The bridge crack produced the reason to simply analyseIn recent years, the traffic capital construction of our province gets swift and violent development, all parts have built a large number of concrete bridges. In the course of building and using in the bridge, relevant to influence project quality lead of common occurrence report that bridge collapse even because the crack appears The concrete can be said to " often have illness coming on " while fracturing and " frequently-occurring disease ", often perplex bridge engineers and technicians. In fact , if take certain design and construction measure, a lot of cracks can be overcome and controlled. For strengthen understanding of concrete bridge crack further, is it prevent project from endanger larger crack to try one's best, this text make an more overall analysis , summary to concrete kind and reason of production , bridge of crack as much as possible, in order to design , construct and find out the feasible method which control the crack , get the result of taking precautions against Yu WeiRan.Concrete bridge crack kind, origin cause of formation In fact, the origin cause of formation of the concrete structure crack is complicated and various, even many kinds of factors influence each other , but every crack has its one or several kinds of main reasons produced . The kind of the concrete bridge crack, on its reason to produce, can roughly divide several kinds as follows :(1) load the crack caused Concrete in routine quiet .Is it load to move and crack that produce claim to load the crack under the times of stress bridge, summing up has direct stress cracks , two kinds stress crack onces mainly. Direct stress crack refer to outside load direct crack that stress produce that cause. The reason why the crack produces is as follows, 1, Design the stage of calculating , does not calculate or leaks and calculates partly while calculating in structure; Calculate the model is unreasonable; The structure is supposed and accorded with by strength actually by strength ; Load and calculate or leak and calculate few; Internal force and matching the mistake in computation of muscle; Safety coefficient of structure is not enough. Do not consider the possibility that construct at the time of the structural design; It is insufficientto design the section; It is simply little and assigning the mistake for reinforcing bar to set up; Structure rigidity is insufficient; Construct and deal with improperly; The design drawing can not be explained clearly etc.. 2, Construction stage, does not pile up and construct the machines , material limiting ; Is it prefabricate structure structure receive strength characteristic , stand up , is it hang , transport , install to get up at will to understand; Construct not according to the design drawing, alter the construction order of the structure without authorization , change the structure and receive the strength mode; Do not do the tired intensity checking computations under machine vibration and wait to the structure . 3, Using stage, the heavy-duty vehicle which goes beyond the design load passes the bridge; Receive the contact , striking of the vehicle , shipping; Strong wind , heavy snow , earthquake happen , explode etc.. Stress crack once means the stress of secondary caused by loading outside produces the crack. The reason why the crack produces is as follows, 1, In design outside load function , because actual working state and routine , structure of thing calculate have discrepancy or is it consider to calculate, thus cause stress once to cause the structure to fracture in some position. Two is it join bridge arch foot is it is it assign " X " shape reinforcing bar , cut down this place way , section of size design and cut with scissors at the same time to adopt often to design to cut with scissors, theory calculate place this can store curved square in , but reality should is it can resist curved still to cut with scissors, so that present the crack and cause the reinforcing bar corrosion. 2, Bridge structure is it dig trough , turn on hole , set up ox leg ,etc. to need often, difficult to use a accurate one diagrammatic to is it is it calculate to imitate to go on in calculating in routine, set up and receive the strength reinforcing bar in general foundation experience. Studies have shown , after being dug the hole by the strength component , it will produce the diffraction phenomenon that strength flows, intensive near the hole in a utensil, produced the enormous stress to concentrate. In long to step prestressing force of the continuous roof beam , often block the steel bunch according to the needs of section internal force in stepping, set up the anchor head, but can often see the crack in the anchor firm section adjacent place. So if deal with improper, in corner or component form sudden change office , block place to be easy to appear crack strengthreinforcing bar of structure the. In the actual project, stress crack once produced the most common reason which loads the crack. Stress crack once belong to one more piece of nature of drawing , splitting off , shearing. Stress crack once is loaded and caused, only seldom calculate according to the routine too, but with modern to calculate constant perfection of means, times of stress crack to can accomplish reasonable checking computations too. For example to such stresses 2 times of producing as prestressing force , creeping ,etc., department's finite element procedure calculates levels pole correctly now, but more difficult 40 years ago. In the design, should pay attention to avoiding structure sudden change (or section sudden change), when it is unable to avoid , should do part deal with , corner for instance, make round horn , sudden change office make into the gradation zone transition, is it is it mix muscle to construct to strengthen at the same time, corner mix again oblique to reinforcing bar , as to large hole in a utensil can set up protecting in the perimeter at the terms of having angle steel. Load the crack characteristic in accordance with loading differently and presenting different characteristics differently. The crack appear person who draw more, the cutting area or the serious position of vibration. Must point out , is it get up cover or have along keep into short crack of direction to appear person who press, often the structure reaches the sign of bearing the weight of strength limit, it is an omen that the structure is destroyed, its reason is often that sectional size is partial and small. Receive the strength way differently according to the structure, the crack characteristic produced is as follows: 1, The centre is drawn. The crack runs through the component cross section , the interval is equal on the whole , and is perpendicular to receiving the strength direction. While adopting the whorl reinforcing bar , lie in the second-class crack near the reinforcing bar between the cracks. 2, The centre is pressed. It is parallel on the short and dense parallel crack which receive the strength direction to appear along the component. 3, Receive curved. Most near the large section from border is it appear and draw into direction vertical crack to begin person who draw curved square, and develop toward neutralization axle gradually. While adopting the whorl reinforcing bar , can see shorter second-class crack among the cracks. When the structure matches muscles less, there are few but wide cracks, fragility destruction may take place in thestructure 4, Pressed big and partial. Heavy to press and mix person who draw muscle a less one light to pigeonhole into the component while being partial while being partial, similar to receiving the curved component. 5, Pressed small and partial. Small to press and mix person who draw muscle a more one heavy to pigeonhole into the component while being partial while being partial, similar to the centre and pressed the component. 6, Cut. Press obliquly when the hoop muscle is too dense and destroy, the oblique crack which is greater than 45?? direction appears along the belly of roof beam end; Is it is it is it destroy to press to cut to happen when the hoop muscle is proper, underpart is it invite 45?? direction parallel oblique crack each other to appear along roof beam end. 7, Sprained. Component one side belly appear many direction oblique crack, 45?? of treaty, first, and to launch with spiral direction being adjoint. 8, Washed and cut. 4 side is it invite 45?? direction inclined plane draw and split to take place along column cap board, form the tangent plane of washing. 9, Some and is pressed. Some to appear person who press direction roughly parallel large short cracks with pressure.(2) crack caused in temperature changeThe concrete has nature of expanding with heat and contract with cold, look on as the external environment condition or the structure temperature changes, concrete take place out of shape, if out of shape to restrain from, produce the stress in the structure, produce the temperature crack promptly when exceeding concrete tensile strength in stress. In some being heavy to step foot-path among the bridge , temperature stress can is it go beyond living year stress even to reach. The temperature crack distinguishes the main characteristic of other cracks will be varied with temperature and expanded or closed up. The main factor is as follows, to cause temperature and change 1, Annual difference in temperature. Temperature is changing constantly in four seasons in one year, but change relatively slowly, the impact on structure of the bridge is mainly the vertical displacement which causes the bridge, can prop up seat move or set up flexible mound ,etc. not to construct measure coordinate , through bridge floor expansion joint generally, can cause temperature crack only when the displacement of the structure is limited, for example arched bridge , just bridge etc. The annual difference in temperature of our country generally changes therange with the conduct of the average temperature in the moon of January and July. Considering the creep characteristic of the concrete, the elastic mould amount of concrete should be considered rolling over and reducing when the internal force of the annual difference in temperature is calculated. 2, Rizhao. After being tanned by the sun by the sun to the side of bridge panel , the girder or the pier, temperature is obviously higher than other position, the temperature gradient is presented and distributed by the line shape . Because of restrain oneself function, cause part draw stress to be relatively heavy, the crack appears. Rizhao and following to is it cause structure common reason most , temperature of crack to lower the temperature suddenly 3, Lower the temperature suddenly. Fall heavy rain , cold air attack , sunset ,etc. can cause structure surface temperature suddenly dropped suddenly, but because inside temperature change relatively slow producing temperature gradient. Rizhao and lower the temperature internal force can adopt design specification or consult real bridge materials go on when calculating suddenly, concrete elastic mould amount does not consider converting into and reducing 4, Heat of hydration. Appear in the course of constructing, the large volume concrete (thickness exceeds 2. 0), after building because cement water send out heat, cause inside very much high temperature, the internal and external difference in temperature is too large, cause the surface to appear in the crack. Should according to actual conditions in constructing, is it choose heat of hydration low cement variety to try one's best, limit cement unit's consumption, reduce the aggregate and enter the temperature of the mould , reduce the internal and external difference in temperature, and lower the temperature slowly , can adopt the circulation cooling system to carry on the inside to dispel the heat in case of necessity, or adopt the thin layer and build it in succession in order to accelerate dispelling the heat. 5, The construction measure is improper at the time of steam maintenance or the winter construction , the concrete is sudden and cold and sudden and hot, internal and external temperature is uneven , apt to appear in the crack. 6, Prefabricate T roof beam horizontal baffle when the installation , prop up seat bury stencil plate with transfer flat stencil plate when welding in advance, if weld measure to be improper, iron pieces of nearby concrete easy to is it fracture to burn. Adopt electric heat piece draw law piece draw prestressing force at the component ,prestressing force steel temperature can rise to 350 degrees Centigrade , the concrete component is apt to fracture. Experimental study indicates , are caused the intensity of concrete that the high temperature burns to obviously reduce with rising of temperature by such reasons as the fire ,etc., glueing forming the decline thereupon of strength of reinforcing bar and concrete, tensile strength drop by 50% after concrete temperature reaches 300 degrees Centigrade, compression strength drops by 60%, glueing the strength of forming to drop by 80% of only round reinforcing bar and concrete; Because heat, concrete body dissociate ink evaporate and can produce and shrink sharply in a large amount(3) shrink the crack causedIn the actual project, it is the most common because concrete shrinks the crack caused. Shrink kind in concrete, plasticity shrink is it it shrinks (is it contract to do ) to be the main reason that the volume of concrete out of shape happens to shrink, shrink spontaneously in addition and the char shrink. Plasticity shrink. About 4 hours after it is built that in the course of constructing , concrete happens, the cement water response is fierce at this moment, the strand takes shape gradually, secrete water and moisture to evaporate sharply, the concrete desiccates and shrinks, it is at the same time conduct oneself with dignity not sinking because aggregate,so when harden concrete yet,it call plasticity shrink. The plasticity shrink producing amount grade is very big, can be up to about 1%. If stopped by the reinforcing bar while the aggregate sinks, form the crack along the reinforcing bar direction. If web , roof beam of T and roof beam of case and carry baseplate hand over office in component vertical to become sectional place, because sink too really to superficial obeying the web direction crack will happen evenly before hardenning. For reducing concrete plasticity shrink,it should control by water dust when being construct than,last long-time mixing, unloading should not too quick, is it is it take closely knit to smash to shake, vertical to become sectional place should divide layer build. Shrink and shrink (do and contract). After the concrete is formed hard , as the top layer moisture is evaporated progressively , the humidity is reduced progressively , the volume of concrete is reduced, is called and shrunk to shrink (do and contract). Because concrete top layermoisture loss soon, it is slow for inside to lose, produce surface shrink heavy , inside shrink a light one even to shrink, it is out of shape to restrain from by the inside concrete for surface to shrink, cause the surface concrete to bear pulling force, when the surface concrete bears pulling force to exceed its tensile strength, produce and shrink the crack. The concrete hardens after-contraction to just shrink and shrink mainly .Such as mix muscle rate heavy component (exceed 3% ), between reinforcing bar and more obvious restraints relatively that concrete shrink, the concrete surface is apt to appear in the full of cracks crackle. Shrink spontaneously. Spontaneous to it shrinks to be concrete in the course of hardenning , cement and water take place ink react, the shrink with have nothing to do by external humidity, and can positive (whether shrink, such as ordinary portland cement concrete), can negative too (whether expand, such as concrete, concrete of slag cement and cement of fly ash). The char shrinks. Between carbon dioxide and hyrate of cement of atmosphere take place out of shape shrink that chemical reaction cause. The char shrinks and could happen only about 50% of humidity, and accelerate with increase of the density of the carbon dioxide. The char shrinks and seldom calculates . The characteristic that the concrete shrinks the crack is that the majority belongs to the surface crack, the crack is relatively detailed in width , and criss-cross, become the full of cracks form , the form does not have any law . Studies have shown , influence concrete shrink main factor of crack as follows, 1, Variety of cement , grade and consumption. Slag cement , quick-hardening cement , low-heat cement concrete contractivity are relatively high, ordinary cement , volcanic ash cement , alumina cement concrete contractivity are relatively low. Cement grade low in addition, unit volume consumption heavy rubing detailed degree heavy, then the concrete shrinks the more greatly, and shrink time is the longer. For example, in order to improve the intensity of the concrete , often adopt and increase the cement consumption method by force while constructing, the result shrinks the stress to obviously strengthen . 2, Variety of aggregate. Such absorbing water rates as the quartz , limestone , cloud rock , granite , feldspar ,etc. are smaller, contractivity is relatively low in the aggregate; And such absorbing water rates as the sandstone , slate , angle amphibolite ,etc. are greater, contractivity is relatively high. Aggregate grains of foot-path heavy to shrink light inaddition, water content big to shrink the larger. 3, Water gray than. The heavier water consumption is, the higher water and dust are, the concrete shrinks the more greatly. 4, Mix the pharmaceutical outside. It is the better to mix pharmaceutical water-retaining property outside, then the concrete shrinks the smaller. 5, Maintain the method . Water that good maintenance can accelerate the concrete reacts, obtain the intensity of higher concrete. Keep humidity high , low maintaining time to be the longer temperature when maintaining, then the concrete shrinks the smaller. Steam maintain way than maintain way concrete is it take light to shrink naturall. 6, External environment. The humidity is little, the air drying , temperature are high, the wind speed is large in the atmosphere, then the concrete moisture is evaporated fast, the concrete shrinks the faster. 7, Shake and smash the way and time. Machinery shake way of smashing than make firm by ramming or tamping way concrete contractivity take little by hand. Shaking should determine according to mechanical performance to smash time , are generally suitable for 55s / time. It is too short, shake and can not smash closely knit , it is insufficient or not even in intensity to form the concrete; It is too long, cause and divide storey, thick aggregate sinks to the ground floor, the upper strata that the detailed aggregate stays, the intensity is not even , the upper strata incident shrink the crack. And shrink the crack caused to temperature, worthy of constructing the reinforcing bar againing can obviously improve the resisting the splitting of concrete , structure of especially thin wall (thick 200cm of wall ). Mix muscle should is it adopt light diameter reinforcing bar (8 |? construct 14 |? ) to have priority , little interval assign (whether @ 10 construct @ 15cm ) on constructing, the whole section is it mix muscle to be rate unsuitable to be lower than 0 to construct. 3%, can generally adopt 0 . 3%~0. 5%.(4), crack that causes out of shape of plinth of the groundBecause foundation vertical to even to subside or horizontal direction displacement, make the structure produce the additional stress, go beyond resisting the ability of drawing of concrete structure, cause the structure to fracture. The even main reason that subside of the foundation is as follows, 1, Reconnoitres the precision and is not enough for , test the materials inaccuratly in geology. Designing, constructing without fully grasping the geological situation, this is the main reason that cause the ground not to subside evenly .Such as hills area or bridge, district of mountain ridge,, hole interval to be too far when reconnoitring, and ground rise and fall big the rock, reconnoitring the report can't fully reflect the real geological situation . 2, The geological difference of the ground is too large. Building it in the bridge of the valley of the ditch of mountain area, geology of the stream place and place on the hillside change larger, even there are weak grounds in the stream, because the soil of the ground does not causes and does not subside evenly with the compressing. 3, The structure loads the difference too big. Under the unanimous terms, when every foundation too heavy to load difference in geological situation, may cause evenly to subside, for example high to fill out soil case shape in the middle part of the culvert than to is it take heavy to load both sides, to subside soon heavy than both sides middle part, case is it might fracture to contain 4, The difference of basic type of structure is great. Unite it in the bridge the samly , mix and use and does not expand the foundation and a foundation with the foundation, or adopt a foundation when a foot-path or a long difference is great at the same time , or adopt the foundation of expanding when basis elevation is widely different at the same time , may cause the ground not to subside evenly too 5, Foundation built by stages. In the newly-built bridge near the foundation of original bridge, if the half a bridge about expressway built by stages, the newly-built bridge loads or the foundation causes the soil of the ground to consolidate again while dealing with, may cause and subside the foundation of original bridge greatly 6, The ground is frozen bloatedly. The ground soil of higher moisture content on terms that lower than zero degree expands because of being icy; Once temperature goes up , the frozen soil is melted, the setting of ground. So the ground is icy or melts causes and does not subside evenly . 7, Bridge foundation put on body, cave with stalactites and stalagmites, activity fault,etc. of coming down at the bad geology, may cause and does not subside evenly . 8, After the bridge is built up , the condition change of original ground . After most natural grounds and artificial grounds are soaked with water, especially usually fill out such soil of special ground as the soil , loess , expanding in the land ,etc., soil body intensity meet water drop, compress out of shape to strengthen. In the soft soil ground , season causes the water table to drop to draw water or arid artificially, the ground soil layer consolidates and sinks again,reduce the buoyancy on the foundation at the same time , shouldering the obstruction of rubing to increase, the foundation is carried on one's shoulder or back and strengthened .Some bridge foundation is it put too shallow to bury, erode , is it dig to wash flood, the foundation might be moved. Ground load change of terms, bridge nearby is it is it abolish square , grit ,etc. in a large amount to put to pile with cave in , landslide ,etc. reason for instance, it is out of shape that the bridge location range soil layer may be compressed again. So, the condition of original ground change while using may cause and does not subside evenly Produce the structure thing of horizontal thrust to arched bridge ,etc., it is the main reason that horizontal displacement crack emerges to destroy the original geological condition when to that it is unreasonable to grasp incompletely , design and construct in the geological situation.桥梁裂缝产生原因浅析近年来,我省交通基础建设得到迅猛发展,各地建立了大量的混凝土桥梁。

这并不是说没有进行宏观构思的余地。
实际上,正是因为有了这种宏观的构思,新奇的高层建筑体系才得以发展,可能更重要的是:几年以前才出现的一些新概念在今天的技术中已经变得平常了。
如果忽略一些与建筑材料密切相关的概念不谈,高层建筑里最为常用的结构体系便可分为如下几类:1.抗弯矩框架。

3.剪力墙,包括钢板剪力墙。
4.筒中框架。
5.筒中筒结构。
6.核心交互结构。
7. 框格体系或束筒体系。
特别是由于最近趋向于更复杂的建筑形式,同时也需要增加刚度以抵抗几力和地震力,大多数高层建筑都具有由框架、支撑构架、剪力墙和相关体系相结合而构成的体系。
而且,就较高的建筑物而言,大多数都是由交互式构件组成三维陈列。
将这些构件结合起来的方法正是高层建筑设计方法的本质。
其结合方式需要在考虑环境、功能和费用后再发展,以便提供促使建筑发展达到新高度的有效结构。
这并不是说富于想象力的结构设计就能够创造出伟大建筑。
正相反,有许多例优美的建筑仅得到结构工程师适当的支持就被创造出来了,然而,如果没有天赋甚厚的建筑师的创造力的指导,那么,得以发展的就只能是好的结构,并非是伟大的建筑。
无论如何,要想创造出高层建筑真正非凡的设计,两者都需要最好的。

Since the long term hourly temperature records are notavailable in China, there is a lack of bin weather data for study and use. In order to keep the bin method practical in China,a stochastic model using only the daily maximum and minimum temperatures to generate bin weather data was establishedand tested by applying one year of measured hourly ambient temperature data in Nanjing, China. By comparison with themeasured values, the bin weather data generated by the model shows adequate accuracy.

IntroductionIn the sense of minimizing the life cycle cost of a building, energy analysis plays an important role in devel-oping an optimum and cost effective design of a heating or an air conditioning system for a building. Severalmodels are available for estimating energy use in buildings. These models range from simple steady state mod-els to comprehensive dynamic simulation procedures.Today, several computer programs, in which the influence of many parameters that are mainly functionsof time are taken into consideration, are available for simulating both buildings and systems and performinghour by hour energy calculations using hourly weather data.

Unfortunately, along withthe increased sophistication of these models, they have also become very complex and tedious touse [1].The steady state methods, which are also called single measure methods, require less data and provideadequate results for simple systems and applications. These methods are appropriate if the utilization ofthe building can be considered constant. Among these methods are the degree day and bin data methods.The degree-day methods are the best known and the simplest methods among the steady state models.Traditionally, the degree-day method is based on the assumption that on a long term average, the solarand internal gains will offset the heat loss when the mean daily outdoor temperature is 18.3 °C and thatthe energy consumption will be proportional to the difference between 18.3 °C and the mean daily tempera-ture. The degree-day method can estimate energy consumption very accurately if the building use and theefficiency of the HVAC equipment are sufficiently constant. However, for many applications, at least oneof the above parameters varies with time. For instance, the efficiency of a heat pump system and HVAC equip-ment may be affected directly or indirectly by outdoor temperature. In such cases, the bin method can yieldgood results for the annual energy consumption if different temperature intervals and time periods areevaluated separately. In the bin method, the energy consumption is calculated for several values of the outdoortemperature and multiplied by the number of hours in the temperature interval (bin) centered around thattemperature. Bin data is defined as the number of hours that the ambient temperature was in each of a setof equally sized intervals of ambient temperature.In the United States, the necessary bin weather data are available in the literature [2,3]. Some researchers[4–8] have developed bin weather data for other regions of the world. However, there is a lack of informationin the ASHRAE handbooks concerning the bin weather data required to perform energy calculations in build-ings in China. The practice of analysis of weather data for the design of HVAC systems and energy consump-tion predictions in China is quite new. For a long time, only the daily value of meteorological elements, such asdaily maximum, minimum and average temperature, was recorded and available in most meteorologicalobservations in China, but what was needed to obtain the bin weather data, such as temperature bin data,were the long term hourly values of air temperature. The study of bin weather data is very limited in China.Only a few attempts [9,10] in which bin weather data for several cities was given have been found in China.Obviously, this cannot meet the need for actual use and research. So, there is an urgent need for developing binweather data in China. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to study the hourly measured air temperaturedistribution and then to establish a model to generate bin weather data for the long term daily temperaturedata.2. Data usedZ. Jin et al. / Energy Conversion and Management 47 (2006) 1843–1850In this paper, to study the hourly ambient temperature variation and to establish and evaluate the model, aone year long hourly ambient temperature record for Nanjing in 2002 was used in the study. These data aretaken from the Climatological Center of Lukou Airport in Nanjing, which is located in the southeast of China(latitude 32.0°N, longitude 118.8°E, altitude 9 m).In addition, in order to create the bin weather data for Nanjing, typical weather year data was needed.Based on the long term meteorological data from 1961 to 1989 obtained from the China MeteorologicalAdministration, the typical weather year data for most cities in China has been studied in our former research[11] by means of the TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) method. The typical weather year for Nanjing isshown in Table 1. As only daily values of the meteorological elements were recorded and available in China,the data contained in the typical weather year data was also only daily values. In this study, the daily maxi-mum and minimum ambient temperature in the typical weather year data for Nanjing was used.3. Stochastic model to generate bin dataTraditionally, the generation of bin weather data needs long term hourly ambient temperature records.However, in the generation, the time information, namely the exact time that such a temperature occurredin a day, was omitted, and only the numerical value of the temperature was used. So, the value of each hourlyambient temperature can be treated as the independent random variable, and its distribution within the dailytemperature range can be analyzed by means of probability theory.3.1. Probability distribution of normalized hourly ambient temperatureSince the daily maximum and minimum temperatures and temperature range varied day by day, the con-cept of normalized hourly ambient temperature should be introduced to transform the hourly temperatures ineach day into a uniform scale. The new variable, normalized hourly ambient temperature is defined by^ ¼ttmintmaxtminwhere ^ may be termed the normalized hourly ambient temperature, tmaxand tminare the daily maximum andminimum temperatures, respectively, t is the hourly ambient temperature. Obviously, the normalized hourly ambient temperature ^ is a random variable that lies in the interval [0, 1].To analyze its distribution, the interval [0, 1] can be divided equally into several subintervals, and by means ofthe histogram method [12]iin each subinterval can be calculated by1137土木工程英文文献及翻译Based on the one year long hourly ambient temperature data in Nanjing, China, the probability density piwas calculated for the whole day and the 08:00–20:00 period, where the interval [0, 1] was equally divided into50 subintervals, namely n equals 50. The results are shown in Fig. 1.According to the discrete probability density data in Fig. 1, the probability density function of ^ can beobtained by a fitting method. In this study, the quadratic polynomialswere used to fit the probability density data, where a, b and c are coefficients. According to the property of theprobability density function, the following equation should be satisfiedAs shown in Fig. 1, the probability density curve obtained according to the probability density data pointsis also shown. The probability densit y functions that are fitted are described byp ¼ 2:7893^23:1228^ þ 1:6316 for the whole day periodp ¼ 2:2173^20:1827^ þ 0:3522 for the 08 : 00–20 : 00 period3.2. The generation of hourly ambient temperatureAs stated in the beginning of this paper, the objective of this study is to generate the hourly ambient tem-perature needed for bin weather data generation in the case that only the daily maximum and minimum tem-peratures are known. To do this, we can use the obtained probability density function to generate thenormalized hourly ambient temperature and then transform it to hourly temperature. This belongs to theproblem of how to simulate a random variable with a prescribed probability density function and can be doneon a computer by the method described in the literature [13]. For a given probability density function f ð^Þ, ifits distribution function F ð^Þ can be obtained and if u is a random variable with uniform distribution on [0, 1],thenF, we need only setAs stated above, the probability density function of the normalized ambient temperature was fitted using aone year long hourly temperature data. Based on the probability density function obtained, the random nor-malized hourly temperature can be generated. When the daily maximum and minimum temperature areknown, the normalized hourly temperature can be transformed to an actual temperature by the followingequationWhen the hourly temperature for a particular period of the day has been generated using the above method,the bin data can also be obtained. Because the normalized temperature generated using the model in this studyis a random variable, the bin data obtained from each generation shows somedifference, but it has much sim-ilarity. To obtain a stable result of bin data, the generation of the bin data can be performed enough times,and the bin data can be obtained by averaging the result of each generation. In this paper, 50 generations wereaveraged to generate the bin weather data.Z. Jin et al. / Energy Conversion and Management 47 (2006) 1843–18503.4.

