Stress Concentration Factors for a Circular Hole in Curved Beams Under Bending Loads

Abstract: As a contribution to the field of stress concentration studies, the case of circular hole in curved bar elements under bending is hereby studied. Trend values of stress concentration factors (SCF) are presented based on selected variables of the problem for two critical hole locations. The results will help to identify an SCF law for practical use by applying the statistical method of regression analysis. Two approximations obtained by means of computational methods are compared with those obtained by photoelastic experimental method.     

大港油田官109-1断块稠油油藏碱/表面活性剂吞吐采油技术

大港油田官109-1断块稠油油藏的油井由于井筒、近井地带发生原油有机沉积,储层原油流动性差,采用多种方法都不能正常生产。为此研制了一种碱性解堵液,用于油井化学吞吐。该解堵液为复配碱和抗硬剂等添加剂的10%两性木质素表面活性剂溶液,能使玻璃片表面由亲油变强亲水,在石英上的接触角为6°(稀释至1/2和1/4浓度时为11°和12°),与羊大站原油间的界面张力为1.75×10-3~3.18×10-3mN/m。该解堵液与黏度1~50 Pa.s的不同区块稠油按体积比1∶1混合形成的乳状液,60℃、175 s-1黏度为2~6 mPa.s,在配液水矿化度高达6000mg/L以上或钙镁离子浓度高达250 mg/L时,该解堵液仍能保持对稠油的乳化降黏能力。该解堵液从实验岩心中驱出的原油量比地层水多75%,驱出液为乳状液。通过一个井例介绍了化学吞吐工艺:先用一种降黏解堵液对油井进行预处理,清洗油管、炮眼及近井地带,再注入碱性解堵液(该井例中为500 m3),注入时间约15小时,然后开井生产。2000年2月至2002年6月在16口新投产井实施化学吞吐(第一轮次),15口井有效,其中2口井先后转注水,其余13口井到2005年底仍继续产油。图1表6参5。

液闪测氡中闪烁杯的氡气泄漏

本文简要介绍了液闪测氡中氡气自闪烁杯泄漏的实验结果。实验中对三种玻璃闪烁杯盖的密封性能作了检查,结果表明,这三种闪烁杯均不能满足液闪法测氡中对氡的密封要求。采用一层1mm 厚的橡胶垫片和一层0.01mm 厚的铝化聚脂膜作衬垫,代替原来的聚乙烯或纸板衬垫,解决了其中两种闪烁杯的氡气泄漏问题。建议在使用商品闪烁杯测氡时,应首先检查其对氡的密封性,必要时需采取补救措施,以保证测量结果的可靠性。

Effect of electricity tariff on the optimum insulation-thickness in building walls as determined by a dynamic heat-transfer model

Thermal insulation is one of the most effective energy-conservation measures in buildings. Despite the widespread use of insulation materials in recent years, little is known regarding their optimum thickness under dynamic thermal conditions. Insulated concrete blocks are among the units most commonly used in the construction of building walls in Saudi Arabia. Typically, the insulation layer thickness is fixed at a value in the range 2.5–7.5 cm, regardless of the climatic conditions, type and cost of insulation material, and other economic parameters. In the present study, a numerical model based on a finite-volume, time-dependent implicit procedure, which has been previously validated, is used to compute the yearly cooling and heating transmission loads under steady periodic conditions through a typical building wall, for different insulation thicknesses. The transmission loads, calculated by using the climatic conditions of Riyadh for a west-facing wall, are fed into an economic model in order to determine the optimum thickness of insulation (L_opt). The latter corresponds to the minimum total cost, which includes the cost of insulation material and its installation plus the present value of energy consumption cost over the lifetime of the building. The optimum insulation thickness depends on the electricity tariff as well as the cost of insulation material, lifetime of the building, inflation and discount rates, and coefficient of performance of the air-conditioning equipment. In the present study, the effect of electricity tariff on the computed optimum insulation thickness is investigated. Different average electricity tariffs are considered; namely, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 SR/kWh (designated as Cases 1–5, respectively; 1 US$ = 3.75 Saudi Riyals). Results using moulded polystyrene as an insulating material show that the values of L_opt are: 4.8, 7.2, 10.9, 13.7 and 16.0 cm for Cases 1–5. Under the conditions of optimal insulation thickness for each electricity tariff, Case 1 gives the lowest total cost of 17.4 SR/m², while Case 5 gives the highest total cost of 53.1 SR/m². Corresponding thermal performance characteristics in terms of yearly total and peak transmission loads, R-value, time lag and decrement factor are presented.     

Extended Hyperbolic Model for Sand-to-Concrete Interfaces

A relatively simple, four-parameter extended hyperbolic model for interfaces was developed for use in soil-structure interaction analyses. The model accommodates arbitrary stress path directions and includes three important elements: (1) development of a yield surface during interface shear; (2) a formulation for yield-inducing shear stiffness that is applicable to any stress path orientation; and (3) a formulation for unloading-reloading shear stiffness. The model was evaluated against the results of shear tests performed at the interface between three different types of sand and a concrete surface under a variety of stress paths. Comparisons between measured and calculated interface response indicate that the model provides accurate estimates of the response of sand-to-concrete interfaces.

Limited reinforced space in segmental retaining walls

Current design of geosynthetic reinforced segmental retaining walls considers an a priori limitless length for reinforcement installation. Such length is typically 0.5–0.7 times the height of the wall. However, often there are constraints on such space; e.g., bedrock formation located at a small distance behind the facing. The objective of this note is to introduce a procedure for assessing the required long-term strength of the reinforcement while considering its limited length. Predictions by a conventional slope stability analysis were first checked against a continuum-mechanics based numerical analysis. Upon obtaining good agreement, a design chart was developed. The chart enables the determination of the reduction in the lateral earth pressure coefficient due to the constrained space. The revised earth pressure coefficient can be used with current analytical methods to account for the limited space. The results appear to be valid for conventional walls retaining a limited volume of soil. Comparison with limited experimental results for unreinforced backfill shows reasonably good agreement.
