Steel bridge structure without intermediate bracing system (IBS) has been widely used in several countries and one of them is Japan. In this type of structure, the main steel girder is not reinforced by the stiffeners. The stiffness of the main girder is enhanced with steel plate directly welded to the top flange of the main girder, forming the “beams–system”. The reinforced concrete deck slab with the set of main girder and steel plate works compositely through steel shear connectors whose shape is C (channel) or I character. As for steel bridge structures, the main role of shear connectors is shear resistance between the concrete deck slab and steel girder plate in the exploitation stage. However, previous research has shown that the density of shear connectors influences on the stability as well as the stiffness of the bridge structure. Therefore, it has approved that this appurtenance is able to not only have the ability of shear resistance but also enhance the stiffness of the steel bridge structure which is particularly surveyed with the type of especial bridge structure – the steel bridge structure without IBS. Hence, the shear connectors in this kind of bridge structure are deliberately researched as an extra role in the construction stage. The following factors of the channel shape shear connectors would be researched for evaluating their impacting level on the stability of the special steel bridge structure: the properties (the length and the moment of inertia of the cross-section) and the density on the steel plate. Through the analysis of impacting level to the stability of three mentioned factors (the length and density of the shear connectors; the moment of inertia of the cross-section), the expected result is as following: 1) The minimum density of shear connectors is proposed. 2) The influence of the moment of inertia of the cross-section, the density, and the length on the stability is quite clear. 3) As for the economy, the optimal designed range among three factors is also suggested.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.
