Smooth Blasting

In the past, the main method of tunnel excavation in China was drilling and blasting, but the biggest shortcoming of the traditional drilling and blasting method is that it is easy to cause serious overexcavation and underexcavation. At the same time, the operation cycle time of this method is long, which leads to a serious waste of resources. Not only that, a large number of toxic gases and dust produced after blasting also do harm to the health of construction workers. So this is an urgent need for a new construction technology to solve this worldwide problem. In this situation, the leading experts in the field of tunnel, "The survey and design master of China" Shi Yuxin, Liu Pei, and well known expert in explosion field, yan-sheng ding, professor Chen Chengguang and Gu Yicheng, the experts group, cooperate with The Fifth Branch of China Railway 18th Bureau in northwest project management department, developed a new technology.

Purpose. The urbanization development in the twenty-first century is characterized by increasing the share of multifunctional infrastructure complexes among the total volume of new and renovated construction. Projects with a developed stylobate part are characterized by significant demand, as well as placing parking lots in the space of underground floors. Such solutions make it possible to effectively use the underground space while minimizing the filling of 1–5 floors. The latter requirement is typical for the construction of historic centers, where urban restrictions regulate the maximum height of the building. The research is aimed at increasing the efficiency of works provided they are combined during the arrangement of underground phase of multifunctional complexes, which are built in the historic part of cities, in a densely built-up area and extremely limited space. Methodology. The authors reviewed the world experience in the installation of multifunctional complexes and introduced best practices in organizational and technological solutions during the development of design and technological documentation for the arrangement of underground phase of the object «New construction of a multifunctional complex with parking at 25 Volodymyra Vernadskoho Street, Dnipro.» The main construction processes of the underground phase arrangement in difficult conditions of compacted construction are considered and the critical elements during their design are determined. The technological sequence of performing related works by various contractors has been improved in order to create a time reserve and increase the reliability of the entire technological process. Findings. Organizational and technological solutions have been identified that allow combining construction and installation processes of underground phase of multifunctional complexes with a significant number of subcontractors under conditions of compacted construction, as well as under complex hydrogeological conditions or during construction in the historic buildings of the central part of cities. Originality. The authors for the first time conducted research in the field of underground phase arrangement given the location of construction equipment in the limited space of the construction site in the historic part of Dnipro and proposed a number of solutions to increase the reliability of the main construction process. Practical value. Based on the results obtained, one can correct the location of construction equipment and determine the rational sequence of construction and installation works, as well as predict the further development of construction technology. These studies can be useful during the study of disciplines «Technology of Construction Production», «Technology of special works», for the organization of scientific and practical seminars, refresher courses and more.

Load Weight

We have designed a controller based on gain-scheduling feedback to move a load from point to point within one oscillation cycle and without inducing large swings. The settling time of the system is taken to be equal to the period of oscillation of the load. This criterion enables us to calculate the controller feedback gains for varying load weight and cable length. First, we designed the controller for gantry cranes and then extended it to tower cranes by considering the coupling between the translational and rotational motions. Numerical simulations show that the controller is effective for reducing load oscillations and transferring the load in a reasonable time compared with that of optimal control. To experimentally validate the theory, we had to compensate for friction. To this end, we estimated the friction, then applied an opposite control action to cancel it. To estimate the friction force, we assumed a mathematical model, then we estimated the model coefficients using an off-line identification technique, the least-squares method. First, the process of identification was applied to a theoretical model of a dc motor with known friction coefficients. From this example, some guidelines and rules were deduced for the choice of the least-squares parameters. Then, the friction coefficients of the gantry crane model were estimated and validated.

Abstract Knowledge of vibrations and controls has increased significantly by utilizing emerging computer capabilities. Engineering education should embrace this technology through computer simulations that predict and display the dynamic response of interesting systems. For example, manipulating payloads with an overhead gantry crane can be challenging due to the oscillations induced by the crane motion. The problem gets increasingly difficult when the work environment is cluttered with obstacles. This paper describes a simple input shaping solution to the vibration problem and shows how this problem and concept were integrated into the curriculum of an undergraduate system dynamics and controls course at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Furthermore, an educational tool is used to gather data on how crane operators attempt to navigate around obstacles. The results show that input shaping reduces the likelihood of collisions between the payload and obstacles, while at the same time allowing operators to be more aggressive in selecting navigation paths.

In order to improve the transshipment efficiency of transit containers in the port or the port-type railway network container freight station (PRNCS) with the condition that each transit container matches a railway flat-car, this paper studied the optimization of operation path of the rail mounted gantry crane (RMG) in the loading and unloading track for containers transshipped directly from highway to railway. Based on the basic model of TSP, the paper constructed the optimization model for the operation path of RMG, and designed the Ant Colony Algorithm (ACA) to solve it, and then obtained the operation scheme of RMG having the highest efficiency. Finally, the validity and correctness of the model and algorithm were verified by a case.

Design And Construction

As a typical granular bulk medium, problems are common in boulder-cobble mixed grounds, such as easy collapse and instability and difficult effective support for large-section tunnel excavation. Tunnels constructed in BCM grounds are rare still, and there is a big gap between the design and construction of tunnels. Based on the Nianggaicun highway tunnel crossing the BCM grounds, the construction technology of tunnel in BCM grounds is studied by means of literature investigation and field survey. Here are the main conclusions: the overall deformation of surrounding rock is quite small; the pressure distribution of surrounding rock is small and loose pressure is dominant, and the safety reserve of secondary lining is large. The deformation process of surrounding rock concentrates on the construction stage. During the construction process, there are many problems, such as serious overexcavation, difficulty of bolt penetration, and continuous rock fall. In this paper, a three-bench complementary cyclic excavation method is proposed, which replaces the original CD and CRD methods. Meanwhile, the supporting system is optimized. The results show that the disturbance of surrounding rock is reduced, while the safety of construction process and the reliability of structure are increased. The new excavation method and optimized supporting system are expected to fill the gap between design and construction of tunnel in BCM grounds and provide reference for construction of such tunnels in the future.

Due to the complexity, high-risk, and conservative character of construction companies, advanced digital technologies do not become widely adopted in the short term, while vendors make determined efforts to overcome this and disseminate their technologies. This paper presents the methods of an investigation addressing the extremely complex issues related to the current practices of digital technology adoption in construction. It discusses how construction companies follow a specific logical process linked to need, project objectives, characteristics of the adopting organization, and the characteristics of the new technology to be adopted. The study aims to demonstrate a novel method of data collection and analysis including data and methodological triangulation techniques including the use of NVivo and AHP to explore how companies make the decision to uptake a new technology (e.g. advanced crane, tunnel boring machine or drones) by focusing on customer and vendor activities, their interactions, contributing factors, and people involved in the process. The major original contribution of this paper is to develop an innovative methodological Cube for investigating the Construction Technology Adoption Process (CTAP) covering technology adoption, acceptance, diffusion and implementation concepts. CTAP is a framework that delineates the phases of the process that customer organizations use when deciding to adopt a new digital technology and the parallel vendor activities. The significance of these contributions is that they enable vendors to understand how to match their strategies with customer expectations in each phase of the CTAP. It also provides a benchmark for new construction companies to use the current best practice of decision making. Future research is warranted to more clearly delineate any differences with developing nations or related industries such as mining and property management.
