The study on which this paper is based developed a simulation model, using system dy- namics methodology, to assess the sustainable performance of projects. Three major factors are used to examine project sus- tainable performance (PSP): the sustainability of economic development (E), the sustainability of social development (S), and the sustainability of environmental development (En). Sustainable development ability (SDA) was used as a prototype to evaluate the degree of sustainable performance. The simulation software ‘ithink’ was used to help with the application of the model to a real life case. This paper explains and demonstrates the procedures used to develop the model and finally offers an approach for assessing the feasibility of a construction project in terms of its sustainable performance.展开更多

Based on the results of finite element analysis, the stress contour graphs and displacement vector graphs at different construction steps were obtained, and the behavior of the slope during stabilization construction process was analyzed quantitatively. Based on the analysis of safety factors of three different schemes of stabilization and two different construction schemes, the assessment of stability and bracing design of the construction process were performed. The results show that the original reinforcement design is improper; the stability of the rock slope is controlled by a developed structural plane, the stability factor after excavation is less than 1, and the free surface should be braced in time; for stability, the construction sequence should adopt that bracing follows excavation step by step up to down; the local slide occurred during the construction process agrees with the dangerous slide determined by the numerical analysis, which proves the validity and rationality of the adopted method.展开更多

To solve this problem, we proposed an electro-controlled hydraulic driving fan cooling system (ECHDFCS). The system was applied to a 50-wheel loader. We carried out the coolant temperature simulation using fluid modeling software FLOWMASTER, followed by laboratory experiments and road tests. The results show that ECHDFCS can adjust the cooling capability of the system automatically based on machine heat dissipation requirements. The coolant temperature is consequently remained within an appropriate range. The simulation results are consistent with the experiment results when the experiment is performed on the plain, but are different from the road tests in some investigated parameters on the plateau.展开更多

CYCLONE simulation model takes charge of simulating stochastic duration of activity and efficiency of resources, while CPM model performs project scheduling. This combination avoids the shortcomings of both models. Furthermore, geographic information system (GIS) technique is utilized to visualize the construction processes which are otherwise difficult to be understood by static results described. Application in practical project verifies the feasibility and advantage of the technique.展开更多

All formation energies are positive for WZ and ZB Cdl-xZnxS alloys, which means that the Cdl-xZnxS alloys are unstable and have a tendency to phase separation. For WZ and ZB Cdl_xZnxS alloys, the consolute temperatures are 655 K and 604 K, respectively, and they both have an asymmetric miscibility gap. We obtained the spatial distributions of Cd and Zn atoms in WZ and ZB Cd0.sZn0.sS alloys at different temperatures by MC simulations. We found that both WZ and ZB phases of Cdo.sZn0.sS alloy exhibit phase segregation of Cd and Zn atoms at low temperature, which is consistent with the phase diagrams.展开更多

文摘The Riyadh metro project is one of the current megaprojects that aim to improve the transit systems in Saudi Arabia.It consists of several metro lines with a total length of 176 km and 85 stations.The viaducts are considered as one of the main construction elements in the metro lines.Four methods for viaducts construction have been used in the Riyadh metro project:precast beam,full span launching method,cast on-site,and segment method(precast segment method and BCM(balanced cantilever method)).The viaducts work consumes a large portion of a project’s time and cost.Furthermore,the competitive nature of the construction industry increases the need to improve the efficiency of construction performance.Accordingly,this paper takes the initial steps toward increasing the efficiency of viaduct construction methods through simulation.Simulation of construction processes provides a systematic tool that can be used for determining the resources,time,and cost of these processes.The simulation processes should focus on the main activities affecting this element’s execution for viaducts construction,such as segment storage,handling,transporting,and installation.This study highlights the viaducts construction methods and develops general discrete-event simulation models for the most commonly used viaducts construction methods in the Riyadh metro using AnyLogic simulation software.The simulation models visualize and capture the interaction between the different activities and resources in a viaduct construction.Consequently,the construction drawbacks can be identified.Furthermore,the simulation model can be manipulated by adding assumptions to develop more efficient construction methods in terms of time and cost in such projects.

文摘The first-principles calculations based on density functional theory combined with cluster expansion techniques and Monte Carlo （MC） simulations were used to study the phase diagrams of both wurtzite （WZ） and zinc-blende （ZB） Cdl_xZnxS alloys. All formation energies are positive for WZ and ZB Cdl-xZnxS alloys, which means that the Cdl-xZnxS alloys are unstable and have a tendency to phase separation. For WZ and ZB Cdl_xZnxS alloys, the consolute temperatures are 655 K and 604 K, respectively, and they both have an asymmetric miscibility gap. We obtained the spatial distributions of Cd and Zn atoms in WZ and ZB Cd0.sZn0.sS alloys at different temperatures by MC simulations. We found that both WZ and ZB phases of Cdo.sZn0.sS alloy exhibit phase segregation of Cd and Zn atoms at low temperature, which is consistent with the phase diagrams.
