Mechanism of smoke suppression by melamine in rigid polyurethane foam

The smoke suppression of rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) modified by melamine was investigated based on three sections: the condensed phase, the carbon layer, and the gas phase. In the condensed phase, the results of thermogravimetry, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) N1S spectrum, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that melamine could suppress the degradation of RPUF by reacting with the aromatic hydrocarbons. It also reduced the smoke generation because the volatilizable aromatic hydrocarbons were the principal smoke precursors in a fire. In the carbon layer, the decrease from 38.50% to 24.76% of the inner layer oxygen content identified by XPS full‐spectrum and C1S spectrum indicated that melamine could prevent oxygen from transferring into the inner foam by the formation of an enhanced surface carbon layer, and the enhanced carbon layer could also block the release of smoke precursors. In the gas phase, the content of total aromatic hydrocarbons declined to 59.12% according to pyrolysis gaseous chromatography mass spectroscopy and indicated that melamine could reduce the smoke precursors. The results of smoke density chamber and cone calorimeter tests revealed that the addition of the melamine could decrease the smoke density of burning RPUF.

分布式连接全装配RC楼盖动力特性分析

为研究分布式连接全装配RC楼盖(DCPCD)的动力特性,进行了 4个足尺DCPCD试件和一个整浇板试件在两端简支条件下的锤击法试验和数值模拟分析,研究了 DCPCD的板缝构造、连接件锚固方式、边界约束条件和自重等对楼盖竖向动力特性的影响.试验结果表明:与整浇板相比DCPCD横板向刚度较小,自振频率较低,板缝构造是影响楼盖刚度和振动特性的主要因素;连接件数量越多,楼盖的刚度和自振频率越高;板缝数量越多,楼盖的刚度和自振频率越低.所提出的有限元模拟方法可以准确模拟DCPCD的动力特性;连接件锚固强度越高,楼盖的刚度和自振频率越高;两端嵌固约束下的楼盖基频比两端简支约束下提高了 70％;随着楼盖自重的增加,自振频率显著降低.研究结果可为四边约束下楼盖的竖向振动特性与人致激励响应研究提供参考和依据.     

Owner’s Risk Allocation and Contractor’s Role Behavior in a Project: A Parallel-mediation Model

Risk allocation decisions are of critical importance in project management. The present study proposes an explanation for how risk allocation in a contract motivates a contractor to cooperate with a project owner. Theories of risk allocation and trust were used to motivate the research. Using a survey methodology, we collected data concerning 124 construction projects in China. We found that risk allocation influenced the contractor’s role behavior through the contractor’s feeling of being trusted but not the contractor’s trust in the owner. Feeling of being trusted partially mediated the effect of risk allocation on the contractor’s in-role (i.e., contractual) behavior and fully mediated the effect on extra-role behavior. The study introduces a social and psychological view of the impacts of risk allocation to the project and engineering management literature. We contribute to theory by arguing and demonstrating the mediating effect of trust on the relationship between risk allocation and contractor behavior. From a practical standpoint, we conclude that contractual risk allocation has a significant impact on building a trusting relationship between owners and contractors and that contractors who feel trusted perform both contractually mandated actions and actions external to the contract more diligently, resulting in the likelihood of improved outcomes for both parties.     

Comparative analysis on performance of vertical drain improved clay deposit under vacuum or surcharge loading

This paper presents two well-instrumented large-scale field tests of PVD-improved soft soil with vacuum and surcharge preloading, respectively. The two large-scale field tests were conducted adjacent to each other with the same preload. A comparative analysis was performed to investigate the performance of subsoil (i.e., the ground settlement, the layered settlement, the lateral displacement of subsoil and pore water pressure) under vacuum preloading and equivalent surcharge preloading. Some design methods were verified based on the field data. Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) and Vane Shear Tests (VST) were conducted to assess the improvement effects on subsoil after preloading. The results showed that as compared with surcharge preloading, vacuum preloading mitigated the differential settlement of the ground. The vacuum pressure transmitted into the soil with a minor loss through the PVD length. From a practical point of view, the improvement effects by vacuum preloading and surcharge preloading were similar in terms of influence depth and soil strength based on the in-situ tests.     

从频谱监测和国际协调探讨短波广播频段扩展的可行性

短波广播能够实现远距离和大范围的覆盖，至今仍是进行地区性、全国性及国际性广播覆盖的最好手段之一。ITU在2001年4月批准的1514建议书《30MHz以下广播频段的数字声音广播系统》，正式确定了DRM系统为全球统一的数字广播系统。在短波广播由模拟向数字化过渡的进程中，如何解决短波广播频谱短缺的问题，本文根据国家相关的频谱监测和国际短波频率协调的情况，对短波广播中4～10MHz频谱的扩展可行性进行初步分析。
