Effect of water content on strength of unsaturated loess
LEI Sheng-you, LI Zhi-yuan, WANG Ji-qing, LIU Zhao
Abstract: Loess suction's contribution to its strength was regarded as the increment of minor principal stress.The increment was gained by analyzing the Mohr's circle geometric figure of loess ultimate stress.When loess was in ultimate state at failure, a computation method of loess strength was put forward under the condition that the cohesion and the internal friction angle synchronously changed, the relationship between the strength indexes and water content was obtained, and the relationship curves of major principal stress and water content of unsaturated loess were analyzed at failure.Computation result shows that the changing rules of computation curves and test curves for major principal stress are same, their difference becomes smaller with the increase of water content, the maximum is 11.63%, and the minimum is 1.59%, so the method is credible.With the increase of water content, when the cohesion and the internal friction angle both change, the computation value of major principal stress is larger than the value only when the cohesion changes, their relative error range is 1.26-2.17 times, which indicates that the influence of water content on the strength of unsaturated loess is significant.More>

Pore water pressure characteristics of semi-rigid base for cement concrete pavement
SHENG Yan-ping, CHEN Shuan-fa, WANG Dong, WANG Lin-bing
Abstract: The pore water pressure of semi-rigid base for cement concrete pavement was simulated by using finite element analysis software ABAQUS based on poroelasticity, and the distribution laws of pore water pressure along the base depth were calculated under different external loading conditions and pavement structures. Analysis result shows that in water-saturated state, pore water pressure decreases with the increase of surface thickness, surface elastic modulus, base thickness and base permeability, but increases with the increase of base elastic modulus. The elastic moduli of surface and base have no obvious impacts on pore water pressure. Meanwhile, pore water pressure linearly increases with the increase of traffic load. With the same load, denser load distribution impacts pore water pressure distribution more significantly. Loading modes only influence the dissipation of pore water pressure. With the increase of vehicle speed, pore water pressure increases, and its dissipation becomes fast.More>

YANG Lu, LI Shi-min, WU Zhi-min, SHEN Xin-pu
Abstract: Shed tunnel structure was taken as prototype, and the contact force, displacement, damage, and energy of shed tunnel under rock-fall impact were studied.Rock-fall was simplified to rigid sphere, surrounding rock and soil were reduced to ideal elastic materials, and concrete was regarded as elastic-plastic material.The dynamic responses of rock-fall impact on shed tunnel structure at different speeds and incident angles were simulated by using ABAQUS finite element.Analysis result shows that when incident angle is unchanged, the greater rock-fall speed is, the greater the displacement is.When rock-fall speed is constant, the smaller rock-fall incident angle is, the greater the displacement is.The worst damage of concrete protective structure occurs at rock-fall contact area, the second damages are inclined leg pillar top and beam in connection with pillar, and the intensities of pillar top and beam joint should be strengthened in practical projects.Impact energy is mainly absorbed and consumed through the concrete protective structure of shed tunnel, the absorption and consumption of soil cushion layer are very limited.To alleviate the damage of rock-fall impact on the concrete protective structure, energy shock absorber can be added at shed tunnel bearing place.More>

Safety analysis of aircraft encountering wake vortex
HAN Hong-rong, LI Na, WEI Zhi-qiang
Abstract: The response mechanism of aircraft encountering wake vortex was analyzed, and the calculation model of induced moment was developed. The calculating model of aircraft's rolling parameters was constructed based on considering of the damping characteristics of aircraft, the response times, the handling qualities and so on. The calculation model of the accepted maximum bank angle was constructed based on the assumption that the buffet stall speed was posed as a critical limit in calculating the rolling progress. The rolling parameters and safe intervals of wake vortex under certain wake vortex's field condition were calculated by using DelphiT. 0. The influences of aircraft mass, speed, altitude tolerance and initial bank angle on flight safety were analyzed. Research result shows that at a certain speed, the greater aircraft mass is, the smaller the accepted maximum bank angle is. The safe interval of aircraft with certain mass decreases with the increase of speed and the decrease of altitude tolerance, while it increases with the increase of initial bank angle. Comparing the data calculated by the models with ICAO standard data, the maximal deviation is 1.56%, which verifies the correctness of the computation method.More>

