Abstract: This paper takes a sluice reconstruction project as an example. The constraint internal force, the related axis force, bending moment, and shearing force at the corresponding section are solved according to the unit stress and internal force balance. Furthermore, technology of mesh auto-generation in cross-section is utilized to plot the internal force graph of the structure directly, which will provide reference for reinforcement design and make it more convenient.

Abstract: In order to select the optimal reinforcing material to reinforce structural lumber for timberwork, the properties and mechanics of experimental samples made by galvanized steel wire mesh and GFRP reinforced wood from Chinese plantation were analyzed. The experiment results showed that two kinds of reinforcing materials could reinforce lumber, and galvanized steel wire mesh had better mechanics than fiberglass mesh. Furthermore, the glued structural lumber had enough bonding strength which was fit to make structural composite lumber for timber bridge.

Abstract: Anti-impact property is an important performance parameter of polycrystalline diamond compact. This paper focuses on the research for test method of PDC thermal stability performance. With the improvement method, the thermal stability performance of PDC with five typicals macroscopic interface structure such as planar structure, v-groove, u-groove, ring groove, ring claw-tooth are tested at normal temperature and after heating, With SEM, we study on its mechanism of thermal stability performance due to different macroscopic interfaces structure, analyze the reason why PDC thermal stability performance is different with the changing of PDC macroscopic interface structure. The research result show that the temperature influenced obviously the wear property and the anti-impact property of PDC, and it has great influence on the anti-impact property. The anti-impact property of the vessel-shaped interface structure is better than the flat interface structure.

Abstract: The program of selecting the reasonable scheme of the adding frame work for the earthquake district is introduced. Different ways are compared in accordance with the practical project examples. The employment of an adequate scheme can ameliorate the building design of jacket frame in seismic regions.

Abstract: The coupled 3D Dynamic Mechanical/Fluid is performed for the Nuozhadu earth and rock-filled dam by FLAC3D, but literature on the fully coupled of fluid-solid under earthquake is not too much. This paper gives a good example of applying FLAC3D to do the fully coupled simulation, and after a system in mechanical and fluid is got, the dynamic simulation can be done. A more accurate estimation of pore water pressure and the distribution of acceleration and irrecoverable displacement of the dam under dynamic are obtained. The result shows that permanent displacement would occur in the potential slide mass of the slope under earthquake. Finally the method to improve the slope stability is suggested. The results provide important references to the design.

Abstract: The building energy consumption is one of the biggest components of energy consumption in China. Based on the building life cycle energy consumption theory, this paper proposed a modified model, which extra considered the influence of building planning, design and building materials’ recycle to energy consumption. This paper analyzed every building stage’s energy consumption and provided saving measures. According to the present situation of China, this paper explored new ideas on building energy saving.

Abstract: At present, the plate shell structure is broadly used in the engineering field, and the finite element method is the main method to analysis of the structural design. Because many variables are used in the finite element method and the computation is complex, this paper used Bezier surface patches as the admissible displacement fields to represent the shell’s middle surface displacement and rotation components, the deformation of the composite material cylindrical shell and shallow sphere shell under the loads are studied with a Semi-analytical procedure. The results show that semi-analytical and analytical procedure are in good agreement with the results of the analysis, it can be applied in the project.

Abstract: Though the wide applications of jacked pile in engineering in Shenyang district, the problem is also exist in engineering for the capacity of the jacked pile is hard to account. The relationship between the standard penetration test and the ultimate vertical bearing capacity of jacked pile is established in this paper; also an empirical formula is put forward for calculating the ultimate vertical bearing capacity of the jacked pile in this district with blow count of standard penetration test (SPT). The engineering examples indicated that the empirical formula is feasible because the calculating bearing capacity of the silent pipe pile is coincided with the static load tests. The calculated results satisfy the engineering requirement andt can be concluded that the method is also convenient to choose the diameter and length of the pile during the initial stage of design.

Abstract: This study conducts a series of experiments on cracked concrete strengthened with carbon fiber reinforce polymer (CFRP) sheet under three-point bending. The purpose is to investigate the effect of concrete crack on plate end debonding load-carrying capacity. 27 specimens were designed considering the pre-crack location, CFRP bond length and CFRP bond width. The results show that an abrupt change of the interface shear stress arises at the location of crack, and the debonding load-carrying capacity increases with the increase of CFRP bond length or CFRP bond width. However, when the concrete crack location is closer to CFRP end, the debonding load-carrying capacity is lower.

Abstract: Recursive and inexplicit differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients is derived from the fourth order linear homogeneous differential equation with variable coefficients of transverse vibration of non-uniform beam, which is about deflection and bending moment according to boundary conditions and order reduction. By finite difference method, numerical computation and accuracy are studied for natural frequency of transverse vibration for simply supported beam of non-uniform. Theoretical analysis and orthogonal computation examples show that numerical computation algorithm is very simple, and accuracy of computation depends on variety rate of gradually changed cross section in vertical direction and numbers of computation step, which is independent of width and length of beam; numerical accuracy of computation is estimable for given length or numbers of computation step; and reasonable length or numbers of computation step is determinable for given accuracy demand.
