The application of polymer grouting in underground pipeline rehabilitation is increasing gradually. The leakage and subsidence of buried pipelines could be repaired by polymer grouting technology. In order to analyse the calculation theory of the pipeline repairing process, the Winkler model and the Vlazov model of the pipe-soil-polymer interaction based on the elastoplastic theory are established, the calculation formulas of the pipe-soil interaction under polymer grouting are derived, and the MATLAB calculation program based on the transfer matrix method is compiled. Then the calculated values are compared with the pipeline experimental values, and the influence of different factors on the internal force and deformation of the polymer-repaired pipeline under different work conditions is discussed. The results show that the values and trends of the pipe deformation and circumferential bending moment calculated by the models are consistent with the experimental results, and the results obtained by the Vlazov model are closer to the experimental values. In addition, the void at the bottom of the pipeline has a large impact on the mechanical properties of the pipeline. However, polymer grouting can repair disengaged pipelines effectively and restore their mechanical properties. The proposed methods and calculation results are valuable for pipeline polymer repairing analysis and pipeline void repairing design.

Finite element method is often used to obtain exact solution in the course of internal force calculation of some complex frames which contain nodal vertical displacement such as frames with transferring layer and mega-frames with sub-structure. In the phase of scheme comparison and schematic design, methods which can quickly produce calculation results of the above said frameworks are necessary. Based on the basic principle of displacement method, this paper proposes a simple analytical method for frameworks that contain nodal vertical displacement. According to the proposal, the basic structure for calculation is the framework in which is added vertical chain-pole at relevant node; the basic unknown quantities are the nodal vertical displacement of the basic structure; the basic equation is fixed according to the equilibrium of node forces; unit vertical displacement as well as bending moment and shear diagram of the basic structure under external load are respectively obtained by using moment redistribution method; nodal vertical displacement is determined through substitution of shear force of relevant rod into the equilibrium equation of the chain-pole node; the actual internal force is determined through superposition of actual vertical displacement and internal force diagram algebra of the basic structure under vertical external load. An engineering example is introduced, which is intended to provide reference for the simple calculation for the above said complex frameworks.

Because of two-way curved arch bridge with low design load, less structural steel, improper construction, overloading and poor integrity, when the bridge structure can’t satisfy the carrying capacity and traffic capacity requirements, we urgently need reinforce the bridge, which has become an important link of safety assessment and insurance of the bridge structures. Internal force calculation of two-way curved arch bridge is done, and calculation conclusions of Aohan Bridge are shown. Plane rod unit’s calculation results show that the bridge under the action of steam-20, hang-100 loads, eccentricity of the section at the arch feet in main arch ring beyond allowable eccentricity, a state of large eccentric's stress appears, and on surface of the arch feet appeared tensile crack in the load simulation. The calculation results of the main arch ring shows that a phenomenon of stress concentration exists in the arch feet, in addition to the influence of big eccentric. Technology processing should be considered when do the arch feet reinforcement. Data from the arch ring calculation results, the bridge has certain overload potential. But according to the bending moment distribution, strengthen the resistance bending moment in the arch feet, an allow full play to the potential of concrete iron in the arch rib under the premise of reinforced the positive bending moment.

The marine derrick sometimes operates under extreme weather conditions, especially wind; therefore, the buckling analysis of the components in the derrick is one of the critical contents of engineering safety research. This paper aimed to study the local stability of marine derrick and propose an analytical method for geometrically nonlinear problems. The rod in the derrick is simplified as a compression rod with simply supported ends, which is subjected to transverse uniform load. Considering the second-order effect, the differential equations were used to establish the deflection, rotation angle, and bending moment equations of the derrick rod under the lateral uniform load. This method was defined as a geometrically nonlinear analytical method. Moreover, the deflection deformation and stability of the derrick members were analyzed, and the practical calculation formula was obtained. The Ansys analysis results were compared with the calculation results in this paper.

In this work, an additive model for the prediction of the rheological and mechanical properties of monopolymer blends made by virgin and reprocessed components is proposed. A polypropylene sample has been reprocessed more times in an extruder and monopolymer blends have been prepared by simulating an industrial process. The scraps are exposed to regrinding and are melt reprocessed before mixing with the virgin polymer. The reprocessed polymer is, then, subjected to some thermomechanical degradation. Rheological and mechanical experimental data have been compared with the theoretical predictions. The results obtained showed that the values of this simple additive model are a very good fit for the experimental values of both rheological and mechanical properties.

