of equipment should be optimized for hands-free use should result in future generations of in-vehicle equipment also being optimized for hands-free use as a minimum criterion.

钢箱筒基础结构应用优势及前景

钢箱筒基础结构是由桶形基础发展而来,桶形基础取代桩基作为海上采油平台基础在国内外获得成功应用。结合钢箱筒结构取代抛石基床作为码头和防波堤基础首次在工程中成功应用的实践,论述了钢箱筒结构特点和作用机理。钢箱筒结构具有加工制作快捷、浮运稳定、就位下沉简便、下沉上浮方便可兼作施工平台、后期沉降稳定等特点,拥有节约成本、缩短工期、保证质量等优势。钢箱筒结构在水运工程中尤其是渤海湾淤泥质海岸作为码头和防波堤结构基础拥有很好的应用前景。     

浅述施工企业安全工作的科学管理

传统安全管理模式的着眼点是在系统运行阶段,致使事故防不胜防。而科学化安全管理,其着眼点是在对危险进行预先识别、分析和控制上,变“事后处理”为“事先控制”,防患于未然。企业管理者必须要转变观念,以人为本,提高专业素质,采用形式多样的人性化管理手段,才能促进现代施工尤其是隧道施工企业安全工作尽早实现科学管理。     

有限元和条分结合法计算边坡静力稳定性探讨

对于边坡稳定性计算通常采用不平衡推力法（如瑞典圆弧法和Bisho法等）和有限元计算方法，两者在计算本质上没有区别，但在计算过程中都存在不足。不平衡推力法在稳定性计算时要对潜在的滑面进行假设搜索，相对计算工作量较大，然而采用有限元分析的方法，在计算过程中往往由于判断收敛标准的不同，会出现不同的稳定性计算结果。文章利用两者的优点进行结合，分析计算得到边坡在静力条件下的稳定性。
