考虑水平（切向）位移影响的垫层孔隙内土工膜顶胀

The common cushion layer used in the geomembrane face rockfill dam is made of granular materials such as gravel and non-fine concrete where bulge deformation or failure of geomembrane is very likely to occur in its surface holes. The curve intersection method based on the thin film theory is the common method used to analyze the bulge deformation of the geomembrane in the surface holes of cushion layer. However, it is inaccurate due to the neglection of horizontal (tangential) displacement of the geomembrane. Based on the FEM theory, a new method is proposed, which takes the horizontal (tangential) displacement of geomembrane into consideration, and is validated by the bulge tests on the geomembrane in a circular hole. The deformations and strains of the geomembrane in different shapes of holes are analyzed by this method, and different strain distributions and failure modes are obtained. The curve intersection method is also used to compare with the new method under the same condition. It is indicated that there is less difference in the deformation and average strain of the geomembrane when the water pressure is low. However, when the water pressure is relatively high, the influences of horizontal (tangential) displacement of the geomembrane on its strain should not be neglected.

A simplified physically-based breach model for a high concrete-faced rockfill dam: A case study

A simplified physically-based model was developed to simulate the breaching process of the Gouhou concrete-faced rockfill dam (CFRD), which is the only breach case of a high CFRD in the world. Considering the dam height, a hydraulic method was chosen to simulate the initial scour position on the downstream slope, with the steepening of the downstream slope taken into account; a headcut erosion formula was adopted to simulate the backward erosion as well. The moment equilibrium method was utilized to calculate the ultimate length of a concrete slab under its self-weight and water loads. The calculated results of the Gouhou CFRD breach case show that the proposed model provides reasonable peak breach flow, final breach width, and failure time, with relative errors less than 15% as compared with the measured data. Sensitivity studies show that the outputs of the proposed model are more or less sensitive to different parameters. Three typical parametric models were compared with the proposed model, and the comparison demonstrates that the proposed physically-based breach model performs better and provides more detailed results than the parametric models.     

Discussion of the Definition for Acoustic Emission Event in the Time Series of Concrete Damage Process

Acoustic emission signals from concrete compression damage process are non-stationary and their arrival time is unknown. Therefore, the definition on the acoustic emission event in the time series is not clear. In this paper, the acoustic emission signals associated with concrete specimen under uniaxial compression are acquired by full-digital acoustic emission system. The overlapping phenomenon of acoustic emission signal is presented and discussed by the analysis of time interval between adjacent hits. Acoustic emission signals are classified into three categories according to their waveform characteristics. And the result shows that as the loading process continues, more and more amount of continuous type of acoustic emission signals appeared, indicating the acoustic emission signal does not carry the features of burst type, which will introduce obvious errors in the calculation of acoustic emission event. In contrast, the average signal level used in the analysis of continuous type of acoustic emission signal shows a good regularity with the damage process of concrete.

     

Influence of ultrasonic treatment on the structure and emulsifying properties of peanut protein isolate

Effects of ultrasonic treatment on emulsifying properties and structure of peanut protein isolate (PPI) were evaluated by analysis of particle size distribution, protein surface hydrophobicity, SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism spectra and environmental scanning electron microscopy. The emulsifying properties of the PPI were found to be improved by ultrasonic treatment. The mean particle size decreased from 474.7 nm to 255.8 nm while the molecular weight remained unaffected. The results of intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity indicated that ultrasonic treatment induced tertiary structural changes of the proteins in PPI. Emulsifying activity index and emulsion stability index were found to be correlated fairly well with surface hydrophobicity (H₀) (r = 0.712 and r = 0.668, respectively).

桩-红黏土接触面温控测试及应力-应变关系研究

在对能量桩承载特性进行设计与计算时,能量桩桩-土接触面力学特性十分重要;已有桩-土接触面力学特性研究中考虑温度效应的仍相对较少。采用重庆地区重塑红黏土,通过室内温控直剪试验测试其桩-土接触面力学特性,并与土体本身直剪强度特性进行对比;基于能量耗散原理推导的桩-土接触面模型,分析红黏土温度效应试验结果,归纳形成两个温度因子?1、?2,建立考虑温度效应的桩-红黏土接触面模型。通过新模型模拟结果与实测值的对比,验证文中所建立的桩-红黏土接触面温度效应模型的准确性和可靠性。研究结果表明,文中试验条件下,温度升高,桩-红黏土接触面的剪切强度略有增大;桩-红黏土接触面温度效应模型可以较好地模拟不同法向应力下的接触面应力-应变曲线,并且可以在一定程度上反映温度对接触面力学特性的影响。     

型钢-钢纤维混凝土组合梁抗弯性能试验研究

为解决型钢混凝土结构中型钢与钢筋相互干扰、混凝土浇筑困难等施工难题,将型钢混凝土梁中的钢筋笼完全或部分替换成钢纤维,形成型钢–钢纤维混凝土组合梁。完成12个型钢钢纤维混凝土组合梁和1个未添加钢纤维、未设置钢筋笼对比试件的抗弯性能试验。主要研究钢纤维掺量、型钢配钢率、箍筋设置和主筋设置对抗弯性能的影响。增加钢纤维用量能够在一定程度上提高承载力,其影响程度与型钢配钢率有重要的相关性,型钢配钢率越大,钢纤维的影响越突出。纵筋的设置能够大幅提升承载力,箍筋和钢纤维能够使纵筋对承载力的增强效果更为突出。试验结果表明：在相似用钢量的情况下,无配筋的型钢钢纤维混凝土组合梁不但能够解决型钢混凝土结构的施工困难,而且能够大幅提升延性性能,但由于未配置纵筋,正截面抗弯能力有所削弱;减小保护层厚度,提高型钢配钢率,能够充分发挥型钢翼缘良好的抗弯能力,弥补未设置主筋对承载力的影响,同时增加钢纤维用量,解决因保护层减小而导致的钢与混凝土界面黏结性能变差的问题;在设置钢纤维的情况下,钢纤维掺量较多试件的损伤发展快于掺量较少的试件,并且随着钢纤维掺量的增加,峰值荷载的损伤度越来越大;钢纤维用量越多,试件在峰值荷载状态下的耐损伤性能越好,即使在较严重的损伤状态下也依然能够保持极限承载能力。
