Technical Analysis of Safety Monitoring and Evaluation of Existing Bridge Structures

Bridge structure safety monitoring and assessment has been a great concern for the government and the public,and bridge structure safety monitoring and assessment technology has also developed rapidly over the years.Its goal is to equip relevant organizations and professionals with a deep understanding of the principles and practical applications of these technologies.By doing so,it seeks to facilitate the effective implementation of safety monitoring and assessment practices in bridge management.Ultimately,the aim is to foster the constructive development of road and bridge construction and operational management at a broader level.

Alignment between satellite and central galaxies in the EAGLE simulation:dependence on the large-scale environments

The alignment between satellite and central galaxies serves as a proxy for addressing the issue of galaxy formation and evolution, and has been investigated abundantly in observations and theoretical works.Most scenarios indicate that the satellites preferentially are located along the major axis of their central galaxy. Recent work shows that the strength of alignment signals depends on the large-scale environment in observations. We use the publicly-released data from EAGLE to figure out whether the same effect can be found in the associated hydrodynamic simulation. We found much stronger environmental dependency of alignment signals in the simulation. We also explore change of alignments to address the formation of this effect.

Mechanism of Degradation of Rice Starch Amylopectin by Oryzenin Using ONIOM Quantum Calculations [DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G(D, P): AM1]

Understanding the molecular factors of rice degradation during its aging concerns our research team. This article emphasizes oryzenin-amylopectin. It aims to reveal the mechanism of amylopectin deterioration during rice aging. The research exploits the Natural Bond Analysis and ONION method at theory level DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) and AM1. This methodological approach allows highlighting amylopectin transformation;oryzenin converts amylopectin into amyloidosis in continuous. This led to monosaccharides and disaccharides.

Some Invariant Solutions of Two-Dimensional Elastodynamics in Linear Homogeneous Isotropic Materials

Invariant solutions of two-dimensional elastodynamics in linear homogeneous isotropic materials are considered via the group theoreticalmethod.The second order partial differential equations of elastodynamics are reduced to ordinary differential equations under the infinitesimal operators.Three invariant solutions are constructed.Their graphical figures are presented and physical meanings are elucidated in some cases.

Advances in the origin of overpressures in sedimentary basins

Much progress in the studies on overpressuring mechanisms has been made during the past one to two decades.(1)The causes of overpressure are divided into five categories,namely,disequilibrium compaction,fluid expansion,diagenesis,tectonic compression and pressure transfer.The fluid expansion involves hydrocarbon generation,oil cracking to gas and hydrothermal expansion.The diagenesis includes smectite-to-illite transformation.(2)Six methods for identifying overpressure origin are proposed,including log curves combination analysis,Bowers method(loading-unloading diagram),velocitydensity crossplotting,correlation of porosities,pressure calculation and correlation,and comprehensive analyses.(3)With more and more application of empirical methods in the study of overpressure formation,almost all of the overpressure cases that are traditionally thought to be caused by disequilibrium compaction are denied totally or partly.Instead,the hydrocarbon generation is demonstrated to be the most significant mechanism for overpressure formation;the clay diagenesis(especially the smectiteillite transformation)as well as tectonic compression and pressure transfer are also important for overpressure formation.In addition,the overpressure formation in many basins is thought to be influenced by the combination of two or more overpressuring mechanisms.(4)Causes of overpressuring differ in lithology;for mudstones,the overpressure formation in source rocks is usually different from that of non-source rocks,the former of which is frequently related to hydrocarbon generation and sometimes also affected by diagenesis,while the later of which is commonly related to disequilibrium compaction,diagenesis and pressure transfer;for permeable rocks such as sandstones,overpressure is mainly caused by pressure transfer.(5)Because organic matter has an obvious influence on logging parameters such as density and acoustic velocity,an appropriate correction on the content of organic matter is needed when these logging data are used to analyze overpressure formation in organic-rich mudstones.It has been revealed that the cause of overpressuring based on the corrected log data can be quite different from that without correction.
