External Prestressing

<p>This paper presents the basic principles for strengthening of bridges and other structures through the use of external prestressing. A case study that includes strengthening of the approach spans for the Langeland Bridge in the south-eastern part of Denmark is included.</p><p>During a recent rehabilitation, corrosion of the post-tensioned tendons was discovered inside the box girders of the bridge. Additional analysis of the extent of the corrosion and a structural assessment was undertaken. Based on this, a strengthening project was carried out, and strengthening with external prestressing is currently being implemented.</p>

Over Time

India's experience with the international computer industry serves as a key test of the “bargaining school” and the “Marxist-dependencia school” on relations between developing countries and multinational enterprises. India changed (and improved) its performance over time in reformulating its ties with the international computer industry. How did changes in international computer technology and industrial structure combine with Indian domestic institutional and political developments to yield an improved position for India in international computing? The case study illustrates the overall analytical superiority of the bargaining school over the Marxist-dependencia school. It also suggests a modest revision of the bargaining school's understanding of the speed at which certain developing countries are attaining the capability to negotiate successfully with multinationals in high-technology industries.

Effective Development

Uzbekistan is paying great attention to the textile industry as an industry offering a traditional production advantage, coming to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish and implement effective policies. In Uzbekistan as in other developing countries, whereas there are many strategic directions and development strategies to be considered for key industries, investment resources are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize and to apply limited resources accordingly. Even though research on the textile industry in Uzbekistan is ongoing for a long time, most of the resultant literature concerns only general industrial trends and pertinent investment and advancement strategies. The present study examined sustainable, concrete, and effective development strategy directions for the Uzbekistan textile industry using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model. The SWOT-AHP model was tested in a case study on Uzbekistan’s textile industry. In the case study, the results were presented in an illustrative way by utilizing the quantitative information achieved by the model. The results indicated that the weakness and opportunity (WO) strategy had the highest importance, and suggested accordingly that priority should be given to that strategy for Uzbekistan’s textile industry development. The results further suggested that the Uzbekistan government should endeavor to upgrade obsolescent technology and solve the problems of high-priced imported raw materials and workers’ low education level, which are weak points of the textile industry of that country. Also, Uzbekistan should gradually shift the industrial structure from raw cotton to finished textile exportation, which offers relatively high added economic value. To achieve this, the Uzbek government needs to promote joint ventures and strategic alliances with foreign companies wishing to enter the textile industry through foreign direct investment (FDI) schemes.

The paper explored how to develop schemes to achieve a district’s energy consumption per gross domestic product (ECPGDP) target. It first analysed the available measures regarding the reduction of ECPGDP. These measures include optimising the industrial structure, reducing the energy intensity of different industries, reducing the per capita residential energy consumption, and reducing the energy losses. Next, the procedure and methods of developing schemes to achieve the target ECPGDP were proposed. The procedure contains five steps: determine the target ECPGDP, predicting the initial value of the ECPGDP, analysing the availability of different measures of reducing the ECPGDP, forming the schemes of achieving the target, and summarising the proposed schemes. Finally, the paper considered the 12th Five-Year period ECPGDP target of Daxing District, Beijing as a study case. In the case study, four quantitative schemes to achieve the target ECPGDP were considered.

The City

Hangzhou urban agglomeration (HzUA) plays a decisive role in Zhejiang province and even in the Changjiang delta. Whose core is Hangzhou, the main body is Hangzhou district and Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing city is the vice center. It is an important subject to evaluate sustainability of the HzUA quantitatively.The article constructs the city ecological efficiency index (CEI) with the emergy analysis theory, analyzes quantitatively the resources supply and environmental capacity of the HzUA. The case study shows that the CEIs of the four major cities are all not high, among 0.15-0.19. Especially, the CEI of Jiaxing is the minimum, although whose renewable natural resources of unit area is the maximum. It is worth attention. To realize the HzUA steady, harmonious and healthy development, two aspects measures must be adopted, namely, adjust industrial structure and strengthen environmental protection.

Mature resource-dependent cities as resource security base, is an important guarantee for the sustained and healthy development of China's economy. But with the increasing economic and natural consumption, promoting transformation of these cities is already becoming the objective of sustainable development. Mature resource-dependent cities in Shanxi province are facing many matters, such as low energy efficiency, high dependence and low added value, fragile ecological environment and other issues. Therefore we should take efficient use of energy, promote energy base construction, optimize industrial structure, improve the technical level, better the ecological environment and use other measures to promote industrial restructuring and upgrading to achieve the goal of sustainable development.
