Haifan Xiang, Yaojun Ge
This paper introduces the state-of-the-art of longspan bridge engineering in
China with emphases on recent long-span bridge projects, bridge deck
configuration and material, design codes of long-span bridges and improvement of
aerodynamic performance. The recent long-span bridge projects include
thirty-eight completed suspension bridges, cable-stayed and arch bridges with a
main span over 400 m, a... hiện toàn bộ
Optimization of polyurethane-bonded thin overlay mixture designation for airport pavementFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 16 - Trang 947-961 - 2022
Xianrui Li, Ling Xu, Qidi Zong, Fu Jiang, Xinyao Yu, Jun Wang, Feipeng Xiao
This research explored the application potential of PUM thin-overlay technology
on airport rapid maintenance. The rapid curing process of polyurethane binder
determines the limited time window for mixing and construction of
polyurethane-bonded mixture (PUM), which presents significant difference with
hot-mix asphalt (HMA) technology. Therefore, this research investigated and
optimized the mix desi... hiện toàn bộ
Numerical investigation of the influence of casting techniques on fiber orientation distribution in ECCFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 16 - Trang 1424-1435 - 2022
Chung Nguyen Van, Hai Tran Thanh, Thuc Nhu Nguyen, Jianchun Li
Engineered cementitious composites (ECC), also known as bendable concrete, were
developed based on engineering the interactions between fibers and cementitious
matrix. The orientation of fibers, in this regard, is one of the major factors
influencing the ductile behavior of this material. In this study, fiber
orientation distributions in ECC beams influenced by different casting
techniques are eva... hiện toàn bộ
Micromechanics model for static and dynamic strength of concrete under confinementFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 2 - Trang 329-335 - 2008
Dan Zheng, Qingbin Li
The process of propagation, kinking of microcracks in concrete and the
interaction among cracks as well as the induced failure were analyzed using the
model that describes the wing type crack from the point of view of
micromechanics. The pseudo-force method is applied to calculate the compressive
strength factor of kinky propagated crack taking into account the effect of
interaction among cracks. ... hiện toàn bộ
Soundscape of classical Chinese gardenFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 2 - Trang 172-178 - 2008
Xiaomei Yuan, Shuoxian Wu
With deep humanized connotation, the classical Chinese garden uses human
intuitive sensation and personal poetic observation to express natural sound
phenomena. It differs from the rational modern soundscape in western countries.
Novel sensing techniques for full-scale testing of civil structuresFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 6 - Trang 240-256 - 2012
Kaoshan Dai, Zhenhua Huang
Performing full-scale structural testing is an important methodology for
researchers and engineers in the civil engineering industry. Full scale testing
helps the researchers understand civil infrastructures’ loading scenarios,
behaviors, and health conditions. It helps the engineers verify, polish, and
simplify the structural design and analysis theories. To conduct a full-scale
structural testin... hiện toàn bộ
Uncoupled state space solution to layered poroelastic medium with anisotropic permeability and compressible pore fluidFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - - 2011
Zhiyong Ai, Wenze Zeng, Yichong Cheng, Chao Wu
This paper presents an uncoupled state space solution to three-dimensional
consolidation of layered poroelastic medium with anisotropic permeability and
compressible pore fluid. Starting from the basic equations of poroelastic
medium, and introducing intermediate variables, the state space equation usually
comprising eight coupled state vectors is uncoupled into two sets of equations
of six and tw... hiện toàn bộ
A novel structural modification to eliminate the early coupling between bending and torsional mode shapes in a cable stayed bridgeFrontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China - Tập 11 - Trang 131-142 - 2017
Nazim Abdul Nariman
In this paper, a novel structural modification approach has been adopted to
eliminate the early coupling between the bending and torsional mode shapes of
vibrations for a cable stayed bridge model generated using ABAQUS software. Two
lateral steel beams are added to the middle span of the structure. Frequency
analysis is dedicated to obtain the natural frequencies of the first eight mode
shapes of... hiện toàn bộ
