Dynamic risk evaluation of deep excavation based on monitor indexes of support structure Jiao Zhang, Guangli Yang School of Civil Engineering and Transportation, Shanghai Technical College of Urban Management, Shanghai 200432, China ggglg@163.com Keywords: Deep Excavation, Risk Evaluation, Support Structure, Alarming Value Abstract.
The engineering alarming values of the monitor indexes are generally ascertained according to the experiences or estimated values.
Once the detected data over the engineering values, the project will be alarmed, and some corresponding controlling measurements will be taken in time.
The risk alarming values of monitor indexes of support structure need to consider more factors than the engineering alarming values.
The risk alarming values and the engineering alarming values can be correlated by a risk modification coefficient R.

the above analysis and tests, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) The concrete/rebar bonding failure has significantly negative impact on the closure force imposed by rebar, which will result in crack propagation of the vertical crack and the concrete/ rebar interface crack together, and eventually the functional degradation of RC beams. 2) It is found that the anti-cracking performance of RC beams can be improved by closing the interfacial crack within 15cm around the vertical crack under the guide of principles of fracture mechanics, which can effectively reduce the stress intensity factor of the crack tip. 3) Compared with the normal RC beam, the RC beam with concrete/rebar bonding failure has lower cracking load and ultimate capacity, and worse ductility, which is suffered from the loss of the crack-arresting capability induced by the concrete/rebar bonding stress Acknowledge The research is funded by Open Fund of The MOT Key Lab. of Bridge Structure Engineering

Research on Rural Highway Maintenance Quality Evaluation System Based on Triangle Whitenization Weight Function Aijun Wang 1,a, Jianzheng Qiao 1,b 1College of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha, China a qjzwaj@163.com,bqjz007@163.com Key words: Rural highway; maintenance quality; trigonometrical whitenization weight function; evaluation system Abstract.
Introduction Rural highway as the basis of road network, which is an indispensable part of south regional highway network, that is the main source of highway traffic,According to the statistics, in the period of "eleventh five-year plan" , the construction of rural highway in Hunan province has been finished with a total investment of 40.46 billion Yuan, which is 124.9% of the eleventh five-year plan, or is the "15" of 3.7 times .Built the township county highway 12410 kilometers, the organizational system of village unobstructed engineering is 109577 kilometers, the organizational system of village 23563 kilometers understanding of the engineering, 474 new towns the cement (asphalt) road, township patency rate reached 99.9%; 27846 new organizational system village cement (asphalt) road, organizational system village patency rate reached 81.5%; 11404 new organizational system village road, achieved all the condition of organizational system village highway [1].
The highway engineering technical standards (JTG B01-2003) specified in the level 3 highway design speed is 30 ~ 40 km/h, 4 class highway is 20 km/h, the vehicles in the rural roads from the turbulence are relatively low for its speed is low, , so the quality index in rural highway driving as evaluation index of evaluation of maintenance third
Table 1 Highway maintenance quality evaluation index system Assessment Objectives Assessment index Pavement Pavement (SSI), road surface strength damaged condition (PCI), road driving quality (PQI), pavement performance against sliding (horizontal force coefficient SFC) Engineering examples Under investigation of rural highway in the three cities: Changsha, Yueyang and Hengyang, the author gives a rural highway K20 + 000 ~ K25 + 000 of 5 km of road surface measurement, the measurement data as shown in chart 2.
The system with an engineering example Validated at last.