外文原文 2Civil engineering introduction papersAbstract: the civil engineering is a huge discipline, but the main one is building, building whether in China or abroad, has a long history, long-term development process. The world is changing every day, but the building also along with the progress of science and development. Mechanics findings, material of update, ever more scientific technology into the building. But before a room with a tile to cover the top of the house, now for comfort, different ideas, different scientific, promoted the development of civil engineering, making it more perfect.Key words: civil engineering;Architecture;Mechanics;Materials Civil engineering is building various projects collectively. It was meant to be and "military project" corresponding. In English the history of Civil Engineering, mechanical Engineering, electrical Engineering, chemical Engineering belong to Engineering, because they all have Min Yong Xing. Later, as the project development of science and technology, mechanical, electrical, chemical has gradually formed independent scientific, to Engineering became Civil Engineering of specialized nouns. So far, in English, to Engineering include water conservancy project, port engineering, while in our country, water conservancy projects and port projects also become very close and civil engineering relatively independent branch. Civil engineering construction of object, both refers to that built on the ground, underground water engineering facilities, also refers to applied materials equipment and conduct of the investigation, design and construction, maintenance, repair and other professional technology.Civil engineering is a kind of with people's food, clothing, shelter and transportation has close relation of the project. Among them with "live" relationship is directly. Because, to solve the "live" problem,must build various types of buildings. To solve the "line, food and clothes" problem both direct side, but also a indirect side. "Line", must build railways, roads, Bridges, "Feed", must be well drilling water, water conservancy, farm irrigation, drainage water supply for the city that is direct relation. Indirectly relationship is no matter what you do, manufacturing cars, ships, or spinning and weaving, clothing, or even production steel, launch satellites, conducting scientific research activities are inseparable from build various buildings, structures and build all kinds of project facilities.Civil engineering with the progress of human society and development, yet has evolved into large-scale comprehensive discipline, it has out many branch, such as: architectural engineering, the railway engineering, road engineering, bridge engineering, special engineering structure, water and wastewater engineering, port engineering, hydraulic engineering, environment engineering disciplines. [1] Civil engineering as an important basic disciplines, and has its important attributes of: integrated, sociality, practicality, unity. Civil engineering for the development of national economy and the improvement of people's life provides an important material and technical basis, for many industrial invigoration played a role in promoting, engineering construction is the formation of a fixed asset basic production process, therefore, construction and real estate become in many countries and regions, economic powerhouses.Construction project is housing planning, survey, design, construction of the floorboard. Purpose is for human life and production provide places.Houses will be like a man, it's like a man's life planning environment is responsible by the planners, Its layout and artistic processing, corresponding to the body shape looks and temperament, is responsible by the architect, Its structure is like a person's bones and life expectancy, the structural engineer is responsible, Its water, heating ventilation and electrical facilities such as the human organ and the nerve, is by the equipment engineer is responsible for. Also like nature intact shaped like people, in the city I district planning based on build houses, and is the construction unit, reconnaissance unit, design unit of various design engineers and construction units comprehensive coordination and cooperation process.After all, but ,is structural stress body reaction force and the internal stress and how external force balance. Building to tackle, also must solve the problem is mechanical problems. We have to solve the problem of discipline called architectural mechanics. Architectural mechanics have can be divided into: statics, material mechanics and structural mechanics three mechanical system. Architectural mechanics is discussion and research building structure and component in load and other factors affecting the working condition of, also is the building of intensity, stiffness and stability. In load, bear load and load of structure and component can cause the surrounding objects in their function, and the object itself by the load effect and deformation, and there is the possibility of damage, but the structure itself has certain resistance to deformation and destruction of competence, and the bearingcapacity of the structure size is and component of materials, cross section, and the structural properties of geometry size, working conditions and structure circumstance relevant. While these relationships can be improved by mechanics formula solved through calculation.Building materials in building and has a pivotal role. Building material is with human society productivity and science and technology improves gradually developed. In ancient times, the human lives, the line USES is the rocks and trees. The 4th century BC, 12 ~ has created a tile and brick, humans are only useful synthetic materials made of housing. The 17th century had cast iron and Sheltie later, until the eighteenth century had Portland cement, just make later reinforced concrete engineering get vigorous development. Now all sorts of high-strength structural materials, new decoration materials and waterproof material development, criterion and 20th century since mid organic polymer materials in civil engineering are closely related to the widely application. In all materials, the most main and most popular is steel, concrete, lumber, masonry. In recent years, by using two kinds of material advantage, will make them together, the combination of structure was developed. Now, architecture, engineering quality fit and unfit quality usually adopted materials quality, performance and using reasonable or not have direct connection, in meet the same technical indicators and quality requirements, under the precondition of choice of different material is different, use method of engineering cost has direct impact.In construction process, building construction is and architectural mechanics, building materials also important links. Construction is to the mind of the designer, intention and idea into realistic process, from the ancient JuChao place to now skyscrapers, from rural to urban country road elevated road all need through "construction" means. A construction project, including many jobs such as dredging engineering, deep foundation pit bracing engineering, foundation engineering, reinforced concrete structure engineering, structural lifting project, waterproofing, decorate projects, each type of project has its own rules, all need according to different construction object and construction environment conditions using relevant construction technology, in work-site. whenever while, need and the relevant hydropower and other equipment composition of a whole, each project between reasonable organizing and coordination, better play investment benefit. Civil engineering construction in the benefit, while also issued by the state in strict accordance with the relevant construction technology standard, thus further enhanceChina's construction level to ensure construction quality, reduce the cost for the project.Any building built on the surface of the earth all strata, building weight eventually to stratum, have to bear. Formation Support building the rocks were referred to as foundation, and the buildings on the ground and under the upper structure of self-respect and liable to load transfer to the foundation of components or component called foundation. Foundation, and the foundation and the superstructure is a building of three inseparable part. According to the function is different, but in load, under the action of them are related to each other, is the interaction of the whole. Foundation can be divided into natural foundation and artificial foundation, basic according to the buried depth is divided into deep foundation and shallow foundation. , foundation and foundation is the guarantee of the quality of the buildings and normal use close button, where buildings foundation in building under loads of both must maintain overall stability and if the settlement of foundation produce in building scope permitted inside, and foundation itself should have sufficient strength, stiffness and durability, also consider repair methods and the necessary foundation soil retaining water and relevant measures. [3]As people living standard rise ceaselessly, the people to their place of building space has become not only from the number, and put forward higher requirement from quality are put car higher demands that the environment is beautiful, have certain comfort. This needs to decorate a building to be necessary. If architecture major engineering constitutes the skeleton of the building, then after adornment building has become the flesh-and-blood organism, final with rich, perfect appearance in people's in front, the best architecture should fully embody all sorts of adornment material related properties, with existing construction technology, the most effective gimmick, to achieve conception must express effect. Building outfit fix to consider the architectural space use requirement, protect the subject institutions from damage, give a person with beautiful enjoying, satisfy the requirements of fire evacuation, decorative materials and scheme of rationality, construction technology and economic feasibility, etc. Housing construction development and at the same time, like housing construction as affecting people life of roads, Bridges, tunnels has made great progress.In general civil engineering is one of the oldest subjects, it has made great achievements, the future of the civil engineering will occupy in people's life moreimportant position. The environment worsening population increase, people to fight for survival, to strive for a more comfortable living environment, and will pay more attention to civil engineering. In the near future, some major projects estimated to build, insert roller skyscrapers, across the ocean Bridges, more convenient traffic would not dream. The development of science and technology, and the earth is deteriorating environment will be prompted civil engineering to aerospace and Marine development, provide mankind broader space of living. In recent years, engineering materials mainly is reinforced concrete, lumber and brick materials, in the future, the traditional materials will be improved, more suitable for some new building materials market; especially the chemistry materials will promote the construction of towards a higher point. Meanwhile, design method of precision, design work of automation, information and intelligent technology of introducing, will be people have a more comfortable living environment. With the development of the theory and new materials, the emergence of the application of computer, high-tech introduction to wait to will make civil engineering have a new leap.This is a door needs calm and a great deal of patience and attentive professional. Because hundreds of thousands, even thousands of thousands of lines to building each place structure clearly reflected. Without a gentle state of mind, do what thing just floating on the surface, to any a building structure, to be engaged in business and could not have had a clear, accurate and profound understanding of, the nature is no good. In this business, probably not burn the midnight oil of courage, not to reach the goal of spirit not to give up, will only be companies eliminated.This is a responsible and caring industry. Should have a single responsible heart - I one's life in my hand, thousands of life in my hand. Since the civil, should choose dependably shoulder the responsibility.Finally, this is a constant pursuit of perfect industry. Pyramid, spectacular now: The Great Wall, the majestic... But if no generations of the pursuit of today, we may also use the sort of the oldest way to build this same architecture. Design a building structure is numerous, but this is all experienced centuries of clarification, through continuous accumulation, keep improving, innovation obtained. And such pursuit, not confined in the past. Just think, if the design of a building can be like calculation one plus one equals two as simple and easy to grasp, that was not for what? Therefore, a civil engineer is in constant of in formation. One of the most simple structure, theleast cost, the biggest function. Choose civil, choosing a steadfast diligence, innovation, pursuit of perfect path.Reference:[1] LuoFuWu editor. Civil engineering (professional). Introduction to wuhan.

外文文献翻译Reinforced ConcreteConcrete and reinforced concrete are used as building materials in every country。
In many, including the United States and Canada, reinforced concrete is a dominant structural material in engineered construction. The universal nature of reinforced concrete construction stems from the wide availability of reinforcing bars and the constituents of concrete, gravel, sand, and cement, the relatively simple skills required in concrete construction, and the economy of reinforced concrete compared to other forms of construction. Concrete and reinforced concrete are used in bridges, buildings of all sorts underground structures,water tanks, television towers,offshore oil exploration and production structures, dams, and even in ships。
Reinforced concrete structures may be cast-in-place concrete, constructed in their final location, or they may be precast concrete produced in a factory and erected at the construction site。

It is found that fire and the associ- ated effects on buildings is significantly different to other forms of loading such as gravity live loads, wind and earthquakes and their respective effects on the building structure. Fire events are derived from the human activities within buildings or from the malfunction of mechanical and electrical equipment provided within buildings to achieve a serviceable environment. It is therefore possible to directly influence the rate of fire starts within buildings by changing human behaviour, improved maintenance and improved design of mechanical and electrical systems. Furthermore, should a fire develops, it is possible to directly influence the resulting fire severity by the incorporation of fire safety systems such as sprinklers and to provide measures within the building to enable safer egress from the building. The ability to influence the rate of fire starts and the resulting fire severity is unique to the consideration of fire within buildings since other loads such as wind and earthquakes are directly a function of nature. The possible approaches for designing a building for fire safety are presented using an example of a multi-storey building constructed over a railway line. The design of both the transfer structure supporting the building over the railway and the levels above the transfer structure are considered in the context of current regulatory requirements. The principles and assumptions associ- ated with various approaches are discussed.1 INTRODUCTIONOther papers presented in this series consider the design of buildings for gravity loads, wind and earthquakes.The design of buildings against such load effects is to a large extent covered by engineering based standards referenced by the building regulations. This is not the case, to nearly the same extent, in the case of fire. Rather, it is building regulations such as the Building Code of Australia (BCA) that directly specify most of the requirements for fire safety of buildings with reference being made to Standards such as AS3600 or AS4100 for methods for determining the fire resistance of structural elements.The purpose of this paper is to consider the design of buildings for fire safety from an engineering perspective (as is currently done for other loads such as wind or earthquakes), whilst at the same time,putting such approaches in the context of the current regulatory requirements.At the outset,it needs to be noted that designing a building for fire safety is far morethan simply considering the building structure and whether it has sufficient structural adequacy.This is because fires can have a direct influence on occupants via smoke and heat and can grow in size and severity unlike other effects imposed on the building. Notwithstanding these comments, the focus of this paper will be largely on design issues associated with the building structure.Two situations associated with a building are used for the purpose of discussion. The multi-storey office building shown in Figure 1 is supported by a transfer structure that spans over a set of railway tracks. It is assumed that a wide range of rail traffic utilises these tracks including freight and diesel locomotives. The first situation to be considered from a fire safety perspective is the transfer structure.This is termed Situation 1 and the key questions are: what level of fire resistance is required for this transfer structure and how can this be determined? This situation has been chosen since it clearly falls outside the normal regulatory scope of most build- ing regulations. An engineering solution, rather than a prescriptive one is required. The second fire situation (termed Situation 2) corresponds to a fire within the office levels of the building and is covered by building regulations. This situation is chosen because it will enable a discussion of engineering approaches and how these interface with the building regulations–since both engineering and prescriptive solutions are possible.2 UNIQUENESS OF FIRE2.1 IntroductionWind and earthquakes can be considered to b e “natural” phenomena over which designers have no control except perhaps to choose the location of buildings more carefully on the basis of historical records and to design building to resist sufficiently high loads or accelerations for the particular location. Dead and live loads in buildings are the result of gravity. All of these loads are variable and it is possible (although generally unlikely) that the loads may exceed the resistance of the critical structural members resulting in structural failure.The nature and influence of fires in buildings are quite different to those associated with other“loads” to which a building may be subjected to. The essential differences are described in the following sections.2.2 Origin of FireIn most situations (ignoring bush fires), fire originates from human activities within the building or the malfunction of equipment placed within the building to provide a serviceable environment. It follows therefore that it is possible to influence the rate of fire starts by influencing human behaviour, limiting and monitoring human behaviour and improving thedesign of equipment and its maintenance. This is not the case for the usual loads applied to a building.2.3 Ability to InfluenceSince wind and earthquake are directly functions of nature, it is not possible to influence such events to any extent. One has to anticipate them and design accordingly. It may be possible to influence the level of live load in a building by conducting audits and placing restrictions on contents. However, in the case of a fire start, there are many factors that can be brought to bear to influence the ultimate size of the fire and its effect within the building. It is known that occupants within a building will often detect a fire and deal with it before it reaches a sig- nificant size. It is estimated that less than one fire in five (Favre, 1996) results in a call to the fire brigade and for fires reported to the fire brigade, the majority will be limited to the room of fire origin. In oc- cupied spaces, olfactory cues (smell) provide powerful evidence of the presence of even a small fire. The addition of a functional smoke detection system will further improve the likelihood of detection and of action being taken by the occupants.Fire fighting equipment, such as extinguishers and hose reels, is generally provided within buildings for the use of occupants and many organisations provide training for staff in respect of the use of such equipment.The growth of a fire can also be limited by automatic extinguishing systems such as sprinklers, which can be designed to have high levels of effectiveness.Fires can also be limited by the fire brigade depending on the size and location of the fire at the time of arrival. 2.4 Effects of FireThe structural elements in the vicinity of the fire will experience the effects of heat. The temperatures within the structural elements will increase with time of exposure to the fire, the rate of temperature rise being dictated by the thermal resistance of the structural element and the severity of the fire. The increase in temperatures within a member will result in both thermal expansion and,eventually,a reduction in the structural resistance of the member. Differential thermal expansion will lead to bowing of a member. Significant axial expansion will be accommodated in steel members by either overall or local buckling or yielding of local- ised regions. These effects will be detrimental for columns but for beams forming part of a floor system may assist in the development of other load resisting mechanisms (see Section 4.3.5).With the exception of the development of forces due to restraint of thermal expansion, fire does not impose loads on the structure but rather reduces stiffness and strength. Such effects are not instantaneous but are a function of time and this is different to the effects of loads such as earthquake and wind that are more or less instantaneous.Heating effects associated with a fire will not be significant or the rate of loss of capacity will be slowed if:(a) the fire is extinguished (e.g. an effective sprinkler system)(b) the fire is of insufficient severity – insufficient fuel, and/or(c)the structural elements have sufficient thermal mass and/or insulation to slow the rise in internal temperatureFire protection measures such as providing sufficient axis distance and dimensions for concrete elements, and sufficient insulation thickness for steel elements are examples of (c). These are illustrated in Figure 2.The two situations described in the introduction are now considered.3 FIRE WITHIN BUILDINGS3.1 Fire Safety ConsiderationsThe implications of fire within the occupied parts of the office building (Figure 1) (Situation 2) are now considered. Fire statistics for office buildings show that about one fatality is expected in an office building for every 1000 fires reported to the fire brigade. This is an order of magnitude less than the fatality rate associated with apartment buildings. More than two thirds of fires occur during occupied hours and this is due to the greater human activity and the greater use of services within the building. It is twice as likely that a fire that commences out of normal working hours will extend beyond the enclosure of fire origin.A relatively small fire can generate large quantities of smoke within the floor of fire origin. If the floor is of open-plan construction with few partitions, the presence of a fire during normal occupied hours is almost certain to be detected through the observation of smoke on the floor. The presence of full height partitions across the floor will slow the spread of smoke and possibly also the speed at which the occupants detect the fire. Any measures aimed at improving housekeeping, fire awareness and fire response will be beneficial in reducing thelikelihood of major fires during occupied hours.For multi-storey buildings, smoke detection systems and alarms are often provided to give “automatic” detection and warning to the occupants. An alarm signal is also transmitted to the fire brigade.Should the fire not be able to be controlled by the occupants on the fire floor, they will need to leave the floor of fire origin via the stairs. Stair enclosures may be designed to be fire-resistant but this may not be sufficient to keep the smoke out of the stairs. Many buildings incorporate stair pressurisation systems whereby positive airflow is introduced into the stairs upon detection of smoke within the building. However, this increases the forces required to open the stair doors and makes it increasingly difficult to access the stairs. It is quite likely that excessive door opening forces will exist(Fazio et al,2006)From a fire perspective, it is common to consider that a building consists of enclosures formed by the presence of walls and floors.An enclosure that has sufficiently fire-resistant boundaries (i.e. walls and floors) is considered to constitute a fire compartment and to be capable of limiting the spread of fire to an adjacent compartment. However, the ability of such boundaries to restrict the spread of fire can be severely limited by the need to provide natural lighting (windows)and access openings between the adjacent compartments (doors and stairs). Fire spread via the external openings (windows) is a distinct possibility given a fully developed fire. Limit- ing the window sizes and geometry can reduce but not eliminate the possibility of vertical fire spread.By far the most effective measure in limiting fire spread, other than the presence of occupants, is an effective sprinkler system that delivers water to a growing fire rapidly reducing the heat being generated and virtually extinguishing it.3.2 Estimating Fire SeverityIn the absence of measures to extinguish developing fires, or should such systems fail; severe fires can develop within buildings.In fire en gineering literature, the term “fire load” refers to the quantity of combustibles within an enclosure and not the loads (forces) applied to the structure during a fire. Similarly, fire load density refers to the quantity of fuel per unit area. It is normally expressed in terms of MJ/m2 or kg/m2 of wood equivalent. Surveys of combustibles for various occupancies (i.e offices, retail, hospitals, warehouses, etc)have been undertaken and a good summary of the available data is given in FCRC (1999). As would be expected, the fire load density is highly variable. Publications such as the International Fire Engineering Guidelines (2005) give fire load data in terms of the mean and 80th percentile.The latter level of fire load density is sometimes taken asthe characteristic fire load density and is sometimes taken as being distributed according to a Gumbel distribution (Schleich et al, 1999).The rate at which heat is released within an enclosure is termed the heat release rate (HRR) and normally expressed in megawatts (MW). The application of sufficient heat to a combustible material results in the generation of gases some of which are combustible. This process is called pyrolisation.Upon coming into contact with sufficient oxygen these gases ignite generating heat. The rate of burning(and therefore of heat generation) is therefore dependent on the flow of air to the gases generated by the pyrolising fuel.This flow is influenced by the shape of the enclosure (aspect ratio), and the position and size of any potential openings. It is found from experiments with single openings in approximately cubic enclosures that the rate of burning is directly proportional to A h where A is the area of the opening and h is the opening height. It is known that for deep enclosures with single openings that burning will occur initially closest to the opening moving back into the enclosure once the fuel closest to the opening is consumed (Thomas et al, 2005). Significant temperature variations throughout such enclosures can be expected.The use of the word ‘opening’ in relation to real building enclosures refers to any openings present around the walls including doors that are left open and any windows containing non fire-resistant glass.It is presumed that such glass breaks in the event of development of a significant fire. If the windows could be prevented from breaking and other sources of air to the enclosure limited, then the fire would be prevented from becoming a severe fire.Various methods have been developed for determining the potential severity of a fire within an enclosure.These are described in SFPE (2004). The predictions of these methods are variable and are mostly based on estimating a representative heat release rate (HRR) and the proportion of total fuel ςlikely to be consumed during the primary burning stage (Figure 4). Further studies of enclosure fires are required to assist with the development of improved models, as the behaviour is very complex.3.3 Role of the Building StructureIf the design objectives are to provide an adequate level of safety for the occupants and protection of adjacent properties from damage, then the structural adequacy of the building in fire need only be sufficient to allow the occupants to exit the building and for the building to ultimately deform in a way that does not lead to damage or fire spread to a building located on an adjacent site.These objectives are those associated with most building regulations includingthe Building Code of Australia (BCA). There could be other objectives including protection of the building against significant damage. In considering these various objectives, the following should be taken into account when considering the fire resistance of the building structure.3.3.1 Non-Structural ConsequencesSince fire can produce smoke and flame, it is important to ask whether these outcomes will threaten life safety within other parts of the building before the building is compromised by a loss of structural adequacy? Is search and rescue by the fire brigade not feasible given the likely extent of smoke? Will the loss of use of the building due to a severe fire result in major property and income loss? If the answer to these questions is in the affirmative, then it may be necessary to minimise the occurrence of a significant fire rather than simply assuming that the building structure needs to be designed for high levels of fire resistance. A low-rise shopping centre with levels interconnected by large voids is an example of such a situation.3.3.2 Other Fire Safety SystemsThe presence of other systems (e.g. sprinklers) within the building to minimise the occurrence of a serious fire can greatly reduce the need for the structural elements to have high levels of fire resistance. In this regard, the uncertainties of all fire-safety systems need to be considered. Irrespective of whether the fire safety system is the sprinkler system, stair pressurisation, compartmentation or the system giving the structure a fire-resistance level (e.g. concrete cover), there is an uncertainty of performance. Uncertainty data is available for sprinkler systems(because it is relatively easy to collect) but is not readily available for the other fire safety systems. This sometimes results in the designers and building regulators considering that only sprinkler systems are subject to uncertainty. In reality, it would appear that sprinklers systems have a high level of performance and can be designed to have very high levels of reliability.3.3.3 Height of BuildingIt takes longer for a tall building to be evacuated than a short building and therefore the structure of a tall building may need to have a higher level of fire resistance. The implications of collapse of tall buildings on adjacent properties are also greater than for buildings of only several storeys.3.3.4 Limited Extent of BurningIf the likely extent of burning is small in comparison with the plan area of the building, then the fire cannot have a significant impact on the overall stability of the building structure. Examples of situations where this is the case are open-deck carparks and very large area building such as shopping complexes where the fire-effected part is likely to be small in relation to area of the building floor plan.3.3.5 Behaviour of Floor ElementsThe effect of real fires on composite and concrete floors continues to be a subject of much research.Experimental testing at Cardington demonstrated that when parts of a composite floor are subject to heating, large displacement behaviour can develop that greatly assists the load carrying capacity of the floor beyond that which would predicted by considering only the behaviour of the beams and slabs in isolation.These situations have been analysed by both yield line methods that take into account the effects of membrane forces (Bailey, 2004) and finite element techniques. In essence, the methods illustrate that it is not necessary to insulate all structural steel elements in a composite floor to achieve high levels of fire resistance.This work also demonstrated that exposure of a composite floor having unprotected steel beams, to a localised fire, will not result in failure of the floor.A similar real fire test on a multistory reinforced concrete building demonstrated that the real structural behaviour in fire was significantly different to that expected using small displacement theory as for normal tempera- ture design (Bailey, 2002) with the performance being superior than that predicted by considering isolated member behaviour.3.4 Prescriptive Approach to DesignThe building regulations of most countries provide prescriptive requirements for the design of buildings for fire.These requirements are generally not subject to interpretation and compliance with them makes for simpler design approval–although not necessarily the most cost-effective designs.These provisions are often termed deemed-to-satisfy (DTS) provisions. All aspects of designing buildings for fire safety are covered–the provision of emergency exits, spacings between buildings, occupant fire fighting measures, detection and alarms, measures for automatic fire suppression, air and smoke handling requirements and last, but not least, requirements for compartmentation and fire resistance levels for structural members. However, there is little evidence that the requirements have been developed from a systematic evaluation of fire safety. Rather it would appear that many of the requirements have been added one to another to deal with another fire incident or to incorporate a new form of technology. There does not appear to have been any real attempt to determine which provision have the most significant influence on fire safety and whether some of the former provisions could be modified.The FRL requirements specified in the DTS provisions are traditionally considered to result in member resistances that will only rarely experience failure in the event of a fire.This is why it is acceptable to use the above arbitrary point in time load combination for assessing members in fire. There have been attempts to evaluate the various deemed-to-satisfy provisions (particularly the fire- resistance requirements)from a fire-engineering perspective taking intoaccount the possible variations in enclosure geometry, opening sizes and fire load (see FCRC, 1999).One of the outcomes of this evaluation was the recognition that deemed-to- satisfy provisions necessarily cover the broad range of buildings and thus must, on average, be quite onerous because of the magnitude of the above variations.It should be noted that the DTS provisions assume that compartmentation works and that fire is limited to a single compartment. This means that fire is normally only considered to exist at one level. Thus floors are assumed to be heated from below and columns only over one storey height.3.5 Performance-Based DesignAn approach that offers substantial benefits for individual buildings is the move towards performance-based regulations. This is permitted by regulations such as the BCA which state that a designer must demonstrate that the particular building will achieve the relevant performance requirements. The prescriptive provisions (i.e. the DTS provisions) are presumed to achieve these requirements. It is necessary to show that any building that does not conform to the DTS provisions will achieve the performance requirements.But what are the performance requirements? Most often the specified performance is simply a set of performance statements (such as with the Building Code of Australia)with no quantitative level given. Therefore, although these statements remind the designer of the key elements of design, they do not, in themselves, provide any measure against which to determine whether the design is adequately safe.Possible acceptance criteria are now considered.3.5.1 Acceptance CriteriaSome guidance as to the basis for acceptable designs is given in regulations such as the BCA. These and other possible bases are now considered in principle.(i)compare the levels of safety (with respect to achieving each of the design objectives) of the proposed alternative solution with those asso- ciated with a corresponding DTS solution for the building.This comparison may be done on either a qualitative or qualitative risk basis or perhaps a combination. In this case, the basis for comparison is an acceptable DTS solution. Such an approach requires a “holistic” approach to safety whereby all aspects relevant to safety, including the structure, are considered. This is, by far, the most common basis for acceptance.(ii)undertake a probabilistic risk assessment and show that the risk associated with the proposed design is less than that associated with common societal activities such as using pub lic transport. Undertaking a full probabilistic risk assessment can be very difficult for all but the simplest situations.Assuming that such an assessment is undertaken it will be necessary for the stakeholders to accept the nominated level of acceptable risk. Again, this requires a “holistic”approach to fire safety.(iii) a design is presented where it is demonstrated that all reasonable measures have been adopted to manage the risks and that any possible measures that have not been adopted will have negligible effect on the risk of not achieving the design objectives.(iv) as far as the building structure is concerned,benchmark the acceptable probability of failure in fire against that for normal temperature design. This is similar to the approach used when considering Building Situation 1 but only considers the building structure and not the effects of flame or smoke spread. It is not a holistic approach to fire safety.Finally, the questions of arson and terrorism must be considered. Deliberate acts of fire initiation range from relatively minor incidents to acts of mass destruction.Acts of arson are well within the accepted range of fire events experienced by build- ings(e.g. 8% of fire starts in offices are deemed "suspicious"). The simplest act is to use a small heat source to start a fire. The resulting fire will develop slowly in one location within the building and will most probably be controlled by the various fire- safety systems within the building. The outcome is likely to be the same even if an accelerant is used to assist fire spread.An important illustration of this occurred during the race riots in Los Angeles in 1992 (Hart 1992) when fires were started in many buildings often at multiple locations. In the case of buildings with sprinkler systems,the damage was limited and the fires significantly controlled.Although the intent was to destroy the buildings,the fire-safety systems were able to limit the resulting fires. Security measures are provided with systems such as sprinkler systems and include:- locking of valves- anti-tamper monitoring- location of valves in secure locationsFurthermore, access to significant buildings is often restricted by security measures.The very fact that the above steps have been taken demonstrates that acts of destruction within buildings are considered although most acts of arson do not involve any attempt to disable the fire-safety systems.At the one end of the spectrum is "simple" arson and at the other end, extremely rare acts where attempts are made to destroy the fire-safety systems along with substantial parts of the building.This can be only achieved through massive impact or the use of explosives. The latter may be achieved through explosives being introduced into the building or from outside by missile attack.The former could result from missile attack or from the collision of a large aircraft. The greater the destructiveness of the act,the greater the means and knowledge required. Conversely, the more extreme the act, the less confidence there can be in designing against suchan act. This is because the more extreme the event, the harder it is to predict precisely and the less understood will be its effects. The important point to recognise is that if sufficient means can be assembled, then it will always be possible to overcome a particular building design.Thus these acts are completely different to the other loadings to which a building is subjected such as wind,earthquake and gravity loading. This is because such acts of destruction are the work of intelligent beings and take into account the characteristics of the target.Should high-rise buildings be designed for given terrorist activities,then terrorists will simply use greater means to achieve the end result.For example, if buildings were designed to resist the impact effects from a certain size aircraft, then the use of a larger aircraft or more than one aircraft could still achieve destruction of the building. An appropriate strategy is therefore to minimise the likelihood of means of mass destruction getting into the hands of persons intent on such acts. This is not an engineering solution associated with the building structure.It should not be assumed that structural solutions are always the most appropriate, or indeed, possible.In the same way, aircrafts are not designed to survive a major fire or a crash landing but steps are taken to minimise the likelihood of either occurrence.The mobilization of large quantities of fire load (the normal combustibles on the floors) simultaneously on numerous levels throughout a building is well outside fire situations envisaged by current fire test standards and prescriptive regulations. Risk management measures to avoid such a possibility must be considered.4 CONCLUSIONSFire differs significantly from other “loads” such as wind, live load and earthquakes i n respect of its origin and its effects.Due to the fact that fire originates from human activities or equipment installed within buildings, it is possible to directly influence the potential effects on the building by reducing the rate of fire starts and providing measures to directly limit fire severity.The design of buildings for fire safety is mostly achieved by following the prescriptive requirements of building codes such as the BCA. For situations that fall outside of the scope of such regulations, or where proposed designs are not in accordance with the prescriptive requirements, it is possible to undertake performance-based fire engineering designs.However, there are no design codes or standards or detailed methodologies available for undertaking such designs.Building regulations require that such alternative designs satisfy performance requirements and give some guidance as to the basis for acceptance of these designs (i.e. acceptance criteria).This paper presents a number of possible acceptance criteria, all of which use the measure of risk level as the basis for comparison.Strictly, when considering the risks。