The steel assembled support structure of a foundation pit can be assembled easily with high strength and recycling value. Steel’s performance is significantly affected by the surrounding temperature due to its temperature sensitivity. Here, a full-scale experiment was conducted to study the influence of temperature on the internal force and deformation of supporting structures, and a three-dimensional finite element model was established for comparative analysis. The test results showed that under the temperature effect, the deformation of the central retaining pile was composed of rigid rotation and flexural deformation, while the adjacent pile of central retaining pile only experienced flexural deformation. The stress on the retaining pile crown changed little, while more stress accumulated at the bottom. Compared with the crown beam and waist beam 2, the stress on waist beam 1 was significantly affected by the temperature and increased by about 0.70 MPa/°C. Meanwhile, the stress of the rigid panel was greatly affected by the temperature, increasing 78% and 82% when the temperature increased by 15 °C on rigid panel 1 and rigid panel 2, respectively. The comparative simulation results indicated that the bending moment and shear strength of pile 1 were markedly affected by the temperature, but pile 2 and pile 3 were basically stable. Lastly, as the temperature varied, waist beam 2 had the largest change in the deflection, followed by waist beam 1; the crown beam experienced the smallest change in the deflection.

Due to the sharp and corrosion-prone features of steel fibers, there is a demand for ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) reinforced with nonmetallic fibers. In this paper, glass fiber (GF) and the high-performance polypropylene (HPP) fiber were selected to prepare UHPC, and the effects of different fibers on the compressive, tensile and bending properties of UHPC were investigated, experimentally and numerically. Then, the damage evolution of UHPC was further studied numerically, adopting the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model. The difference between the simulation values and experimental values was within 5.0%, verifying the reliability of the numerical model. The results indicate that 2.0% fiber content in UHPC provides better mechanical properties. In addition, the glass fiber was more significant in strengthening the effect. Compared with HPP-UHPC, the compressive, tensile and flexural strength of GF-UHPC increased by about 20%, 30% and 40%, respectively. However, the flexural toughness indexes I5, I10 and I20 of HPP-UHPC were about 1.2, 2.0 and 3.8 times those of GF-UHPC, respectively, showing that the toughening effect of the HPP fiber is better.

Piping items in power plants may experience combined bending and torsion moments during operation. Currently, there is a lack of guidance in the ASME B&PV Code Section XI for combined loading modes including pressure, torsion and bending. Finite element analyses were conducted for 24-inch diameter Schedule 80 pipes with local wall thinning subjected to tensile and compressive stresses. Plastic collapse bending moments were calculated under constant torsion moments. From the calculation results, it can be seen that collapse bending moment for pipes with local thinning subjected to tensile stress is smaller than that subjected to compressive stress. In addition, equivalent moment is defined as the root the sum of the squares of the torsion and bending moments. It is found that the equivalent moments can be approximated with the pure bending moments, when the wall thinning length is equal or less than 7.73R·t for the wall thinning depth of 75% of the nominal thickness, where R is the mean radius and t is the wall thickness of the pipe.

In order to get mechanical properties ,some RPC samples with 5% steel fiber are tested, many groups data were obtained such as compressive strength, shear strength and fracture toughness. And a group of tests on RPC with 5% steel-fiber under penetration were also conducted to validate the performance to impact. The penetration tests are carried out by the semi-AP projectiles with the diameter of 57 mm and earth penetrators with the diameter of 80 mm, and velocities of the two kinds of projectiles are 300~600 m/s and 800~900 m/s, respectively. By contrast between the experimental data and the calculation results of C30 reinforced concrete by using experiential formula under penetration, it shows that the resistance of steel-fiber RPC to penetration is 3 times as that of general C30 reinforced concrete.

Summary The relationship between transverse Young's moduli and cell shapes in coniferous early wood was investigated using cell models constructed by two dimensional power spectrum analysis. The calculated values of tangential Young's modulus qualitatively explained the relationship between experimental values and density as well as the difference in experimental values among species. The calculated values of radial Young's modulus for the species having hexagonal cells agreed well with the experimental values, whereas, for the species having square cells, the calculated values were much larger than the experimental values. This result was ascribed to the fact that the bending moment on the radial cell wall of square cell models was calculated to be small. It is suggested that the asymmetrical shape of real wood cells or the behavior of nodes during ell deformation is an important factor in the mechanism of linear elastic deformation of wood cells.

Carbon-carbon composites (CCCs) widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Phenolic resins have a relatively high carbon yield, which makes them a suitable candidate for CCCs manufacturing. Molecular Dynamics (MD) can further reduce costs by predicting properties of a material before manufacturing and testing. In the present work, a Molecular Dynamics (MD) model of a crosslinked phenolic resin was developed to predict mechanical properties by implementing the fix bond/react algorithm in LAMMPS. The predicted mass density (ρ) and Young’s Modulus (E) agree well with experimental values and highlights the validity of the topologybased approach to building stable molecular models of phenolic resins.
