Abstract The use of steel-concrete composite members has been significantly increased as they have the advantages of the reduction of cross sectional areas, excellent ductility against earthquake loadings and a longer life span than typical steel frame members.
The use of steel-concrete composite members has been significantly increased with such a trend as they have the advantages of the reduction of cross sectional areas, excellent ductility against earthquake loadings and a longer life span than typical steel frame members.
This system has the advantages of reduced floor height and simplified formwork, which can in turn produce many beneficial effects such as the reduction of structure weight, fast construction and great savings in the amount of construction materials and labor.
The load-versus-slip data were recorded throughout the entire loading history using a computer-aided data acquisition system.

According to the data analysis from the geological department, long-term reserves are more than 1.5 billion tons in our country, only in Guangxi province they are more than 200 million tons [2].
The main mineral composition of sinter are calcium ferrite, aluminum acid calcium and calcium aluminum melilite, which have excellent cold strength, good metallurgical property, low reduction powder property in low temperature.
Metalization pre-reduction - electric furnaces melting points - alumina extraction process The process is that bauxites are broken, fitting into a certain amount of limestone and coal,then mixing them.
At the same time, reduction equipment is rotary kiln iron, the reduction temperature is above 1400℃, so particle iron method has the same problem as pig iron clinker method that rotary kiln easily knots circle and lining life is short [6].
The main advantages of this process have two: a, it makes full use of the characteristics of high iron gibbsite-type bauxites that gibbsites are easy to leach, and goethite ( hematite ) have the good reduction properties; b, the process is relatively simple, only catalytic reduction process is in high temperature condition; in addition to, this process need not to add other materials except alkali and reducing coal, so energy consumption and materials consumption are greatly lowered.

The oxidation peak shifts more rapidly than the reduction peak.
The oxidation and reduction peak potentials (Ipa and Ipc) decrease with the increasing pH, too.
Both the oxidation and reduction peak currents increase with the increasing scan rates.
When BSA was added to the PMT solution, the oxidation and the reduction peaks shift towards high and low potentials, respectively, and the decrease of oxidation and reduction currents is observed.
The results of the binding number m and the binding constant β of BSA binding to PMT obtained from the experimental data are 2.10 and 7.43×105 L/mol, respectively, which means that PMT binding to BSA forms a 2:1 complex of BSA-2PMT.

More resilient connection of shear sheets to the top flange and a high resistance of UHPC allow for reduction of the extent of shear connectors.
During the experiment it has been proven that the performance of the beams with both variants of shear connection is very similar even with the significant reduction of the extent of shear connectors.
Numerical Analysis The main goals of the numerical analysis are proving the possibility of reducing the amount of shear connectors, evaluating of influence of the reduction of extent of shear connectors on stiffness of the girder in bending, evaluating of load bearing capacity of the new proposed shear connection, description of its behavior and description of the stress state around the local puzzle sheets.
It was proven that the new proposed connection of precast elements providing also the shear connection of the precast deck and the steel structure is able to resist combined loading and it is not a cause of any reduction of stiffness in bending and thus the proposed connection has no influence on distribution of internal forces and it can serve as full shear connection [4].
In the future there should be gathered more data and information from experimental measurements for determining of load bearing capacity of this type of shear connection.

However, the use of these mechanisms needs to ensure the credibility of achieving a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
This methodology for estimating greenhouse gas emission reductions during the rehabilitation of the building was developed and based on data on the physical processes of heat exchange and transformation of heat flows in the enclosure structures of houses and in heat consumption systems, taking into account regulatory requirements for structures and engineering systems, as well as the methods of their calculations.

It can be seen that the rutting factor undergoes significant attenuation as the speed reduction, which has declined by 24% to 66% and 78% to 91% under 32km/h, 8km/h compared with that of 80km/h, respectively.
The preceding analysis reveals that the long sustained slope sections usually suffer frequent rutting failure, manifested principally in speed reduction and horizontal loading increase.
Moreover, the altitude has certain impact on the climbing performance of trucks due to higher altitude will result in the reduction in the engine power, affecting the speed of vehicles. ④The increase in traffic volume will affect the traffic capacity in the long sustained slope sections, and thus will affect the running speed. 3) Developing truck speed prediction model Mathematical statistics was performed for the observed speed data, and calculate the speed value under different percentages, which shall be compared to the corresponding theoretical results and correct the theoretical calculations.
Afterwards, it should derive the basic parameters of speed prediction model based on the analysis of a large number of data, so as to establish a preliminary speed prediction model.
Based on the analysis of a large number of data, it has ultimately proposed the delimitation criterion for the long sustained slopes.

Similarly, k (and k') are the orbital reduction factors arising from the anisotropic interactions of the orbital angular momentum operator.
Substituting the related values into Eq. (1) and fitting the theoretical results to the experimental data, one can obtain: τ » 0.51 (9) The corresponding results (Cal. c) are given in Table 1.