外文原文:Civil EngineeringCivil engineering is the planning, design, construction, and management of the built environment. This environment includes all structures built according to scientific principles, from irrigation and drainage systems to rocket launching facilities.Civil engineers build roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, harbors, power plants, water and sewage systems, hospitals, schools, mass transit, and other public facilities essential to modern society and large population concentrations. They also build privately owned facilities such as airport, railroads, pipelines, skyscrapers, and other large structures designed for industrial, commercial, or residential use. In addition, civil engineers plan, design, and build complete cities and towns, and more recently have been planning and designing space platforms to self-contained communities.The word civil derives from the Latin for citizen. In 1782, Englishman John Seaton used the term to differentiate his nonmilitary engineering work from that of the military engineers who predominated at the time. Since then, the term civil engineer has often been used to refer to engineers who build public facilities, although the field is much broader.Scope Because it is so broad, civil engineering is subdivided into a number of technical specialties. Depending on the type of project, the skills pf many kinds of civil engineer specialties may be needed. When a project begins, the site is surveyed and mapped by civil engineers who experiment to determine if the earth can bear the weight of project. Environmental specialists study the project’s impact on the local area, the potential for air and groundwater pollution, the project’s impact on local animal and plant life, and how the project can be designed to meet government requirements aimed at protecting the environment. Transportation specialists determine what kind of facilities are needed to ease the burden on local roads and other transportation networks that will result from the completed project. Meanwhile, structural specialists raise preliminary data to make detailed designs, plans, and specifications for the project. Supervising and coordinating the work of these civil engineer specialists, from beginning to end of the project, are the construction management specialists. Based on information supplied by the other specialists, construction management civil engineers estimate quantitiesand costs of materials and subcontractors, and perform other supervisory work to ensure the project is completed on time and as specified.Many civil engineers, among them the top people in the field, work in design. As we have seen, civil engineers work on many different kinds of structures, so it is normal practice for an engineer to specialize in just one kind. In designing buildings, engineers often work as consultants to architectural or construction firms. Dams, bridges, water supply systems, and other large projects ordinarily employ several engineers whose work is coordinated by a system engineer who is in charge of the entire project. In many cases, engineers from other disciplines are involved. In a dam project, for example, electrical and mechanical engineers work on the design of the powerhouse and its equipment. In other cases, civil engineers are assigned to work on a project in another field; in the space program, for instance, civil engineers were necessary in the design and construction of such structures as launching pads and rocket storage facilities.Throughout any given project, civil engineers make extensive use of computers. Computes are used to design the project’s various elements (computer-aided design, or CAD) and to manger it. Computers are a necessity for the modern civil engineer because they permit the engineer to efficiently handle the large quantities of data needed in determining the best way to construct a project.Structural engineering In this specialty, civil engineers plan and design structures of all types, including bridges dams, power plants, supports for equipment, special structures for offshore projects, the United States space program, transmission towers, giant astronomical and radio telescopes, and many other kinds of projects.Using computers, structural engineers determine the forces a structure must resist, its own weight, wind and hurricane forces temperature changes that expand or contract construction materials, and earthquakes. They also determine the combination of appropriate materials: steel, concrete, plastic, stone, asphalt, brick, aluminum, or other construction materials.Water resources engineering Civil engineers in this specialty deal with all aspects of the physical control of water. Their projects help prevent floods, supply water for cities and for irrigation, manage and control rivers and water runoff, and maintain beaches and other waterfront facilities. In addition, they design and maintain harbors, canals, and locks, build huge hydroelectric dams and smaller dams and water impoundments of all kinds, help design offshorestructures, and determine the location of structures affecting navigation.Geotechnical engineering Civil engineers who specialize in this filed analyze the properties of soils and rocks that support structures and affect structural behavior. They evaluate and work to minimize the potential settlement of buildings and other structures that stems from the pressure of their weight on the earth. These engineers also evaluate and determine how to strengthen the stability of slopes and how to protect structures against earthquakes and the effects of groundwater.Environmental engineering In this branch of engineering, civil engineers design, build, and supervise systems to provide safe drinking water and to prevent and control pollution of water supplies, both on the surface and underground. They also design, build, and supervise projects to control or eliminate pollution of the land and air. These engineers build water and wastewaters treatment plants, and design air scrubbers and other devices to minimize or eliminate air pollution caused by industrial processes, incineration, or other smoke-producing activities. They also work to control toxic and hazardous wastes through the construction of special dump sites or the neutralizing of toxic and hazardous substances. In addition the engineers design and manage sanitary landfills to prevent pollution of surrounding land.Transportation engineering Civil engineers working in this specialty build facilities to ensure safe and efficient movement of both people and goods. They specialize in designing and maintaining all types of transportation facilities, highways and streets, mass transit systems, railroads and airfields ports and harbors. Transportation engineers apply technological knowledge as well as consideration of the economic, political, and social factors in designing each project. They work closely with urban planners since the quality of the community is directly related to the quality of the transportation system.Pipeline engineering In this branch of civil engineering, engineers build pipelines and related facilities, which transport liquids, gases, or solids ranging from coal slurries (mixed coal and water) and semi liquids wastes, to water, oil and various types pf highly combustible and noncombustible gases. The engineers determine pipeline design, the economic and environmental impact of a project on regions it must traverse, the type pf materials to be used-steel, concrete, plastic, or combinations of various materials, installation techniques, methods for testing pipeline strength, and controls for maintaining proper pressure and rate of flow of materials being transported. When hazardous materials are being carried, safety is a major consideration as well.Construction engineering Civil engineers in this field oversee the construction of a project from beginning to end. Sometimes called project engineers, they apply both technical and managerial skills, including knowledge of construction methods, planning, organizing, financing, and operating construction projects. They coordinate the activities of virtually everyone engaged in the work: the surveyors, workers who lay out and construct the temporary roads and ramps, excavate for the foundation, build the forms and pour the concrete; and workers who build the steel frame-work. These engineers also make regular progress reports to the owners of the structure.Construction is a complicated process on almost all engineering projects. It involves scheduling the work and utilizing the equipment and the materials so that coats are kept as low as possible. Safety factor must also be taken into account, since construction can be very dangerous. Many civil engineers therefore specialize in the construction phase.Community and urban planning Those engaged in this area of civil engineering may plan and develop communities within a city, or entire cities. Such planning involves far more than engineering considerations; environmental, social, and economic factors in the use and development of land and natural resources are also key elements. They evaluate the kinds of facilities needed, including streets and highways, public transportation systems, airports, and recreational and other facilities to ensure social and economic as well as environmental well-being.Photogrammetry, surveying, and mapping The civil engineers in this specialty precisely measure the Earth’s surface to obtain reliable information for locating and designing engineering projects. This practice often involves high-technology methods such as satellite and aerial surveying, and computer processing of photographic imagery. Radio signals from satellites, scanned by laser and sonic beams, are converted to maps to provide very accurate measurements for boring tunnels, building highways and dams, plotting flood control and irrigation projects, locating subsurface geologic formations that may affect a construction project and a host of other building uses.Other specialties Three additional civil engineering specialties that are not entirely within the scope of civil engineering teaching.Engineering research Research is one of the most important aspects of scientific and engineering practice. A researcher usually works as a member of a team with other scientists and engineers. He or she is often employed in alaboratory that financed by government or industry. Areas of research connected with civil engineering include soil mechanics and soil stabilization techniques, and also the development and testing of new structural materials.Engineering management Many civil engineers choose careers that eventually lead to management. Others are also to start their careers in management positions. The civil engineer manager combines technical knowledge with an ability to organize and coordinate worker power, materials, machinery, and money. These engineers may work in government municipal, county, state, or federal; in the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers as military or civilian management engineers; or in semiautonomous regional or city authorities or similar organization. They may also manage private engineering firms ranging in size from a few employees to hundreds.Engineering teaching The civil engineer who chooses a teaching career usually teaches both graduate and undergraduate students in technical specialties. Many teaching civil engineers engage in basic research that eventually leads to technical innovations in construction materials and methods. Many also serve as consultants on engineering projects, or on technical boards and commissions associated with major projects.中文译文:土木工程土木工程是指对建成环境的规划、设计、建造、管理等一系列活动。

外文原文Response of a reinforced concrete infilled-frame structure to removal of twoadjacent columnsMehrdad Sasani_Northeastern University, 400 Snell Engineering Center, Boston, MA 02115, UnitedStatesReceived 27 June 2007; received in revised form 26 December 2007; accepted 24January 2008Available online 19 March 2008AbstractThe response of Hotel San Diego, a six-story reinforced concrete infilled-frame structure, is evaluated following the simultaneous removal of two adjacent exterior columns. Analytical models of the structure using the Finite Element Method as well as the Applied Element Method are used to calculate global and local deformations. The analytical results show good agreement with experimental data. The structure resisted progressive collapse with a measured maximum vertical displacement of only one quarter of an inch mm). Deformation propagation over the height of the structure and the dynamic load redistribution following the column removal are experimentally and analytically evaluated and described. The difference between axial and flexural wave propagations is discussed. Three-dimensional Vierendeel (frame) action of the transverse and longitudinal frames with the participation of infill walls is identified as the major mechanism for redistribution of loads in the structure. The effects of two potential brittle modes of failure (fracture of beam sections without tensile reinforcement and reinforcing bar pull out) are described. The response of the structure due to additional gravity loads and in the absence of infill walls is analytically evaluated.c 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Keywords: Progressive collapse; Load redistribution; Load resistance; Dynamic response; Nonlinear analysis; Brittle failure1.IntroductionThe principal scope of specifications is to provide general principles and computational methods in order to verify safet y of structures. The “safety factor ”, which according t o modern trends is independent of the nature and combination of the materials used, can usually be defined as the rati o between the conditions. This ratio is also proportional to the inverse of the probability ( risk ) of failure of th e structure.Failure has to be considered not only as overall collapse o f the structure but also as unserviceability or, according t o a more precise. Common definition. As the reaching of a “limit state ”which causes the construction not to acco mplish the task it was designed for. There are two categori es of limit state :(1)Ultimate limit sate, which corresponds to the highest value of the load-bearing capacity. Examples include local buckli ng or global instability of the structure; failure of some sections and subsequent transformation of the structure intoa mechanism; failure by fatigue; elastic or plastic deformati on or creep that cause a substantial change of the geometry of the structure; and sensitivity of the structure to alte rnating loads, to fire and to explosions.(2)Service limit states, which are functions of the use and durability of the structure. Examples include excessive defo rmations and displacements without instability; early or exces sive cracks; large vibrations; and corrosion.Computational methods used to verify structures with respect to the different safety conditions can be separated into: (1)Deterministic methods, in which the main parameters are co nsidered as nonrandom parameters.(2)Probabilistic methods, in which the main parameters are co nsidered as random parameters.Alternatively, with respect to the different use of factors of safety, computational methods can be separated into:(1)Allowable stress method, in which the stresses computed un der maximum loads are compared with the strength of the mat erial reduced by given safety factors.(2)Limit states method, in which the structure may be propor tioned on the basis of its maximum strength. This strength, as determined by rational analysis, shall not be less than that required to support a factored load equal to the sum of the factored live load and dead load ( ultimate state ).The stresses corresponding to working ( service ) conditions with unfactored live and dead loads are compared with pres cribed values ( service limit state ) . From the four poss ible combinations of the first two and second two methods, we can obtain some useful computational methods. Generally, t wo combinations prevail:(1)deterministic methods, which make use of allowable stresses . (2)Probabilistic methods, which make use of limit states. The main advantage of probabilistic approaches is that, at l east in theory, it is possible to scientifically take into account all random factors of safety, which are then combine d to define the safety factor. probabilistic approaches depend upon :(1) Random distribution of strength of materials with respect to the conditions of fabrication and erection ( scatter of the values of mechanical properties through out the structu re ); (2) Uncertainty of the geometry of the cross-section sand of the structure ( faults and imperfections due to fab rication and erection of the structure );(3) Uncertainty of the predicted live loads and dead loads acting on the structure; (4)Uncertainty related to the approx imation of the computational method used ( deviation of the actual stresses from computed stresses ). Furthermore, proba bilistic theories mean that the allowable risk can be based on several factors, such as :(1) Importance of the construction and gravity of the damage by its failure; (2)Number of human lives which can be thr eatened by this failure; (3)Possibility and/or likelihood of repairing the structure; (4) Predicted life of the structure. All these factors are related to economic and social consi derations such as:(1) Initial cost of the construction;(2) Amortization funds for the duration of the construction;(3) Cost of physical and material damage due to the failure of the construction;(4) Adverse impact on society;(5) Moral and psychological views.The definition of all these parameters, for a given saf ety factor, allows construction at the optimum cost. However, the difficulty of carrying out a complete probabilistic ana lysis has to be taken into account. For such an analysis t he laws of the distribution of the live load and its induc ed stresses, of the scatter of mechanical properties of mate rials, and of the geometry of the cross-sections and the st ructure have to be known. Furthermore, it is difficult to i nterpret the interaction between the law of distribution of strength and that of stresses because both depend upon the nature of the material, on the cross-sections and upon the load acting on the structure. These practical difficulties ca n be overcome in two ways. The first is to apply different safety factors to the material and to the loads, without necessarily adopting the probabilistic criterion. The second i s an approximate probabilistic method which introduces some s implifying assumptions ( semi-probabilistic methods ) . Aspart of mitigation programs to reduce the likelihood of mass casualties following local damage in structures, the General Services Administration [1] and the Department of Defense [2] developed regulations to evaluate progressive collapse resistance of structures. ASCE/SEI 7 [3] defines progressive collapse as the spread of an initial local failure fromelement to element eventually resulting in collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. Following the approaches proposed by Ellinwood and Leyendecker [4], ASCE/SEI 7 [3] defines two general methods for structural design of buildings to mitigate damage due to progressive collapse: indirect and direct design methods. General building codes and standards [3,5] use indirect design by increasing overall integrity of structures. Indirect design is also used in DOD [2]. Although the indirect design method can reduce the risk of progressive collapse [6,7] estimation of post-failure performance of structures designed based on such a method is not readily possible. One approach based on direct design methods to evaluate progressive collapse of structures is to study the effects of instantaneous removal of load-bearing elements, such as columns. GSA [1] and DOD [2] regulations require removal of one load bearing element. These regulations are meant to evaluate general integrity of structures and their capacity of redistributing the loads following severe damage to only one element. While such an approach provides insight as to the extent to which the structures are susceptible to progressive collapse, in reality, the initial damage can affect more than just one column. In this study, using analytical results that are verified against experimental data, the progressive collapse resistance of the Hotel San Diego is evaluated, following the simultaneous explosion (sudden removal) of two adjacent columns, one of which was a corner column. In order to explode the columns, explosives were inserted into predrilled holes in the columns. The columns were then well wrapped with a few layers of protective materials. Therefore, neither air blast nor flying fragments affected the structure.2. Building characteristicsHotel San Diego was constructed in 1914 with a south annex added in 1924. The annex included two separate buildings. Fig. 1 shows a south view of the hotel. Note that in the picture, the first and third stories of the hotel are covered with black fabric. The six story hotel had a non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure with hollow clay tile exterior infill walls. The infills in the annex consisted of two withes (layers) of clay tiles with a total thickness of about 8 in (203 mm). The height of the first floor was about 190–800 m). The height of other floors and that of the top floor were 100–600 m) and 160–1000 m), respectively. Fig. 2 shows the second floor of one of the annex buildings. Fig. 3 shows a typical plan of this building, whose responsefollowing the simultaneous removal (explosion) of columns A2 and A3 in the first (ground) floor is evaluated in this paper. The floor system consisted of one-way joists running in the longitudinal direction (North–South), as shown in Fig. 3. Based on compression tests of two concrete samples, the average concrete compressive strength was estimated at about 4500 psi (31 MPa) for a standard concrete cylinder. The modulus of elasticity of concrete was estimated at 3820 ksi (26 300 MPa) [5]. Also, based on tension tests of two steel samples having 1/2 in mm) square sections, the yield and ultimate tensile strengths were found to be 62 ksi (427 MPa) and 87 ksi (600 MPa), respectively. The steel ultimate tensile strain was measured at . The modulus of elasticity of steel was set equal to 29 000 ksi (200 000 MPa). The building was scheduled to be demolished by implosion. As part of the demolition process, the infill walls were removed from the first and third floors. There was no live load in the building. All nonstructural elements including partitions, plumbing, and furniture were removed prior to implosion. Only beams, columns, joist floor and infill walls on the peripheral beams were present.3. SensorsConcrete and steel strain gages were used to measure changes in strains of beams and columns. Linear potentiometers were used to measure global and local deformations. The concrete strain gages were in (90 mm) long having a maximum strain limit of ±. The steel strain gages could measure up to a strain of ±. The strain gages could operate up to a several hundred kHz sampling rate. The sampling rate used in the experiment was 1000 Hz. Potentiometers were used to capture rotation (integral of curvature over a length) of the beam end regions and global displacementin the building, as described later. The potentiometers had a resolution of about in mm) and a maximum operational speed of about 40 in/s m/s), while the maximum recorded speed in the experiment was about 14 in/sm/s).4. Finite element modelUsing the finite element method (FEM), a model of the building was developed in the SAP2000 [8] computer program. The beams and columns are modeled with Bernoulli beam elements. Beams have T or L sections with effective flange width on each side of the web equal to four times the slab thickness [5]. Plastic hinges are assigned to all possible locations where steel bar yielding can occur, including the ends of elements as well as the reinforcing bar cut-off and bend locations. The characteristics of the plastic hinges are obtained using section analysesof the beams and columns and assuming a plastic hinge length equal to half of the section depth. The current version of SAP2000 [8] is not able to track formation of cracks in the elements. In order to find the proper flexural stiffness of sections, an iterative procedure is used as follows. First, the building is analyzed assuming all elements are uncracked. Then, moment demands in the elements are compared with their cracking bending moments, Mcr . The moment of inertia of beam and slab segments are reduced by a coefficient of [5], where the demand exceeds the Mcr. The exterior beam cracking bending moments under negative and positive moments, are 516 k in kN m) and 336 k in kN m), respectively. Note that no cracks were formed in the columns. Then the building is reanalyzed and moment diagrams are re-evaluated. This procedure is repeated until all of the cracked regions are properly identified and modeled.The beams in the building did not have top reinforcing bars except at the end regions (see Fig. 4). For instance, no top reinforcement was provided beyond the bend in beam A1–A2, 12 inches away from the face of column A1 (see Figs. 4 and 5). To model the potential loss of flexural strength in those sections, localized crack hinges were assigned at the critical locations where no top rebar was present. Flexural strengths of the hinges were set equal to Mcr. Such sections were assumed to lose their flexural strength when the imposed bending moments reached Mcr.The floor system consisted of joists in the longitudinal direction (North–South). Fig. 6 shows the cross section of a typical floor. In order to account for potential nonlinear response of slabs and joists, floors are molded by beam elements. Joists are modeled with T-sections, having effective flange width on each side of the web equal to four times the slab thickness [5]. Given the large joist spacing between axes 2 and 3, two rectangular beam elements with 20-inch wide sections are used between the joist and the longitudinal beams of axes 2 and 3 to model the slab in the longitudinal direction. To model the behavior of the slab in the transverse direction, equally spaced parallel beams with 20-inch wide rectangular sections are used. There is a difference between the shear flow in the slab and that in the beam elements with rectangular sections modeling the slab. Because of this, the torsional stiffness is setequal to one-half of that of the gross sections [9].The building had infill walls on 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors on the spandrel beams with some openings . windows and doors). As mentioned before and as part of the demolition procedure, the infill walls in the 1st and 3rd floors were removed before the test. The infill walls were made of hollow clay tiles, which were in good condition. The net area of the clay tiles was about 1/2 of the gross area. The in-plane action of the infill walls contributes to the building stiffness and strength and affects the building response. Ignoring the effects of the infill walls and excluding them in the model would result in underestimating the building stiffness and strength.Using the SAP2000 computer program [8], two types of modeling for the infills are considered in this study: one uses two dimensional shell elements (Model A) and the other uses compressive struts (Model B) as suggested in FEMA356 [10] guidelines.. Model A (infills modeled by shell elements)Infill walls are modeled with shell elements. However, the current version of the SAP2000 computer program includes only linear shell elements and cannot account for cracking. The tensile strength of the infill walls is set equal to 26 psi, with a modulus of elasticity of 644 ksi [10]. Because the formation ofcracks has a significant effect on the stiffness of the infill walls, the following iterative procedure is used to account for crack formation:(1) Assuming the infill walls are linear and uncracked, a nonlinear time history analysis is run. Note that plastic hinges exist in the beam elements and the segments of the beam elements where moment demand exceeds the cracking moment have a reduced moment of inertia.(2) The cracking pattern in the infill wall is determined by comparingstresses in the shells developed during the analysis with the tensile strength of infills.(3) Nodes are separated at the locations where tensile stress exceeds tensile strength. These steps are continued until the crack regions are properly modeled.. Model B (infills modeled by struts)Infill walls are replaced with compressive struts as described in FEMA 356 [10] guidelines. Orientations of the struts are determined from the deformed shape of the structure after column removal and the location of openings.. Column removalRemoval of the columns is simulated with the following procedure. (1) The structure is analyzed under the permanent loads and the internal forces are determined at the ends of the columns, which will be removed.(2) The model is modified by removing columns A2 and A3 on the first floor. Again the structure is statically analyzed under permanent loads. In this case, the internal forces at the ends of removed columns found in the first step are applied externally to the structure along with permanent loads. Note that the results of this analysis are identical to those of step 1.(3) The equal and opposite column end forces that were applied in the second step are dynamically imposed on the ends of the removed column within one millisecond [11] to simulate the removal of the columns, and dynamic analysis is conducted.. Comparison of analytical and experimental resultsThe maximum calculated vertical displacement of the building occurs at joint A3 in the second floor. Fig. 7 shows the experimental andanalytical (Model A) vertical displacements of this joint (the AEM results will be discussed in the next section). Experimental data is obtained using the recordings of three potentiometers attached to joint A3 on one of their ends, and to the ground on the other ends. The peak displacements obtained experimentally and analytically (Model A) are in mm) and in mm), respectively, which differ only by about 4%. The experimental and analytical times corresponding to peak displacement are s and s, respectively. The analytical results show a permanent displacement of about in mm), which is about 14% smaller than the corresponding experimental value of in mm).Fig. 8 compares vertical displacement histories of joint A3 in the second floor estimated analytically based on Models A and B. As can be seen, modeling infills with struts (Model B) results in a maximum vertical displacement of joint A3 equal to about in mm), which is approximately 80% larger than the value obtained from Model A. Note that the results obtained from Model A are in close agreement with experimental results (see Fig. 7), while Model B significantly overestimates the deformation of the structure. If the maximum vertical displacement were larger, the infill walls were more severely cracked and the struts were more completely formed, the difference between the results of the two models (Models A and B) would be smaller.Fig. 9 compares the experimental and analytical (Model A) displacement of joint A2 in the second floor. Again, while the first peak vertical displacement obtained experimentally and analytically are in good agreement, the analytical permanent displacement under estimates the experimental value.Analytically estimated deformed shapes of the structure at the maximumvertical displacement based on Model A are shown in Fig. 10 with a magnification factor of 200. The experimentally measured deformed shape over the end regions of beams A1–A2 and A3–B3 in the second floorare represented in the figure by solid lines. A total of 14 potentiometers were located at the top and bottom of the end regions of the second floor beams A1–A2 and A3–B3, which were the most critical elements in load redistribution. The beam top and corresponding bottom potentiometerrecordings were used to calculate rotation between the sections where the potentiometer ends were connected. This was done by first finding the difference between the recorded deformations at the top and bottom of the beam, and then dividing the value by the distance (along the height of the beam section) between the two potentiometers. The expected deformed shapes between the measured end regions of the second floor beams are shown by dashed lines. As can be seen in the figures, analytically estimated deformed shapes of the beams are in good agreement with experimentally obtained deformed shapes.Analytical results of Model A show that only two plastic hinges are formed indicating rebar yielding. Also, four sections that did not have negative (top) reinforcement, reached cracking moment capacities and therefore cracked. Fig. 10 shows the locations of all the formed plastic hinges and cracks.。

