Analysis of Load-bearing Characteristics of Concrete Pile Composite Foundation

Some conclusions were drawn from two groups of in-site tests on concrete pile composite foundations. In the tests, it was found that the pressure under the rigid loading slab is different, in which the pressure under the center of the slab is the less and under the edge of the slab is the biggest. The pile-soil stress ratio is not a constant; it increases with the adding of the load. Most of the pile-soil ratio vary from 9 to 13 in these tests and the load that the piles share can be more than seventy percent of the whole load. It was proved that the bearing capacity of the concrete pile composite foundation is high with a little settlement, so it will be used more and more in the future.     

EFFECT OF MICRO-GALLIUM ON THE INTERGRANULAR SEGREGATINN OF PHOSPHORUS IN CARBON STEELS

The effect of small amounts of gallium on the intergranular segregation of phosphorus in carbon steels is discussed, with the help of the impact test, fracture morphology and micro-structure analyses, combined with composition analysis on the fracture surfaces by Auger electronspectrometer. The results show that gallium in the steel with a content of gallium more than ten thou-sandth can suppress, to some extent, the intergranular segregation of phosphorus and retard the tempering process. As a result, the temper embrittlement of the steel disappears and the embrittlement transition temperature declines.     

Deformation of deep foundation pits due to excavation and dewatering considering the change of void ratio and permeability coefficient with current stress of soil

基于修正剑桥模型理论,推导了孔隙比e随土体当前应力变化的方程,同时比选了4组经典的描述渗透系数k随孔隙比变化的方程,选择了其中一组最佳的估算公式,编写ABAQUS用户子程序VOIDRI和USDFLD,以实现孔隙比和渗透系数随土体当前应力的变化。在此基础上,研究深基坑降水开挖所致的坑内外土体的变形、围护结构的变形及弯矩,得到以下结论：当考虑孔隙比随土体当前应力变化时,坑外地表沉降量、墙体的水平位移、地下连续墙的弯矩、坑底隆起量均大于孔隙比为定值时的情况;当考虑渗透系数随土体当前应力变化时,坑外地表沉降量、墙体的水平位移、地下连续墙的弯矩均小于渗透系数为定值时的情况,但同时考虑渗透系数和孔隙比变化情况时,其对坑底的隆起量的影响可以忽略不计。     

超细煤水浆与柴油混合液的流变特性

煤水浆(CWM)是一种新型的正在开发的可工业化的石油代用燃料。而将煤水浆用于柴油机则处于试验阶段。流变特性是煤水浆性质判定的主要依据之一。本文将就下列三方面对超细煤木浆与柴油组成的混合液(用作柴油机燃料)的流变特性进行分析:(1)流变模型和流变参量;(2)超细煤水浆与柴油的最佳混合比;(3)触变性。

Impacts of Institutional Reforms on Irrigated Agriculture in Pakistan

Poor functioning of theirrigation system in Pakistan has been asource of concern for the last few decades,during which time it has been the subject ofconsiderable external assistance andinternal policy reforms. Consequently, thegovernment of Pakistan introducedinstitutional restructuring in irrigationand drainage subsectors to impartnecessary improvements. Under thesereforms, management at secondary canallevel has recently been handed over to theFarmers Organizations (FOs) of selecteddistributaries in pilot areas. This studywas designed to evaluate a farmer-manageddistributary in southern Punjab. Fieldmeasurements revealed that hydraulicaspects of the irrigation service deliveredby the FO management has been significantlyimproved and as a result highlyproportionate and equitable waterdistribution was observed, particularly atthe tail reaches of the distributary. Dueto effective FO management farmers'interventions to increase the outletdischarge by illegal means has been almosteradicated. As a result of theseimprovements imparted by the FO in systemmanagement, the extent of irrigated area hasincreased on average by 6 to 7%, evenunder severe drought-like conditionsprevailing in the country during recentyears. Further cost recoveries haveincreased by an amount of 14% for summerand 23% for winter growing seasons,respectively, from the irrigated area of thedistributary. Thus experience from Hakra4-R distributary has shown that even underundesirable natural circumstancesIrrigation Management Transfer (IMT) wasquite effective in achieving the keytargets of the institutional reformslaunched at pilot scale in the country.
