Jointless Bridge

Deformation of the main girder is absorbed by a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) with microcracks in fully jointless bridges. The conventional fully jointless bridge has been challenged by durability and reliability issues because the CRCP is vulnerable to crack and hard to control the crack width when it suffers temperature variation. In this paper, a new type of fully jointless bridge with the road-bridge link slabs using strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) material is investigated. First, an experiment was carried out to study the material properties of SHCC material for a preliminary assessment of road-bridge link slab performance using this material. Results found that SHCC is adequate for link slabs for its high tensile ductility and fine cracks development. Second, an SHCC slab model tensile test was carried out to study the absorptive capacity and the crack distribution of the SHCC slab. Results verified the high absorptive deformation capacity of the SHCC slabs. When the longitudinal deformation reaches 10 mm, the surface cracks in the SHCC slab are fine and dense, the crack width is kept in 80 μm, and the internal force is small. Third, by comparing the tensile test results with a conventional CRCP slab with same length, it is found that an SHCC slab has higher absorption capacity, better crack distribution, and smaller internal force than a CRCP slab. Finally, through ABAQUS finite element modelling, the stress performance of SHCC road-bridge link slabs is simulated using a trilinear constitutive model. The calculated results are consistent with the experimental results.

The Impact

Different from traditional waterproof methods for road and bridge concrete, the spray-coating waterproof material can effectively prevent rainwater and other corrosive liquids from entering the concrete structure, and it has a few functional advantages such as anti-carbonization, resistance to sulfate attack, and high elongation. Existing studies have discussed the impact of the microstructure of waterproof material on the structure of waterproof coating, the optimization of the mix ratios of waterproof material, and the influencing factors of the waterproof performance of waterproof material, etc., however, few researches have concerned about the mechanical properties of concrete after coated with the spray-coating waterproof material. Therefore, to fill in this research gap, this paper researched the durability of road and bridge concrete and the spray-coating waterproof material. At first, it analyzed the bridge deck water pressure and the internal force of the drain pipe structure under multiple drainage methods, and calculated the water pressure at the gutter inlet, the stress, and the permeability coefficient of the waterproof coating. Then, this paper elaborated on the experimental methods for measuring the durability of the road and bridge before and after coated with the spray-coating waterproof material, and introduced the methods for testing the waterproof material and the concrete. At last, this paper gave the corresponding experimental results, the analysis, and the conclusion.

UHTCC (Ultra High Toughness Cementitious Composite) is a new type of material which is widely used in this study. It is a kind of cement-based material with very good toughness. It is effective to improve the performance of damaged reinforced concrete and improve its durability. UHTCC is widely used in the reinforcement of concrete structures. There is no clear and effective method for calculating it. There is an approximate formula for the crack width of ordinary concrete. The concept of an average crack spacing is used in the derivation of the formula. The limit of UHTCC for cracks can be measured by the concept of average crack spacing. According to the obtained crack width limit, the reinforcement effect of UHTCC can be shown.

It was well known that expansion joint of a bridge was a weak part of structure, it led to early structure destroy and reduced the bridge life. Basing on Life-Cycle Design of bridge structure , a new type of optimum bridge structure --- Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge was put forward. Firstly the new bridge structure was defined and its performance was described. Then several problems that included temperature effect, the interaction of structure-soil etc were discussed about the application of the new bridge structure. Finally the conclusion is the Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge is a kind of durable bridge structure that has rational mechanical performance and great practical value.

In the past, when used the foundation coefficient to calculate the internal force of anti-slide pile, power series method is usually adopted. The deformation compatibility conditions and continuity conditions of sliding surface between non-anchoring section and anchoring section are exploited to determine the final result, causing the lengthy solution process and that there is no guarantee for the calculation accuracy. This paper uses the foundation coefficient method in the calculation of internal force of anti-slide pile and employs the “m-k” method with a more complicated up-down foundation structure to get the finite difference equation to determine the new-type deeply buried anti-slide pile displacement and internal force. Then the calculation on the internal force and displacement of the whole pile can be realized easily through the procedure method. Finally, this paper makes a contrastive analysis on the result of the finite difference method and finite element calculation through the case study. As long as the equal differential step length is small enough, the calculation accuracy can meet the demand of engineer design and the program graph processing result can optimize the design of anti-slide pile.

<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00270006/08.jpg"" width=""300"" /> Driving simulator</div>Intelligent passenger vehicles with autonomous capabilities will be commonplace on our roads in the near future. These vehicles will reshape the existing relationship between the driver and vehicle. Therefore, to create a new type of rewarding relationship, it is important to analyze when drivers prefer autonomous vehicles to manually-driven (conventional) vehicles. This paper documents a driving simulator-based study conducted to identify the preferences and individual driving experiences of novice and experienced drivers of autonomous and conventional vehicles under different traffic and road conditions. We first developed a simplified driving simulator that could connect to different driver-vehicle interfaces (DVI). We then created virtual environments consisting of scenarios and events that drivers encounter in real-world driving, and we implemented fully autonomous driving. We then conducted experiments to clarify how the autonomous driving experience differed for the two groups. The results showed that experienced drivers opt for conventional driving overall, mainly due to the flexibility and driving pleasure it offers, while novices tend to prefer autonomous driving due to its inherent ease and safety. A further analysis indicated that drivers preferred to use both autonomous and conventional driving methods interchangeably, depending on the road and traffic conditions.

ABSTRACTFormation of planar layered Al2O3/Al composites via aluminum foil anodic-spark oxidation was studied by using SEM and XRD. A lateral growth of the primary non-porous alumina islands was shown to proceed to an extent where the entire surface was covered, and this layer is responsible for determining the high thermal stability of composite. A washcoating by an alumina suspension substantially increases pore volume and water absorption capacity. Catalysts based on the platinum group metals and transition metal oxides exhibit high activity for the reactions of CO and hydrocarbon oxidations and the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by hydrocarbons.