ZHENG Shi-yuan
Abstract: The intrinsic influence mechanisms of dry bulk ship ordering were studied by using the theory and approach of dynamic econometrics. The dynamic relationships among new ship prices, second-hand ship prices, time charter rates and ordering volumes of three main kinds of dry bulk ships were analyzed. Analysis result shows that there are no cointegration relationships among new ship prices and second-hand ship prices for three kinds of dry bulk ships, and there are cointegration relationships among new ship price, second-hand ship price, time charter rate and ordering volume for every kind of dry bulk ship. Ship ordering volume has positive relationship with new ship price, and negative relationship with time charter rate. The relationship between second-hand ship price and ship ordering volume for Capsize ship is positive, it is negative for Panamax ship, and it is not significant for Handymax ship. Impulses from time charter rates to ship ordering volume are the biggest for three kinds of ships. Impulse from new ship price to ship ordering volume for Handymax ship is the smallest among three kinds of ships. Impulse from second-hand ship price to ship ordering volume for Panamax ship is positive, while it is negative for Capsize ship or Handymax ship.More>

Simulation result shows that because of speed guidance control, the average speed of traffic flow increases from 72. 704 6 km~ h-1 to 74. 167 6 km ~ h-1, the average density of traffic flow decreases from 23. 011 2 veh ~ km-1 to 21. 156 7 veh ~ km-1, and their fluctuations are less than 8%. The speed variance of traffic flow decreases, and the maximum value is only 420 (kin ~ h-1)2. The speed and density deviation ratios between before and after speed guidance control are 3.57 and 1.91 respectively. During traffic flow's mutation period, the speed and density deviation ratios between before and after speed guidance control are 4. 56 and 2. 34 respectively. So the control model is effective.More>

HAN Yun-xiang, TANG Xin-min, HAN Song-chen
Abstract: Aiming at the conflict resolution problem among several aircrafts under fixation airway, the flight strategy of changing course was proposed, and the optimal conflict resolution models under free flight and fixation airway were compared. Aircraft performance and airway space were taken as constraint conditions, the conflict resolution time was taken as objective function, optimal control theory and differential equation were used, and the total conflict resolution times under different initial conditions were computed. Computation result shows that while the resolution endpoint of aircraft changes from (80, 0) to (65, 0), the total conflict resolution time reduces 32 s. While the resolution speed of aircraft decreases from 833 km·h-1 to 759 km·h-1, the total conflict resolution time increases 12 s. While the initial position of aircraft increaes from (20, 0) to (29, 0), the total conflict resolution time only increases 2 s. The resolution endpoint and resolution speed of aircraft have great influence on the conflict resolution time, but the initial position of aircraft has little influence on the conflict resolution time.More>

GAN Hong-cheng, YANG Zhen-zhen
Abstract: Based on macroscopic traffic simulation model, the inductive benefit simulation method of variable message sign(VMS) travel time was proposed, and the influences of information concern ratio and information comprehension deviation coefficients for drivers on the inductive benefit of VMS travel time were analyzed. The travel time calculation model, driver information response model and METANET simulation model were taken as theory foundations, the improving ratio of total road network consuming time was taken as inductive benefit objective, and simulation tests on three road networks with different sizes were carried out. Simulation result shows that VMS travel time normally has positive inductive benefit on improving the running efficiency of road network. The higher the information concern ratio is, the smaller the information comprehension deviation coefficient is, and the more significant the inductive benefit is. While information concern ratio is over 80G, the inductive benefits of small, medium and large road networks are above 28. 89%, 15. 87% and 10. 53% respectively. So the simulation algorithm is effective.More>