1 Introduction and scope1.1 Aims of the ManualThis Manual provides guidance on the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete building structures. Structures designed in accordance with this Manual will normally comply with DD ENV 1992-1-1: 19921 (hereinafter referred to as EC2).1.2 Eurocode systemThe structural Eurocodes were initiated by the European Commission but are now produced by the Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) which is the European standards organization, its members being the national standards bodies of the EU and EFTA countries,e.g. BSI.CEN will eventually publish these design standards as full European Standards EN (Euronorms), but initially they are being issued as Prestandards ENV. Normally an ENV has a life of about 3 years to permit familiarization and trial use of the standard by member states. After formal voting by the member bodies, ENVs are converted into ENs taking into account the national comments on the ENV document. At present the following Eurocode parts have been published as ENVs but as yet none has been converted to an EN:DD ENV 1991-1-1: Basis of design and actions on structures (EC1)DD ENV 1992-1-1: Design of concrete structures (EC2)DD ENV 1993-1-1: Design of steel structures (EC3)DD ENV 1994-1-1: Design of composite steel and concrete structures (EC4)DD ENV 1995-1-1: Design of timber structures (EC5)DD ENV 1996-1-1: Design of masonry structures (EC6)DD ENV 1997-1-1: Geotechnical design (EC7)DD ENV 1998-1-1: Earthquake resistant design of structures (EC8)DD ENV 1999-1-1: Design of aluminium alloy structures (EC9)Each Eurocode is published in a number of parts, usually with ‘General rules’ and ‘Rules for buildings’ in Part 1. The various parts of EC2 are:Part 1.1 General rules and rules for buildings;Part 1.2 Supplementary rules for structural fire design;Part 1.3 Supplementary rules for precast concrete elements and structures;Part 1.4 Supplementary rules for the use of lightweight aggregate concrete;Part 1.5 Supplementary rules for the use of unbonded and external prestressing tendons;Part 1.6 Supplementary rules for plain or lightly reinforced concrete structures;Part 2.0 Reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges;Part 3.0 Concrete foundations;Part 4.0 Liquid retaining and containment structures.All Eurocodes follow a common editorial style. The codes contain ‘Principles’ and‘Application rules’. Principles are general statements, definitions, requirements and sometimes analytical models. All designs must comply with the Principles, and no alternative is permitted. Application rules are rules commonly adopted in design. They follow the Principles and satisfy their requirements. Alternative rules may be used provided that compliance with the Principles can be demonstrated.Some parameters in Eurocodes are designated by | _ | , commonly referred to as boxed values. The boxed values in the Codes are indicative guidance values. Each member state is required to fix the boxed value applicable within its jurisdiction. Such information would be found in the National Application Document (NAD) which is published as part of each ENV.There are also other purposes for NADs. NAD is meant to provide operational information to enable the ENV to be used. For certain aspects of the design, the ENV may refer to national standards or to CEN standard in preparation or ISO standards. The NAD is meant to provide appropriate guidance including modifications required to maintain compatibility between the documents. Very occasionally the NAD might rewrite particular clauses of the code in the interest of safety or economy. This is however rare.1.3 Scope of the ManualThe range of structures and structural elements covered by the Manual is limited to building structures that do not rely on bending in columns for their resistance to horizontal forces and are also non-sway. This will be found to cover the vast majority of all reinforced and prestressed concrete building structures. In using the Manual the following should be noted:• The Manual has been drafted to comply with ENV 1992-1-1 together with the UK NAD• Although British Standards have been referenced as loading codes in Sections 3 and 6,to comply with the UK NAD, the Manual can be used in conjunction with other loading codes • The structures are braced and non-sway• The concrete is of normal weight• The structure is predominantly in situ• Prestressed concrete members have bonded or unbonded internal tendons• The Manual can be used in conjunction with all commonly used materials in construction; however the data given are limited to the following:– concrete up to characteristic cylinder strength of 50N/mm2 (cube strength 602N/mm)– high-tensile reinforcement with characteristic strength of 4602N/mm– mild-steel reinforcement with characteristic strength of 2502N/mm– prestressing tendons with 7-wire low-relaxation (Class 2) strands• High ductility (Class H) has been assumed for:– all ribbed bars and grade 250 bars, and– ribbed wire welded fabric in wire sizes of 6mm or over• Normal ductility (Class N) has been assumed for plain or indented wire welded fabric.For structures or elements outside this scope EC2 should be used.1.4 Contents of the ManualThe Manual covers the following design stages:• gene ral principles that govern the design of the layout of the structure• initial sizing of members• estimating of quantities of reinforcement and prestressing tendons• final design of members.2 General principlesThis section outlines the general principles that apply to both initial and final design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete building structures, and states the design parameters that govern all design stages.2.1 GeneralOne engineer should be responsible for the overall design, including stability, and should ensure the compatibility of the design and details of parts and components even where some or all of the design and details of those parts and components are not made by the same engineer.The structure should be so arranged that it can transmit dead, wind and imposed loads in a direct manner to the foundations. The general arrangement should ensure a robust and stable structure that will not collapse progressively under the effects of misuse or accidental damage to any one element.The engineer should consider engineer site constraints, buildability2, maintainability and decommissioning.The engineer should take account of his responsibilities as a ‘Designer’ under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations.32.2 StabilityLateral stability in two orthogonal directions should be provided by a system of strongpoints within the structure so as to produce a braced non-sway structure, in which the columns will not be subject to significant sway moments. Strongpoints can generally be provided by the core walls enclosing the stairs, lifts and service ducts. Additional stiffness can be provided by shear walls formed from a gable end or from some other external or internal subdividing wall. The core and shear walls should preferably be distributed throughout the structure and so arranged that their combined shear centre is located approximately on the line of the resultant in plan of the applied overturning forces. Where this is not possible, the resulting twisting moments must be considered when calculating the load carried by each strongpoint. These walls should generally be of reinforced concrete not less than 180mm thick to facilitate concreting, but they may be of 215mm brickwork or 190mm solid blockwork properly tied and pinned up to the framing for low- to medium-rise buildings.Strongpoints should be effective throughout the full height of the building. If it is essential for strongpoints to be discontinuous at one level, provision must be made to transfer the forces toother vertical components.It is essential that floors be designed to act as horizontal diaphragms, particularly if precast units are used.Where a structure is divided by expansion joints each part should be structurally independent and designed to be stable and robust without relying on the stability of adjacent sections.2.3 RobustnessAll members of the structure should be effectively tied together in the longitudinal, transverse and vertical directions.A well-designed and well-detailed cast-in situ structure will normally satisfy the detailed tying requirements set out in subsection 5.11.Elements whose failure would cause collapse of more than a limited part of the structure adjacent to them should be avoided. Where this is not possible, alternative load paths should be identified or the element in question strengthened.2.4 Movement jointsMovement joints may need to be provided to minimize the effects of movements caused by, for example, shrinkage, temperature variations, creep and settlement.The effectiveness of movement joints depends on their location. Movement joints should divide the structure into a number of individual sections, and should pass through the whole structure above ground level in one plane. The structure should be framed on both sides of the joint. Some examples of positioning movement joints in plan are given in Fig. 2.1.Movement joints may also be required where there is a significant change in the type of foundation or the height of the structure. For reinforced concrete frame structures in UK conditions, movement joints at least 25mm wide should normally be provided at approximately 50m centres both longitudinally and transversely. In the top storey and for open buildings and exposed slabs additional joints should normally be provided to give approximately 25m spacing. Joint spacing in exposed parapets should be approximately 12m.Joints should be incorporated in the finishes and in the cladding at the movement joint locations.2.5 Fire resistance and durabilityFor the required period of fire resistance (prescribed in the Building Regulations), the structure should:• have adequate loadbearing capacity• limit the temperature rise on the far face by sufficient insulation, and• have sufficient integrity to prevent the formation of crack s that will allow the passage of fire and gases.Fig. 2.1 Location of movement jointsThe design should take into account the likely deterioration of the structure and its components in their environment having due regard to the anticipated level of maintenance. The following inter-related factors should be considered:• the required performance criteria• the expected environmental conditions• the composition, properties and performance of materials• the shape of members and detailing• the quality of workmanship• any protective measure• the likely maintenance during the intended life.Concrete of appropriate quality with adequate cover to the reinforcement should be specified. The above requirements for durability and fire resistance may dictate sizes for members greater than those required for structural strength alone.3 Design principles – reinforced concrete3.1 LoadingThe loads to be used in calculations are:(a) Characteristic dead load,k G : the weight of the structure complete with finishes, fixtures and fixed partitions (BS 4648)(b) Characteristic imposed load,k Q (BS6399,Parts1and 53)(c) Characteristic wind load, W k (90% of the load derived from CP3, Chapter V, Part 62)* (d) Nominal earth load,n E (BS 78004)(e) At the ultimate limit state the horizontal forces to be resisted at any level should be the greater of:(i) 1.5% of the characteristic dead load above that level, or(ii) 90% of the wind load derived from CP3, Chapter V, Part 62, multiplied by the appropriate partial safety factor.The horizontal forces should be distributed between the strongpoints according to their stiffness.In using the above documents the following modifications should be noted:(f) The imposed floor loads of a building should be treated as one load to which the reduction factors given in BS 6399: Part 1:51996are applicable.(g) Snow drift loads obtained from BS 6399: Part 3:51998 should be multiplied by 0.7 and treated in a similar way to an imposed load and not as an accidental load.3.2 Limit statesThis Manual adopts the limit-state principle and the partial factor format of EC2.3.2.1 Ultimate limit stateThe design loads are obtained by multiplying the characteristic loads by the appropriate partial factor f from Table 3.1.The ‘adverse’ and ‘beneficial’ factors should be used so as to produce the most onerous condition.3.2.2 Serviceability limit statesProvided that span/effective depth ratios and bar diameter and spacing rules are observedit will not be necessary to check for serviceability limit states.fThe Table uses the simplified combination permitted in EC2.†For pressures arising from an accidental head of water at ground level a partial factor of 1.15 may be used.3.3 Material and design stressesDesign stresses are given in the appropriate sections of the Manual. It should be noted that EC2 specifies concrete strength class by both the cylinder strength and cube strength (for exampleN/mm at 28 days). C25/30 is a concrete with cylinder strength of 25 and cube strength of 302Standard strength classes are C20/25, C25/30, C30/37, C35/45, C40/50, C45/55 and C50/60. All design equations which include concrete compressive strength use the characteristic 28 day cylinder strength,f.ckPartial factors for concrete are 1.5 for ultimate limit state and 1.0 for serviceability limit state. The strength properties of reinforcement are expressed in terms of the characteristic yield strength,f.ykPartial factors for reinforcement steel are 1.15 for ultimate limit state and 1.0 for serviceability limit state.4 Initial design – reinforced concrete4.1 IntroductionIn the initial stages of the design of building structures it is necessary, often at short notice,to produce alternative schemes that can be assessed for architectural and functional suitability and which can be compared for cost. They will usually be based on vague and limited information on matters affecting the structure such as imposed loads and nature of finishes, let alone firm dimensions, but it is nevertheless expected that viable schemes be produced on which reliable cost estimates can be based.It follows that initial design methods should be simple, quick, conservative and reliable. Lengthy analytical methods should be avoided.This section offers some advice on the general principles to be applied when preparing a scheme for a structure, followed by methods for sizing members of superstructures. Foundation design is best deferred to later stages when site investigation results can be evaluated.The aim should be to establish a structural scheme that is suitable for its purpose, sensibly economical, and not unduly sensitive to the various changes that are likely to be imposed as the overall design develops.Sizing of structural members should be based on the longest spans (slabs and beams) and largest areas of roof and/or floors carried (beams, columns, walls and foundations). The same sizes should be assumed for similar but less onerous cases – this saves design and costing time at this stage and is of actual benefit in producing visual and constructional repetition and hence, ultimately, cost benefits.Simple structural schemes are quick to design and easy to build. They may be complicated later by other members of the design team trying to achieve their optimum conditions, but a simple scheme provides a good ‘benchmark’ at the initial stage.Loads should be carried to the foundation by the shortest and most direct routes. In constructional terms, simplicity implies (among other matters) repetition; avoidance of congested, awkward or structurally sensitive details and straightforward temporary works with minimal requirements for unorthodox sequencing to achieve the intended behaviour of the completed structure.Standardized construction items will usually be cheaper and more readily available than purpose-made items.4.2 LoadsLoads should be based on BS 4648,BS6399:Parts1 and 53 andCP3:ChapterV :Part 62Imposed loading should initially be taken as the highest statutory figures where options exist. The imposed load reduction allowed in the loading code should not be taken advantage of in the initial design stage except when assessing the load on the foundations.Loading should be generous and not less than the following in the initial stages:floor finish (screed) 1.82kN/mmceiling and service load 0.52kN/mmAllowance for:demountable lightweight partitions* 1.02kN/mmblockwork partitions† 2.52kN/mmWeight of reinforced concrete should be taken as 243kN/mDesign loads should be obtained using Table 3.1.4.3 Material propertiesFor normal construction in the UK, a characteristic cylinder concrete strength ck f of 252N/mm should be assumed for the initial design. In areas with poor aggregates this may have to be reduced.For UK steels a characteristic strength yk f of 4602N/mm should be used for high-tensile reinforcement and 2502N/mm for mild steel.4.4 Structural form and framingThe following measures should be adopted:(a) provide stability against lateral forces and ensure braced construction by arranging suitable shear walls deployed symmetrically wherever possible(b) adopt a simple arrangement of slabs, beams and columns so that loads are carried to the foundations by the shortest and most direct routes(c) allow for movement joints (see subsection 2.4)(d) choose an arrangement that will limit the span of slabs to 5m to 6m and beam spans to 8m to l0m on a regular grid; for flat slabs restrict column spacings to 8m(e) adopt a minimum column size of 300mm × 300mm or equivalent area(f) provide a robust structure.The arrangement should take account of possible large openings for services and problems with foundations, e.g. columns immediately adjacent to site boundaries may require balanced or other special foundations.4.5 Fire resistance and durabilityThe size of structural members may be governed by the requirement of fire resistance and may also be affected by the cover necessary to ensure durability. Table 4.1 shows the minimum practical member sizes for different periods of fire resistance and the cover to the main reinforcement required for continuous members in dry and humid environments without frost. For other exposure classes, cover should be increased. For simply supported members, sizes and cover should be increased (see Section 5 and Appendix C).4.6 StiffnessTo provide adequate stiffness, the effective depths of beams, slabs and the waist of stairs should not be less than those derived from Table 4.2.Beams should be of sufficient depth to avoid the necessity for excessive compression reinforcement and to ensure that economical amounts of tension and shear reinforcement are provided. This will also facilitate the placing of concrete.*To be treated as imposed loads.†To be treated as dead load s when the layout is fixed.Table 4.1 Minimum member sizes and cover† for initial design of continuous members†C over is to main reinforcement.Table 4.2 Basic ratios of span/effective depth for initial design (yk f = 4602N/mm )1. For two-way spanning slabs (supported on beams), the check on the ratio of span/effective depth should be carried out on the shorter span. For flat slabs, the longer span should be taken.2. For flanged sections with the ratio of the flange to the rib width greater than 3, the Table value should be multiplied by 0.8.3. For members, other than flat slab panels, which support partitions liable to be damaged by excessive deflection of the member, and where the span exceeds 7m, the Table value should be multiplied by 7/span.4. For flat slabs where the greater span exceeds 8.5m, the Table value should be multiplied by 8.5/span.第一章引言和适用范围1.1手册的作用这本手册为设计钢筋和预应力混凝土建筑结构提供了指导。

