Abstract: The tests of ultimate bearing capacity for 19 plain concrete columns were carried out.The reasonable scopes of slenderness and eccentricity of plain concrete columns were proposed.The bearing capacities of test columns were calculated by nonlinear finite element method.A calculation method of ultimate bearing capacity for plain concrete column was presented by theoretical analysis and regression of test data.Calculation result shows that when the slendernesses of test columns are higher than 15 and the eccentricities are 0.3, their failure modes are section tensile failure, which can not play full material performance of compression.When the slendernesses are not higher than 15 and the eccentricities are not higher than 0.3, their failure modes are section compression failure.The mean ratio of calculated values by the finite element method to test values is 0.995, the variance is 0.001 8, so the calculated value fits well with test value, and the finite element method can be used for the parameter analysis of plain concrete column.Based on considering the coupling influence of slenderness and eccentricity on bearing capacity, in the proposed calculation method of ultimate bearing capacity, the mean ratio of calculated values by the proposed method and the finite element method is 0.976, the variance is0.003, which indicates that the proposed method has high precision and high safety.More>

Abstract: In order to solve the problem that the existing GIS buffer algorithm can not create the3 Dbuffer zone of urban rail transit, octree was adopted as a fundamental data structure for creating the 3Dbuffer zone.The 3Dsolid information of urban rail transit was stored by using linear octree encoding, and the analysis of 3Dbuffer zone was transferred into the spatial analysis of octree nodes.The topology of octree nodes was analyzed, and a new algorithm, i.e.0-1 swapalgorithm, was proposed for linear octree neighborhood analysis.The boundary nodes of rail transit were identified by using the 0-1 swap algorithm, and the directions of boundary nodes were determined.The 3Dbuffer zone of rail transit was created by using boundary nodes.A new3 Dbuffer zone creation method of urban rail transit was formed based on linear octree.The boundary nodes of straight tunnel, curved tunnel, straight viaduct and curved viaduct were created by using the 0-1swap algorithm, and the result was compared with that of conventional algorithm and classical Xiao' s algorithm.The 3Dbuffer zones of double-arch tunnel, single-arch tunnel and viaduct were created by using the proposed method, and the number of octree nodes extracted from the different structures was counted and compared with the number of raster nodes of traditional structure.Analysis result indicates that compared with the conventional algorithm and the classical Xiao' s algorithm, the elapsed times of boundary nodes creation for straight tunnel, curved tunnel, straight viaduct and curved viaduct are minimum by using the 0-1swap algorithm, and the values are 5, 7, 10, 18 ms respectively.The time complexity reduces from second order to first order by using the 0-1swap algorithm.For the 3Dbuffer creation method based on linear octree, the memory spaces of octree data structures are 7.26%, 3.64% and 3.72% of the spaces of raster structures when the 3Dbuffer zones of twin-arch tunnel, singelarch tunnel and viaduct are created.Therefore, the 3D buffer zone creation method greatly reduces the number of analysis nodes, and improves the efficiency of creating the 3Dbuffer zone.More>
Abstract: In order to meet the practical demand for pedestrian detection with high speed, high accuracy and strong robustness, in view of the poor quality and unapparent local image features of traffic videos, some simple pedestrian features were chosen for pedestrian detection.Besides rectangle degree, ratio of height to width, shape complexity, normalized width, and pedestrian area, head density was applied because it is a simple local feature and has strong robustness for occlusion interference.Considering the size changing of pedestrian in the image, region division strategy was introduced into image region division.An improved training algorithm based on the minimum principle of classification error and the maximum principle of positive sample classification rate was implemented by considering both high detection rate and low false detection rate, thus several single-feature AdaBoost pedestrian detectors with multi-thresholds were obtained.To optimize the detection performance of cascade pedestrian detectors, the cascade rulewas obtained in term of the contribution rate.The contribution rate was defined by weighing detection performance and detection speed.The cascade order was the detectors based on ratio of height to width, normalized width, rectangle degree, pedestrian area, shape complexity and head density.The pedestrian detectors were sequentially cascaded according to the cascade order, thus a cascade AdaBoost pedestrian detector with multi-features and multi-thresholds was constructed.The proposed pedestrian detector was tested by using 3traffic scenes, and compared with singlecascade-level AdaBoost pedestrian detector and 2existed cascade AdaBoost pedestrian detectors.Analysis result indicates that in 3traffic scenes, compared with the other pedestrain detectors, the proposed pedestrain detector has higher detection rate, higher detection speed and lower false detection rate, the minimum detection rate is 96.70%, the maximum false detection rate is0.67%, and the detection time is less than 5s.So the detector satisfies the real-time and reliable requirements of pedestrian detection in traffic scene.More>
