Four pipes were manufactured by filament winding with winding angles of [±45/ ±45/ ±45], [±55/ ±55/ ±55], [±63/ ±63/ ±63], and [±63/ ±45/ ±55]. Each pipe has internal diameter of 110 mm, wall-thickness of 3.8 mm, and length of 450 mm. The pipes were exposed to internal pressure to determine their capacities. Under internal pressure, the maximum failure pressure recorded (60 bar) was that for the pipes with [±55]3 winding angles.

To achieve these objectives a parametric study was conducted designing a set of bridges for three different soil types and varying the number of spans, span lengths, and pier heights. The seismic responses (accelerations, displacements and pier seismic forces) were evaluated for three different structural models. The first represented bridges without base isolation; the second corresponded to the same bridges including now rubber bearings with linear elastic behavior that shifted the natural period of the bridge by a factor of 2 to 4. In the third model the seismic response of the base isolated bridges was studied accounting for the nonlinear behavior of the pads. The results show clearly the importance of the nonlinear behavior on the seismic performance of the bridges.","PeriodicalId":364849,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Conference on Advances in Civil, Structural and Mechanical Engineering - CSM 2018","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125088543","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 results of three models showed that temperature variation is expected to range from 1.5-2.35 C during 2025-2049, 3.23-4.48 C during 2050-2074, and 4.49-6.57 C during 2071-2095.

Although many domestic and foreign scholars from the field of geotechnical engineering have conducted theoretical researches on the deformation thereof at the present time, engineering formulas and empirical statistics cannot be solely applied to complex fractured bedrock with discontinuous deformation, as complex calculation and thoughtlessness can result in an error in model adaptability and calculation applications. Thanks to the development of Plaxis 3D, a finite element method (FEM) program, we are able to simulate complicated deformation issues in a non-linear model and to analyze the stress and strain thereof. By taking the “CM01 Construction Contract Project of Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System extended to Zongli Train Station” as an example, this study simulates the ground surface settlement deformation induced by shield tunneling and compares the longitudinal and vertical deformation curves thereof with the results of on-site monitoring equipment. The HOEK-BROWN model is also adopted to provide more precise results than the traditional Mohr-Coulomb model. In the simulation of shield tunneling, it is a must to take the shield tail grouting, shield jack thrust force and cutter head pressure into consideration by having a rather stable longitudinal settlement curve. This helps to explore ideal simulations of bedrock tunneling, to which other projects with similar conditions can be referred.

However, waste heat from the engine is sometimes not enough to provide required heat to the vehicle heating system especially in cold countries.

When the coolant temperature is too low, then its temperature increased by burning fuel on the fuel burner heater and heated coolant is then pump to heat exchangers, located inside the passenger compartment, so that heating comfort is achieved. However, this proses both consumes extra fuel as well as increases exhaust emissions left to the atmosphere. On the other hand, when full electric vehicles are considered, which are increasing their shares in the market at every other day, because there is no internal combustion engine, there is no main heat source also. Hence, required heat has to be provided form the vehicle main batteries or from any other energy sources like ethanol or diesel.

The equation establishes the relationship between dilatation, normal pressure and granular temperature. The granular temperature is defined as the sum of three elementary types of kinetic energy of particles in the course of its mutual displacements: relative shear movement, chaotic fluctuation and transversal mass transfer. The investigation was carried out by means of the earlier developed experimental and analytical method presupposing the distribution analysis of particles, falling from the discharge threshold of a rough chute. The profiles of velocity and fraction of the void volume have been determined in rapid gravity flows of modeling materials at simultaneous identification of the interrelationship coefficient of the granular medium state equation. The granular materials consisting of uniform spherical particles differing dominantly in roughness were used as model materials. It was found out the coefficient is equal to 10.3 for a wide range of the chute angle and the flow depth of smooth particles. The analogous coefficient value is observed for rough particles when the high chute angle or small bed depth take place only. However, the coefficient value increases more than four times for rough particles at high values of the bed depth and the chute angle close to the angle of repose of the material. This phenomenon is explained hypothetically by the effect of particle rotation.","PeriodicalId":364849,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Conference on Advances in Civil, Structural and Mechanical Engineering - CSM 2018","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121791745","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}
