      Abstract:A new composite phase change humidity material (CMPCM) was prepared, which has the functions of temperature regulation and humidity controlling. It was synthesized by composite microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) and porous humidity control material. CMPCM can effectively stabilize the indoor temperature as well as humidity fluctuations, and reduce building energy consumption as a passive energy-saving material. The MPCM was synthesized by sol-gel method with a mixture of capric acid and octadecanoic acid (PCM) as core, and SiO2 as shell. The diatomite was selected as porous hygroscopic material. The performance of composition and structure, thermal properties, thermal stability, moisture transfer coefficient and moisture buffer value were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), positive cup evaporation method and isothermal sorption method respectively. DSC and TGA results showed that the super-cooling degree of CMPCM was lower than that of PCM, and the initial degradation temperature of CMPCM was higher than that of PCM. Moisture Transfer Characteristics Test showed that the moisture transfer coefficient and moisture buffer value of CMPCM were higher than that of classical materials.

      Abstract:Five kinds of drainage materials were chosen such as gravel, ceramsite, glass pumice, HDPE and PVC drainage boards, to establish a simulation test bed of extensive green roof with Sedum lineare Thunb (indoor natural state). The temperature and moisture of the soil, as well as the temperature and relative humidity of the air at the bottom of soil layer by different material treatments were measured. The results showed that:The soil moisture was affected significantly by different drainage materials during the less rain season, but the difference was not significant during the rainy season. In drought month, four kinds of drainage materials with water retention performance such as ceramsite, glass pumice, HDPE and PVC drainage boards, had obvious drought resistance advantage compared to gravel treatment, and the average soil moisture was increased by about 35%. However, the size of the water retention of these four materials had no significant effect on the soil moisture among the treatments. Other than that the drainage performance of the materials had a significant effect on the soil moisture. Early after the rain, the soil moisture of the HDPE drainage board with larger water flux was significantly smaller than other material treatments. Soil temperature and soil air temperature were not affected by water retention performance of the materials. It is indicated that the changes of soil hygro-thermal environment on the extensive green roof are not completely determined by the water retention performance of the materials. Meanwhile, the extensive green roof has both heat-insulating(all year daytime) and heat-preservation(winter nighttime) effects, and its thermal performance has seasonal and intraday differences.

      Abstract:Extreme heat-moisture climate area are always high temperature and rainy. In order to accurately predict the temperature and humidity distribution in the envelope, and simulate the effects of high temperature, high humidity and high solar radiation on the envelope, a coupled heat and moisture transfer model which takes the climate condition of extreme heat-moisture climate area into consideration is developed. The influence of solar radiation and rain load on heat and moisture transfer is considered in boundary conditions. And the changes of moisture content are taken into account in the material parameters. And a solution method based on computer soft,COMSOL and MATLAB,is proposed to solve the coupled heat and moisture transfer model simply. The COMSOL recommended setting is as follow:the relative tolerance is 0.001; the absolute tolerance is 0.0001; the mesh must be set to very fine. The numerical results of this model agree well with HAMSTAD benchmarks.

      Abstract:By factorial experiment, the frequency of blink and rate of time of closed eyes of the measuring subjects are analyzed to judge the degree of visual fatigue when they are in different time learning with the eyes of the electrical signal under the lighting environment of a combination of different color temperature and different shades of light. The results showed that:the interaction effects of illumination, color temperature, illumination time and light intensity have significant influence on frequency of blink and the rate of change in closed eye time. Among them, the color temperature and illumination has the greatest interaction effects. With the increasing of illumination, visual fatigue decreases firstly and then rises. The optimal level of illumination is 1 000~2 000 lx, and the high illumination of over 3 000 lx should be avoided. Under the condition of 4 000 k color temperature, the blink frequency and the rate of closed eyes time are both less and the visual fatigue is relatively low. With the increase of the time of illumination, the rate of blink frequency and the time of closed eyes increase and the visual fatigue aggravates. The optimum illumination time is 0.5~1 h and should not exceed 1.5 h.

      Abstract:To study the seismic design method for kilometer-scale cable-stayed bridge under near-fault impulse ground motion, a finite element model was established. The typical near-fault impulse ground motion was selected, and three damping systems were designed. The elastic connection device, the fluid viscous damper and the combination device of the two were used between the towers and beams respectively. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of the model was then carried out, based on which the impulse effect, the design parameters of the damping system and the damping effect were analyzed. The results show that the impulse long-period amplifies the structural response while the shear wave velocity has no effect on the structural response. In addition, the damping effect of the combination device is the best. Finally, the design flow chart for the damping system based on the target damping rate was proposed.

