Test results show that the peak ground acceleration（PGA） responses of different columns are similar to each other. For an ordinary reinforced concrete（RC） column, the plastic strain of the steel bar develops rapidly after the PGA of the input ground motion reaches 100 cm / s^2, and the corresponding residual strain develops dramatically. For a SFCB column, even after the peak strain reaches 0. 015, the residual strain is below 5 × 10^- 4. For the hybrid column C-H,the residual strain of the FRP bar is similar to that of the SFCB column. In general, concrete columns with hybrid steel and FRP bar reinforcement can achieve smaller residual deformation, and the SFCB reinforced columns can be constructed in extreme environments, such as offshore bridges, due to good anti-corrosion performance.展开更多

In addition, a novel cold seeding concept of combining MgO crystal and buffer pellet was also introduced. The misorientation caused by the lattice mismatch between MgO and Gd123 melt was overcome by choosing suitable heat treatment program and Gd2BaCuO5 （Gd211） content of the buffer pellet. The doping effect of soft ferromagnetic NiFe alloy particles was also reported. The bulk sample with 0.4% （mole fraction） doping amount shows the best performance on the flux trapping. The critical current density is largely enhanced under the external field of 1-2 T, which is promising for large-scale applications. This effect is originated from the substitution of Fe and Ni ions for the Cu sites contributing to magnetic flux pinning.展开更多

The simulation results show that the proposed TS-EIA-PTS PAPR reduction algorithm can reduce the computational complexity by 18.47% in the condition of the original signal sequence partitioned into 4 sub-blocks at the remaining stage of n-d=5. Furthermore, it has almost the same PAPR reduction performance and the same bit error rate(BER) performance as the EIA-PTS algorithm, and with the increase of the subcarrier number, the computational complexity can be further reduced. As a result, the proposed TS-EIA-PTS PAPR reduction algorithm is more suitable for the practical O-OFDM systems.展开更多

Selective mapping(SLM) technology can effectively reduce the probability of high PAPR, but it has higher computational complexity, and requires additional bandwidth to transmit the side information, which will affect the transmission efficiency of the system. In response to these shortcomings, a novel improved SLM(NI-SLM) scheme with low complexity and without side information is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can exponentially reduce the computational complexity, and the bit error rate(BER) performance can greatly approach the original signal. What's more, it shows the better PAPR reduction performance.展开更多
