Despite significant advancements in SHM technology for mega-bridges, monitoring these structures in highly complex environments still requires continuous improvement. For the Moon Bay Bridge, which exists in a particularly complex environment, two primary monitoring focuses have been identified: real-time GNSS monitoring for the high-intensity canyon suspension bridge and the impact of temperature variations on structural responses and sensor performance. The analysis focuses on structural responses such as the displacement at the top of the pylon, elevation changes, and anchor displacements to obtain comprehensive deformation information. The research results indicate that in the GNSS monitoring data, the displacement at the top of the pylon on the Yunnan side and the displacement of the upstream and downstream anchors on the Yunnan side were relatively stable, while the vertical elevation changes fluctuated significantly. This fluctuation is attributed to the settlement of the tunnel-anchored structure caused by the advance excavation of the tunnel, with minimal disturbance to the anchor plug from subsequent tunneling. Temperature has a minor impact on the horizontal and vertical angles at the beam ends but significantly affects the longitudinal displacement and bearing displacement at the beam ends. Temperature changes greatly influence the cable forces of the end suspender cables, while the impact on other suspender cables is minimal. To minimize the interference of complex environmental factors on monitoring results, enhance data accuracy and reliability, and ensure the stability and safety of the bridge, special attention must be given to the effect of temperature changes on the end suspender cables.</p>","PeriodicalId":100223,"journal":{"name":"ce/papers","volume":"8 2","pages":"1563-1579"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through compressive strength tests, splitting tensile strength tests, and scanning electron microscopy analysis, the study explores the effects of fiber parameters on the mechanical properties of the concrete and analyzes the underlying mechanisms. Results of the experimental study indicate that the mechanical properties of the C60 hybrid fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete are optimal when the steel fiber dosage is 40 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, the polypropylene fiber dosage is 1 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, and the length of the polypropylene fibers is 18 mm. Both types of fibers will reduce the compressive strength of the concrete but enhance its splitting tensile strength. Specifically, the compressive strength of the concrete de-creases gradually with the increase of steel fiber dosage. In contrast, the effect of polypropylene fiber dosage on compressive strength shows an initial increase followed by a decrease. The increase in the dosage of both fibers and the length of the polypropylene fibers enhances the splitting tensile strength of the concrete. Polypropylene fibers make the concrete more “flexible,” and steel fibers do not effectively restrain the lateral deformation of the concrete, leading to a reduction in compressive strength. However, combining both fibers with other admixtures forms a framework that transfers tensile stress, and delays crack propagation and concentration, thereby enhancing the ultimate tensile stress of the composite matrix.</p>","PeriodicalId":100223,"journal":{"name":"ce/papers","volume":"8 2","pages":"66-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pile diameter and bearing deformation characteristics of helical piles, hollow bar micropiles, and HSCM piles were compared and analyzed. The enhancement effect of the one-time pile construction process on the frictional resistance of HSCM piles was discussed. The load transfer mechanism of HSCM piles under different load levels during one-time pile construction was revealed.

When applied in marine soft clay, the bond diameter of HSCM piles could be conservatively estimated to equal the diameter of the helix plates.

This study investigated the construction process of complex prestressed steel structure on the basis of the west watchtower of Yingtian Gate site protection exhibition project. The upper structure of the west watchtower is supported by inclined columns. Under the action of structural dead weight and construction load, a large horizontal thrust is generated at the column foot. Prestressed foundation beams are installed between the pile caps to balance the horizontal component of the upper structure because of the limited horizontal bearing capacity of pile foundation. Construction monitoring of the west watchtower was conducted through numerical analysis to ensure that measured horizontal displacement of pile caps is small, and the pile is in a safe state.