附录(一)外文原文4.2.1.1 C ement Test by Sieve No. 170The fineness of cement affects the quality of the concrete industry in general. A big cement particle cannot completely react with water as water cannot reach a remaining core in the cement particle. The water propagates through the cement particles and they start to dehydrate, which causes an increase in temperature, which is the main reason for the forming of hair cracks and preventing stabilization of cement volume. As a result, an increase in the cement particle size reduces the strength of the same cement content and increasing the fineness of the cement will improve the workability,cohesion, and durability with time and decrease the water moving upward to the concrete surface.Figure 4.1, from Neville’s book (1983), presents the relation between concrete strength and the concrete fineness at different ages. To perform this test, take a sample of 50 g of cement and shake it in a closed glass bottle for two minutes and then revolve the sample gently using dry bar. Put the sample in a closed bottle and leaveit for two minutes. Put the sample in 170 sieve (90 microns) and move it, shakingthe sieve horizontally and rotationally, then confirm finishing the sieve test when the rate of passing cement particles is not more than 0.5 g/min during the sieve process. Remove the fines carefully from the bottom of the sieve using a smooth brush. Then, collect and weigh the remaining particles on the sieve (W1).Repeat the same test with another sample. Then the residual weight for the second test is obtained (W2). Calculate the values of the remaining samples throughR1 = (W1/50) ×100R2 = (W2/50) ×100The ratio (R) is calculated by taking the average of R1 and R2 to the nearest 0.1% and, in the case of deviating results of the two samples, more than 1%. Do the test a third time and take the average of the three results.You can accept or refuse the cement based on the following condition:For Portland cement t •he R must not exceed than 10%.•For rapid hardening Portland cement the R must not exceed 5%.4.2.1.2 Initial and Final Setting Times of CementPaste Using Vicat ApparatusThe objective of this test is to define the time for initial and final setting of the paste of water and cement with standard consistency by using a Vicat apparatus and determinewhether the cement is expired or can be used.The initial setting is the required time to set and after that concrete cannot be poured or formed; the final setting time is the time required for the concrete to be hardened.Vicat apparatus (Figure 4.2) consists of a carrier with needle acting under a prescribed weight. The parts move vertically without friction and are not subject to erosionor corrosion. The paste mold is made from a metal or hard rubber or plastic likea cut cone with depth of 40 ±2 mm and the internal diameter of the upper face 70 ±5 mm and lower face 80 ±5 mm and provides a template of glass or similar materialsin the softer surface. Its dimensions are greater than the dimensions of the mold.The needle is used to determine the initial setting time in a steel cylinder with effective length 50 ±1 mm and diameter 1.13 ±0.5 mm. The needle measuring timeis in the form of a cylinder with length of 30 ±1 mm and diameter 1.13 ±0.5 mm andheld by a 5 mm diameter ring at the free end to achieve distance between the end of the needle and the ring of 0.5 mm.The test starts by taking a sample weighing about 400 g and placing it on an impermeable surface and then adding 100 ml of water and recording zero measurementfrom the time of adding water to the cement and then mixing for 240 + 5 secondson the impermeable surface.To determine the initial setting time and calibrate the device until the needle reaches the base of the mold, then adjust the measuring device to zero and return needle to its original place.Fill the mold with cement paste with standard consistency and troll the surface,then put the mold for a short time in a place that has the the temperature and humidity required for the test.Specific Surface (Wagner)-m2/kg365 days90 days28 days7 days20150 200 250 300304050Compressive Strength, MpaTransfer the mold to the apparatus under the needle, and then make the needleslowly approach the surface until it touches the paste’s surface, stop it in place fora second or two seconds to avoid impact of primary speed, then allow the moving parts to implement the needle vertically in the paste.Grading depends on when the needle stops penetrating or after 30 seconds, whichever is earlier, and indicates the distance between the mold base and the end of the needle, as well as the time start from the zero level measurement.Repeat the process of immersing the needle in the same paste in different locations with the distance between the immersing point and the edge of the mold orbetween two immersing points not less 10 mm after about 10 minutes, and clean the needle immediately after each test.Record time is measured from zero up to 5 ±1 mm from the base of the mold as the initial setting time to the nearest 5 minutes. Ensuring the accuracy of measurement of time between tests reduces embedment and the fluctuation of successivetests. The needle is used to identify the final time of setting; follow the same stepsas in determining time of initial setting and increase the period between embedment tests to 30 minutes.Record the time from zero measurement until embedment of the needle to a distance of 0.5 mm, which will be the final setting time. Control the impact of theneedle on the surface of the sample so the final setting time presents the effect ofthe needle. To enhance the test’s accuracy reduce the time between embedment tests and examine the fluctuation of these successive tests. Record the final setting timeto the nearest 5 mm.According to the Egyptian specifications the initial setting time must not be lessthan 45 minutes for all types of cement except the low heat cement, for which the initial setting time must not be less 60 minutes. The final setting time must be shorter than 10 hours for all types of cement.4.2.1.3 D ensity of CementThe purpose of this test is to determine the density of cement by identifying the weight and unit volume of the material by using the Le Chatelier density bottle. The determination of the cement density is essential for concrete mix design and to control its quality. This test follows specifications of the American Society for Testingand Materials, ASTM C188-84.The Le Chatelier device is a standard round bottle. Its shape and dimensions are shown in Figure 4.3. This bottle must have all the required dimensions, lengths, and uniform degradation and accuracy.The glass that is used in the Le Chatelier bottle must be of high quality and freefrom any defects. It should not interact with chemicals and have high resistance to heat and appropriate thickness to have a high resistance to crushing. Measurements start at the bottle’s neck and go from zero to 1 mL and from 18 to 24 mL with accuracyto 0.1 mL. Each bottle must have a number to distinguish it from any other.Write on the bottle the standard temperature and the capacity in millimeters over the highest point of grading.Processed sample cement weighing about 64 g to the nearest 0.05 g must be tested.Fill the bottle with kerosene free from water and oil whose density is at least 62 API. Up to point gradations between zero and 1 mL, dry the inner surface of the bottle at the highest level of kerosene if necessary, and use rubber on the surface of the table used for the test when filling the bottle.The bottle, which is filled with kerosene, is placed in a water bath and the firstreading to kerosene level is recorded. To record the first reading correctly install the bottle in the water bath vertically. Put a cement sample weighing 64 g with accuracy to 0.05 g inside the bottle with small batches at the same temperature of kerosene, taking into account when putting the cement inside the bottle to avoid cement droppingout or its adhesion on the internal surfaces of the bottle at the highest level. The bottle can be placed on the vibrating machine when putting the cement inside the bottle to expedite the process and prevent adhesion of granulated cement with the internal surfaces of the bottle.After laying the cement inside the bottle, put a cap on the bottle mouth and then spin diagonally on the surface so as to expel the air between the granules of cement, and continue moving the bottle until the emergence of air bubbles stops from the kerosene surface inside the bottle.Put the bottle in the water bath and then take the final reading, and record the reading at the lower surface of kerosene so as to avoid the impact of surface tension. For the first and final readings, make sure that the bottle is placed in a water bath with constant temperature for a period not to exceed the difference in temperature between the first and final readings of about 0.2°C.The difference between the first and final reading is the volume of the moving liquid by the cement sample.The volume of the moving liquid = final reading –first reading4.2.1.4 D efine Cement Fineness by Using Blaine ApparatusThis test is used to determine the surface area by comparing the test sample with the specific reference. The greater surface area increases the speed of concrete hardening and obtains early strength. This test determines the acceptance of the cement. There are many tests to define cement fineness and one is a Blaine apparatus as stated in many codes such as the Egyptian code.This test depends on calculating the surface area by comparing the sample test and the reference sample using a Blaine apparatus to determine the time required to pass a definite quantity of air inside a cement layer with defined dimensions and porosity.A Blaine apparatus is shown in Figure 4.4. The first step in testing is to determine the volume of the cement layer using mercury in the ring device of the Blaine apparatus.Cement is then added and by knowing the weight of the cement before andafter adding it as well as the mercury density, the volume of the cement layer can be calculated.V = W1 –W2/DmwhereV is the volume of cement layer, cm3.Fi gure 4.4 Blaine apparatus.Concrete Materials and Tests 111W1 is the weight of mercury in grams that fills the device to nearest (0.0 g).W2 is the weight of mercury in grams that fills the device to nearest (0.0 g).Dm is the density of the mercury (g/cm3). From tables, define the mercury densityat the average temperature of the test by using the manometer in the Blaine apparatus.From the previous equation:Sr is the reference cement surface area, (cm2/g).Dr is the reference cement density (g/cm3).Pr is the porosity of the cement layer.Ir is the air visciosity in the average temperature for reference cement test.Tr is the average time required for the manometer liquid to settle in two marksto nearest 0.2 sec.K is the Blaine apparatus constant factor defined by the previous equation by knowing the time needed to pass the air in the sample.To retest the sample, we calculate its surface area by using the following equation:Sc = Sr(Dr/Dc) *(Tc/Tr)^0.5According to the Egyptian code, the acceptance and refusal of cement is based on limites shown in Table 4.2.Table 4.2Cement Fineness Acceptance andRefusal LimitsCement TypesCement Fineness Not LessThan cm2/gmOrdinary Portland 2750Rapid hardening Portland 3500Sulfate resistant Portland 2800Low heat Portland 2800White Portland 2700Mixing sand Portland 30004100 fineness 4100Slag Portland 25004.2.1.5 C ompressive Strength of Cement MortarsThe cement mortar compressive strength test is performed using standard cubesof cement mortar mixed manually and compacted mechanically using a standard vibrating machine. This test is considered a refusal or acceptance determination. Compressive strength is one of the most important properties of concrete. The concrete gains its compressive strength from cement paste as a result of the interactionbetween the cement and water added to the mix. So it is critical to make sure that the cement used is the appropriate compressive strength. This test should be done to all types of cement.Needed for the test are stainless steel sieves with standard square holes opened 850 or 650 microns. Stainless steel does not react with cement and weighs 210 g. The vibrating machine has a weight of about 29 kg and the speed of vibration is about 12,000 vertical vibrations + 400 RPM and the moment of vibrating column is0.016 N.m.The mold of the test is a cube 70.7 ±1 mm, the surface area for each surface is500 mm2, the acceptable tolerance in leveling is about 0.03 mm, and the tolerance between paralleling for each face is about 0.06 mm.The mold is manufactured from materials that will not react with the cement mortar, and the base of the mold is made from steel that can prevent leaks of the mortaror water from the mold. The base is matched with the vibrating machine.The sand should contain a percentage of silica not less than 90% by weight andmust be washed and dried very well. Moreover, the humidity of the sand must not be more than 0.1% by weight for it to pass through a sieve with openings of 850 microns, and for it to pass through the standard sieve size of 600 microns it should not have more than 10% humidity by weight (Tables 4.3 and 4.4).After performing the tests, the standard cubes will be crushed within one day,which is about 24 ±0.5 hours, and three days in the limits of 72 ±1 hour, and afterseven days within 168 ±1 hour, and after 28 days within 672 ±1 hour.Table 4.5 illustrates the limits of acceptance and rejection according to the cement mortar compressive strength. Note from the table that there is more than one typeof high-alumina cement as the types vary according to the percentage of oxide alumina.The compressive strength after 28 days will not be considered accepted orrejected unless clearly stated in the contract between the supplier and the client(二)外文原文翻译4.2.1.1水泥试验筛170号水泥的优质一般影响混凝土行业的质量。

Earthquake Resistant Structural Systems -土木工程外文翻译3Building Engineering Ⅱ: Building Structures and SeismicResistance3.1Text3.1.1PassageEarthquake ResistantStructural Systems1Rigid Frame StructuresRigid frame structures typically comprise floor diaphragms supported on beams which link to continuous columns (Figure 3-1). The joints between beam and columns are usually considered to be “rigid”. The frames are expected to carry the gravity loads through the flexural action of the beams and the prop ping action of the columns. Negative moments are induced in the beam adjacent to the columns causing the mid-span positive moment to be significantly less than in a simply supported span. In structures in which gravity loads dictate the design, economies in member size that arise from this effect tend to be offset by the higher cost of the rigid joints.Figure 3-1 Rigidframe structureLateral loads, imposed within the plane of the frame, are resisted through the development of bending moments in the beams and columns. Framed buildings often employ moment resistant frames in two orthogonal directions, in which case the column elements are common to both frames.Rigid frame structures are well suited to accommodate high levels of inelastic deformation. When a capacity design approach is employed, it is usual to assign the end zones of the flexural beams to accept the post-elastic deformation expected, and to design the column members such that their dependable strength is in excess of the over-strength capacity of the beam hinges, thereby ensuring they remain within their elastic response range regardless of the intensity of ground shaking. Rigid frame structures are, however, often quite flexible. When they aredesigned to be fully ductile, special provisions are often needed to prevent the premature onset of damage to non-structural components.Rigid frame construction is ideally suited for reinforced concrete building because of the inherent rigidity of reinforced concrete joints. The rigid frame form is also used for steel framebuildings. But moment resistant connections in steel tend to be costly. The sizes of the columns and girders at any level of a rigid-frame are directly influenced by the magnitude of the external shear at that level, and they therefore increase toward the base. Consequently, the design of the floor framing can not be repetitive as it is in some braced frames. A further result is that sometimes it is not possible in the lowest storeys to accommodate the required depth of girder within the normal ceiling space.While rigid frames of a typical scale that serve alone to resist lateral loading have an economic height limit of about 25 storeys, smaller scale rigid frames in the form of a perimeter tube, or typically scaled rigid frames in combination with shear walls or braced bents, can be economic up to much greater heights.2Infilled Frame StructuresInfilled frames (Figure 3-2) are the most usual form of construction for tall buildings of up to 30 storeys in height. Column and girder framing of reinforced concrete, or sometimes steel, is infilled by panels of brickwork, or cast-in-place concrete.Figure 3-2 InfilledframeWhen an infilled frame is subjected to lateral loading, the infill behaves effectively as a strut along its compression diagonal to brace the frame. Because the infills serve also as external walls or internal partitions, the system is an economical way of stiffening and strengthening the structure.The complex interactive behavior of the infill in the frame, and the rather random quality of masonry, had made it difficult to predicate with accuracy the stiffness and strength of an infilled frame. For these reasons, the use of the infills for bracing buildings has mainly been supplementary to the rigid frame action of concrete frames.3Shear WallsA shear wall is a vertical structural element that resists lateral forces in the plane of the wall through shear and bending. The high in planstiffness and strength of concrete and masonry walls make them ideally suitable for bracing building as shear walls.A shear wall acts as a beam cantilevered out of the ground or foundation9 and, just as with a beam, part of its strength derives from its depth. Figure 3-3 shows two examples of a shear wall, one in a simple one-storey building and another in a multistorey building. In Figure 3-3a, the shear walls are oriented in one direction, so only lateral forces in this direction can be resisted. The roof serves as the horizontal diaphragm and must also be designed to resist the lateral loads and transfer them to the shear walls.a) End shear walls and interior shear wall b)Interior shear walls forbracing in two directionFigure 3-3 Shear wallFigure 3-3a also shows an important aspect of shear walls in particular and vertical elements in general. This is the aspect of symmetry that has a bearing on whether torsional effects will be produced. The shear walls in Figure 3-3a show the shear walls symmetrical in the plane of loading.Figure 3-3b illustrates a common use of shear walls at the interior of a multi-storey building. Because walls enclosing stairways, elevator shafts, and mechanical chases are mostly solid and run the entire height of the building, they are often used for shear walls. Although not as efficient from a strictly structural point of view, interior shear walls do leave the exterior of the building open for windows.Notice that in Figure 3-3b there are shear walls in both directions, which is a more realistic situation because both wind and earthquake forces need to be resisted in both directions. In this diagram, the two shear walls are symmetrical in one direction, but the single shear wall produces a nonsymmetric condition in the other since it is off center. Shear walls do not need to be symmetrical in a building, but symmetry is preferred to avoid torsional effects. If, in low-to medium-rise building, shear walls are combined with frames, it is reasonable to assume that the shear wall attract all the lateral loading so that the frame may be designed for only gravity loading. It is essentially important in shear wall structures to try to plan the wall layout so that the lateral load tensile stresses are suppressed by the gravity load stresses. This allows them to be designed to have only the minimum reinforcement.Since shear walls are generally both stiff and can be inherently robust, it is practical to design them to remain nominally elastic under design intensity loadings, particularly in regions of low or moderate seismicity. Under increased loadingintensities, post-elastic deformations will develop within the lower portion of the wall (generally considered to extend over a height of twice the wall length above the foundation support system).Good post-elastic response can be readilyachieved within this region of reinforced concrete or masonry shear walls through the provision of adequate confinement of the principal reinforcing steel and the prohibition oflap splices of reinforcing bars. Shear wall structures are generally quite stiff and, as such interstorey drift problems are rare and generally easily contained. The shear wall tends to act as a rigid body rotating about a plastic hinge which forms at the base of the wall. Overall structural deformation is thus a function of the wall rotation. Inter-storey drift problems which do occur are limited to the lower few floors.A major shortcoming with shear walls within buildings is that their size provides internal (or external) access barriers which may contravene the architectural requirements. This problem canbe alleviated by coupling adjacent more slender shear walls so a coupled shear wall structure is formed. The coupling beams then become shear links between the two walls and with careful detailing can provide a very effective, ductile control mechanism (Figure 3-4).Figure 3-4 Coupled shear wallstructure4Braced FramesA braced frame is a truss system of the concentric or eccentric type in which the lateral forces are resisted through axial stresses in the members. Just as with a truss, the braced frame depends on diagonal members to provide a load path for lateral forces from each building element to the foundation. Figure 3-5 shows a simple one-storey braced frame. At one end of the building two bays are braced and at the other end only one bay is braced. This building is only braced in one direction and the diagonal member may be either in tension or compression,depending on which way the force is applied.a)Single story braced buildingb) Multistory bracedbuilding Figure 3-5Braced frameFigure 3-5b shows two methods of bracing a multistorey building. A single diagonal compression member in one bay can be used to brace against lateral loads coming from either direction. Alternately, tension diagonals can be used to accomplish the same result, but they must be run both ways to account for the load coming from either direction.Braced framing can be placed on the exterior or interior of a building, and may be placed in one structural bay or several. Obviously, a braced frame can present design problems for windows and doorways, but it is a very efficientand rigid lateral force resisting system.Two major shortcomings of braced systems are that their inclined diagonal orientation oftenconflicts with conventional occupancy use patterns; and secondly they often require careful detailing to avoid large local torsional eccentricities being introduced at the connections with the diagonal brace being offset from the frame node.5Wall-frame StructuresWhen shear walls are combined with rigid frames (Figure 3-6), the walls, which tend to deflect in a flexural configuration, and the frames, which tend to deflect in a shear mode, are constrained to adopt a common shape by the horizontal rigidity of the girders and slabs. As a consequence, the walls and frames interact horizontally, especially at the top, to produce a stiffer and stronger structure. The interacting wall-frame combination is appropriate for buildings in the 40-to-60-storey range, well beyond of rigid frame or shear wall alone.Figure 3-6Wall-frame structureIn addition, less well-known feature of the wall- frame structure is that, in a carefully “tuned” structure, the shear in the frame can be made approximately uniform over the height, allowing the floor framing to be repetitive. Although the wall-frame structure is usually perceived as a concrete structural form, with shear walls and concrete frames, a steel counterpart using braced frames and steel rigid frames offers similar benefit of horizontal interaction. The braced frames behave with an overall flexural tendency to interact with the shear mode of the rigid frames.6Framed-Tube StructuresThe lateral resistance of framed-tube structures is provided by very stiff moment resisting frames that form a “tube” around the perimeter of the building. The frames consist of closely spaced column, 2~4m between centers, joined by deep spandrel girders (Figure 3-7). Although the tube carries all the lateral loading, the gravity load is shared between the tube and interior columns or walls. When lateral loading acts, the perimeter frames aligned in thedirection of loading act as the “web” of the massive tube cantilever, and those normal to the direction of the loading act as the “flanges”.Figure 3-7Frame-tube structureThe close spacing of the columns throughout the height of the structures is usually unacceptable at the entrance level. The columns are therefore merged, or terminated on a transfer beam, a few storeys above the base so that only a few, larger, more widely spaced columns continue to the base. The tube form was developed originally for buildings of rectangular plan; however, for other plan shapes, and has occasionally been used in circular and triangular configurations.The tube is suitable for both steel and reinforced construction and has been used for buildings ranging from 40 to more storeys. The highly repetitive pattern of the frames lends itself to prefabrication in steel, and to the use of rapidly gang forms in concrete, which make for rapid construction.The framed tube has been one of the most significant modern developments in high-rise structural form. It offers a relatively efficiently, easily constructed structure, appropriate for use up to the greatest of heights. Aesthetically, the tube’s externally evident form is regarded with mixed enthusiasm: some praise the logical clearly expressed structure while others criticize the girder-like façade as small-windowed and uninteresting repetitious.The tube structure’s structural efficiency, although high, still leaves scope for improvement because the “flange” frames tend to suffer from “shear lag”; this result in mid-face “flange” columns being less stresses than the corner columns and, therefore, not contributing as fully as they could to the flange action.7Tube-in-Tube or Hull-Core StructuresThis variation of the framed tube consists of an outer framed tube, the “hull” together with an internal elevator and service core (Figure 3-8). The hull and the inner core act jointly in resisting both gravity and lateral loading. In a steel structure the core may consist of braced frames, whereas in a concrete structure it wouldconsist of an assembly of shear walls.Figure 3-8Tube-in-tubeTo some extent, the outer framed tube and the inner core interact horizontally as the shear and flexural components of a wall-frame structure, with the benefit of increase lateral stiffness. However, the structural tube usually adopts a highly dominant role because of its much greater structural depth.8Braced-Tube StructuresAnother way of improving the efficiency of the framed tube, thereby increasing its potential for greater heights as well as allowing greater spacing between the columns, is to add diagonal bracing to the faces of the tube. This arrangement was first used in a steel structure in 1969, in Chicago’s John Hancock Building (Figure 3-9). Because the diagonal of a braced tube are connected to the columns at each intersection, they virtually eliminate the effects of shear lag in both the flange and web frames.As a result, the structure behaves under lateral loading more like a braced frame, with greatly diminished bending in the members of the frames. Consequently, the spacing of the columns can be larger and the depth of the spandrels less, thereby allowing larger size windows than in the conventional tube structure.Figure 3-9Braced-TubeStructuresIn the braced-tube structure the bracing contributes also to the improved performance of the tube in carrying gravity loading: differences between gravity load stresses in the columns are evened out by the braces transferring loading from the more highly to the less highly stressed columns.9Bundled-Tube StructuresThis structural form has been used for the Sears Tower in Chicago. The Sears Tower consists of four parallel rigid steel frames in each orthogonal direction, interconnected to form nine “bundled” tubes. As in the single-tube structure, the frames in the direction of lateral loading serves as “webs” of the vertical cantilever, with the normal frame acting as “flanges”.The introduction of internal webs greatly reduces the shear lag in the flanges; consequently their columns are more evenly stressed than in the single-tube structure, and their contribution to the lateral stiffness is great. This allows columns of the frames to be spaced further apart and to be less obtrusive. In the Sears Tower, advantage was taken of the bundled form to discontinue some of the tubes, and so reduce the plan of the building at stages up to the height.3.1.2New Words and Expressionsbraced frame支撑框架braced-tube桁架筒bundled-tube束筒couplingbeam 连梁coupledshear wall 联肢墙framedtube 框筒inter-storeydrift 层间位移propping[ 'prɔpiŋ ] n. 支撑rigid frame框架shear lag 剪力滞后spandrel [ 'spændrəl ] n.上下层窗间墙stairway [ 'stεəwei ] n.楼梯transfer beam 转换粱tube-in-tube / hull-core 筒中筒wall-frame structure 框架-剪力墙结构3.1.3Exercises1Please name the types of earthquake resistant structural systems.2How does a rigid frame structureresist the gravity load and lateralload? 3 Why are shear walls in both directions preferred?4 How are the loads shared between frame and tube in a framed-tube structure?3.2Reading Materials3.2.1Passage OneReinforced ConcreteStructuresConcrete and reinforced concrete are used as building materials in every country. In many, including the United States and Canada, reinforced concrete is a dominant structural material in engineered construction. The universal nature of reinforced concrete construction stems from thewide availability of reinforcing bars and the constituents of concrete, gravel, sand, and cement, the relatively simple skills required in concrete construction, and the economy of reinforced concrete compared to other forms of construction. Concrete and reinforced concrete are used in bridges, buildings of all sorts, underground structures, water tanks, television towers, offshore oil exploration and production structures, dams, and even in ships.1Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. As a result, cracks develop whenever loads, or restrained shrinkage or temperature changes, give rise to tensile stresses in excess of the tensile strength of the concrete. In the plain concrete beam, the moments due to applied loads are resisted by an internal tension-compression couple involving tension in the concrete. Such a beam fails very suddenly and completely when the first crack forms. In a reinforced concrete beam, steel bars are embedded in the concrete in such a way that the tension forces needed for moment equilibrium after the concrete cracks can be developed in the bars.The construction of a reinforced concrete member involves building a form or mold in the shape of the member being built. The form must be strong enough to support the weight and hydrostatic pressure of the wet concrete, and any forces applied to it by workers, concrete buggies, wind, and so on. The reinforcement is placed in this form and held in place during the concreting operation. After the concrete has hardened, the forms are removed.2Factors Affecting Choice of Concrete for aStructureThe choice of whether a structure should be built of concrete, steel, masonry, or timber depends on the availability of materials and on a number of value decisions.(1)EconomyFrequently, the foremost consideration is the overall cost of the structure. This is, of course, a function of the costs of the materials and the labor necessary to erect them. Frequently, however, the overall cost is affected as much or more by the overall construction time since the contractor and owner must allocate money to carry out the construction and will not receive a return on this investment until the building isready for occupancy. As a result, financial savings due to rapid construction may more than offset increased material costs. Any measures the designer can take to standardize the design and forming will generally pay off in reduced overall costs.In many cases the long-term economy of the structure may be more important than the first cost. As a result, maintenance and durability are important considerations.(2)Suitability of Material for Architectural andStructural FunctionA reinforced concrete system frequently allows the designer to combine the architectural and structural functions. Concrete has the advantage that it is placed in a plastic condition and is given the desired shape and texture by means of the forms and the finishing techniques. This allows such elements as flat plates or other types of slabs to serve as load-bearing elements while providing the finished floor and ceiling surfaces. Similarly, reinforced concrete wails can provide architecturally attractive surfaces in addition to having the ability to resist gravity, wind, or seismic loads. Finally, the choice of size or shape is governed by the designer and not bythe availability of standard manufactured members.(3)Fire ResistanceThe structure in a building must withstand the effects of a fire and remain standing while the building is evacuated and the fire is extinguished.A concrete building inherently has a 1- to 3-hour fire rating without special fireproofing or other details. Structural steel or timber buildings must befireproofed to attain similar fire ratings.(4)RigidityThe occupants of a building may be disturbed if their building oscillates in the wind or the floors vibrate as people walk by. Due to the greater stiffness and mass of a concrete structure, vibrations are seldom a problem.(5)Low MaintenanceConcrete members inherently require less maintenance than do structural steel or timber members. This is particularly true if dense, air-entrained concrete has been used for surfaces exposed to the atmosphere, and if care has been taken in the design to provide adequate drainage off and away from the structure.(6)Availability of MaterialsSand, gravel, cement, and concrete mixing facilities are very widely available, and reinforcing steel can be transported to most job sites more easily than can structural steel. As a result, reinforced concrete is frequently used in remote areas.On the other hand, there are a number of factors that may cause one to select a material other than reinforced concrete. These include: (1)Low Tensile StrengthAs stated earlier, the tensile strength of concrete is much lower than its compressive strength (about 1/10), and hence concrete is subject to cracking. In structural uses this is overcome by using reinforcement to carry tensile forces and limit crack widths to within acceptable values. Unless care is taken in design and construction, however, these cracks may be unsightly or may allow penetration of water.(2)Forms and ShoringThe construction of a cast-in-place structure involves three steps not encountered in the construction of steel or timber structures. These are the construction of the forms, the removal of these forms, and propping or shoring the new concrete to support its weight until its strength is adequate. Each of these steps involves labor and/or materials which are not necessary with other forms of construction.(3)Relatively Low Strength per Unit of Weightor VolumeThe compressive strength of concrete is roughly 5% to 10% that of steel, while its unit density is roughly 30% that of steel. As a result, a concrete structure requires a larger volume and a greater weight of material than does acomparable steel structure. As a result, long-span structures are often built from steel.(4)Time-dependent Volume ChangesBoth concrete and steel undergo approximately the same amount of thermal expansion and contraction. Because there is less mass of Steel to be heated or cooled, and because steel is a better conductor than concrete, a steel structure is generally affected by temperature changes to a greater extent than is a concrete structure. On the other hand, concrete undergoes drying shrinkage, which, if restrained, may cause deflections or cracking. Furthermore, deflections will tend to increase with time, possibly doubling, due to creep of the concrete under sustained loads.3Building CodesThe first set of building regulations for reinforced concrete were drafted under the leadership of Professor Morsch of the University of Stuttgart and were issued in Prussia in 1904. Design regulations were issued in Britain, France, Austria, and Switzerland between 1907 and 1909.The American Railway Engineering Association appointed a Committee on Masonry in 1890. In 1903 this committee presented specifications for Portland cement concrete. Between 1908 and 1910 a series of committee reports led to the Standard Building Regulations for the Use of Reinforced Concrete published in 1910 by the National Association of Cement Users which subsequently became the American Concrete Institute.A Joint Committee on Concrete and Reinforced Concrete was established in 1904 by the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society for Testing and Materials, the American Railway Engineering Association, and the Association of American Portland Cement Manufactures. This group was later joined by the American Concrete Institute. Between 1904 and 1910 the Joint Committee carried out research. A preliminary report issued in 1913 lists the more important papers and books on reinforced concrete published between 1898 and 1911. The final report of this committee was published in 1916. The history of reinforced concrete building codes in the United States wasreviewed in 1954 by Kerekes and Reid.The design and construction of buildings is regulated by municipal bylaws called building codes. These exist to protect the public health and safety. Each city and town is free to write or adopt its own building code, and in that city or town, only that particular code has legal status. Because of the complexity of building code writing, cities in the United States generally base their building codes on one of three model codes: the Uniform Building Code, the Standard Building Code, or the Basic Building Code. These codes cover such things as use and occupancy requirements, fire requirements, heating and ventilating requirements, and structural design.The definitive design specification for reinforced concrete buildings in North America is the Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI-318-95), which is explained in a Commentary.This code, generally referred to as the ACI Code, has been incorporated in most building codes in the United States and serves as the basis for comparable codes in Canada, New Zealand,Australia, and parts of Latin America. The ACI Code has legal status only if adopted in a local building code.Each nation or group of nations in Europe has its own building code for reinforced concrete. The CEB-FIP Model Code for Concrete Structures is intended to serve as the basis for future attempts to unify European codes. This code and the ACI Code are similar in many ways.3.2.2Passage TwoEarthquake Induced Vibration ofStructures1Seismicity and Ground MotionsThe most common cause of earthquakes is thought to be the violent slipping of rock masses along major geological fault lines in the Earth’s crust, or lithosphere. These fault lines divide the global crust into about 12 major tectonic plates, which are rigid, relatively cool slabs about 100km thick. Tectonic plates float on the molten mantle of the Earth and move relative to one another at the rate of 10 to 100mm/year.The basic mechanism causing earthquakes inthe plate boundary regions appears to be that the continuing deformation of the crustal structure eventually leads to stresses which exceed the material strength. A rupture will then initiate at some critical point along the fault line and willpropagate rapidly through the highly stressed material at the plate boundary. In some cases, the plate margins are moving away from one another. In those cases, molten rock appears from deep in the Earth to fill the gap, often manifesting itself as volcanoes. If the plates are pushing together, one plate tends to dive under the other and, depending on the density of the material, it may resurface in the form of mountains and valleys. In both these scenarios, there may be volcanoes and earthquakes at the plate boundaries, both being caused by the same mechanism of movement in the Earth's crust. Another possibility is that the plate boundaries will slide sideways past each other, essentially retaining the local surface area of the plate. It is believed that about three quarters of the world's earthquakes are accounted for by this rubbing-striking-slipping mechanism, with ruptures occurring on faults on boundaries between tectonic plates. Earthquake occurrence maps tend to outline the plate boundaries. Such earthquakes are referred to as interplate earthquakes.Earthquakes also occur at locations away。

