In order to prepare the ultra-fine full gold tailing aggregate cementing materials, the gold tailing powders were mixed with cement under different proportions. Then the effect of sand quantity, water quantity and dosage of water-reducing agent on the compressive strength of the full tailing aggregate cementing materials was studied using response surface method in Design-Expert software. Based on the regression analysis of test results, a visual model was provided. The research results show that when the relative mass dosage of cement is 1, the amount of sand is greater than 1.1, the amount of water is greater than 0.24, and the amount of water reducing agent is 0.01. The 7d compressive strength of tailings concrete shows a significant negative linear correlation with the amount of sand and water. That implays the concrete strength decreases with the increase of the amount of sand and water. When the relative mass of cement is 1, the maximum 7d strength of concrete appears at the relative mass of sand 1.0, the amount of water is 0.22, and the amount of water reducer is 0.01. The maximum 7d compressive strength is about 75.43MPa.

Scrap tires that are dumped to landfill is a serious problem in China and rest of the world. The use of rubber in concrete is an effective environmental approach to reduce the amount of scrap tires around the world. However, the loss in compressive strength of concrete is a major drawback of rubberized concrete. In this paper, the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement technique is used to overcome the drawbacks of rubberized concrete (RuC). A total of sixty six RuC cylinders were tested in axial compression. The cylinders were cast using recycled rubber to replace, a) 0-50 percent fine aggregate volume, b) 0-50 percent coarse aggregate volume, and c) 40-50 percent fine and coarse aggregate volume. Twenty seven cylinders of the latter mix were then confined with one, two and three layers of CFRP jackets. Concrete suffered a substantial reduction in compressive strength up to 80 percent by fine and coarse aggregate replacement with rubber content. However, CFRP jackets recovered and further enhanced the axial compressive strength of RuC up to 600% over unconfined RuC. SEM was performed to investigate the microstructural properties of RuC. Statistical models were developed on the basis of experimental tests for FRP confined RuC cylinders using response surface method. The effect of variable factors; unconfined concrete strength, rubber replacement type and number of FRP layers on confined compressive concrete strength was investigated. The regression analysis was performed to develop the response equations based on quadratic models. The predicted and experimental test results were found in good agreement as the variation between experimental and predicted values were less than 5%. Furthermore, the difference between predicted and adjusted R2 was found to be less than 0.2 which shows the significance of the statistical models. These proposed statistical models can provide a better understanding to design the experiments and the parameters affecting FRP-confined RuC cylinders.

The main goal of this study was to optimize the compressive strength of reactive powder concrete (RPC) for an energy storage pile application using response surface method (RSM). The compressive strength of 9 different RPC mixtures along with 3 plain concrete mixtures was determined. Silica fume (SF) content and the water-to-binder ratio (w/b) were selected as parameters to influence the compressive strength of the concrete mixture. RSM regression analysis was used to develop a prediction model of compressive strength. Based on test results and linear interpolation, the combination of 20.46% SF and w/b=0.20 was determined to achieve the highest compressive strength.

To reveal the effect of high-temperature creep on the blade-tip radial running clearance of aeroengine high-pressure turbines, a distributed collaborative generalized regression extremum neural network is proposed by absorbing the heuristic thoughts of distributed collaborative response surface method and the generalized extremum neural network, in order to improve the reliability analysis of blade-tip clearance with creep behavior in terms of modeling precision and simulation efficiency. In this method, the generalized extremum neural network was used to handle the transients by simplifying the response process as one extremum and to address the strong nonlinearity by means of its nonlinear mapping ability. The distributed collaborative response surface method was applied to handle multi-object multi-discipline analysis, by decomposing one “big” model with hyperparameters and high nonlinearity into a series of “small” sub-models with few parameters and low nonlinearity. Based on the developed method, the blade-tip clearance reliability analysis of an aeroengine high-pressure turbine was performed subject to the creep behaviors of structural materials, by considering the randomness of influencing parameters such as gas temperature, rotational speed, material parameters, convective heat transfer coefficient, and so forth. It was found that the reliability degree of the clearance is 0.9909 when the allowable value is 2.2 mm, and the creep deformation of the clearance presents a normal distribution with a mean of 1.9829 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07539 mm. Based on a comparison of the methods, it is demonstrated that the proposed method requires a computing time of 1.201 s and has a computational accuracy of 99.929% over 104 simulations, which are improvements of 70.5% and 1.23%, respectively, relative to the distributed collaborative response surface method. Meanwhile, the high efficiency and high precision of the presented approach become more obvious with the increasing simulations. The efforts of this study provide a promising approach to improve the dynamic reliability analysis of complex structures.
