The present study analyzes the effect of pressure dam depth and relief track depth on the performance of three-lobe pressure dam bearing. Different values of dam depth and relief track depth are taken in nondimensional form in order to analyze their effect. Results are plotted for different parameters against eccentricity ratios and it is shown that the effect of pressure dam depth and relief track depth has great significance on stability and other performance parameters. Study of stability and performance characteristics is undertaken simultaneously.

This study assessed the structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) arch bridges under strong ground motion. A detailed three-dimensional finite element model of a 400 m RC arch bridge with composite superstructure and double RC piers was developed and its behavior when subjected to strong earthquakes examined. Two sets of ground motion records were applied to simulate pulse-type near- and far-field motions. The inelastic behavior of the concrete elements was then evaluated via a seismic time history analysis. The concept of Demand to Capacity Ratios (DCR) was utilized to produce an initial estimate of the dynamic performance of the structure, emphasizing the importance of capacity distribution of force and bending moment within the RC arch and the springings and piers of the bridge. The results showed that the earthquake loads, broadly categorized as near- and far-field earthquake loads, changed a number of the bridge’s characteristics and hence its structural performance.

Circular Hollow Section

Spun pile is one of the types of piles are widely used in the world construction, for example in building and bridge. Spun pile is a prestressed concrete pile with circular hollow section. This paper provides an overview of the research development of spun pile, starting from 80's until now. This overview is related to methods of increasing the strength and reliability of spun pile due to earthquake loads, either by modifying the longitudinal reinforcement and confinement. In addition, this paper also discusses about the failure patterns of spun pile due to seismic loads. Finally, this paper can be a reference for understanding the scope of the research topics that have been done by researchers. Thus, by this overview can be obtained new idea for the next research to improve the performance of spun pile carry seismic loads.

Stiffness And Damping

The objective of the present work is to study theoretically the influence of wear on the performance of four-pocket capillary-compensated hydrostatic journal bearing operating with micropolar lubricant. In the present study, the lubricant containing additives and contaminants is modeled as micropolar fluid. The modified Reynolds equation for micropolar lubricant is solved using finite element method along with capillary restrictor flow equation as a constraint together with appropriate boundary conditions. The performance characteristics of a capillary-compensated four-pocket worn hydrostatic journal bearing operating with micropolar lubricant have been presented for a wide range of values of nondimensional external load, wear depth parameter, and micropolar parameters. The simulated results have also been presented for two different loading arrangements. In arrangement I, the load line acts through centers of the pockets, whereas in arrangement II, the load line bisects the land between two pockets. The simulated results suggest that a bearing lubricated with lubricant having higher micropolar effect has better static and dynamic performance characteristics as compared with Newtonian lubricant but the bearing lubricated with lubricant having higher micropolar effect is predominantly affected by the wear vis a vis static characteristics parameters as compared with Newtonian lubricant for both loading arrangements. However, in the case of stiffness and damping coefficients, loading arrangement II shows a significant higher enhancement in the value of direct stiffness and damping coefficients in z-direction due to micropolar effect as compared with load arrangement I. And also, the effect of wear on stiffness and damping coefficients in z-direction for bearing operating with micropolar lubricant is of same order as Newtonian lubricant for the loading arrangement II. A similar behavior is observed for the case of stiffness and damping coefficients in x-direction for loading arrangement I.

When sulfur vulcanized natural rubber compounds are exposed to a thermal ageing environment significant change in physical properties and performance characteristics are observed. These changes are directly related to modifications of the original crosslink structure. Decomposition reactions tend to predominate and thus leading to reduction in crosslink density and physical properties as observed during extended cure and when using higher curing temperatures. The decrease in network density is common when vulcanizates are subject to an anaerobic ageing process. However, in the presence of oxygen, the network density is increased with the main chain modifications playing a vital role. Over the years the rubber industry has developed several compounding approaches to address the changes in crosslink structure during thermal ageing. This paper gives a review of these compounding approaches. As with many formulation changes in rubber compounding, there is a compromise that must be made when attempting to improve one performance characteristic. For example, improving the thermal stability of vulcanized natural rubber compounds by reducing the sulfur content of the crosslink through the use of the more efficient vulcanization systems will reduce dynamic performance property such as fatigue resistance. The challenge is to define a way to improve thermal stability while maintaining dynamic performance characteristics.
