Explosion resistance performance of reinforced concrete box girder coated with polyurea:Model test and numerical simulation

To study the anti-explosion protection effect of polyurea coating on reinforced concrete box girder,two segmental girder specimens were made at a scale of 1:3,numbered as G(without polyurea coating)and PCG(with polyurea coating).The failure characteristics and dynamic responses of the specimens were compared through conducting explosion tests.The reliability of the numerical simulation using LS-DYNA software was verified by the test results.The effects of different scaled distances,reinforcement ratios,concrete strengths,coating thicknesses and ranges of polyurea were studied.The results show that the polyurea coating can effectively enhance the anti-explosion performance of the girder.The top plate of middle chamber in specimen G forms an elliptical penetrating hole,while that in specimen PCG only shows a very slight local dent.The peak vertical displacement and residual displacement of PCG decrease by 74.8% and 73.7%,respectively,compared with those of specimen G.For the TNT explosion with small equivalent,the polyurea coating has a more significant protective effect on reducing the size of fracture.With the increase of TNT equivalent,the protective effect of polyurea on reducing girder displacement becomes more significant.The optimal reinforcement ratio,concrete strength,thickness and range of polyurea coating were also drawn.

Fatigue Crack Propagation Law of Corroded Steel Box Girders in Long Span Bridges

In order to investigate the fatigue performance of orthotropic anisotropic steel bridge decks,this study realizes the simulation of the welding process through elastic-plastic finite element theory,thermal-structural sequential coupling,and the birth-death element method.The simulated welding residual stresses are introduced into the multiscale finite element model of the bridge as the initial stress.Furthermore,the study explores the impact of residual stress on crack propagation in the fatigue-vulnerable components of the corroded steel box girder.The results indicate that fatigue cracks at the weld toe of the top deck,the weld root of the top deck,and the opening of the transverse diaphragm will not propagate under the action of a standard vehicle load.However,the inclusion of residual stress leads to the propagation of these cracks.When considering residual stress,the fatigue crack propagation paths at the weld toe of the transverse diaphragm and the U-rib weld toe align with those observed in actual bridges.In the absence of residual stress,the cracks at the toe of the transverse diaphragm with a 15%mass loss rate are categorized as type I cracks.Conversely,when residual stress is considered,these cracks become I-II composite cracks.Residual stress significantly alters the cumulative energy release rate of the three fracturemodes.Therefore,incorporating the influence of residual stress is essential when assessing the fatigue performance of corroded steel box girders in long-span bridges.

Sagging damage characteristics of hull girder with trapezoidal cross-section subjected to near-field underwater explosion

To investigate the overall damage characteristics and failure modes of a warship subjected to an underwater non-contact near-field explosion,a hull girder with a trapezoidal cross-section was designed,manufactured,and tested.The design criteria and parameters were determined according to the similarity criterion.Dynamic responses of the girder freely floating on water were obtained under varying conditions,including stand-off distance,charge mass,and position of attack.Damage morphologies of the girder model were obtained.Based on our analysis,basic conditions for sagging damage of the hull girder are proposed.The aim of this study was to determine an efficient method of attack resulting in the most severe damage to the ship hull.The experimental results show that the girder mainly exhibits a first-order response when the first wet frequency of the girder is close to the frequency of the explosion bubble pulsation.The largest deformation was observed when the underwater explosion occurred directly below the midspan of the girder compared to other explosions of the same intensity at different attack positions.When the ratio of stand-off to maximum bubble radius(λ)satisfies 0.7≤λ<2,the bubble mainly causes sagging damage instead of hogging.Asλdecreases(1≤λ<2),the sagging damage increases under the same charge mass.However,asλdecreases further(0.7≤λ<1),the sagging deformation decreases.This is likely due to the impact of the liquid jet formed by the collapsing bubble,which causes the girder deformation to shift from sagging back to hogging deformation.The initial shock wave excites the high-frequency response of the girder structure but contributes very little to the overall velocity and displacement.However,bubble pulsation typically causes a low-frequency response,which will affect the velocity and displacement of the girder.The low-pressure region of the flow field formed by bubble pulsation and resonant coupling between the girder and the bubble are the predominant causes of damage to the overall girder structure.

A review on evaluation of crack resistance of asphalt mixture by semi-circular bending test

Although there are many kinds of fracture tests to choose from in evaluating the crack resistance of asphalt mixture,the semi-circular bending(SCB)test has attracted a lot of attention in the academic road engineering community because of its simplicity,stability,and flexibility in testing and evaluation.The SCB test has become a common method to study the cracking resistance of asphalt mixture in recent years.This paper mainly summarizes the overview of the SCB test,summarizes some research results and common characterization parameters of the SCB test method in monotone test and fatigue test in recent years,and predicts and suggests the research direction of the SCB test in the future.It is found that the research on the monotonic SCB test is more comprehensive,and the research on the SCB fatigue test needs to be further improved in the aspects of loading mode,characterization parameter selection,and so on.Researchers can flexibly adjust the geometric dimensions and the test parameters of semi-cylindrical specimens,and conduct comprehensive analysis combined with the results of numerical simulation.The crack resistance of asphalt mixture can be comprehensively evaluated by fracture energy,fracture toughness,stiffness,flexibility index and other fracture indicators,combined with the crack propagation of the specimen.The analysis of numerical simulation can confirm the test results.In order to standardize the setting of fatigue parameters for future application,it is necessary to standardize the setting of bending performance.

