BELENE nuclear power plant numerical and experimental bedrock,layers and surface signals

An investigation of BELENE Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) free field signal is presented in the current study. An SH wave propagation trough multilayer geological media in the region is considered. An original structural model of the geological column has been developed. The investigated layers are isotropic, with constant depth and skyline parallel. The SH rays are with an arbitrary angle as far as the layers are concerned. The seismic SH waves have been generated by a special detonation device. The main results of the study are graphically illustrated. A comparison between the original BELENE NPP experimental and the numerical surface (free field) signals (obtained by the formulated direct problem) for the investigated geological column has been carried out and its results are hereby shown.     

田字形地震超材料甚低频宽带隙机理

在地球中传播的地震波主要有体波和表面波,而表面波中Rayleigh波对建筑物造成的破坏最为强烈。针对Rayleigh波的振动控制,提出一种田字形超材料结构。相比于传统的地震超材料,这种超材料屏障是由外部口字形框体内部嵌套十字形柱体组成,形成4个可填充区域,其外部框体采用部分埋入的方式,具有高强度、强稳定性、填充方式灵活的特点。应用有限元法计算了田字形超材料的能带结构和传输特性,并通过分析带隙边界处模态振型可知,带隙的打开是由于柱体的局域共振。结合带隙机理可知,柱体结构中土壤填充量不同可改变柱体的质量,形成不同的谐振频率,产生甚低频带隙。为进一步拓宽带隙,设计研究了正、负梯度的质量填充方式,均可得到3.3~13.1 Hz甚低频宽带隙,在谐振频率范围内两者的隔震方式分别为Rayleigh波彩虹捕获和Rayleigh波到体波的转化。最后,采用EI-Centro地震波对填充屏障进行了时程验证,加速度最大幅值衰减超过80%,为地震超材料在减震隔震方面应用提供了新的设计思路和方法。     

基于三线性分灾模型的结构多目标抗震优化设计

基于分灾抗震设计概念,发展了基于三线性分灾模型的结构多目标优化设计方法。以防屈曲支撑为分灾构件的框架结构为例,针对分灾构件设计参数,采用多目标遗传算法进行分灾结构多目标优化设计。最终得到了分灾框架结构分灾构件用量和层间位移角等重要特性的多目标优化关系,并进行了相关讨论。结果表明,结构多目标分灾优化模型可以综合考虑结构造价和抗震性能等,并可以根据目标偏好有效地满足设计需求;分灾构件对抗震性能的作用随着震级增大而增强,使用分灾构件的结构能够更好地抵御强震的作用。     

虚拟震源测深法及其在INDEPTH-3台阵中的应用

基于中美合作项目INDEPTH第3期在青藏高原布设的台站,使用虚拟震源测深法研究青藏高原中部的地壳厚度。结果显示,拉萨地体和羌塘地体的地壳结构存在巨大差异。拉萨地体的地壳厚度大约为57 km,与艾里均衡说预测的地壳厚度基本一致,说明拉萨地体的地壳结构比较简单。羌塘地体的地壳厚度为60~75 km,向北有增厚趋势,明显较艾里均衡说预测的地壳厚,说明羌塘地体地壳结构比较复杂,原因有可能是羌塘地体下存在高温流体和低速带,或者与印度板块岩石圈在班公湖-怒江缝合带以北向下俯冲有关。

基于冗余度与易损性的结构抗震能力提升方法研究

为提升结构整体性能和抗震性能,基于结构构件应变能对材料弹性模量的敏感性及其失效后结构的应变能变化量,建立了结构易损性与冗余度评价指标,以衡量在地震作用下构件发生破坏的容易程度及其失效后对结构整体性能的影响.考虑地震作用下结构构件冗余度及易损性差异,通过加强低冗余-高易损构件,同时削弱高冗余-低易损构件,合理调整各类构件截面面积.结果 表明,构件的冗余度和易损性可以准确反映地震作用下结构构件的重要性及发生破坏的容易程度,考虑构件冗余度及易损性差异,调整结构构件面积,可有效提升结构的整体性能及抗震性能.

CALCULATION METHODS ON CRACK RESISTANCE CAPACITY OF CONNECTION COMPOSED OF CSSEUHSC COLUMNS AND SEC BEAMS

In order to investigate the calculation methods on crack resistance capacity of connection composed of cross shaped steel encased ultra high strength concrete (CSSEUHSC) columns and steel encased concrete (SEC) beams under cycle loads, six interior connection specimens were tested in the laboratory. A discussion on the crack resistance capacity was presented. Calculation methods of crack resistance capacity were deduced based on the experimental case and calculation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The research results indicated that parameters of connection composed of CSSEUHSC columns and SEC beams with better crack resistance performance may be referred for engineering application.     

Design equations for the assessment and FRP-strengthening of reinforced rectangular concrete columns under combined biaxial bending and axial loads

A simple procedure is proposed for the assessment of reinforced rectangular concrete columns under combined biaxial bending and axial loads and for the design of a correct amount of FRP-strengthening for underdesigned concrete sections. Approximate closed-form equations are developed based on the load contour method originally proposed by Bresler for reinforced concrete sections. The 3D failure surface is approximated along its contours, at a constant axial load, by means of equations given as the sum of the acting/resisting moment ratio in the directions of principal axes of the sections, raised to a power depending on the axial load, the steel reinforcement ratio, and the section shape. The method is extended to FRP-strengthened sections. Moreover, to make it possible to apply the load contour method in a more practical way, simple closed-form equations are developed for rectangular reinforced concrete sections with a two-way steel reinforcement and FRP strengthenings on each side. A comparison between the approach proposed and the fiber method (which is considered exact) shows that the simplified equations correctly represent the section interaction diagram.