      Abstract:In order to solve the uncertain damage problem caused by measurement noise, a damage identification method based on modal strain energy mean index(MSEMI) and cloud model is presented. First, structural modal strain energy and two kinds of damage indexes are analyzed. Considering that modal strain energy dissipation ratio index (MSEDRI) and modal strain energy equivalence index (MSEEI) are complementary, a MSEMI is proposed through the mean value method. Then, some basic theories of cloud model are introduced, and numerical characteristic estimation, cloud processing algorithm and certainty function are analyzed. Finally, the damage identification method based on MSEMI and cloud model is presented to solve the uncertain damage problem. Simulation results show that the identification results of the proposed MSEMI are better than those from both MSEDRI and MSEEI, and the damage identification method based on MSEMI and cloud model can solve the uncertain damage problem caused by measurement noise.

      Abstract:Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is a kind of novel biomineralization technique that utilizes natural bacteria isolated from farm land to generate calcite in the pore of soils or rock fracture. This technique could increase both the strength and stability of soil foundation. In this paper, Fujian standard sand was used to process a series of MICP experiments and the mechanical properties were also evaluated by static triaxial test under different confining pressures. It was found that the cohesion of sands improved by 60.1kPa after the MICP treatment. Then, Plaxis was also used to simulate the improvement of soil foundation treated by MICP technique. The improvement of both strength and stability in the embankment of expressway were measured by Shear Strength Reduction Methods. Result shows that MICP technique reinforced the mechanical property of soil foundation, and the slope stability factor was improved from 1.096 to 1.827 after treatment. The stability of expressway embankment improved significantly. Meanwhile, the ultimate slope slip surfaces moved from slope foot to slope surface.

      Abstract:To study the influence of added waste glass fine aggregate on the performance of concrete column, compression static loading test was carried out on 6 reinforced normal aggregate concrete columns and 12 reinforced recycled glass fine aggregate concrete columns. Considering the replacement rate of recycled glass fine aggregate, slenderness ratio and eccentricity, the influence of different replacement rate of recycled glass aggregate on the failure modes, ultimate bearing capacity, axial displacement, cross lateral deflection, concrete strain and steel strain was analyzed. It is found that under both the eccentric compression or axial compression, the failure mechanism for reinforced recycled glass fine aggregate concrete column is similar with the normal reinforced concrete column. The ultimate bearing capacity is relatively high with 100% replacement of recycled glass fine aggregate. In addition, since it conforms to the plane section assumption, the ultimate bearing capacity of the specimens can be calculated according to the relevant domestic code. The results show that the waste glass fine aggregate can replace the general use of common sand in concrete column, without any influence on the performance.

      Abstract:The characteristic of performance-based seismic design is that the structural seismic design is transformed from macroscopic goal to specific multiple objectives.At present,the national code 《Building Seismic Design Code》(GB50011) only provides the deformation index of the elastic and elastic-plastic for the whole structure,not for individual components,without quantifying the damage index.Therefore,this paper firstly carried out the reversed cyclic load tests on shear behavior for 5 T-section RC shear walls with HRB600 steel bars,and the aseismatic performance differences between high-strength bars and ordinary bars of shear wall was studied.Combined with the experimental results of shear resistance performance worldwide,the modified Park-Ang double-parameter seismic damage model is proposed,which can capture the seismic damage of shear wall under shear failure.The modified damage model can evaluate shear wall's damage degree during different loading phases. Based on the damage assessment of shear wall member,quantization indexes of different performance levels for displacement angles of RC shear wall structure were proposed.

      Abstract:The formulas for the length and angle of surface crack are obtained based on the difference of propagation time of Rayleigh wave and the diffracted Longitudinal wave. Propagation rule of Rayleigh wave is analyzed in accordance with different depths and angels of surface cracks using the finite element method. The simulation results were validated calculations and the simulation accuracy is proved. Results indicatevia:1) During propagation of Rayleigh wave, a proportion propagates along the medium surface (including the crack surface); The remaining is subjected to mode conversion phenomenon, and becomes the diffracted transverse and longitudinal wave. All of the elastic waves are absorbed by the viscoelastic artificial boundary when they come to the border of the medium, which eliminates the influence of the reflected wave. 2) Calculation errors of the length and angle of surface crack are substantially below 5%. Within certain ranges, the calculation accuracy is higher as the values of lengths and the angles of the surface crack increase.

      Abstract:The behavior of reinforced self compacting concrete filled circular steel tube (RCFST) columns under seismic load was investigated by testing 1 concrete filled circular steel tube (CFST) column and 7 RCFST columns which were subjected to a constant axial loading and a cyclic lateral loading. The effects of the reinforcement ratio, the axial loading level and the steel ratio on the strength, ductility and energy dissipation of the RCFST columns were studied. The experimental results indicate that the hysteretic curves of RCFST columns were plump, and they demonstrated good seismic performance.In the following loading periods, the longitudinal reinforcement of RCFST columns yield, and their strength was efficiently mobilized. RCFST columns display an obvious increase in the strength, ductility and energy dissipation with the increase of reinforcement ratio. The effects of the axial loading level and the steel ratio on the seismic performance of RCFST column were similar to CFST column.
