Using Bandwidth-Space Partitioning to Improve Cell Coverage and Near-Far Unfair Access Problem in a Noise-Limited CDMA Cellular Network

This paper concerns CDMA cellular networks equipped with conventional matched filter receivers. For this type of cellular networks, two problems exist. One is the inverse relationship between the coverage and capacity, and the other one is the near-far unfair access problem. To resolve these two problems, a bandwidth-space partitioning technique is adopted. Several admission control schemes based on the bandwidth-space partitioning technique are proposed, and their performances are evaluated based on the simulation.Shih-Tsung Yang received his B.S.

Evaluation of Laminated Circular Elastomeric Bearings

This paper evaluates the behavior and performance of laminated circular elastomeric bearings and compares them to those of square and rectangular bearings. The study included an experimental evaluation and a nationwide survey of state Department of Transportations on the use and performance of circular bearings and bearings in general in their states. The experimental investigation studied the bearings' behavior in compression, compression and rotation, and compression and shear. Results from this limited study showed that the three bearings have similar stress-strain behavior in compression and they are in agreement with the AASHTO LRFD guide stress–strain curves. In compression and rotation, the AASHTO LRFD substructure moments are slightly less than the measured values for circular bearings and rectangular bearings rotated about their strong axis for a compressive stress of 10.3?MPa (1.5?ksi) and slightly higher than those of rectangular bearings rotated about their weak axis. In compression and shear, the shear stiffness of circular and square bearings is in agreement with theoretical values within the range of design displacements. Results from the survey showed that many states are using circular bearings and more states would consider using them, however no maintenance or monitoring data were available on their short-term and long-term performance.

大型储罐基础非平面倾斜问题的探讨

大型储罐因基础产生非平面倾斜而影响其正常使用的情况在工程中时有发生,文章通过对某油罐工程中基础沉降观测结果的分析,探讨了储罐基础产生非平面倾斜的原因。相邻储罐之间的相互影响、充水预压未达到规范要求以及地基处理措施不当是引起储罐基础非平面倾斜的主要因素。针对相邻储罐间的相互影响,根据现行《石油化工企业设计防火规范》和《石油化工企业钢储罐地基与基础设计规范》的规定,提出以下建议:储罐布置的净距除应满足防火规范规定外,有条件时也应适当考虑对基础沉降的影响,当采用复合地基时,相邻储罐间的净距不宜小于0.6 D;当占地面积成为主要矛盾,储罐间的净距只能限制在防火规范规定的最小范围时,在地基处理时就应采取有效措施,以尽可能减少相邻储罐的相互影响。