Concrete BridgesConcrete is the most-used construction material for bridges in the United States, and indeed in the world. The application of prestressing to bridges has grown rapidly and steadily, beginning in 1949 with high-strength steel wires in the Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the Federal Highway Administration’s 1994 National Bridge Inventory data, from 1950 to the early 1990s, prestressed concrete bridges have gone from being virtually nonexistent to representing over 50 percent of all bridges built in the United States.Prestressing has also played an important role in extending the span capability of concrete bridges. By the late 1990s, spliced-girder spans reached a record 100 m (330 ft). Construction of segmental concrete bridges began in the United States in 1974.Curretly, close to 200 segmental concrete bridges have been built or are under construction, with spans up to 240 m (800 ft).Late in the 1970s, cable-stayed construction raised the bar for concrete bridges. By 1982, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, Florida, had set a new record for concrete bridges, with a main span of 365 m (1,200 ft). The next year, the Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida, extended the record to 400 m (1,300 ft).HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETECompressive StrengthFor many years the design of precast prestressed concrete girders was based on concrete compressive strengths of 34 to 41 MPa (5,000 to 6,000 psi). This strength level served the industry well and provided the basis for establishing the prestressed concrete bridge industry in the United States. In the 1990s the industry began to utilize higher concrete compressive strengths in design, and at the start of the new millennium the industry is poised to accept the use of concrete compressive strengths up to 70 MPa (10,000 psi).For the future, the industry needs to seek ways to effectively utilize even higher concrete compressive strengths. The ready-mixed concrete industry has been producing concretes with compressive strengths in excess of 70 MPa for over 20 years. Several demonstration projects have illustrated that strengths above 70 MPa can be achieved for prestressed concrete girders. Barriers need to be removed to allow the greater use of these materials. At the same time, owners, designers, contractors, and fabricators need to be more receptive to the use of higher-compressive-strength concretes.DurabilityHigh-performance concrete (HPC) can be specified as high compressive strength (e.g., in prestressed girders) or as conventional compressive strength with improveddurability (e.g., in cast-in-place bridge decks and substructures). There is a need to develop a better understanding of all the parameters that affect durability, such as resistance to chemical, electrochemical, and environmental mechanisms that attack the integrity of the material. Significant differences might occur in the long-term durability of adjacent twin structures constructed at the same time using identical materials. This reveals our lack of understanding and control of the parameters that affect durability. NEW MATERIALSConcrete design specifications have in the past focused primarily on the compressive strength. Concrete is slowly moving toward an engineered material whose direct performance can be altered by the designer. Material properties such as permeability, ductility, freeze-thaw resistance, durability, abrasion resistance, reactivity, and strength will be specified. The HPC initiative has gone a long way in promoting these specifications, but much more can be done. Additives, such a fibers or chemicals, can significantly alter the basic properties of concrete. Other new materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymer composites, nonmetallic reinforcement (glass fiber-reinforced and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, etc.), new metallic reinforcements, or high-strength steel reinforcement can also be used to enhance the performance of what is considered to be a traditional material. Higher-strength reinforcement could be particularly useful when coupled with high-strength concrete. As our natural resources diminish, alternative aggregate sources (e.g., recycled aggregate) and further replacement of cementitious materials with recycled products are being examined. Highly reactive cements and reactive aggregates will be concerns of the past as new materials with long-term durability become commonplace.New materials will also find increasing demand in repair and retrofitting. As the bridge inventory continues to get older, increasing the usable life of structures will become critical. Some innovative materials, although not economical for complete bridges, will find their niche in retrofit and repair.OPTIMIZED SECTIONSIn early applications of prestressed concrete to bridges, designers developed their own ideas of the best girder sections. The result is that each contractor used slightly different girder shapes. It was too expensive to design custom girders for each project.As a result, representatives for the Bureau of Public Roads (now FHWA), the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) (now AASHTO), and the Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) began work to standardize bridge girder sections. The AASHTO-PCI standard girder sections Types I through IV were developed in the late 1950s and Types V and VI in the early 1960s. There is no doubt that standardization of girders has simplified design, has led to wider utilization of prestressed concrete for bridges, and, more importantly, has led to reduction in cost.With advancements in the technology of prestressed concrete design and construction, numerous states started to refine their designs and to develop their own standard sections. As a result, in the late 1970s, FHWA sponsored a study to evaluate existing standard girder sections and determine the most efficient girders. This study concluded that bulb-tees were the most efficient sections. These sections could lead toreduction in girder weights of up to 35 percent compared with the AASHTO Type VI and cost savings up to 17 percent compared with the AASHTO-PCI girders, for equal span capability. On the basis of the FHWA study, PCI developed the PCI bulb-tee standard, which was endorsed by bridge engineers at the 1987 AASHTO annual meeting. Subsequently, the PCI bulb-tee cross section was adopted in several states. In addition, similar cross sections were developed and adopted in Florida, Nebraska, and the New England states. These cross sections are also cost-effective with high-strength concretes for span lengths up to about 60 m (200 ft).SPLICED GIRDERSSpliced concrete I-girder bridges are cost-effective for a span range of 35 to 90 m (120 to 300 ft). Other shapes besides I-girders include U, T, and rectangular girders, although the dominant shape in applications to date has been the I-girder, primarily because of its relatively low cost. A feature of spliced bridges is the flexibility they provide in selection of span length, number and locations of piers, segment lengths, and splice locations. Spliced girders have the ability to adapt to curved superstructure alignments by utilizing short segment lengths and accommodating the change in direction in the cast-in-place joints. Continuity in spliced girder bridges can be achieved through full-length posttensioning, conventional reinforcement in the deck, high-strength threaded bar splicing, or pretensioned strand splicing, although the great majority of applications utilize full-length posttensioning. The availability of concrete compressive strengths higher than the traditional 34 MPa (5,000 psi) significantly improves the economy of spliced girder designs, in which high flexural and shear stresses are concentrated near the piers. Development of standardized haunched girder pier segments is needed for efficiency in negative-moment zones. Currently, the segment shapes vary from a gradually thickening bottom flange to a curved haunch with constant-sized bottom flange and variable web depth.SEGMENTAL BRIDGESSegmental concrete bridges have become an established type of construction for highway and transit projects on constrained sites. Typical applications include transit systems over existing urban streets and highways, reconstruction of existing interchanges and bridges under traffic, or projects that cross environmentally sensitive sites. In addition, segmental construction has been proved to be appropriate for large-scale, repetitive bridges such as long waterway crossings or urban freeway viaducts or where the aesthetics of the project are particularly important.Current developments suggest that segmental construction will be used on a larger number of projects in the future. Standard cross sections have been developed to allow for wider application of this construction method to smaller-scale projects. Surveys of existing segmental bridges have demonstrated the durability of this structure type and suggest that additional increases in design life are possible with the use of HPC. Segmental bridges with concrete strengths of 55 MPa (8,000 psi) or more have been constructed over the past 5 years. Erection with overhead equipment has extended applications to more congested urban areas. Use of prestressed composite steel and concrete in bridges reduces the dead weight of the superstructure and offers increased span lengths.LOAD RATING OF EXISTING BRIDGESExisting bridges are currently evaluated by maintaining agencies using working stress, load factor, or load testing methods. Each method gives different results, for several reasons. In order to get national consistency, FHWA requests that all states report bridge ratings using the load factor method. However, the new AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) bridge design specifications are different from load factor method. A discrepancy exists, therefore, between bridge design and bridge rating.A draft of a manual on condition evaluation of bridges, currently under development for AASHTO, has specifications for load and resistance factor rating of bridges. These specifications represent a significant change from existing ones. States will be asked to compare current load ratings with the LRFD load ratings using a sampling of bridges over the next year, and adjustments will be proposed. The revised specifications and corresponding evaluation guidelines should complete the LRFD cycle of design, construction, and evaluation for the nation's bridges.LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSISThe goal of design and management of highway bridges is to determine and implement the best possible strategy that ensures an adequate level of reliability at the lowest possible life-cycle cost. Several recent regulatory requirements call for consideration of life-cycle cost analysis for bridge infrastructure investments. Thus far, however, the integration of life-cycle cost analysis with structural reliability analysis has been limited. There is no accepted methodology for developing criteria for life-cycle cost design and analysis of new and existing bridges. Issues such as target reliability level, whole-life performance assessment rules, and optimum inspection-repair-replacement strategies for bridges must be analyzed and resolved from a life-cycle cost perspective. To achieve this design and management goal, state departments of transportation must begin to collect the data needed to determine bridge life-cycle costs in a systematic manner. The data must include inspection, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation expenditures and the timing of these expenditures. At present, selected state departments of transportation are considering life-cycle cost methodologies and software with the goal of developing a standard method for assessing the cost-effectiveness of concrete bridges. DECKSCast-in-place (CIP) deck slabs are the predominant method of deck construction in the United States. Their main advantage is the ability to provide a smooth riding surface by field-adjustment of the roadway profile during concrete placement. In recent years automation of concrete placement and finishing has made this system cost-effective. However, CIP slabs have disadvantages that include excessive differential shrinkage with the supporting beams and slow construction. Recent innovations in bridge decks have focused on improvement to current practice with CIP decks and development of alternative systems that are cost-competitive, fast to construct, and durable. Focus has been on developing mixes and curing methods that produce performance characteristics such as freeze-thaw resistance, high abrasion resistance, low stiffness, and low shrinkage, rather than high strength. Full-depth precast panels have the advantages of significant reduction of shrinkage effects and increased construction speed and have been used in states with high traffic volumes for deck replacement projects. NCHRP Report 407 onrapid replacement of bridge decks has provided a proposed full-depth panel system with panels pretensioned in the transverse direction and posttensioned in the longitudinal direction.Several states use stay-in-place (SIP) precast prestressed panels combined with CIP topping for new structures as well as for deck replacement. This system is cost-competitive with CIP decks. The SIP panels act as forms for the topping concrete and also as part of the structural depth of the deck. This system can significantly reduce construction time because field forming is only needed for the exterior girder overhangs. The SIP panel system suffers from reflective cracking, which commonly appears over the panel-to-panel joints. A modified SIP precast panel system has recently been developed in NCHRP Project 12-41.SUBSTRUCTURESContinuity has increasingly been used for precast concrete bridges. For bridges with total lengths less than 300 m (1,000 ft), integral bridge abutments and integral diaphragms at piers allow for simplicity in construction and eliminate the need for maintenance-prone expansion joints. Although the majority of bridge substructure components continue to be constructed from reinforced concrete, prestressing has been increasingly used. Prestressed bents allow for longer spans, improving durability and aesthetics and reducing conflicts with streets and utilities in urban areas. Prestressed concrete bents are also being used for structural steel bridges to reduce the overall structure depth and increase vertical clearance under bridges. Precast construction has been increasingly used for concrete bridge substructure components. Segmental hollow box piers and precast pier caps allow for rapid construction and reduced dead loads on the foundations. Precasting also enables the use of more complex forms and textures in substructure components, improving the aesthetics of bridges in urban and rural areas. RETAINING WALLSThe design of earth retaining structures has changed dramatically during the last century. Retaining wall design has evolved from short stone gravity sections to concrete structures integrating new materials such as geosynthetic soil reinforcements and high-strength tie-back soil anchors.The design of retaining structures has evolved into three distinct areas. The first is the traditional gravity design using the mass of the soil and the wall to resist sliding and overturning forces. The second is referred to as mechanically stabilized earth design. This method uses the backfill soil exclusively as the mass to resist the soil forces by engaging the soil using steel or polymeric soil reinforcements. A third design method is the tie-back soil or rock anchor design, which uses discrete high-strength rods or cables that are drilled deep into the soil behind the wall to provide a dead anchorage to resist the soil forces.A major advancement in the evolution of earth retaining structures has been the proliferation of innovative proprietary retaining walls. Many companies have developed modular wall designs that are highly adaptable to many design scenarios. The innovative designs combined with the modular standard sections and panels have led to a significant decrease in the cost for retaining walls. Much research has been done to verify thestructural integrity of these systems, and many states have embraced these technologies. RESEARCHThe primary objectives for concrete bridge research in the 21st century are to develop and test new materials that will enable lighter, longer, more economical, and more durable concrete bridge structures and to transfer this technology into the hands of the bridge designers for application. The HPCs developed toward the end of the 20th century would be enhanced by development of more durable reinforcement. In addition, higher-strength prestressing reinforcement could more effectively utilize the achievable higher concrete strengths. Lower-relaxation steel could benefit anchor zones. Also, posttensioning tendons and cable-stays could be better designed for eventual repair and replacement. As our natural resources diminish, the investigation of the use of recycled materials is as important as the research on new materials.The development of more efficient structural sections to better utilize the performance characteristics of new materials is important. In addition, more research is required in the areas of deck replacement panels, continuity regions of spliced girder sections, and safe,durable, cost-effective retaining wall structures.Research in the areas of design and evaluation will continue into the next millennium.The use of HPC will be facilitated by the removal of the implied strength limitation of 70 MPa (10.0 ksi) and other barriers in the LRFD bridge design specifications. As our nation’s infrastructure continues to age and as the vehicle loads continue to increase, it is important to better evaluate the capacity of existing structures and to develop effective retrofitting techniques. Improved quantification of bridge system reliability is expected through the calibration of system factors to assess the member capacities as a function of the level of redundancy. Data regarding inspection, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation expenditures and their timing must be systematically collected and evaluated to develop better methods of assessing cost-effectiveness of concrete bridges. Performance-based seismic design methods will require a higher level of computing and better analysis tools.In both new and existing structures, it is important to be able to monitor the “health” of these structures through the development of instrumentation (e.g., fiber optics) to determine the state of stresses and corrosion in the members.CONCLUSIONIntroduced into the United States in 1949, prestressed concrete bridges today represent over 50 percent of all bridges built. This increase has resulted from advancements in design and analysis procedures and the development of new bridge systems and improved materials.The year 2000 sets the stage for even greater advancements. An exciting future lies ahead for concrete bridges!混凝土桥梁在美国甚至在世界桥梁上,混凝土是最常用的建设材料。

