基于多点地震反应合肥新桥国际机场钢结构体系比选

地震动的空间效应对大跨结构动力响应有很大影响。通过有限元软件ANSYS建立合肥新桥国际机场航站楼三种不同分区连接形式的计算模型,通过时程分析法计算三种模型在一致地震输入与多点地震输入下的响应,采用设计应力比等参数来比较三种模型响应的差别,最终得到三种方案的在多点地震输入下的响应差别以及产生差别的原因。结果表明,刚接模型对于多点地震输入更为敏感,但由于选用的比较参数不同,不能找出哪个方案最优,因此设计计算时应根据具体的结构形式进行分析,最终得到准确的分析结果。

复摩擦摆支座应用于楼面隔震研究

对复摩擦摆支座在楼面隔震中的应用进行了研究.在长期使用过程中,隔震楼板的上部质量可能发生较大变化,考虑到摩擦摆支座自身隔震周期与上部质量无关的特性以及复摩擦摆支座相较于单曲面摩擦摆支座更好的隔震效益,因此推荐复摩擦摆支座用作楼面隔震支座.为控制隔震楼板相对结构楼面的位移,可通过提高复摩擦摆支座的摩擦系数或附加粘滞阻尼器而实现.以一工程实例为背景,对比研究粘滞阻尼器+低摩擦系数复摆支座方案与高摩擦系数复摆支座的隔震效果,发现前一方案 可以保证不同加速度水平作用下隔震楼面的隔震效果,是一种较好的隔震配置组合.     

Examining housing discrimination across race,gender and felony history

Those who have been convicted of crimes are subjected to a stigma that affects many aspects of their social lives. The “felon” label brings collateral consequences that make it difficult to obtain basic human needs, including housing. This study uses the audit method to examine the effects of race, gender, and criminal history on housing outcomes. Testers, exhibiting characteristics suggestive of race and gender and disclosing one of three offenses, placed phone calls to rental property owners across the Midwest to inquire about renting a property. We found powerful negative effects for those with a criminal record seeking apartments, regardless of whether the offense was sexual or drug-related. However, we found no differences between minority and non-minority testers. We explain these findings in the context of housing as an essential resource for formerly incarcerated individuals.     

A proactive and resilient seismic risk mitigation strategy for existing school buildings

Different methods and procedures have been developed to define prioritisation strategies of retrofit interventions aimed at reducing the seismic risk of school buildings on a large territorial scale. However, these approaches fail to demonstrate how risk analysis has been used successfully to quantitatively assess and select the optimal risk management decision. This article proposes innovative and useful metrics to measure the potential costs and benefits related to the prioritisation of retrofit intervention and the resilience of the analysed school system by directly integrating engineering, organisational, socio-economic and political aspects in the realm of seismic resilience assessment. Based on probabilistic risk assessments considering the new vulnerability of the prioritised school buildings, these measures could predict the expected economic and functional losses associated with a disastrous seismic event, as well as the possible post-disaster recovery of the system. In order to help decision-makers in selecting the optimal mitigation strategy with a multidisciplinary and multidimensional perspective, different political scenarios, the relative prioritisations of interventions and their intervention options are also defined. The proposed framework is demonstrated in a complex case study of 1,825 public schools in the Lima metropolitan area, Peru. Policymakers, planners and engineering professionals could benefit from results.     

Mitigation of tower and out-of-plane blade vibrations of offshore monopile wind turbines by using multiple tuned mass dampers

Offshore wind turbines are vulnerable to external vibration sources such as wind and wave excitations due to the increasing size and flexibility. It is necessary to mitigate the excessive vibrations of offshore wind turbines to ensure the safety and serviceability during their operations. Some research works have been carried out to control the excessive vibrations of the tower and the in-plane vibrations of blades. Very limited study focuses on the out-of-plane vibration mitigation of blades. In the present study, a detailed finite element (FE) model of the latest NREL 5MW wind turbine is developed by using the FE code ABAQUS. The tower and blades are explicitly modelled, and the rotating of the blades is considered. Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) are proposed to be installed in the tower and each blade to simultaneously mitigate the out-of-plane vibrations of the tower and blades when the wind turbine is subjected to the combined wind and wave loadings. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are systematically investigated. Numerical results show that MTMDs can effectively mitigate the out-of-plane vibrations of the tower and blades when the wind turbine is in either the operational or parked condition.
