Based on a project of a 22+55+22m continuous composite box beam bridge made of prestressed Concrete, using influence matrix, Numerical Simulation and Iterative Algorithm, an adjusting method for suspender force of continuous beam arch combination bridge has been proposed. It uses Finite Element Numerical Model to calculate the influence matrix and Iterative Algorithm to calculate the suspender force. When rely on this project, the error could be under 0.05% through finite iterative algorithm. And the feasibility has been tested in the completed bridge. It turns out that the error of the measured suspender force of the completed bridge is smaller than that in the design.

The Difference

Based on the funding project “a concrete-filled steel tube truss type half-through arch bridge (CFSTTTHAB) with the span of 220 m,” in view of the difference of tension between one pair of suspenders, this paper proposed an improved influence matrix method for the tension of a single suspender, which was developed from a conventional influence matrix. A method for adjusting suspender tension at the completed state of construction by using numerical simulation and iterative algorithm was also presented. Finite element numerical model was used to calculate the influence matrix of a single suspender. Moreover, an iterative algorithm was used to solve the adjustment value of suspender tension. Based on the proposed method, by processing several iterations, the difference between the measured and designed suspender tension would be controlled within 6% in the projects of suspender tension adjustment. Finally, the comparison between the measured and designed suspender tension at the completed state of construction proved the feasibility and accuracy satisfaction of the proposed method for engineering requirement.

The creep of concrete structure has a prodigious effect on bridge alignments and the stress control during the bridge construction. In the meantime, the problems such as pre-stress losses, bearing asymmetry sink ,the concrete box-beam deflection, box-beam web cracks, structure stress redistributing and so on, which make the bridge structure lose functions or even invalid early when it works. For these reasons, the construction monitor of the deformation and the long-term deflection of long-span bridges with high piers have important practical significance. Construction monitoring of prestressed concrete continuous beam bridge - new Tongyang canal bridge which adopt cantilever construction work is made.

ABSTRACTA numerical model of heat transfer by combined conduction, radiation and convection was developed using the FIDAP finite element code for NASA's Advanced Automated Directional Solidification Furnace (AADSF). The prediction of the temperature gradient in an ampoule with HgCdTe is a necessity for the evaluation of whether or not the temperature set points for furnace heaters and the details of cartridge design ensure optimal crystal growth conditions for this material and size of crystal. A prediction of crystal/melt interface shape and the flow patterns in HgCdTe are available using a separate complementary model.

Simulation Results

A numerical model for dispersion of hydrogen in hydrogen powered automobiles was established basing on finite element method with species transport and reaction module of FLUENT. And corresponding numerical simulations were done in order to analysis the dispersion of hydrogen due to leakage from different position of the storage cylinder on the automobiles. Also, the distribution of the hazard region due to hydrogen dispersion was obtained. The simulation results show that the baffle above the cylinder can accumulate the hydrogen. Therefore, the high concentration region of hydrogen exists near the baffle. The study can provide reference for hydrogen sensor placement and safety design of hydrogen powered automobiles.

During the construction of a bridge, the construction procedures may change from the originally designed procedures due to some reasons like the weather. In this paper, the influence of construction procedures on the liner and stress is investigated for a prestressed continuous beam bridge with three spans. Finite element analysis indicated that construction procedures have great impact on the liner control and they affect the middle span and side span differently. Although different sets of construction procedures cause different stress at corresponding construction stages after the cantilever construction is finished, they have no significant influence on the stress of the finally built bridge. Test data agreed with finite element analysis. It is thus the influence of construction procedures on bridge liner control should not be neglected.

Change Trend

In order to avoid the heat transfixion among users in the concentration area of the water source heat pump, a suitable layout of pumps for drawing and recharging wells is required. Finite element method is adopted to establish the numerical model of groundwater temperature to predict the change trend of water temperature. The results of the simulation indicate that the groundwater temperature change from 6.3 to 14.2 °C in winter, and from 11.5 to 21.2 °C in summer. These results meet the requirements of the drawing and recharging water in the water source heat pump engineering and are able to avoid the heat transfixion among users. The effect of drawing and recharging water in the water source heat pump engineering to the changes of the groundwater’s temperature field can be analyzed quantitatively through establishing the proper numerical simulation which provides a reference to scientifically design the layout of pumps for drawing and recharging water.
