Abstract As an indispensable part of transportation system, urban underpass can alleviate traffic congestion and reduce traffic accidents effectively. In order to acquaint the hydrodynamics of shockwave in underpass and assess the potential damage and risk of bombing accidents, a numerical simulation was established to calculate the blast effects originating from the 13Kg TNT. Based on the location of detonation point, the shape of corridor section and the exit's cover, peak pressure distributions were predicted. The results indicate that the propagation of shockwave in horizontal direction switches to the inclined top of ground in a near-field due to the ground reflection and the set of exit's cover increases the risk of explosion to the structure and the users.

Reduced Scale

In this article, we present the numerical analysis of a Free Standing Riser. The numerical simulation was carried out using a commercial riser analysis software suit. The numerical model’s dimensions were the same of a 1/70 reduced scale model deployed in a previous experiment. The numerical results were compared with experimental results presented in a previous article [1]. Discussion about the model and limitations of the numerical analysis is included.

Excess Pore

Numerical simulation of vibro-stone column is taken to simulate the installation of vibro-stone column. A relationship based on test is adopted to calculate the excess pore pressure induced by vibratory energy during the installation of vibro-stone column. A numerical procedure is developed based on the formula and Terzaghi-Renduric consolidation theory. Finally numerical results of composite stone column are compared single stone column.

Design And Construction

Based on an Engineering Example which was supported by the stepped soil-nail wall, a numerical analysis model was established by FLAC3D,and the process of the excavation and supporting was simulated, and the numerical results of the soil nails internal force and foundation pit deformation were obtained. The simulated result was consistent with the measured results. It shows that the method of FLAC3D numerical analysis can be used to the numerical analysis of foundation pit excavation and supporting, and it will provide the basis for the design and construction of practice project.

Good Agreement

In the present study, the synthetic signals from the combo tube are simulated by using commercial electromagnetic numerical analysis software which has been developed based on a volume integral method. A comparison of the simulated signals to the experiments is made for the verification of accuracy, and then evaluation of five deliberated single circumferential indication signals is performed to explore a possibility of using a numerical simulation as a practical calibration tool. The good agreement between the evaluation results for two cases (calibration done by experiments and calibration made by simulation) demonstrates such a high possibility.