大跨斜拉桥双层桁架主梁施工状态的阻力系数

针对规范中对大跨径桁架桥的双层主梁阻力系数在取值上的局限,提出一种主梁阻力系数计算方法,以施工阶段节段模型的风洞试验结果为基础,对双层桁架主梁进行模型简化后,使用CFD计算得出其三分力系数.采用不同迎风面特征尺寸,桁架片数以及桁架间距,分析了迎风面特征尺寸对主梁的阻力系数的影响.讨论了桁架间距以及片数不同对主梁的阻力系数的影响趋势.结果表明:迎风面特征高度与特征宽度对主梁阻力系数影响的变化规律并不相同,对此提出以桁架纵高比为变量的双层桁架桥梁主梁的阻力系数拟合公式;当桁架间距较小时,桁架片数对主梁阻力系数无影响,但当桁架间距与桁架高度比值达到3时,桁架片数的变化会对主梁的阻力系数产生较大的影响.

大跨度公铁双层斜拉桥主梁涡激共振机理与控制

以拟建的某主跨808 m公铁双层斜拉桥为工程依托,采用节段模型风洞试验研究不同攻角下双层桁架梁断面的涡振性能及5种气动控制措施的抑振效果,结合计算流体动力学(CFD)静态绕流模拟,对比分析双层桁架梁断面的涡振机理及控制方法.研究表明:主梁断面原设计方案在+3°和0°风攻角下存在明显的竖向和扭转涡振现象,且振幅超过规范允许值;间隔封闭上层桥面栏杆或增设抑流板可有效抑制主梁扭转涡振,但竖向涡振振幅仍不满足规范要求;上弦杆外侧增设风嘴可有效抑制主梁竖向和扭转涡振,而下弦杆外侧增设风嘴对主梁涡振抑振效果有限.气流经主梁原设计断面上层桥面分离后,在其上下表面形成周期性脱落的大尺度旋涡,并在上层桥面后部再附,这是主梁发生竖向涡振的主要诱因;上弦杆外侧增设风嘴可引导气流平稳通过上层桥面,消除了周期性的旋涡脱落,并在其上表面形成一段狭长“回流区”,从而有效抑制了涡振的发生.

为了揭示箱梁约束扭转和畸变之间的耦联关系,研究约束扭转对箱梁畸变效应的影响,根据约束扭转二次剪力流形成的畸变荷载,建立了考虑约束扭转的箱梁畸变控制微分方程.基于乌曼斯基第二理论,提出约束扭转剪力流是基于约束扭转引起的畸变效应修正后的总扭矩布雷特剪力流,并通过Ansys有限元模型和能量法计算结果对理论公式进行了验证.数值算例结果表明:2种不同约束扭转剪力流分解方法计算所得结果完全一致;不同计算点处的约束扭转剪应力与Ansys有限元法计算结果吻合良好;扭转畸变翘曲总正应力、畸变翘曲正应力均与按能量法计算所得结果吻合良好,误差不超过10%.计入约束扭转二次剪应力的影响能够更准确地计算箱梁畸变效应.

大吨位箱梁曲线段梁上运梁承压箱梁受力分析

研究目的:杭甬高速复线宁波段一期工程S1标段采用大吨位预应力混凝土箱梁(50 m/1650 t),使用YL1800型运梁车采用单车跨双幅梁上运梁方案,为研究大吨位箱梁在小半径曲线段(R=1800 m)进行梁上运梁时下部承压箱梁的受力性能,验证运梁方案的可行性,对下部承压箱梁进行了测试与分析。研究结论:(1)大吨位箱梁在梁上运梁过程中,承压箱梁跨中截面顶板、底板沿纵向均处于受压状态,顶板沿横向处于受压状态,箱梁的受力满足规范要求;(2)随着运梁车偏载距离的增大,承压箱梁的应力和跨中挠度逐渐增大,运梁车向低侧偏载时对箱梁应力和跨中挠度影响较大,建议在梁上运梁时运梁车向高低两侧偏载不应超过1000 mm;(3)本研究成果可为大吨位箱梁梁上运梁施工提供参考。

基于翼板横向位移模式的箱梁剪力滞效应分析

以剪翘变形状态为分析对象,综合运用广义坐标法、剪翘变形协调条件和平衡微分方程,提出箱梁的翼板横向位移模式。基于最小势能驻值原理,推导考虑翼板横向位移影响的箱梁剪力滞解析解。引入翼板横向位移对剪力滞影响的差值比参数,详细分析截面参数及梁端约束条件对剪力滞差值比的影响。算例分析表明:翼板横向位移对剪力滞有一定的削弱作用,考虑横向位移的纵向应力与有限元解、实测值吻合更好;跨宽比、高宽比越大,剪力滞差值比越小;悬臂板宽度越大,剪力滞系数差值比越小;梁端约束条件越强,剪力滞差值比分布曲线越陡峭,约束条件较强时需考虑横向位移的影响。
