An analytical model to determine the ultimate load on masonry arch bridges.

This paper proposes an analytical elasto–plastic model to describe the behavior of arches. The modeling is carried out using the equations of (i) horizontal equilibrium, (ii) vertical equilibrium and (iii) equilibrium of moments. The latter equations of equilibrium are ordinary differential equations which can easily be solved by adding boundary conditions, imposing restrictions on the horizontal and vertical movement and on the rotation in the abutments of the arch. For masonry arches, including material properties allowing the occurrence of cracks and the subsequent formation of hinges is required. The latter theory has been implemented in a computer program (Matlab), offering numerical simulations. The software was used to illustrate two case-studies, i.e., the assessment of an arch loaded with a vertical point load and one with a horizontal point load.     

Interaction of richlocain with some linear and crosslinked polymers

The interaction of local anesthetic drug richlocain with linear polyacrylic acid and crosslinked sodium polyacrylate, linear and crosslinked acrylic acid-Schiff base copolymers has been investigated. The compositions of forming polymer-drug complexes were determined. The influence of external factors such as pH, ionic strength, temperature and thermodynamic quality of solvent on the stability of these complexes was studied. The kinetics and activation energy of drug release from the gel matrix has been evaluated.     

Scale Transition in Steel-Concrete Interaction. II:?Applications

The proposed mode of consideration of the steel-concrete interaction (Part I) is applied to real-life engineering structures. Two structures recently investigated numerically at Vienna University of Technology are considered: (1) the reinforced concrete (RC) cooling tower III Ptolema?s SES (Greece) and (2) a part of the shotcrete tunnel lining installed at the Lainzer tunnel (Austria). In both examples, the uniaxial fracture criterion used in Part I is replaced by the maximum stress (Rankine) criterion. Together with the Drucker-Prager criterion, which is used for the simulation of compressive failure of concrete/shotcrete, it defines the space of admissible stress states in the framework of multisurface plasticity. For the simulation of early-age fracture of shotcrete, consideration of the steel-concrete interaction presented in Part I of this paper is extended towards young shotcrete. Similar to the benchmark problem investigated in Part I of this paper, several analyses with different degrees of consideration of the steel-concrete interaction are performed. The obtained results give insight into the influence of the steel-concrete interaction on the load-carrying behavior of the investigated structures.     

Levy型劲性支撑穹顶结构连续倒塌分析

劲性支撑穹顶结构在遭受意外冲击时,可能发生连续倒塌,造成财产损失,甚至人员伤亡,因此分析其连续倒塌性能十分必要。依据Levy型劲性支撑穹顶结构的特点,给出了杆件阀值系数及其计算公式,提出了连续倒塌判别准则及倒塌类型。提出了基于响应差值的损伤系数,给出了杆件重要性系数。依据杆件重要性系数对Levy型劲性支撑穹顶结构的杆件重要性进行计算并排序。基于连续倒塌判别准则和杆件重要性分析结果,提出了连续倒塌分析方法和流程,分析了结构的连续倒塌性能,讨论矢跨比、初始预应力对连续倒塌性能的影响。给出了劲性支撑穹顶结构抗连续倒塌的方法。研究表明：Levy型劲性支撑穹顶结构的连续倒塌类型分为无倒塌、局部倒塌和整体倒塌。结构外环杆重要性系数最大,其次是内环杆。外环杆、内环杆和节点发生破坏,结构将发生连续倒塌,其它杆件破坏结构不会发生倒塌。矢跨比越小、初始预应力越大,杆件的重要性越小。可加强节点和环向杆件根数提高结构的抗连续倒塌能力。

Numerical analysis of seepage flow characteristic of collapse column under the influence of mining

Based on the importance of fractured rock mass seepage research, in order to analyze seepage flow characteristics of collapse column under the influence of mining, a method by embedding fractured rock mass flow solid coupling relationship into FLAC^3D internal flow models is presented according to fluid–solid coupling theory and strength criterion. A calculation model of numerical analysis was established, and the influences of mining pressure and plastic damage to pore water pressure and seepage vector change rule were studied. The results show that collapse column is the main channel of confined water seepage upward. The impact is not big when the workface is away from the collapse column. But when the workface is nearing a collapse column, there will be a seepage channel on a side near the workface, in which seepage vector and head are comparatively large. With workface pushing through collapse column, the seepage channel transfers to the other side of the column. In addition, when the plastic damage area within the collapse column breaks through, a “pipeline flow” will be formed within the column, and seepage field will change remarkably and the possibility of water bursting will be greater.     

复杂地质条件下导流洞塌方的离散元法模拟研究

锦屏一级水电站左岸导流洞地质条件非常复杂,地应力极高,节理、断层发育,施工过程中发生了较大规模的塌方。基于离散元法模拟主要节理和断层,建立计算模型,通过计算和分析,得到导流洞围岩的变形破坏规律。导流洞开挖后,围岩应力释放,结构面松弛、滑移,导致围岩边墙首先产生纵向裂缝,拱顶出现掉块;随着结构面变形加剧,边墙沿结构面进一步滑移张开,拱顶的支撑作用减弱导致坍塌,计算模拟和实际塌方情况基本一致。
