2013, 43(8): 1-9. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201308001
Abstract:
In order to develop the design theory based on performance, from structure performance concept, performance approach, the basic requirement of performance design, the performance system model of structural whole life-cycle performance design was set up.In this paper load action levels were reflected through load value criteria of different design service life, and the determination method of variable load value criteria was given;The performance levels of structure were divided into three aspects, and the durability of structure was divided into three levels.It was proposed that three level performance indexes(criteria) are taken as control indexes(criteria)of structure performance.It was suggested that while durability levels are one, two and three levels, the risk-based performance indexes should be 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 respectively.It was proposed that the harmful medium diffusion depth, steel rust corrosion rate and rust expansion crack width index are taken as the control indexes of structural durability design.

Qi Fengbo, Yao Jitao
2013, 43(8): 10-14. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201308002
Abstract:
General design formula in seismic combination can be obtained by associating combination of actions based on stochastic processes with design value method.It aims at improving flexibility of design.Due to the large variability of seismic action, the sensitivity factors recommended by international standard are not suitable.If the variability of variables changed greatly, in order to improve the control precision of reliability, standardized sensitivity factor values must be re-valued.Enumeration optimization method is lack of purpose.A function that can give a qualitative optimization direction is proposed.It can give the contribution to the difference between calculated and target value of reliability index caused by the sensitivity factor value of each variable.The function can be used in choosing initial value process and optimizing process, overall optimal result can be obtained under all proportion pairs.The standardized sensitivity factors are used for different design working life and different target reliability index, the errors show that optimization link can use 50-year design working life and a suitable target reliability index.

2013, 43(8): 15-18. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201308003
Abstract:
A few damage evaluation indicators based on modal flexibility matrix.These indicators, such as the change in modal flexibility, the rate in modal flexibility and the change in the modal flexibility curvature, were valid to some extent.However, these indicators need the flexibility matrix before and after damaging, were restricted to some extent in practical projects.In this paper, a new damage indicator was proposed based on damage flexibility curvature, which does not need the structure information before damaging.Two simulations, a simple beam and a two-span continuous beam, are utilized to verify the new indicator.Through the simulation results indicate that the damage location in structures, with single damage, multiple ones and slighter ones, can be detected efficiently.The value of the indicator is increased with the damage severity, the damage severity can be qualitatively detected.Anti-noise performance of the new damage indicator is better.

Wang Yilin
2013, 43(8): 19-23. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201308004
Abstract:
Most existing damage detection methods based on curvature should investigate the indicator value changes between the intact and damaged state.However, the 'footprint' in the intact state is usually not available for most actual beams.Therefore, a new damage localization indicator called difference of nearby difference curvature indicator(DNDCI) was introduced for single-span beams.This indicator does not require prior information of the intact beam and is sensitive to the damage occurs at or nearby the measuring points.Practical application method of DNDCI was proposed.Three methods for improving robustness were also proposed.Besides the idealized simply supported beams, it was validated by example that DNDCI is also applicable to the single-span beams supported by bearings.

Abstract:
According to the pull out test, this paper analyzed the influence factors which include the recycled aggregate replacement ratio, type of the rebar and strength grade of recycled concrete on ultimate bond strength and gave the formula to calculate the ultimate bond strength.Analysis shows that the calculated values agree well with the experimental results.The different research results for the influence of the recycled aggregate replacement ratio on the ultimate bond strength were analyzed comparatively, and the analysis shows that the recycled aggregate replacement ratio cannot be used as the only influence factor to analyze the influence on bond performance of the recycled aggregate and also need to consider the material performance of the recycled aggregate and the coupling effects between the recycled aggregate and the coarse aggregate.The increasing coefficient of ultimate bond strength was defined, and analysis shows that influence level of the rebar type is greatest, followed by diameter of the rebar, the influence level of the strength grade is least, and the ultimate bond strength of ordinary concrete is generally slightly larger than the recycled concrete when the recycled aggregate replacement rate is 100%.Finally, the suggested method which can determine the anchorage length was proposed.

2013, 43(8): 79-82,89. doi: 10.13204/j.gyjz201308017
Abstract:
A model consisting of a system of nonlinear differential equations, named block model, was constructed to study the local curvature between two adjacent cracks.Utilizing this model, the deflections at the midspan in 10 RC beams bonded with external CFRP were simulated when the distance between two consecutive cracks was the maximum crack spacing 2Lb and minimum crack spacing Lb, which could be obtained from cracking analysis based on bond stress and slip.Comparisons between the simulated midspan deflection and that of experiment indicate that the proposed nonlinear model is able to predict the deformability behavior of RC beams strengthened with external CFRP sheets.Furthermore, the results indicate that the crack distribution has little influence on deflection of beam, so the traditional approach called moment-average curvature is reasonable to calculate the deflection of beam in practice.

Abstract:
The cumulated axial strain and vibration number curves were obtained through a series of dynamic triaxial tests under different dynamic stress amplitudes, confining pressures and moisture contents.The dynamic strain of link structural potential parameter(mN1), dynamic strain of friction structural potential parameter(mN2), total dynamic strain structural potential parameter(mN) were defined according to the soil structural research results and theories.The relationships among the structural parameters and tests conditions were discussed when the structural strength of aeolian soil's was destroyed.The research results showed that mN1 decreased with vibration numbers increasing, but the mN2 and mN would increased with the vibration numbers increasing.All kinds of structural parameters changed rapidly when vibration numbers were few, which showed that structural damages of aeolian soil were severe at primary vibration step.The larger dynamic stress amplitudes and moisture contents were, the larger the link stable structural dynamic strain potential parameter mfN1, the friction stable structural dynamic strain potential parameter mfN2were, and the total stable dynamic strain structural potential parameter mfN but opposite to confining pressures.The new method to determine the dynamic strength of aeolian soil was established based on the relationship between the total dynamic strain structural potential parameters and vibration numbers.

Abstract:
High-formwork supports' collapse always occur during the construction process.Through the field investigation and measurement of the supports for 15 m high-formwork, the erection parameters of high-formwork supports were obtained.It was found that there was a larger randomness during the erection of high-formwork supports, to implement full process management for the structure erection, and ensure the consistency of actual erection parameters and special construction scheme.The results show that the stress value of the pole is less than the pre-analysis pole stress, thus reflecting that the load combination proposed by Technical Code for Safety of Coupler Stell Tube Falsework in Construction of Buildings(JGJ 130-2011) is too conservative.the stress of the bottom is greater than the top on the same pole, which proved there is some regulation in horizontal bar and vertical double bridging.The pole stress associated with the height of the frame body, the higher the height of the formwork support, the greater the difference between the bottom and the top of the stress.The results provide data for the design of formwork supports.