Indeed, the better high-rise buildings carry the universal traits of simplicity of thought and clarity of expression.It does not follow that there is no room for grand thoughts. Indeed, it is with such grand thoughts that the new family of high-rise buildings has evolved. Perhaps more important, the new concepts of but a few years ago have become commonplace in today’ s technology.Omitting some concepts that are related strictly to the materials of construction, the most commonly used structural systems used in high-rise buildings can be categorized as follows:1.Moment-resisting frames.2.Braced frames, including eccentrically braced frames.3.Shear walls, including steel plate shear walls.4.Tube-in-tube structures.5.Core-interactive structures.6.Cellular or bundled-tube systems.Particularly with the recent trend toward more complex forms, but in response also to the need for increased stiffness to resist the forces from wind and earthquake, most high-rise buildings have structural systems built up of combinations of frames, braced bents, shear walls, and related systems. Further, for the taller buildings, the majorities are composed of interactive elements in three-dimensional arrays.The method of combining these elements is the very essence of the design process for high-rise buildings. These combinations need evolve in response to environmental, functional, and cost considerations so as to provide efficient structures that provoke the architectural development to new heights. This is not to say that imaginative structural design can create great architecture. To the contrary, many examples of fine architecture have been created with only moderate support from the structural engineer, while only fine structure, not great architecture, can be developed without the genius and the leadership of a talented architect. In any event, the best of both is needed to formulate a truly extraordinary design of a high-rise building.While comprehensive discussions of these seven systems are generally available in the literature, further discussion is warranted here .The essence of the design process is distributed throughout the discussion.Moment-Resisting FramesPerhaps the most commonly used system in low-to medium-rise buildings, the moment-resisting frame, is characterized by linear horizontal and vertical members connected essentially rigidly at their joints. Such frames are used as a stand-alone system or in combination with other systems so as to provide the needed resistance to horizontal loads. In the taller of high-rise buildings, the system is likely to be found inappropriate for a stand-alone system, this because of the difficulty in mobilizing sufficient stiffness under lateral forces.Analysis can be accomplished by STRESS, STRUDL, or a host of other appropriate computer programs; analysis by the so-called portal method of the cantilever method has no place in today’s technology.Because of the intrinsic flexibility of the column/girder intersection, and because preliminary designs should aim to highlight weaknesses of systems, it is not unusual to use center-to-center dimensions for the frame in the preliminary analysis. Of course, in the latter phases of design, a realistic appraisal in-joint deformation is essential.Braced Frame sThe braced frame, intrinsically stiffer than the moment –resisting frame, finds also greater application to higher-rise buildings. The system is characterized by linear horizontal, vertical, and diagonal members, connected simply or rigidly at their joints. It is used commonly inconjunction with other systems for taller buildings and as a stand-alone system in low-to medium-rise buildings.While the use of structural steel in braced frames is common, concrete frames are more likely to be of the larger-scale variety.Of special interest in areas of high seismicity is the use of the eccentric braced frame.Again, analysis can be by STRESS, STRUDL, or any one of a series of two –or three dimensional analysis computer programs. And again, center-to-center dimensions are used commonly in the preliminary analysis. Shear wallsThe shear wall is yet another step forward along a progression of ever-stiffer structural systems. The system is characterized by relatively thin, generally but not always concrete elements that provide both structural strength and separation between building functions.In high-rise buildings, shear wall systems tend to have a relatively high aspect ratio, that is, their height tends to be large compared to their width. Lacking tension in the foundation system, any structural element is limited in its ability to resist overturning moment by the width of the system and by the gravity load supported by the element. Limited to a narrow overturning, One obvious use of the system, which does have the needed width, is in the exterior walls of building, where the requirement for windows is kept small.Structural steel shear walls, generally stiffened against buckling by a concrete overlay, have found application where shear loads are high. The system, intrinsically more economical than steel bracing, is particularly effective in carrying shear loads down through the taller floors in the areas immediately above grade. The system has the further advantage of having high ductility a feature of particular importance in areas of high seismicity.The analysis of shear wall systems is made complex because of the inevitable presence of large openings through these walls. Preliminary analysis can be by truss-analogy, by the finite element method, or by making use of a proprietary computer program designed to consider the interaction, or coupling, of shear walls.Framed or Braced TubesThe concept of the framed or braced or braced tube erupted into the technology with the IBM Building in Pittsburgh, but was followed immediately with the twin 110-story towers of the World Trade Center, New York and a number of other buildings .The system is characterized by three –dimensional frames, braced frames, or shear walls, forming a closed surface more or less cylindrical in nature, but of nearly any plan configuration. Because those columns that resist lateral forces are placed as far as possible from the cancroids of the system, the overall moment of inertia is increased and stiffness is very high.The analysis of tubular structures is done using three-dimensional concepts, or by two- dimensional analogy, where possible, whichever method is used, it must be capable of accounting for the effects of shear lag.The presence of shear lag, detected first in aircraft structures, is a serious limitation in the stiffness of framed tubes. The concept has limited recent applications of framed tubes to the shear of 60 stories. Designers have developed various techniques for reducing the effects of shear lag, most noticeably the use of belt trusses. This system finds application in buildings perhaps 40stories and higher. However, except for possible aesthetic considerations, belt trusses interfere with nearly every building function associated with the outside wall; the trusses are placed often at mechanical floors, mush to the disapproval of the designers of the mechanical systems. Nevertheless, as a cost-effective structural system, the belt truss works well and will likely find continued approval from designers. Numerous studies have sought to optimize the location of these trusses, with the optimum location very dependent on the number of trusses provided. Experience would indicate, however, that the location of these trusses is provided by the optimization of mechanical systems and by aesthetic considerations, as the economics of the structural system is not highly sensitive to belt truss location.Tube-in-Tube StructuresThe tubular framing system mobilizes every column in the exterior wallin resisting over-turning and shearing forces. The term‘tube-in-tube’is largely self-explanatory in that a second ring of columns, the ring surrounding the central service core of the building, is used as an inner framed or braced tube. The purpose of the second tube is to increase resistance to over turning and to increase lateral stiffness. The tubes need not be of the same character; that is, one tube could be framed, while the other could be braced.In considering this system, is important to understand clearly the difference between the shear and the flexural components of deflection, the terms being taken from beam analogy. In a framed tube, the shear component of deflection is associated with the bending deformation of columns and girders , the webs of the framed tube while the flexural component is associated with the axial shortening and lengthening of columns , the flanges of the framed tube. In a braced tube, the shear component of deflection is associated with the axial deformation of diagonals while the flexural component of deflection is associated with the axial shortening and lengthening of columns.Following beam analogy, if plane surfaces remain plane , the floor slabs,then axial stresses in the columns of the outer tube, being farther form the neutral axis, will be substantially larger than the axial stresses in the inner tube. However, in the tube-in-tube design, when optimized, the axial stresses in the inner ring of columns may be as high, or evenhigher, than the axial stresses in the outer ring. This seeming anomaly is associated with differences in the shearing component of stiffness between the two systems. This is easiest to under-stand where the inner tube is conceived as a braced , shear-stiff tube while the outer tube is conceived as a framed , shear-flexible tube.Core Interactive StructuresCore interactive structures are a special case of a tube-in-tube wherein the two tubes are coupled together with some form of three-dimensional space frame. Indeed, the system is used often wherein the shear stiffness of the outer tube is zero. The United States Steel Building, Pittsburgh, illustrates the system very well. Here, the inner tube is a braced frame, the outer tube has no shear stiffness, and the two systems are coupled if they were considered as systems passing in a straight line from the “hat” structure. Note that the exterior columns would be improperly modeled if they were considered as systems passing in a straight line from the “hat” to the foundations; these columns are perhaps 15% stiffer as they follow the elastic curve of the braced core. Note also that the axial forces associated with the lateral forces in the inner columns change from tension to compression over the height of the tube, with the inflection point at about 5/8 of the height of the tube. The outer columns, of course, carry the same axial force under lateral load for the full height of the columns because the columns because the shearstiffness of the system is close to zero.The space structures of outrigger girders or trusses, that connect the inner tube to the outer tube, are located often at several levels in the building. The AT&T headquarters is an example of an astonishing array of interactive elements:1.The structural system is 94 ft wide, 196ft long, and 601ft high.2.Two inner tubes are provided, each 31ft by 40 ft , centered 90 ft apartin the long direction of the building.3.The inner tubes are braced in the short direction, but with zero shearstiffness in the long direction.4.A single outer tube is supplied, which encircles the buildingperimeter.5.The outer tube is a moment-resisting frame, but with zero shearstiffness for the center50ft of each of the long sides.6.A space-truss hat structure is provided at the top of the building.7.A similar space truss is located near the bottom of the building8.The entire assembly is laterally supported at the base on twinsteel-plate tubes, because the shear stiffness of the outer tube goes to zero at the base of the building.Cellular structuresA classic example of a cellular structure is the Sears Tower, Chicago,a bundled tube structure of nine separate tubes. While the Sears Towercontains nine nearly identical tubes, the basic structural system has special application for buildings of irregular shape, as the several tubes need not be similar in plan shape, It is not uncommon that some of the individual tubes one of the strengths and one of the weaknesses of the system.This special weakness of this system, particularly in framed tubes, has to do with the concept of differential column shortening. The shortening of a column under load is given by the expression△=ΣfL/EFor buildings of 12 ft floor-to-floor distances and an average compressive stress of 15 ksi 138MPa, the shortening of a column under load is 15 1212/29,000 or per story. At 50 stories, the column will have shortened to in. 94mm less than its unstressed length. Where one cell of a bundled tube system is, say, 50stories high and an adjacent cell is, say, 100stories high, those columns near the boundary between .the two systems need to have this differential deflection reconciled.Major structural work has been found to be needed at such locations. In at least one building, the Rialto Project, Melbourne, the structural engineer found it necessary to vertically pre-stress the lower height columns so as to reconcile the differential deflections of columns in close proximity with the post-tensioning of the shorter column simulatingthe weight to be added on to adjacent, higher columns.二、原文翻译:抗侧向荷载的结构体系常用的结构体系若已测出荷载量达数千万磅重,那么在高层建筑设计中就没有多少可以进行极其复杂的构思余地了;确实,较好的高层建筑普遍具有构思简单、表现明晰的特点;这并不是说没有进行宏观构思的余地;实际上,正是因为有了这种宏观的构思,新奇的高层建筑体系才得以发展,可能更重要的是:几年以前才出现的一些新概念在今天的技术中已经变得平常了;如果忽略一些与建筑材料密切相关的概念不谈,高层建筑里最为常用的结构体系便可分为如下几类:1.抗弯矩框架;2.支撑框架,包括偏心支撑框架;3.剪力墙,包括钢板剪力墙;4.筒中框架;5.筒中筒结构;6.核心交互结构;7.框格体系或束筒体系;特别是由于最近趋向于更复杂的建筑形式,同时也需要增加刚度以抵抗几力和地震力,大多数高层建筑都具有由框架、支撑构架、剪力墙和相关体系相结合而构成的体系;而且,就较高的建筑物而言,大多数都是由交互式构件组成三维陈列;将这些构件结合起来的方法正是高层建筑设计方法的本质;其结合方式需要在考虑环境、功能和费用后再发展,以便提供促使建筑发展达到新高度的有效结构;这并不是说富于想象力的结构设计就能够创造出伟大建筑;正相反,有许多例优美的建筑仅得到结构工程师适当的支持就被创造出来了,然而,如果没有天赋甚厚的建筑师的创造力的指导,那么,得以发展的就只能是好的结构,并非是伟大的建筑;无论如何,要想创造出高层建筑真正非凡的设计,两者都需要最好的;虽然在文献中通常可以见到有关这七种体系的全面性讨论,但是在这里还值得进一步讨论;设计方法的本质贯穿于整个讨论;设计方法的本质贯穿于整个讨论中;抗弯矩框架抗弯矩框架也许是低,中高度的建筑中常用的体系,它具有线性水平构件和垂直构件在接头处基本刚接之特点;这种框架用作独立的体系,或者和其他体系结合起来使用,以便提供所需要水平荷载抵抗力;对于较高的高层建筑,可能会发现该本系不宜作为独立体系,这是因为在侧向力的作用下难以调动足够的刚度;我们可以利用STRESS,STRUDL 或者其他大量合适的计算机程序进行结构分析;所谓的门架法分析或悬臂法分析在当今的技术中无一席之地,由于柱梁节点固有柔性,并且由于初步设计应该力求突出体系的弱点,所以在初析中使用框架的中心距尺寸设计是司空惯的;当然,在设计的后期阶段,实际地评价结点的变形很有必要;支撑框架支撑框架实际上刚度比抗弯矩框架强,在高层建筑中也得到更广泛的应用;这种体系以其结点处铰接或则接的线性水平构件、垂直构件和斜撑构件而具特色,它通常与其他体系共同用于较高的建筑,并且作为一种独立的体系用在低、中高度的建筑中;尤其引人关注的是,在强震区使用偏心支撑框架;此外,可以利用STRESS,STRUDL,或一系列二维或三维计算机分析程序中的任何一种进行结构分析;另外,初步分析中常用中心距尺寸;剪力墙剪力墙在加强结构体系刚性的发展过程中又前进了一步;该体系的特点是具有相当薄的,通常是而不总是混凝土的构件,这种构件既可提供结构强度,又可提供建筑物功能上的分隔;在高层建筑中,剪力墙体系趋向于具有相对大的高宽经,即与宽度相比,其高度偏大;由于基础体系缺少应力,任何一种结构构件抗倾覆弯矩的能力都受到体系的宽度和构件承受的重力荷载的限制;由于剪力墙宽度狭狭窄受限,所以需要以某种方式加以扩大,以便提从所需的抗倾覆能力;在窗户需要量小的建筑物外墙中明显地使用了这种确有所需要宽度的体系;钢结构剪力墙通常由混凝土覆盖层来加强以抵抗失稳,这在剪切荷载大的地方已得到应用;这种体系实际上比钢支撑经济,对于使剪切荷载由位于地面正上方区域内比较高的楼层向下移特别有效;这种体系还具有高延性之优点,这种特性在强震区特别重要;由于这些墙内必然出同一些大孔,使得剪力墙体系分析变得错综复杂;可以通过桁架模似法、有限元法,或者通过利用为考虑剪力墙的交互作用或扭转功能设计的专门计处机程序进行初步分析框架或支撑式筒体结构:框架或支撑式筒体最先应用于IBM公司在Pittsburgh的一幢办公楼,随后立即被应用于纽约双子座的110层世界贸易中心摩天大楼和其他的建筑中;这种系统有以下几个显着的特征:三维结构、支撑式结构、或由剪力墙形成的一个性质上差不多是圆柱体的闭合曲面,但又有任意的平面构成;由于这些抵抗侧向荷载的柱子差不多都被设置在整个系统的中心,所以整体的惯性得到提高,刚度也是很大的;在可能的情况下,通过三维概念的应用、二维的类比,我们可以进行筒体结构的分析;不管应用那种方法,都必须考虑剪力滞后的影响;这种最先在航天器结构中研究的剪力滞后出现后,对筒体结构的刚度是一个很大的限制;这种观念已经影响了筒体结构在60层以上建筑中的应用;设计者已经开发出了很多的技术,用以减小剪力滞后的影响,这其中最有名的是桁架的应用;框架或支撑式筒体在40层或稍高的建筑中找到了自己的用武之地;除了一些美观的考虑外,桁架几乎很少涉及与外墙联系的每个建筑功能,而悬索一般设置在机械的地板上,这就令机械体系设计师们很不赞成;但是,作为一个性价比较好的结构体系,桁架能充分发挥它的性能,所以它会得到设计师们持续的支持;由于其最佳位置正取决于所提供的桁架的数量,因此很多研究已经试图完善这些构件的位置;实验表明:由于这种结构体系的经济性并不十分受桁架位置的影响,所以这些桁架的位置主要取决于机械系统的完善,审美的要求,筒中筒结构:筒体结构系统能使外墙中的柱具有灵活性,用以抵抗颠覆和剪切力;“筒中筒”这个名字顾名思义就是在建筑物的核心承重部分又被包围了第二层的一系列柱子,它们被当作是框架和支撑筒来使用;配置第二层柱的目的是增强抗颠覆能力和增大侧移刚度;这些筒体不是同样的功能,也就是说,有些筒体是结构的,而有些筒体是用来支撑的;在考虑这种筒体时,清楚的认识和区别变形的剪切和弯曲分量是很重要的,这源于对梁的对比分析;在结构筒中,剪切构件的偏角和柱、纵梁例如:结构筒中的网等的弯曲有关,同时,弯曲构件的偏角取决于柱子的轴心压缩和延伸例如:结构筒的边缘等;在支撑筒中,剪切构件的偏角和对角线的轴心变形有关,而弯曲构件的偏角则与柱子的轴心压缩和延伸有关;根据梁的对比分析,如果平面保持原形例如:厚楼板,那么外层筒中柱的轴心压力就会与中心筒柱的轴心压力相差甚远,而且稳定的大于中心筒;但是在筒中筒结构的设计中,当发展到极限时,内部轴心压力会很高的,甚至远远大于外部的柱子;这种反常的现象是由于两种体系中的剪切构件的刚度不同;这很容易去理解,内筒可以看成是一个支撑或者说是剪切刚性的筒,而外筒可以看成是一个结构或者说是剪切弹性的筒;核心交互式结构:核心交互式结构属于两个筒与某些形式的三维空间框架相配合的筒中筒特殊情况;事实上,这种体系常用于那种外筒剪切刚度为零的结构;位于Pittsburgh的美国钢铁大楼证实了这种体系是能很好的工作的;在核心交互式结构中,内筒是一个支撑结构,外筒没有任何剪切刚度,而且两种结构体系能通过一个空间结构或“帽”式结构共同起作用;需要指出的是,如果把外部的柱子看成是一种从“帽”到基础的直线体系,这将是不合适的;根据支撑核心的弹性曲线,这些柱子只发挥了刚度的15%;同样需要指出的是,内柱中与侧向力有关的轴向力沿筒高度由拉力变为压力,同时变化点位于筒高度的约5/8处;当然,外柱也传递相同的轴向力,这种轴向力低于作用在整个柱子高度的侧向荷载,因为这个体系的剪切刚度接近于零;把内外筒相连接的空间结构、悬臂梁或桁架经常遵照一些规范来布置;美国电话电报总局就是一个布置交互式构件的生动例子;1、结构体系长米,宽米,高米;2、布置了两个筒,每个筒的尺寸是米×米,在长方向上有米的间隔;3、在短方向上内筒被支撑起来,但是在长方向上没有剪切刚度;4、环绕着建筑物布置了一个外筒;5、外筒是一个瞬时抵抗结构,但是在每个长方向的中心米都没有剪切刚度;6、在建筑的顶部布置了一个空间桁架构成的“帽式”结构;7、在建筑的底部布置了一个相似的空间桁架结构;8、由于外筒的剪切刚度在建筑的底部接近零,整个建筑基本上由两个钢板筒来支持;框格体系或束筒体系结构:位于美国芝加哥的西尔斯大厦是箱式结构的经典之作,它由九个相互独立的筒组成的一个集中筒;由于西尔斯大厦包括九个几乎垂直的筒,而且筒在平面上无须相似,基本的结构体系在不规则形状的建筑中得到特别的应用;一些单个的筒高于建筑一点或很多是很常见的;事实上,这种体系的重要特征就在于它既有坚固的一面,也有脆弱的一面;这种体系的脆弱,特别是在结构筒中,与柱子的压缩变形有很大的关系,柱子的压缩变形有下式计算:△=ΣfL/E对于那些层高为米左右和平均压力为138MPa的建筑,在荷载作用下每层柱子的压缩变形为1512/29000或毫米;在第50层柱子会压缩94毫米,小于它未受压的长度;这些柱子在50层的时候和100层的时候的变形是不一样的,位于这两种体系之间接近于边缘的那些柱需要使这种不均匀的变形得以调解;主要的结构工作都集中在布置中;在Melbourne的Rialto项目中,结构工程师发现至少有一幢建筑,很有必要垂直预压低高度的柱子,以便使柱不均匀的变形差得以调解,调解的方法近似于后拉伸法,即较短的柱转移重量到较高的邻柱上;。

construction Traf fic modelsThe practical implementation of sustainability is a challenge for the construction industry,for which there have been several research efforts to model sustainability.However,the current approaches for modeling sustainability have several limitations:they are mainly deterministic and do not properly describe the dy-namic nature of the productive environment in construction.To overcome this,a dynamic modeling frame-work based on discrete-event simulation,which integrates environmental and traf fic models,is explored in this paper.This modeling framework explicitly incorporates environmental goals (a sustainable goal)in the design of road construction operations,in terms of the fugitive and exhaust emissions generated by the pro-duction and traf fic conditions.A hypothetical project is studied to illustrate the use of this framework.The main results show that an optimum number of trucks and front loaders can minimize the emission levels.Further research should consider multi-objective analyses involving cost,time and emission levels.©2012Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionSustainable development is a relevant goal of nations worldwide.According to the World Commission on Environment and Develop-ment,sustainable development can be de fined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of fu-ture generations to meet their own needs [1].In practice,sustainable development implies a trade-off between three divergent objectives:economic growth,social equity and environmental sustainability.The environment,which is de fined as the whole components (biotic and abiotic)that support life on earth,is affected by human activities.Thus,all of the human efforts for balancing economic growth,social equity and environmental sustainability imply small and sometimes unperceivable disruptions in the planetary equilibrium.Research efforts worldwide have been focused on providing tools for ef ficiently managing natural resources to achieve sustainable develop-ment,including monitoring tools,green technologies,education,laws and policies as a part of environmental management systems.In the last fifteen years,there had been a growing effort to deal with sustainability issues in construction and their practical implementation [1–4].Several approaches for modeling different sustainability aspects in construction have been studied with a strong emphasis on the environment.However,the modeling frameworks of these approaches have limitations in terms of how they model theuncertainty and the dynamic relationships existing in the productive environment of construction projects.To overcome these previous limitations,this paper explores a modeling approach based on discrete-event simulation (DES)to model the sustainability performance of construction operations in terms of its environmental effects (emissions).This modeling approach also integrates environmental and traf fic models and is applied to hypothetical road construction operations.By using this framework,environmental goals are explicitly incorporated as a decision variable in the design of construction operations.Thus,this modeling framework could be a managerial tool for construction operations,involving sustainability considerations in the planning phase or even the construction phase.The following sections of this paper address some of the relevant sus-tainability aspects in construction,the sustainability and environmental implications of road construction,and the existing modeling and simu-lation methods of sustainability in construction.The research objectives and the methodology are then addressed.The environmental modeling framework to model emissions in road construction composed by DES,traf fic and environmental models is described.This framework is then il-lustrated by applying it to a hypothetical construction project.Finally,the main findings and conclusions are discussed.2.Background2.1.Sustainable constructionKibert [2]proposed the term ‘sustainable construction ’as a way to include sustainability in the construction industry under the generalAutomation in Construction 24(2012)100–110⁎Corresponding author.E-mail addresses:v.gonzalez@ (V.González),techaveg@udec.cl (T.Echaveguren).0926-5805/$–see front matter ©2012Elsevier B.V.All

t c onconcept mentioned earlier.Kibert's concept stated that‘sustainable construction’or‘green construction’means creating a healthy built environment using resource-efficient,ecologically based principles. Under the sustainable development concept,Hill and Bowen[3]pro-posed four pillars of sustainable construction:social sustainability, economic sustainability,biophysical sustainability,and technical sustainability.Essentially,the definition of sustainable construction includes the‘technical sustainability’component as a new directive. The practical implementation of these concepts is the actual challenge for the construction industry,but their implementation could lead to a better matching between the seemingly antagonistic of sustainability and development[4].2.2.Sustainable road construction and its environmental effectsWith regard to sustainable construction,efforts have mainly focused on building projects instead of linear projects,such as road construction.In developing countries,the environmental assessment of this type of projects is mainly focused on applying standardized mitigation measurements in the construction and the operation phases of projects.The concept of sustainable construction is not commonly applied and the systematic management of the environ-mental effects of construction operations is neglected.Environmental effects are externalities that affect the air,the ground or the water, among other environmental factors,to various degrees.In this context,several frameworks and tools have been developed to in-clude environmental concepts in construction practices.For example, environmental management systems(EMS)provide the necessary means to effectively deal with these issues in construction[5–8]. One of the key components of EMS is the assessment and the quanti-fication of environmental performance using environmental indices by which a project's effects on specific and individual environmental components can be studied[9,10].Applying these concepts to road construction projects,for which the design,the construction and the operations are owned by differ-ent managers with different,sometimes opposing objectives,is still a challenge.An exception is concessed highways,in which public–private partnership approaches,allow a general EMS framework to be applied.However,in most countries,this case is an exception and not the rule.As opposed to building projects,road projects spread over a large territory.The road construction process includes three areas:on-site installation,front work areas and the link between the two.Materials are the inputs for the on-site installation,while the outputs are wastes and new materials.In the front work areas,the inputs are the mate-rials transported to build the embankment,the pavement and the structures,while the outputs are wastes mainly originating from the earthwork.Transport is typically done with trucks at low speeds and constant accelerations and decelerations.In some cases,drivers allow truck engines to idle while waiting in queues.Furthermore, work sites define a network of pathways for trucks that depends on the locations of the material accumulation,the crushers,the offices, the garages,the portable concrete or asphalt plants,and so on.Therefore,a suitable environmental index should consider the en-vironmental outputs of those three areas.Considering local environ-mental policy,it is possible to design the road construction process during the planning stage with the objective of studying the project's environmental performance during that phase.By doing so,a prelim-inary,practical task could be to measure the on-site air emissions during the construction operations.Other air emissions are composed of noise,exhaust emissions originating from the combustion of equip-ment engines and fugitive emissions caused by dust that is suspended and re-suspended by equipment operations.This study is focused on exhaust and fugitive emissions.In road construction,air emissions mainly consist of carbon monoxide(CO),nitrogen oxides(NO x),sul-fur dioxide(SO2),volatile organic compounds(VOC),particulate matter lower than 2.5μm(PM2.5),particulate matter lower than 10μm(PM10)and dust.Thefirst four elements are exhaust emissions, while the last three are fugitive emissions.Equipment with combus-tion engines used during the construction and/or the transport oper-ations creates the same type of emissions.Permanent human exposure to these components can produce diseases,health injuries, and other direct effects.Air emissions are considered a negative out-put of construction because some of them increase the construction project's carbon footprint,including CO,NO x and VOC.Other compo-nents,such as PM2.5,are aspirated by people,and particles are depos-ited progressively in the lung,inducing irreversible respiratory diseases.This effect is relevant for people that work in the front work areas.SO2is responsible for acid rain,and PM10is a carcinogen component that can affect workers that are repeatedly exposed to it. If exhaust emissions are controlled,the carbon footprint and the prevalence of workers'diseases will decrease and the health of those living close to the front work area will improve.In general,ef-forts to reduce emissions will contribute to the environmental sus-tainability of construction activities.Eq.(1)shows a generalized model to estimate exhaust emissions, where Eff is the efficiency associated with the type of equipment;P is the productivity,which depends on the type and number of pieces of equipment used during each part of the construction process;and EF is the emission factor,which depends on the type of pollutant.P can be measured as daily operation hours,the material transferred during each productive cycle or the distance traveled(in km)by vehicles when transporting the waste or the inputs[11].Exhaust Emission¼EFðÞÂPðÞEffðÞ:ð1ÞThe fugitive emissions are estimated by Eq.(2),which relates the EFs and P in different production and environmental conditions. Fugitive Emission¼EFðÞÂPðÞ:ð2Þ2.3.Modeling and simulation of sustainability issues in construction2.3.1.Modeling of sustainability in constructionSeveral authors have proposed a number of modeling approaches to analyze different issues related to sustainable construction.Al-though the emphasis has not exclusively been on the environmental dimension of sustainability,these authors provide important insights about the existing modeling approaches.Šaparauskas and Turskis [12]developed a mathematical multi-criteria model to assess the sus-tainability of construction processes,while Castro-Lacouture et al.[13]proposed a mixed integer optimization model to select materials using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design(LEED)rat-ing system.Ugwu et al.[14]used the‘weighted sum model’technique in the multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA)and the‘additive utility model’in the analytical hierarchical process(AHP)for multicriteria decision-making,developing a sustainability index for infrastructure design and construction.Shena et al.[15]proposed a quantitative model to measure the environmental performance of contractors, and Sihabuddin and Ariaratnam[16]developed a quantitative model to measure the emissions of underground construction activi-ties and consider both costs and environmental parameters to create the most sustainable construction solutions.It is argued that these modeling approaches have a number of limitations;first,they are mainly deterministic,as most construction project estimates repre-sent‘rough’or‘average’parameter estimates,including the process duration;productivity;equipment capacity and utilization;sched-ules;and the amount of material used,among others.These ap-proaches do not capture project uncertainties properly.Second,they do not describe the interrelationships or the dynamic nature of the productive environment in construction properly,including the decision rules under which different processes and operation are101V.González,T.Echaveguren/Automation in Construction24(2012)100–110performed;the continuous interaction and feedback between the project processes and components that evolve over time;the use of different resources from different sources;and the overall interaction of all of these aspects.These limitations negatively affect the ability of these modeling approaches to assess and predict the environmental performance of projects.2.3.2.Simulation of sustainability in constructionModels designed for other industrial areas,such as manufacturing, phosphoric acid production,pharmaceutical intermediate produc-tion,and cement production,have faced similar limitations to those mentioned previously,as sustainability issues have primarily been characterized through static models instead of more dynamic solu-tions[17–20].One of the means to overcome these modeling limita-tions is the use of advanced modeling techniques,such as discrete event simulation(DES).DES models describe systems evolving over time,where state variables change instantaneously at separate points in time.DES models are able to model and handle complex systems with highly dynamic decision rules and relationships between different entities and resources,and they explicitly include system uncertainty[21].In practice,DES modeling allows the simultaneous analysis of any production process involving resources,energy,residuals and/or emissions and helps to develop accurate and representative models of processes and thus quantify their sustainable(and environmental) behavior.DES has been used by a number of researchers.Solding and Thollander[22]and Solding and Petku[23]used DES to determine the energy bottlenecks in foundries.Persson and Karlsson,Alvemark and Persson,and Ingvarsson and Johansson[24–26]used DES as a tool for environmental measurements in food production.To consider the environmental impacts of a process,it is important that the environ-mental parameters and the process parameters are assessed simulta-neously in the same simulation model.In construction,DES modeling has been given a significant amount of attention,and during the last three decades,researchers have de-veloped several simulation tools and engines to model and optimize construction operations[27–30].The simulation of construction oper-ations using the DES approach involving road construction operations such as excavations,loading,hauling and dumping has also been a specific concern of several researchers[31,32].However,the study of a project's environmental effects has not received much attention in construction yet,except for some recent studies that have focused on the analysis of emissions in construction projects using DES modeling techniques and environmental models[33–35].One interestingfinding provided by these studies was the demonstration that emission estimates using the traditional Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)approach or the integration of emission models and standard bills of materials can be improved with DES techniques.3.Research objectives and methodologyThe objective of this paper was to study the incorporation of envi-ronmental goals,such as the reduction of emission levels,as a deci-sion variable in the design of construction operations in terms of analyzing how the amount of equipment involved(e.g.,the number of trucks and front loaders)affects emissions levels.To achieve this objective,a modeling framework that integrates DES,traffic and envi-ronmental models was explored.This type of framework was studied to overcome the limitations of the current approaches for modeling sustainability in construction.From a simulation standpoint,the in-vestigated framework involved additional modeling components such as traffic models,which enable DES models to develop a more realistic analysis of the environmental impacts of construction.There-fore,this research also explores a means to quantify the environmen-tal performance of its operations and a construction management approach that could explicitly consider not only typical performance goals to design construction operations,such as time and cost,but also environmental goals in the planning or the construction phases (the latter depends on the preferences and the needs of construction decision makers during the construction phase).As mentioned earlier,this research focuses on the emission analy-sis of road construction operations during their life cycle in terms of the fugitive and exhaust emissions generated by production and traf-fic conditions on-site.These types of operations were chosen due to the fact that they have repeated production cycles that are easily rec-ognizable,production stages that are relatively simple to model and potential environmental impacts that are high in terms of generated emissions.The emissions analysis,which determines the amounts of fugitive and exhaust emissions,is carried out for different production and traffic conditions.To accomplish the aforementioned objective,the following research methodology was performed:1.Standardization of the operations:In this stage,the characteriza-tion of the road construction operations and equipment was devel-oped.Afterwards,the analysis of these operations was developed.2.Emissions modeling:For each type of equipment,the exhaust andfugitive(dust)emission factors were estimated.3.Development of the modeling framework:In this stage,a simula-tion model for road construction operations was developed using DES software,which explicitly integrated emission and traffic models by assuming operation in un-signalized intersections.The modeling framework was studied through the analysis of a hypo-thetical road construction project.4.Development of the experiments:A factorial design was proposedfrom which simulation runs were performed.The simulation out-puts were subjected to a statistical analysis and data interpreta-tion,an analysis of variance(ANOVA)and an analysis of the interactions and the main effects.5.Result analysis:In this stage,the graphics and the relations amongthe main variables were developed to determine the relationship between the equipment and the emissions.Finally,the mainfind-ings of the study are discussed.In general,modeling inputs,such as simulation inputs,represent the assumptions made by authors using their own experience of road construction operations to illustrate the study's research. Additionally,the authors recognize that the focus of this paper is to explore the environmental impacts of road construction operations using the proposed modeling framework in terms of how the non-deterministic and dynamic nature of these operations can affect these impacts and how analyzing environmental impacts in this way can influence the outcomes of the construction operation design process.The exploratory nature of this study requires further research to validate and implement these ideas and thus develop a consolidated methodology based on the proposed modeling framework to be applied in construction projects.4.Integrating simulation,environmental and traffic modelingThis section describes road construction operations,the explored modeling approaches and the way in which these approaches are integrated to model the environmental impacts of road construction operations.4.1.Description of road construction operationsIn this paper,the modeled road construction operations are those typically involved in road projects.Fig.1shows a hypothetical layout for these operations.Thisfigure provides the information needed to understand the movement of equipment in excavation,loading, hauling and dumping operations that is influenced,among other102V.González,T.Echaveguren/Automation in Construction24(2012)100–110things,by transport distances and traf fic volumes (the latter is analyzed in-depth in the subsequent sections).The left side of Fig.1shows the zone in which the excavation operation is performed.Strictly speaking,the operation starts at the ‘Project Start ’point,from which trucks are driven to the road excava-tion zone to be loaded with the excavated material.The trucks travel a variable distance ‘x ’that characterizes the term ‘Variable Internal Transport ’(VIT),which varies in terms of the progressed distance on the work front,i.e.,the excavation distance.Once the trucks arrive at the ‘Maneuvering Entrance Zone ’point,they enter the ‘Trucks Transport Maneuvering ’(TTM)zone,which has a distance of 40m (in this paper,some constant distances are assumed to illustrate the methodology used).In the TTM zone,the trucks are positioned to re-ceive loads from the front loaders.From the ‘Work Front ’point,the front loaders excavate the road ground following the direction of the ‘Progress of Work ’.Note that the total road distance to be excavat-ed is 1200m,so the distance ‘x ’in the VIT zone theoretically ranges from 0to 1200m,as these values change as construction progresses (i.e.the excavation operation is executed and the front loaders re-move material).Otherwise,the distance of the road excavation zone decreases theoretically from 1200to 0m as construction progresses.Once the trucks are completely loaded,they return and pass several zones.The TTM and the VIT zones are passed first,followed by the ‘Internal Transport 1’(IT1)zone.The IT1zone has a distance of 500m.At the end of this zone,the trucks arrive at the first ‘Intersec-tion 1’(I1)with a main highway,where they must wait in a queue.The right side of Fig.1shows that trucks perform the hauling,the dumping and the return operations.When the trucks leave the queue in I1,they enter the highway and interact with different traf fic levels affecting their travel speed (analyzed in subsequent sections);this zone is referred to as the ‘External Transport ’(ET)zone.When the trucks arrive at the ‘Intersection 2’(I2),they wait in a queue to turn left towards the dump zone.Once the trucks leave the queue in I2,they enter the ‘Internal Transport 2’(IT2)zone,which has a distance of 500m.Then the trucks dump the material in the ‘Dump Transport ’(DT)zone,which has a distance of 100m.As a modeling assumption,the trucks travel this distance to dump material at the end of the DT zone;thus,they return to the excavation zone by passing through the IT2,the ET and the IT1zones and repeat the cycle until the roadis completely excavated.The next section describes the modeling ap-proach used and the road construction operations analyzed in-detail.4.2.Modeling frameworkWhen a road construction operation is being designed and,for in-stance,the size of the truck fleet is being determined,a key inquiry is the number of necessary trucks such that costs are reduced,produc-tivity is increased,or both simultaneously.Typically,the construction decision frame considers the operating costs,the schedule and the productivity as goals,depending on the required performance,which de fines the corresponding inputs to be placed in the work front.However,this solution does not guarantee that negative exter-nalities,such as emissions or truck noise,are reduced,as the attention is focused on the productivity issues of the projects instead of their environmental issues.A more realistic and sustainable operation de-sign could also consider the reduction of the environmental impacts,such as emissions,of road construction operations.Fig.2shows the overall modeling framework used in this paper.This framework integrates several modeling approaches to combine the production,environmental and traf fic dimensions of the road construction operations studied.The framework includes a number of components,which are explained below.•The Overall Discrete Event-Simulation Modeling component is the core of the modeling framework,providing the DES modeling archi-tecture for the entire road construction operation shown schematically in Fig.1,including the excavation,loading,hauling (internal and external transport)and dumping operations.This component integrates the Simulation and Traf fic Inputs,which are related to the road construction operations and the hauling opera-tions (performed speci fically by trucks),respectively.•The Simulation Inputs component provides the probability density functions (PDFs)for the duration of the operations (i.e.,the excava-tion,loading,dumping and hauling operations,without considering the hauling operations in the ‘I1’,the ‘I2’and the ‘ET ’zones)and the decision rules of the system in terms of the road construction production steps,which are incorporated into the DES model.(100m)VIT IT1ETIT2(500 m)Work FrontProject EndDT I1I2ET: External Transport / IT: Internal Transport / VIT: Variable Internal Transport /DT: Dump Transport / TTM:

