The 7801 cut hole in the Lu'an Wuyang Mine was used as this project's background. The main factors affecting large span cut hole stability are analyzed. Pre- stressed bolting theory was used to design a roof control method for a large span roadway. By reducing the span and applying equal strength coordinated supports the rock could be stabilized. The control prin- ciples and methods are given herein along with the analysis. A double micro arch cross section roadway is defined and its use in solving the current problem is described. Beam arch theory was used to build a model of the double micro arch cross section roadway. A support reverse force model for the arch foot intersection was also derived. A support method based upon reducing the width of the large span in the cut hole is presented. These results show that the reduced span of the roadway roof plus the use of cable anchors and single supports gives an effective way to control the large span cut hole. On site monitoring showed that the reduced span support from the double micro arch cross section roadway design had a significant effect. The roadway surface displacement was small and harmful deformation of the cut hole was effectively controlled. This will ensure its long term stability.展开更多

Improved methods to decrease concrete stresses were discussed based on comparisons of different deck schemes, construction sequences and measures, and ratios of reinforcement. The results show that the mechanical behavior of concrete slab gets worse with the increase of composite regions between steel beams and concrete slab. The deck scheme with the minimum composite region is recommended on condition that both strength and stiffness of the bridge meet design demands under service loads. Adopting in-situ-place construction method, concrete is suggested to be cast after removing the full-supported frameworks under the bridge. Thus, the axial tensile force of concrete slab caused by the first stage dead load is eliminated. Preloading the bridge before concrete casting and removing the load after the concrete reaching its design strength, the stresses of concrete slab caused by the second stage dead load and live load are further reduced or even eliminated. At last, with a high ratio of reinforcement more than 3%, the concrete stresses decrease obviously.展开更多

Combined with the mechanics and key technical points in structural mechanics, relevant designers effectively analyze the technical difficulties that need to be solved in the overall construction and installation process of steel structure. Taking a construction project as an example, this paper analyzes the difficulties and key points in the construction of the project, and on this basis, analyzes the implementation requirements and control key points of the main processes in the construction of the project, such as vertical/horizontal truss hoisting, high-altitude welding, metal curtain wall installation, etc., and puts forward corresponding measures, so as to provide reference for the implementation of such projects.展开更多

The analysis of wind loads on large span roof structures (LSRS) requires large amounts of calculations. Due to the com- bined effects of horizontal and vertical winds, the wind-induced vibrations of LSRS are analyzed in this pa- per with the frequency domain method as the first application of method for the analysis of the wind re- sponse of LSRS. A program is developed to analyze the wind-induced vibrations due to a combination of wind vibration modes. The program, which predicts the wind vibration coefficient and the wind pressure act- ing on the LSRS, interfaces with other finite element software to facilitate analysis of wind loads in the de- sign of LSRS. The effectiveness and accuracy of the frequency domain method have been verified by nu- merical analyses of practical projects.展开更多

In this paper, sap2000 is used to analyze the overall lifting technology of a 72*144m long-span steel structure. The grid structure is divided into two areas for lifting, and there are four different areas for different repair welding areas and lifting methods. By analyzing the indexes of stress, deformation and internal force of structure construction under different construction zoning schemes, the best construction scheme can be selected. The calculation results show that the construction deformation of the second scheme is the smallest, with the final deformation of 49.164mm, the maximum stress ratio of the components after construction being 0.204, and the stress ratio of the components under the load of 1.3D+1.5L being 0.8098, which is basically the same as the stress ratio of 0.80 obtained by the one-time loading design, so the second scheme is finally selected.展开更多
