Climatic Effects on Pavement and Geotechnical Infrastructure
摘要:
The use of ice control chemicals has become a crucial tool in providing a reasonable level of service on wintery roadways. Yet, there is little research on how the durability of concrete decks in cold climate might be affected by their exposure to deicers. This work presents a streamlined method of developing exposure maps that can be used to better understand the potential effects that deicer usage and other relevant variables may have on an agency's concrete infrastructure. Using the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as a case study, this work started with a survey of two relevant stakeholder groups, followed by the collection of relevant data for developing exposure maps for 12 selected representative ODOT concrete bridge decks. Some issues with data availability and quality were identified. It is recommended that deicer type and application rates, traffic volume, climatic conditions, and concrete mix design and rehabilitation data should be documented into an integrated deck preservation program, or be added to the existing bridge management systems. The inventory of such data would ultimately enable the agency to examine the role of various factors in the premature deterioration of its concrete bridge decks.

摘要:
The use of chemicals and abrasives for highway winter maintenance operations is an essential strategy for ensuring a reasonably high level of service, yet the performance of such materials has to be balanced with their potential negative impacts on motor vehicles, transportation infrastructure, and the natural environment. In this context, this work presents a comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of snow and ice control chemicals currently used by various Idaho Transportation Department districts for highway maintenance operations, including rock salts (mainly solid sodium chloride), IceSlicer products (solid sodium chloride with trace amounts of other chlorides), and salt brines. The analysis has been enabled by the utilization of existing lab and field test data along with reasonable assumptions, in the effort to identify environmentally sustainable materials for winter highway operations. Despite its caveats, this case study is the first attempt to incorporate the most up-to-date information into a multicriteria decision making framework for the data-driven, holistic examination of various snow and ice control chemicals used by a maintenance agency.

摘要:
The objective of this research was to develop and demonstrate native grass sod for sediment control from disturbed lands associated with California highways. The research evaluated native grass species for inclusion in sod and evaluated the sod at a California highway field site. Seed mixes, including rhizomatous and bunchgrass species, were evaluated in a greenhouse setting for six California ecoregions. Growth and sod development potential of each seed mix for each ecoregion were evaluated. Seed mixes for three California ecoregions were further evaluated with a reinforcement material, and for establishment and weed suppression. Establishment and weed suppression of select ecoregion seed mixes and reinforcement materials were evaluated. Results indicated that multispecies sod has potential for use in revegetation of disturbed lands associated with highways.

摘要:
Nano-silica particles were deposited on acid-etched hydrophilic aluminum (Al) substrates by immersion in well-dispersed nano-silica aqueous suspension and tetramethylamonium hydroxide, followed by a heat treatment. The surface was then further treated by a reaction with fluorosilane. The hydrophobicity, surface morphology, and mechanical properties of the coated Al substrates were investigated, along with their electrochemical properties over time of exposure to two NaCl solutions (0.3% and 3% by weight). All the coated Al surfaces exhibited a water contact angle of 155–158°, i.e., superhydrophobicity. The use of nano-silica suspension significantly enhanced the hydrophobicity of the coated Al. Artificial neural networks were used to provide quantitative understanding in how the microstructure of the treated Al surface contributed to its superhydrophobicity and electrochemical properties. When Ra, total (nano-roughness + micro-roughness) exceeds 450 nm, WCA is greater than 154°, independent of the nano/micro-roughness ratio (RRNM). FESEM and AFM images of these surfaces suggest that a rough two-length-scale hierarchical structure coupled with the low surface energy of fluorosilane topcoat led to the superhydrophobicity of the formed coatings. The coating prepared with the 0.2% nano-silica suspension (vs. other concentrations) featured the highest Young's modulus and the best corrosion protection to the Al substrate in both NaCl solutions.

摘要:
Energy conservation of envelope is the key to energy conservation. Energy-saving application of “gas - solid - hot” of coupling in building envelope, is the most important condition that related to our country's construction energy saving to achieve energy saving standards. This article starts from energy-saving application of “gas-solid-hot” coupling in building envelope, and analyses basic process of coupled heat transfer in the envelope and energy transfer’s basic situation of coupled heat transfer in different external conditions. Then we propose the basic methods of “gas-solid-hot” energy-saving of coupling in building envelope.

摘要:
This paper reviews the heat transfer model and calculation methods on the ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP), and found that almost all the model did not consider the influence of groundwater seepage, although groundwater seepage on the pipe heat exchanger has a big influence. Based on the theory of groundwater seepage and heat transfer theory, a new mathematical model coupled with groundwater flow and heat transferring between heat exchanger and ground soil mass are established, which conceded of the heat conduction and the role of the common groundwater seepage of infiltration coupled heat transfer model, which can provides a theoretical support for the calculation and analysis of ground-coupled heat pump heat exchanger.

摘要:
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was improved to ovecome the shortcomings of PSO, and a self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (SAPSO) was proposed in paper. The SAPSO was combined with radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) to form a SAPSO-NN algorithm. A SAPSO-NN prediction system was established for the deformation prediction of subway foundation pit. The results of an engineering case indicate that the intelligent prediction system is efficientive in the complex underground structures.

摘要:
In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is improved by escape strategy, and adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) is presented. The new algorithm has been adopted to overcome PSO shortcomings of the premature convergence and the local optimization pole. APSO combines radial basis function (RBF), and forms APSO-RBF evolutionary algorithm. The APSO-RBF intelligent system for nonlinear identification, which can adaptively identify the logging parameters, is established. The results of engineering cases indicate that APSO-RBF identification system is effective in the lithology identification.
