This paper investigates the isolation performances of bid DB02 section of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge. The navigable cable-stayed bridge and the non-navigable steel-concrete continuous girder bridge in the high-pier and low-pier regions are taken as an illustration. The finite element models with aseismatic bearings and isolated bearings are established and the seismic time-history analysis under the earthquake levels of P2 and P3 are carried out. The nonlinear properties of LRB, HDR, and FPB isolated bearings and the pile-soil interaction are simulated using bilinear spring elements and layered Winkler soil springs model, respectively. The results show that the bridge structure with isolated bearings is more flexible by extending vibration period. The dissipated hysteric energy can effectively reduce the earthquake energy and the response of the structure. Subject to the earthquake level P3, most piers of the bridge are in elastic state. Subject to the earthquake level P2, the bridge is in perfect elastic state. The isolating effect of the isolated bearings to the continuous girder bridge is better than the cable-stayed bridge with tower and beam consolidation.

<p>Twin-deck cable-stayed bridge with shared pylon (TDBSP) is an innovative structural arrangement captured with complex mechanical performance and highly interaction effect between two bridges, as the deck layouts are asymmetrical and two bridges share one merged pylon leg. This paper explores the calculation and construction methods of TDBSP, based on the record-breaking Rod El Farag Axis Bridge. Single-beam model (SBM) and beam-plate model (BPM) are firstly established, and the numerical results are compared with field surveys as validations. Then, the interaction effect of two bridges during construction are studied, and a comparison of synchronous construction method (SCM) and asynchronous construction method (ASCM) are investigated during the construction of TDBSP.</p>

<p>Yachihe Bridge is a record‐breaking cable‐stayed bridge with 800m steel truss deck in the main span. As the bridge side spans are limited in size due to environmental constraints, 220m concrete decks are the optimized solutions for the side spans to balance the weight of steel truss deck in the main span. The joint of concrete deck and steel truss deck is one of the most complex points of the bridge, as it bears the maximum axial force and the structural cross sections, rigidities and material properties are changed at this position. This paper mainly presents the detailed design and numerical analysis for the steel‐concrete joint of Yachihe Bridge to investigate its structural performance. Meanwhile, the numerical results of concrete and steel decks, bearing plate and shear studs of the joint are also discussed.</p>

In this paper, we have studied a bridge with span-arrangement 112m+80m+32m,which is a three-span single-tower double cable plane swivel cable-stayed bridge. The bridge girder use channel section and bridge tower and girder consolidate an inverted Y-shaped structure in both directions. 112m + 80m main beams adopt swiveling construction. The bridge structure is novel, loading is complex. This thesis will systematically study the mechanical performance of the bridge in swiveling process.

The Pylon of Xinjiang Cable-Stayed Bridge has a special geometric form, of which the anchorage zone adopts the steel-concrete composite structure with built-in steel anchorage box. To investigate the mechanical behavior, the refined 3D finite element model has been established with the shear nails of steel anchorage box simulated. The stress conditions of steel anchorage box and concrete under prestressing bar and stayed cable forces have been then studied. The bearing proportion at the anchorage zone for the horizontal component of cable force has been calculated. Results indicate that the overall mechanical performance of the anchorage zone is excel, which can be a reference for designing of similar structure.

The major topic covered in this paper is fabrication and performance study of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafine fibers from high-concentration solutions via a vibration-electrospinning technique. The influences of ultrasonic vibration on the solution properties of high viscous PAN solution as well as surface morphology and mechanical performance of PAN fibrous mats were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the mechanical properties was significant; (2) the vibrorheological effects of ultrasonic vibration appeared not only in dramatic reduction of polymer viscosity, but also in improvement of the electrospinnability of polymer solutions; (3) fibers with smaller diameter, better uniformity and fewer surface defects were prepared with the application of vibration; and (4) the tensile strength of membranes was substantially enhanced at optimized vibration parameters comparing that without vibration treatment.

A swivel cable-stayed bridge over the existing railway is a span across the existing railway. The recommended scheme for the main bridge is (128 + 388 + 128) m steel mixed composite beam swivel diagonal pull bridge with span. The cables of the diagonal pull bridge are arranged according to the fanshaped central double cable plane, taking into account the mechanical performance and aesthetics. The bridge structure adopts semi floating system. The concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge is adopted in the comparison scheme. The design of the bridge is three spans and (138 + 268 + 138) m prestressed concrete box girder is adopted. The cables are arranged according to the central double cable plane, and the bridge composition adopts the consolidation system. Considering the needs of bridge operation and maintenance in the later stage of the bridge, when the dead weight of concrete diagonal pull bridge is within the ideal range, the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge can be preferred. In order to calculate the dead weight of the selected bridge, the author uses the finite element software to model the whole bridge and calculate the weight of the bridge. The results show that the dead weight of the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge is too large, which has exceeded the maximum bearing capacity of the existing spherical hinge. In order to continue to use the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge scheme, it is necessary to optimize the design of the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge scheme.

Abstract Polyurethane (PU)/silicon carbide composites, which can rapidly repair cracked asphalt pavements, were synthesized by addition polymerization. The materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mechanical performance tests. Liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanate (L-MDI) type prepolymer/toluene diisocyanate (TDI-80) type prepolymer weight ratio, curing agent and silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) were investigated mainly in this paper. In addition, silicon carbide was treated with KH550. Results show that the crystal structure of silicon carbide had subtle changes and the correct amount of KH550 can enhance the mechanical performance and thermal endurance.
