Rock bursts are serious threats to safety and production in coalmines, which are becoming more serious with the increase in mining intensity and depth. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) always occurs along with coal rock deformation and fracture. EMR monitoring technique, the method using the short period changes of EMR signals before rock burst, has been widely applied to monitor and predict rock burst. This paper mainly studied the relationship of EMR generated by coal rock mass to applied loads and monitored the working face and roadways of coalmine by monitoring instrument, the results show that the EMR monitoring method has excellent performance in predicting rock burst.

The present paper is a laboratory study on the effect of using silica nanoparticles with cellulose fibers in increasing compressive, flexural and tensile strength of concrete and the results has been compared with ordinary concrete made of cement alone. Evaluation is conducted based on a 28-day long period, and a 7-day short period; the results showed that the concrete containing a small percentage of nanoparticles, with a determined ratio of water and cement, in comparison with ordinary concrete with the same water and cement ratio, has improved considerably. For comparison, compressive, flexural and tensile strength of plain concrete and the concrete containing cellulose fibers is also measured. The results show that by each of these three criteria, strength of concrete containing nano-materials and the cellulosic fibers has been increased considerably. Finally, the relationship between compressive, flexural and tensile strength of concrete shows that the tensile and flexural strength of the concrete containing nanoparticles increases by increasing compressive strength.

Nondestructive testing technology is essential in the quality inspection of repair, alteration, and renovation of the existing engineering, especially for concrete structure in severe environment. The objective of this work is to deal with the behavior of ultrasonic velocity and mechanical properties of plain concrete and air-entrained concrete subjected to freeze-thaw cycles (F-T-C). The ultrasonic velocity and mechanical properties (tensile strength, compressive strength, cubic compressive strength, and splitting strength) of C30 air-entrained concrete and plain concrete with different water-cement ratio (water-cement ratio was 0.55, 0.45, and 0.50, resp.) after F-T cycles were measured. The influences of F-T cycles on ultrasonic velocity and mechanical properties of C30 air-entrained concrete and plain concrete were analyzed. And the relationship between mechanical properties and ultrasonic velocity was established. The experimental results can be useful for the design of new concrete structure, maintenance and life prediction of existing concrete structure such as offshore platform and concrete dock wall.

Freeze-thaw cycles can affect the chloride diffusivity of concrete to a certain extend. The experimental study of plain concrete specimens with different strength grade were carried out, suffering 0, 50, 100 and 150 cycles of freeze-thaw. Chloride ion penetration under different strength, different cycle-index and the concrete mass-loss caused by freeze-thaw cycles are analyzed. Using this method the relationship of chlorion permeability with concrete strength is established when the concrete specimens reach to a particular value of freezing and thawing cycles.

The parameters of acoustic emission signals were analyzed which titanium plate specimens with crack under tension fracture process used acoustic emission technique. Based on the results of stress-strain curves, crack opening displacement-time curves and CCD images, the relationship between parameters of acoustic emission signal and mechanical behavior of the titanium was investigated. The results show acoustic emission signals increased significantly during yield, crack propagation and fracture with different load speeds, the energy amplitude range of acoustic emission signals was mainly from 50dB to 65dB. The characteristic parameters including AE energy, hit and amplitude can be used to represent the mechanical and inner deformation form of titanium during plastic deformation and fracture process.

When HMA (hot mixture asphalt) is used to remedy functional or structural deficiencies of existing JPCP (joint plain concrete pavement), reflection cracking is a major distress mode in HMA overlay. The basic mechanism of reflection cracking is the propagation of cracks through the overlay due to deflection difference in the joints vicinity of the existing pavements. In this paper the model of JPCP is created by three finite element method and the relationship between joint deflection difference and effects such as base modulus, elastic coefficient of spring elements is discussed. Based on the model of JPCP, the finite element model of asphalt overlay is created then and shear stress concentration phenomenon is found at the bottom of HMA where is just above the joint of JPCP. So, the rule of the shear stress at the bottom of HMA with deflection difference at the joint of JPCP is studied.