frame-work,due to the fact that it allows more realistic traf fic conditions experienced by trucks in the ‘I1’,the ‘I2’and the ‘ET ’zones to be modeled (see Fig.1).Using a traf fic behavior model for the intersec-tions,the PDFs for the hauling time affected by delays and queues in these zones are modeled and integrated in the DES model.•The Environmental Modeling and Simulation component is another key component of the modeling framework,integrating the Environmental Inputs related to the equipment emissions and the inputs from the Overall Discrete-Event Simulation Modeling com-ponent.The latter component produces the discrete-event simula-tion/traf fic modeling outputs,which in turn represent an input for the Environmental Modeling and Simulation component.•The Environmental Inputs component considers the equipment emission models,which characterize the emissions produced by trucks and front loaders performing productivity activities.The DES model provides the necessary information (the duration of the operations,the weight of the material transferred per time-unit and/or the travel distance per time-unit)to these models to calculate the fugitive and exhaust emissions produced during the road construction operations.•The Simulation and Environmental Outputs component produces the resulting production and environmental responses from the overall modeling framework.In this paper,the production responses are focused on the cycle times and productivity,while the production and operating costs will be focused on in future research.The subsequent sections describe each component of the modeling framework in-detail.4.3.Overall simulation modeling:Simulation architecture,inputs and outputsA DES software,Extend ™,was selected to simulate the construc-tion operations given its powerful features to visualize and handle highly dynamic,complex systems [36].Extend ™is based on the Process Interaction simulation strategy,in which entities flow as integer units throughout the system [37].Environmental and traf fic models are subsequently integrated into the simulation models through Extend ™.Fig.3shows the simulation architecture used,including a detailed description of each operation involved in the road construction,the inputs,and the outputs.Fig.3shows three zones and the outputs.1)Excavation in the Work Front —Zone 1:road material is excavated and loaded by the front loaders;2)Haul to Dump —Zone 2:trucks are loaded with excavated material and haul it to be dumped;3)Return to Load —Zone 3:trucks return empty to be loaded with excavated material;and 4)Outputs:simulation/environmental outputs are produced,integrating the different inputs considered.In Zone 1,the AmountExcMat block de fines the total amount of excavated material to be processed by the model in m 3.The #FrontLoaders block sets the number of front loaders excavating theroad,each with a capacity of 1m 3.In Zone 3,the #Trucks block sets the number of trucks hauling the excavated material,each with a capacity of 10m 3.At the beginning of the simulation,these blocks release m 3-units,front loaders and trucks as single entities into the system from the left to the right side;these entities flow throughout the model and are combined,batched and un-batched according to the system rules and processes performed.Note that additional experimental factors and simulation input levels are described in Section 5.1.In Zone 1,once the AmountExcMat and #FrontLoaders blocks release the first entities,i.e.,one m 3-unit and one front loader,they are batched in the #BatchZone 1block;the first m 3-unit is then processed.This process is repeated to excavate the entire amount of material.As the road construction operations are stochastic process-es,a queue-process framework is used in Extend ™,queue blocks are labeled with a first Q letter (e.g.,QExcavate )and process blocks are labeled without such a letter (e.g.,Excavate ).In Zone 1,the excavation operation performed by the front loaders consists of the Excavate,LoadedHaul,LoadTrucks and EmptyHaul process blocks,which represent the sequential processes in the excavation.The Load-Trucks process block is slightly different because it considers a deci-sion to release an entity that is asked whether there is a truck available and in position to be loaded with a m 3-unit.The duration PDF per m 3-unit are set in seconds,using the following input blocks,PDFs and parameters for each process:ExcDuration —Triangular (10,20,30);LoHaDuration —Triangular (10,20,30);LoTrDuration —Uniform (5,7);and EmHaDuration —Triangular (10,15,20).When a truck is loaded by a front loader through the LoadTrucks process block,the front loader and the m 3-unit are released by the UnBatch-Zone1block.While the m 3-unit flows to Zone 2,the front loader flows to the EmptyHaul process block to return and repeat the excava-tion operation.In Zone 2,when 10m 3of material has been excavated and accu-mulated in the BatchZone2block,it is batched along with the truck released from Zone 3as a single entity,representing the process of hauling to dump the excavated material using the trucks.This entity passes for several queues and process blocks,depicting the same hauling operation shown in Fig.1(for simplicity,the distance and operations nomenclature shown in Fig.1is used for the process blocks).The hauling operation includes the TTM process block in Zone 3and finishes at the DT process block in Zone 2.The hauling duration for that block is set constant at 14.3s in the TTMDuration block,so there is a small distance of 40m.A constant speed of 10km/h is as-sumed for truck maneuvering.In Zone 2,the VIT process block models the hauling duration of the trucks as a variable of the distance,i.e.,from 0to 1200m (see Fig.1).The assumed cross-sectional shape of the excavated road has a width of 5.5m and a height of 0.6m,provid-ing approximately 4000m 3of material.However,for simulation ef-fects,120strips with a width of 3.0m (width of the front loaders blade)are considered,with a total of 10m 3is loaded into each strip (i.e.,the capacity of the trucks).Then an external algorithm was developed in a spreadsheet to calculate the variable distance and the excavation volume;this algorithm was integrated into the model through the VITDuration1input.The hauling duration in the VIT process block is calculated using two speeds for different dis-tances:10km/h between 0m and 200m and 40km/h between 201m and 1200m.The IT1process block estimates the hauling dura-tion by a Triangular PDF in km/h (45,50,55)for truck speed (IT1Speed block)and the IT1Distance block.The I1,ET and I2process blocks have the inputs of the traf fic modeling as duration PDFs (see Section 4.4),which are obtained from an external spreadsheet.The I1process block models the truck delays and queues in I1(see Fig.1),characterizing waiting times before the trucks can enter the highway.Note that there is a queue before that block,the QI1block,to respect the queue-process framework imposed to model theOverall Discrete-Event SimulationModeling Traffic

What may foresee will be the 21st century, the human building also by the concrete structure, the steel structure, the bricking-up structure and so on primarily, the present stage I will think us in the structure reinforcement this aspect research should also take this as the main breakthrough direction.Key word:Concrete structure reinforcement bricking-up structure reinforcement steel structure reinforcement1 Concrete structure reinforcementConcrete structure's reinforcement divides into the direct reinforcement and reinforces two kinds indirectly, when the design may act according to the actual condition and the operation requirements choice being suitable method and the necessary technology.1.1the direct reinforcement's general method1)Enlarges the section reinforcement lawAdds the concretes cast-in-place level in the reinforced concrete member in bending compression zone, may increase the section effective height, the expansion cross sectional area, thus enhances the component right section anti-curved, the oblique section anti-cuts ability and the section rigidity, plays the reinforcement reinforcement the role.In the suitable muscle scope, the concretes change curved the component right section supporting capacity increase along with the area of reinforcement and the intensity enhance. In the original component right section ratio of reinforcement not too high situation, increases the main reinforcement area to be possible to propose the plateau component right section anti-curved supporting capacity effectively. Is pulled in the section the area to add the cast-in-place concrete jacket to increase the component section, through new Canada partial and original component joint work, but enhances the component supporting capacity effectively, improvement normal operational performance.Enlarges the section reinforcement law construction craft simply, compatible, and has the mature design and the construction experience; Is suitable in Liang, the board, the column, the wall and the general structure concretes reinforcement; But scene construction's wet operating time is long, to produces has certain influence with the life, and after reinforcing the building clearance has certain reduction.2) Replacement concretes reinforcement lawThis law's merit with enlarges the method of sections to be close, and after reinforcing, does not affect building's clearance, but similar existence construction wet operating time long shortcoming; Is suitable somewhat low or has concretes carrier's and so on serious defect Liang, column in the compression zone concretes intensity reinforcement.3) the caking outsourcing section reinforcement lawOutside the Baotou Steel Factory reinforcement is wraps in the section or the steel plate is reinforced component's outside, outside the Baotou Steel Factory reinforces reinforced concrete Liang to use the wet outsourcing law generally, namely uses the epoxy resinification to be in the milk and so on methods with to reinforce the section theconstruction commission to cake a whole, after the reinforcement component, because is pulled with the compressed steel cross sectional area large scale enhancement, therefore right section supporting capacity and section rigidity large scale enhancement.This law also said that the wet outside Baotou Steel Factory reinforcement law, the stress is reliable, the construction is simple, the scene work load is small, but is big with the steel quantity, and uses in above not suitably 600C in the non-protection's situation the high temperature place; Is suitable does not allow in the use obviously to increase the original component section size, but requests to sharpen its bearing capacity large scale the concrete structure reinforcement.4) Sticks the steel reinforcement lawOutside the reinforced concrete member in bending sticks the steel reinforcement is (right section is pulled in the component supporting capacity insufficient sector area, right section compression zone or oblique section) the superficial glue steel plate, like this may enhance is reinforced component's supporting capacity, and constructs conveniently.This law construction is fast, the scene not wet work or only has the plastering and so on few wet works, to produces is small with the life influence, and after reinforcing, is not remarkable to the original structure outward appearance and the original clearance affects, but the reinforcement effect is decided to a great extent by the gummy craft and the operational level; Is suitable in the withstanding static function, and is in the normal humidity environment to bend or the tension member reinforcement.5) Glue fibre reinforcement plastic reinforcement lawOutside pastes the textile fiber reinforcement is pastes with the cementing material the fibre reinforcement compound materials in is reinforced the component to pull the region, causes it with to reinforce the section joint work, achieves sharpens the component bearing capacity the goal. Besides has glues the steel plate similar merit, but also has anticorrosive muddy, bears moistly, does not increase the self-weight of structure nearly, durably, the maintenance cost low status merit, but needs special fire protection processing, is suitable in each kind of stress nature concrete structure component and the general construction.This law's good and bad points with enlarge the method of sections to be close; Is suitable reinforcement which is insufficient in the concrete structure component oblique section supporting capacity, or must exert the crosswise binding force to the compressional member the situation.6) Reeling lawThis law's good and bad points with enlarge the method of sections to be close; Is suitable reinforcement which is insufficient in the concrete structure component oblique section supporting capacity, or must exert the crosswise binding force to the compressional member the situation.7) Fang bolt anchor lawThis law is suitable in the concretes intensity rank is the C20~C60 concretes load-bearing member transformation, the reinforcement; It is not suitable for already the above structure which and the light quality structure makes decent seriously.1.2The indirect reinforcement's general method1)Pre-stressed reinforcement law(1)Thepre-stressed horizontal tension bar reinforces concretes member in bending,because the pre-stressed and increases the exterior load the combined action, in the tension bar has the axial tension, this strength eccentric transmits on the componentthrough the pole end anchor (, when tension bar and Liang board bottom surface close fitting, tension bar can look for tune together with component, this fashion has partial pressures to transmit directly for component bottom surface), has the eccentric compression function in the component, this function has overcome the bending moment which outside the part the load produces, reduced outside the load effect, thus sharpened component's anti-curved ability. At the same time, because the tension bar passes to component's pressure function, the component crack development can alleviate, the control, the oblique section anti-to cut the supporting capacity also along with it enhancement.As a result of the horizontal lifting stem's function, the original component's section stress characteristic by received bends turned the eccentric compression, therefore, after the reinforcement, component's supporting capacity was mainly decided in bends under the condition the original component's supporting capacity 。

项目成本控制一、引言项目是企业形象的窗口和效益的源泉。
随着市场竞争日趋激烈,工程质量、文明施工要求不断提高,材料价格波动起伏,以及其他种种不确定因素的影响,使得项目运作处于较为严峻的环境之中。
由此可见项目的成本控制是贯穿在工程建设自招投标阶段直到竣工验收的全过程,它是企业全面成本管理的重要环节,必须在组织和控制措施上给于高度的重视,以期达到提高企业经济效益的目的。
二、概述工程施工项目成本控制,指在项目成本在成本发生和形成过程中,对生产经营所消耗的人力资源、物资资源和费用开支,进行指导、监督、调节和限制,及时预防、发现和纠正偏差从而把各项费用控制在计划成本的预定目标之内,以达到保证企业生产经营效益的目的。
三、施工企业成本控制原则施工企业的成本控制是以施工项目成本控制为中心,施工项目成本控制原则是企业成本管理的基础和核心,施工企业项目经理部在对项目施工过程进行成本控制时,必须遵循以下基本原则。
3.1 成本最低化原则。
施工项目成本控制的根本目的,在于通过成本管理的各种手段,促进不断降低施工项目成本,以达到可能实现最低的目标成本的要求。
在实行成本最低化原则时,应注意降低成本的可能性和合理的成本最低化。
一方面挖掘各种降低成本的能力,使可能性变为现实;另一方面要从实际出发,制定通过主观努力可能达到合理的最低成本水平。
3.2 全面成本控制原则。
全面成本管理是全企业、全员和全过程的管理,亦称“三全”管理。
项目成本的全员控制有一个系统的实质性内容,包括各部门、各单位的责任网络和班组经济核算等等,应防止成本控制人人有责,人人不管。
项目成本的全过程控制要求成本控制工作要随着项目施工进展的各个阶段连续进行,既不能疏漏,又不能时紧时松,应使施工项目成本自始至终置于有效的控制之下。
3.3 动态控制原则。
施工项目是一次性的,成本控制应强调项目的中间控制,即动态控制。
因为施工准备阶段的成本控制只是根据施工组织设计的具体内容确定成本目标、编制成本计划、制订成本控制的方案,为今后的成本控制作好准备。
而竣工阶段的成本控制,由于成本盈亏已基本定局,即使发生了偏差,也已来不及纠正。
3.4 目标管理原则。
目标管理的内容包括:目标的设定和分解,目标的责任到位和执行,检查目标的执行结果,评价目标和修正目标,形成目标管理的计划、实施、检查、处理循环,即PDCA循环。
3.5 责、权、利相结的原则。
在项目施工过程中,项目经理部各部门、各班组在肩负成本控制责任的同时,享有成本控制的权力,同时项目经理要对各部门、各班组在成本控制中的业绩进行定期的检查和考评,实行有奖有罚。
只有真正做好责、权、利相结合的成本控制,才能收到预期的效果。
四、施工成本控制措施成本控制措施。
降低施工项目成本的途径,应该是既开源又节流,或者说既增收又节支。
只开源不节流,或者只节流不开源,都不可能达到降低成本的目的,至少是不会有理想的降低成本效果。
项目经理是项目成本管理的第一责任人,全面组织项目部的成本管理工作,应及时掌握和分析盈亏状况,并迅速采取有效措施;工程技术部应在保证质量、按期完成任务的前提下尽可能采取先进技术,以降低工程成本;经济部应注重加强合同预算管理,增创工程预算收入;财务部主管工程项目的财务工作,应随时分析项目的财务收支情况,合理调度资金。
制订先进的经济合理的施工方案,以达到缩短工期、提高质量、降低成本的目的;严把质量关杜绝返工现象,缩短验收时间,节省费用开支;控制人工费、材料费、机械费及其他间接费。
随着建筑市场竞争的加剧,工程的单价越来越低,现场管理费越来越高。
这就要求项目管理人员用更科学,更严谨的管理方法管理工程。
作为管理部门也要合理的分析地区经济差别,防止在投入上一刀切。
综上分析,施工项目管理与项目成本控制是相辅相成的,只有加强施工项目管理,才能控制项目成本;也只有达到项目成本控制的目的,加强施工项目管理才有意义。
施工项目成本控制体现了施工项目管理的本质特征,并代表着施工项目管理的核心内容。
施工项目成本控制是施工项目管理绩效评价的客观、公正的标尺。
五、加强项目成本控制的现实意义5.1 加强项目成本控制是铁路施工企业摆脱困境,增加收入的需要。
目前铁路施工企业刚刚推向市场,参与市场竞争,将面临着严峻的市场考验。
现在建筑市场放开,实行招投标制,并且标底压得都非常低,要想创造效益唯一的出路就是强化内部管理,苦练内功,向内部挖潜要效益。
因此,加强项目成本控制是目前一条非常现实的途径。
5.2 加强项目成本控制是适应市场竞争形势,加强企业内部管理工作的需要。
随着铁路企业的快速发展,建筑市场竞争越来越激烈。
今后一段时期,铁路施工企业将面临日趋激烈的市场挑战,施工企业的经营环境难有大的改善。
增收提效,强化成本控制与索赔将是今后加强经营管理的重点。
这就要求铁路施工企业要把各方面的工作统一到降低成本、提高效益的目标上。
按照市场经济的要求钻研、调整和完善管理体制,进一步加强各项基础管理工作,将企业管理从实物管理转向价值管理,从而使成本管理成为企业管理的中心。
六、施工项目成本控制的方法施工成本控制的方法很多,这里着重介绍偏差分析法。
偏差是指把施工成本实际值与计划值的差异。
偏差分析可用横道图法、表格法、曲线法。
(1)横道图法是用不同的横道标识已完成工程计划施工成本、拟完工程计划施工成本和已完工(程实际施工成本,横道的长度与其金额成正比例。
横道图具有形象、直观、一目了然等优点,它能够准确表达出施工成本的偏差,而且能一眼感受到偏差的严重性。
但这种方法的信息量少。
(2)表格法是进行偏差分析最常用的一种方法,它将项目编号、名称、各施工成本参数以及施工成本偏差数综合归纳入一张表格中,并且直接在表格中进行比较。
由于各偏差都在表中列出,使得施工成本管理者能够综合地了解并处理这些数据。
具有灵活、适用性强;信息量大;表格处理可借助于计算机,从而节约大量数据处理所需的人力,并大大提高速度。
(3)曲线法是用施工成本累计曲线(S行曲线)来进行施工成本偏差分析的一种方法。
如图中a表示施工成本实际值曲线,p表示施工成本计划值曲线,两条曲线之间的竖向距离表示施工成本偏差。
用该方法分析同样具有形象、直观的特点,但这种方法很难直接用于定量分析,只能对定量分析起一定的作用。
七、目前施工企业项目成本控制分析7.1 当前项目成本的问题及原因。
当前项目部实行项目转型后实行了“五项费用包干”、“百元产值工资含量包干”以及“承包指标倒扣”等多种形式的经济承包责任制管理,项目部在施工生产和队伍素质方面都有了长足的进步。
但毋容置疑的是只管干活,不管算帐的生产模式仍然存在。
有的只顾生产任务的完成,成本意识淡薄,把成本管理看作可有可无。
近两年来在抓项目部达标升级,企业考核项目部的指标时,都重点放在生产任务完成上,客观上助长了这种行为。
具体表现为:1、在劳动力使用上,不按岗、不按实际需要配备人员,两人能完成的工作安排三人,可使用低工费的工种而使用高工费的劳力。
为了照顾关系、情面、临时工闲时也留用,职工可不闻不问生产经营状况,但每月的工资、补贴、奖金不能少拿,人为地扩大经费的支出。
2、在物资管理方面,能简化到什么程度就简化到什么程度,业务人员只图方便省事、不及时退卡入帐,有的工程材料实物与帐面相差几万元,甚至几十万元的不乏其数。
在工程材料领用上,手续不齐全,不按定额发料。
工地材料摆放乱,工程材料被盗的现象时有发生;配件领用不审查,坏了就换,很少有人去修复;虚填油料消耗致使有人偷偷地把油卖掉。
3、机械施工效率不高(例:机械设备包月租赁),车况较差,平时维护保养不善。
机械设备有了故障不分析主客观原因,不追究当事人的责任,坏了有料就换,无料就等。
临时工未经过严格培训考核就上岗造成机械非正常损坏,影响施工进度。
综上所述,当前项目部的成本管理,只是会计的事后核算,而不是事前预防和事中控制。
原因有:成本意识淡薄,简单地认为成本管理是财务部门或者是上级领导的事,与自己无关,只是注重“生产任务的完成”和“承包盈亏”,在群体中产生“负效应”。
因此,动员项目部全员参与成本控制,深化项目部的成本管理势在必行。
7.2 项目部亏损的原因分析。
项目部作为建筑产品的直接生产者,既有按照合同和施工图纸、规范自行组织施工的权力,即对施工组织的安排,人员的调配,材料、部分设备的采购、保管、使用、消耗,安全、质量的管理具有一定的自主权;但同时也受发包单位、设计单位、企业以及其他与工程建设有关的单位的影响和制约。
另外,地质和气候的变化、设计的变更等客观因素也会对项目部的施工产生重大影响,而上述所有因素均会影响到项目部的成本支出。
1、主观原因使成本失去控制。
所谓主观原因,是指项目部可以自行支配而没有任何外部影响就可以控制的成本支出因素,如上面所述的项目部因具有施工自主权而发生的成本。
主要包括如下几个方面:(1)没有严格执行成本控制的总目标或者根本没有成本控制的总目标。
绝大部分亏损的项目部,根本没有成本控制的总目标。
有的虽有但却没有严格执行,因而使项目部的成本处于失控状态。
(2)材料、配件的计划、采购、验收、保管、出库、消耗制度不健全。
在亏损的项目部中,购买材料、配件无计划的现象比比皆是,采购数量的多少全在于项目经理甚至于材料员,其结果必然导致材料的积压、超支。
另外由于项目部难以掌握相对合理的价格信息,也不计算采购材料的资金成本,从而使项目部购买了大量高价材料。
一些项目部没有收发制度,购买的材料无人验收,更无实物帐,因而就谈不上保管和出库。
特别是砂石料、砖瓦等地材,有的项目部自始至终没有专门的部门进行管理,以购代耗;严重的甚至用虚假的材料发票报销。
项目部不按定额发料,施工人员要多少给多少,致使多发的材料不是浪费扔在工地,就是被工地的人员偷偷卖掉,许多可以回收的废料更无人管理。
(3)承包措施不配套。
项目部对内部队伍的承包没有相应配套的管理措施,实行承包后漏洞百出,致使成本超支。
比如,有的承包方案规定完成多少任务发多少工资,但对材料的消耗和设备的使用、维修没有明确要求,形成包工不包料、包盈不包亏,有的承包方案虽然合理,但计价不及时,或者不能按照承包方案进行兑现,使承包无法进行下去。
(4)分包工程存在漏洞。
项目部对劳务分包队伍,包工不包料,导致多拨工程款;或分包工程价格不合理;或大量使用分包队伍,导致超拨款、分包队伍欠款等现象不断发生;或让多个外部单位挂靠,导致所有的善后费用全部由被挂靠的项目部承担。
(5)出现严重的质量问题。
亏损严重的项目部,几乎全部存在比较严重质量问题,从而导致返工、修复、推倒重来等重复施工的现象发生,加大了工程成本。
比如在桥梁施工中,存在基础下沉、桥墩歪斜等现象。
(6)施工设备利用率不高。
一些项目部对所承担的工程心中无数,为保证施工不间断,盲目购置或从其他项目调入大量设备备用,甚至购入一些本项目不需要的设备,从而造成设备长期停用。
