Performance of insulated FRP-strengthened concrete flexural members under fire conditions

This paper presents the results of fire resistance tests on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened concrete flexural members, i.e., T-beams and slabs. The strengthened members were protected with fire insulation and tested under the combined effects of thermal and structural loading. The variables considered in the tests include the applied load level, extent of strengthening, and thickness of the fire insulation applied to the beams and slabs. Furthermore, a previously developed numerical model was validated against the data generated from the fire tests; subsequently, it was utilized to undertake a case study. Results from fire tests and numerical studies indicate that owing to the protection provided by the fire insulation, the insulated CFRP-strengthened beams and slabs can withstand four and three hours of standard fire exposure, respectively, under service load conditions. The insulation layer impedes the temperature rise in the member; therefore, the CFRP–concrete composite action remains active for a longer duration and the steel reinforcement temperature remains below 400°C, which in turn enhances the capacity of the beams and slabs.

澳大利亚蒂汶海奥利弗气田古油藏潜力定量评价

砂岩岩心和钻屑中的含油流体包裹体代表了隐蔽的石油显示。含有此类包裹体的石英颗粒的数目(GOI数)反映了砂岩储层中曾经历过最大的古含油饱和度，而与现今流体相无关。含油饱和度高的样品比含油饱和度低的样品的GOI数至少高一个数量级。因此，在原始油被后期填充气取代的井中，可根据这些流体包裹体的资料确定古油柱并划分原始油一水界面。此外，若能利用详细的GOI图精确确定原始油一水界面的位置，那么就可以确定古油柱的高度并估算原始石油地质储量。奥利弗(Oliver)油气田位于澳大利亚蒂汶海(Timor)，现在含有一个178．5m的油气柱，其中气柱高164m，位于14．5m油柱之上。该油气田已填充至溢出点。奥利弗-1井的GOI图显示，在现在的气柱内古油柱的总高度曾在99-132m之间，原始石油地质储量高达2亿bbl，明显高于现在4500万bbl的储量。高达1．55亿bbl的油从奥利弗构造转移到其上倾方向的倾斜断块，从而大大改善了该断块构造的勘探远景。GOI制图法是一种储层描述新方法。它能可靠探测现在被气充填的圈闭中的古油储。在新井钻探之前，利用这些资料可以定量描述气藏及其附近未测试构造的油藏潜力。

气垫式调压室及其在压缩空气能量蓄存方面的应用

挪威独有的高压气垫式调压室是坚硬岩石洞室中压缩空气能量蓄存的极好的先例，在供电不能满足峰荷需求的电站，这一技术正引起极大的关注。从气垫空气损失获得的经验表明，在大多数情况下不衬砌洞室都适用于压缩空气的密闭，只有少数情况时需采取修补措施以减少空气损失。业已证明，水幕是控制空气损失的最有效的方法。     

用于单芯片系统的改进型WXGA LCoS成像器

本文讨论用于单芯片时序混色的菲利浦DD-720硅基液晶(LCoS)片。这种芯片主要用于HDTV背投影机和多媒体系统。与菲利浦以前的单片LCoS设计相比，由于该芯片具有电接口接点较少、封装简单和温度传感器内置等许多特点，使其应用于投影系统时成本降低。     

停运44年后混流式水轮机复活了

最初于二十世纪二十年代投入运行的澳大利亚艾尔登(Eildon)水电站两台7．5MW混流式水轮机已经重新投入运行了。对机组恢复使用并在原来两倍的水头下运行的可行性进行了调查，发现这两台机组能够重新投运，并且可在更高压力下运行。本文介绍了这个非常规项目的机械试验、有限元分析和其它试验，这个项目后来在澳大利亚和新西兰获得了三项优秀工程奖。
