Based on the analyses, the method for determining partial action / load factors and partial resistance factors of breast walls is expounded, and the design expressions with partial factors are given. The values of partial action / load factors and partial resistance factors are recommended preliminarily according to the computation for breast walls with typical cross-sections.展开更多

Results show that the resistance partial factor of the joint increases with the increase of the reliability index. The resis- tance partial factors are suggested corresponding to the reliability index under different load combinations. Moreover, the suggested resistance partial factor is adopted in reliability design, and it is found that the reliability index of the joint is larger than the target reliability index. The optimal load combination is the one in which live load plays an im- portant control role. Finally, based on the suggested resistance partial factors, the reliability analysis of cast bail-and- socket support ioints of a proiect is conducted.展开更多

One way to reduce the costs is reliability-based calibration of the partial factors to a reasonable safety level taking into account the specific design situations and uncertainties relevant to railway embankments. A reliability-based design has been investigated, resulting in an optimal partial factor for the considered subsoil. With a stochastic soil model to simulate the undrained shear strength of soft soil deposits, the partial factor is calibrated using asymptotic sampling for the reliability assessment. The calibration shows that the partial factor can be reduced significantly compared to the value specified in the Danish National Annex to DS/EN 1997-1 (2007), Eurocode 7.展开更多

How to calculate the subsidence caused by the partial mining is the key to use this method. By using the numerical calculation method, the main factors affecting the subsidence caused by the partial mining were analyzed, which include the recovery ratio of the partial mining, the width of the mined strip, the thickness and the depth of the mined seam, the conditions of the overburden. The relationship between the partial mining subsidence and the main factors was given according to the calculated results, which provides a theory basis for design and application of the partial mining.展开更多

In the following experiments, the partial purification of LA I-615 has been carried out in addition to the observation of phenotype variations of L7811 leuke-mic cells. The factor was purified over 1306-fold by sequential fractionation with Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromato-graphy, and Mono Q-fast protein liquid chromato-graphy. The molecular weight of LAI-615 was 68,000 as estimated by gel filtration. LAI-615 was a protein but not glycosylated, and it was suggested LAI-615 be secreted in an autocrine manner. Im-munocytochemical staining showed that the expression of Lyt2 phenotype of L7811 leukemic cells was often coincident with the secretion of LAI-615. Moreover, the physicochemical characteristics of LAI-615 was similar to that of T suppressor factor. Thus it is concluded that LAI-615 may be one of TsF-like factors.展开更多
