This study proposes new nonlinear PA procedures that consider shear failure at BCJs and seek to assess the actual damage to RC structures. Based on the specifications of FEMA-356, a simplified joint model composed of two nonlinear cross struts placed diagonally over the location of the plastic hinge is established, allowing a sophisticated PA to be performed. To verify the validity of this method, the analytical results for the capacity curves and the failure mechanism derived from three different full-size RC frames are compared with the experimental measurements. By considering shear failure at BCJs, the proposed nonlinear analytical procedures can be used to estimate the structural behavior of RC frames, including seismic capacity and the progressive failure sequence of joints, in a precise and effective manner.展开更多

文摘High-voltage electrical post equipment is generally installed on steel supports,which amplifies the seismic inputs and degrades the seismic performance of equipment.This study proposed a variable cross-section damped steel support frame(VCDFS)with viscous dampers to reduce seismic responses of both tall and low-rise electrical equipment.The VCDFS contains a trapezoidal damper layer to generate rocking motions,enabling the diagonal viscous dampers to dissipate seismic inputs.A theoretical model of post equipment with VCDFS is established,and an optimal design procedure is proposed.The analysis shows that the remaining static stiffness ratio λ_(k) is the key parameter that determines the effectiveness of the VCDFS.The VCDFS reduces the average displacement and stress response of a post insulator by 39.4%and 44.6%,respectively,together with a significant decrease in the dynamic amplification factor.Therefore,it is recommended to use the VCDFS instead of the conventional latticed-steel frame in earthquake zones.

文摘Frame blades were used to replace traditional propeller blades to enhance the leaching step efficiency of Becher process.A combined approach of leaching,electrochemical experiments,and numerical simulations was employed.Results demonstrate a significant improvement in leaching efficiency using frame blades compared to propellers,reducing reaction time from 15 to 10 h.Even at a stirring speed of 300 r/min,frame blades perform better than propellers at 500 r/min.Kinetics analysis indicates that the leaching process is controlled by surface chemical reactions.CFD-PBM simulations reveal that frame blades at 300 r/min generate larger bubbles and higher turbulent kinetic energy than propeller blades at 500 r/min.Frame blades enhance leaching efficiency by refining bubble size to improve oxygen mass transfer and by increasing turbulent kinetic energy for better mixing.

文摘Euler Pole Parameters(EPPs)were estimated for the new plate-fixed North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022(NATRF2022)based on the spherical model of Earth using different sets of continuously operating GPS(cGPS)station velocities.Two objectives were considered in this research:(1)the possibility of using the cGPS stations located in the areas affected by the Glacial Isostatic Adjustment(GIA),and(2)minimizing the reference frame velocities across the entire continent for conventional uses such as surveying and mapping.A key consideration in this analysis is accounting for the impact of the ongoing GIA on the horizontal velocities.The predicted horizontal velocities from the ICE-6G model were used to remove the GIA effect from the velocity field to mitigate such biases.As a proof of concept,different data sets from a large set of cGPS station velocities were selected,and EPPs were estimated for all these sets of stations with and without removing the GIA effect and estimating or not estimating the Plate Translation Rate(PTR).Considering the WRMS as the criterion for showing goodness of fit,the results show that accounting for the GIA effect reduces the NATRF2022 velocities.Using the same velocity dataset,the PTR was estimated along with the conventional Euler's rotation parameters,and it was shown that estimating the PTR term can further reduce the NATRF2022 velocities.

文摘To ensure the operational safety of railways in the landslide-prone areas of mountainous regions,a large-scale model test and numerical simulation were conducted to study the bending moment distribution,internal force distribution,deformation development,and crack propagation characteristics of a framed anti-sliding structure(FAS)under landslide thrust up to the point of failure.Results show that the maximum bending moment and its increase rate in the fore pile are greater than those in the rear pile,with the maximum bending moment of the fore pile approximately 1.1 times that of the rear pile.When the FAS fails,the displacement at the top of the fore pile is significantly greater,about 1.27 times that of the rear pile in the experiment.Major cracks develop at locations corresponding to the peak bending moments.Small transverse cracks initially appear on the upper surface at the intersection between the primary beam and rear pile and then spread to the side of the structure.At the failure stage,major cracks are observed at the pil-beam intersections and near the anchor points.Strengthening flexural stiffness at intersections where major cracks occur can improve the overall thrust-deformation coordination of the FAS,thereby maximizing its performance.
