The amount of residual 14C in, or 14CO2 evolved from, the soils at intervals after the beginning of decomposition were measured and the distribution of native and labelled C between particle size fractions isolated from these soils was edtermined. Results showed that contents of both labelled (14C) and non-labelled (12C) carbon decreased with increasing particle size. The enrichment factor for 14C was higher than that for 12C in the clay fraction, the reverse being true for the silt enrichment factors. The effect of soil texture on the decomposition of plant material could not be observed in chao soils when the clay content was lower than 270g kg-1, while it became obvious once CaCO3 was removed from these soils. The decomposition rate of plant material in the soil from which the native CaCO3 was removed was correlated significantly to both the clay content of the soil and the application rate of CaCO3. A preliminary correction equation describing the effect of clay and CaCO3 on the decomposition of organic material in chao soil was derived from the results obtained.展开更多

The oxidation resistance of test alloys at 1 000 ℃ for 500 hours was examined according to oxidation weight gain method. The scale morphology and composition were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. By energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies, a kind of composite oxide scale compounded highly by Cr2O3, Al2O3 and spinel MCr2O4 in molecule scale came into being at high temperature. With flat and compact structure, fine and even grains, such composite scale granted complete oxidation resistance to alloy ZG40Cr24. The oxidation resistance mechanism was studied deeply in electrochemistry corrosion. The P+N semiconductor composite scale composed plenty of inner PN junctions, of which the unilateral conductive and the out-of-order arrangement endowed itself insulating in all directions. The positive and negative charges in scale could not move, and the mobile number and transferring rate of them both dropped enormously, as a result, the oxidation rate of the matrix metal was cut down greatly. So the composite scale presented excellent oxidation resistance.展开更多

The results indicate that. differences of thermal expansion coefficients of the coatings applied on the two sides of the bending sample can be analyzed by detecting the deflection behaviour of the sample, the growth stress in La2O3 added x-Al2O3 coating is reduced by some 350 kgf/ mm2 for 50 h isothermal oxidation at 900℃ . and the mechanism is that the grain size of scale is reduced due to addition of La2O3 and its plasticity is increased, the magnitude of thermal expansion coefficients of coatings influences the thermal stress developing during cooling. Stress in the scale on simple NiAl is relieved mainly in way of cracking and spalling of the scale at temperature 400 ̄ 600℃ ,but that on La2O3-added coating is relieved slightly due to good integrity and adherence of the scale.展开更多

This paper presents a procedure developed to model the Confederation Bridge using 3-D beam elements. The model was validated using the data collected before the opening of the bridge to the public. The bridge was instrumented to conduct fullscale static and dynamic tests. The static tests were to measure the deflection of the bridge pier while the dynamic tests to measure the free vibrations of the pier due to a sudden release of the static load. Confederation Bridge is one of the longest reinforced concrete bridges in the world. It connects the province of Prince Edward Island and the province of New Brunswick in Canada. Due to its strategic location and vital role as a transportation link between these two provinces, it was designed using higher safety factors than those for typical highway bridges. After validating the present numerical model, a procedure was developed to evaluate the performance of similar bridges subjected to traffic and seismic loads. It is of interest to note that the foundation stiffness and the modulus of elasticity of the concrete have significant effects on the structural responses of the Confederation Bridge.展开更多
