Abstract: In the environmental analysis of buildings, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is gaining more and more interest. It is due to the fact, that LCA is very comprehensive in considering many impacts in all life-cycle phases of the examined building. Since buildings have a complicated geometry that is built up with numerous constructions that consist of many materials, and the life-cycle includes many phases, the results of an assessment are likely to be difficult to analyze in detail. In this paper we introduce a visual method to help architects and analysts to quickly understand the results of an environmental assessment. It includes the hierarchic visualization of the performance of the individual elements of the building. Both energy use and environmental impacts can be presented. Also the contribution of the different life-cycle phases in the overall impact is visualized.There are increasing efforts nowadays to find the most efficient way to improve the environmental performance of buildings. This can be supported with a detailed analysis of the results. The method is presented through a case study of a realized energy efficient one-family house.

Abstract: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an advantageous tool for the analysis of the overall environmental effects of a building. Most of the decisions that influence the final result of an LCA are made during the design process of the building. Therefore, LCA in early design stages is crucial, because the changes in this period of design are cheaper and more effective. However, there are many other aspects that influence the design of a building. During the design process a high number of variables have to be defined, and in each design stage a specific number of variables have to be fixed depending on various engineering considerations. In this paper we investigate the effect of decisions made in each design stage on LCA results. Within this paper the available possibilities are compared with the variant that was actually selected in each stage, and it is evaluated how environmental indicators evolve during the whole design process. The approach is demonstrated on a case study of a realized single family house.

Abstract: Rectangle part is the foundation of irregular part layout, about which domestic and overseas scholars have studied a lot and have put forward many algorithms. Based on a careful study of these algorithms in the paper, it is determined to solve the rectangle packing problem with genetic algorithm analysis. Different from the formerly used the genetic algorithm optimization layout, the algorithm of this paper stresses optimization localization rule in order to solve layout problem with the advantages of global searching ability of genetic algorithm. This algorithm sets the utilization ratio of the maximum area of capacity as the goal, after confirming the priority of deposition sequence of rectangle, in view of the locating rule of rectangle packing, based on feasible region and by introducing the method of attractive factors, optimizing the calculation for each parameter of placement function by utilizing genetic algorithm.Positioning function of the structure of this paper by changing the parameter value can cover the previous golden horn strategy, the lower left corner strategy, down the steps such as positioning method. Use VC programming to realize automatic two dimensional rectangular layout systems, the algorithm and example verification, the precision of parameter on the result of layout, the number of attractor for layout results, and the influence of parameter values for different rectangular piece of regularity. According to different rectangular block configuration, layout scheme can be better and faster.

Abstract: To further investigate the mechanism of the interaction between the response of single pile and pile-soil on the condition of lateral load, on the basis of the normal type of the coefficient of subgrade reaction, this paper reaches the transfer matrix solution of single pile subject to lateral load by combining matrix transfer method with finite element method assuming that the coefficient of subgrade reaction is constant in each finite element. With the matrix solutions obtained, a computer program is developed using MATLAB to compute the pile responses and parametric studies are carried out on the effect of the constraint conditions of pile head and tip, effect of soil properties etc. and the results are discussed in detail.

Abstract: The time and frequency forced responses for the permanent magnetic planetary gear drive were computed and analyzed. The influence of magnetization intensity and pole pair number to frequency forced responses is discussed. Results show that the dynamic displacement when only considering output excitation is larger than that when only considering input excitation,and magnetic parameters have obvious effects on the low frequency vibration amplitude of elements. When magnetization intensity and pole pair number are too large or too small, they will seriously affect the dynamic performance of the system. So, selecting rational system structure parameters is very important, which can avoid system elements generating larger vibration.

Abstract: This paper made a thorough influencing parameter analysis on the unstressed state and completed state of main cable of self-anchored suspension bridge. The main cable curve, the amount and the action point of the resultant force of main cable on the main saddle were considered as the controlling objectives, the rational completed state of main cable was defined; Wusong bridge in Jilin city was taken as an example, the finite element mode of main cable was created. The unstressed state and the completed state of main cable under different parameters were calculated, and all the results were compared with the reference state, the influences of each parameter deviation on the state of main cable were studied: the self-weight and erection temperature of main cable had little effect on the state of main cable; the length of the mid-span main cable mainly influenced itself line-shape, while the length of the side-span main cable had significant effect on each controlling objective; made the unstressed line-shape of main cable as the controlling condition, the position deviation of the main saddle and back anchorage facet, happened before the main cable erection stage, had little effect on the completed state, but which will have great effect on the completed state when they happened after the main cable erection stage. Engineering example analysis results showed that, the tensile stiffness of main cable and the boom-completed force would have some effect on the completed state of main cable, and the tensile stiffness of main cable and the self-weight of the main beam should be tested before erecting the main cable, in the same time the deviation should be control within the rational limits; recommended that the unstressed shape of main cable should pre-lift, which could counteract the deformation of the main saddle and the back anchorage facet at the completed stage, this conclusion had a strong guiding significance and reference value on the work of constructing the main cable of self-anchored suspension bridge.

Abstract: In this paper, The vertical vibration’s analytical expression of Euler-Bernoulli beam traveled by moving loads is used to analyze the effect factors such as vehicle speed and damping ratio. The calculating program is made with MATLAB to analyze the dynamic response of a bridge as an illustrative example. A 32 meters simply supported beam traversed by moving loads of 8 ICE3 motor cars is analyzed. The calculation results show that the maximum displacement of the bridge appears at or near the mid-span and it has nothing to do with the position of the loads. The dynamic amplification coefficient of displacement at mid-span is not linearly increased with the vehicle speed improving. The damping ratio can decrease the dynamic response of the bridge dramatically, especially at the resonance speed.
