Evaluation Of Equivalent Thermal Conductivity For Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Bentonite Through Experimental And Numerical Analysis, Yuan Feng, Jongwan Eun, Seunghee Kim, Yong-Rak Kim
Evaluation Of Equivalent Thermal Conductivity For Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Bentonite Through Experimental And Numerical Analysis, Yuan Feng, Jongwan Eun, Seunghee Kim, Yong-Rak Kim
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Faculty Publications
Bentonite is widely used as a water-proof material in engineering, and fibers are added to reduce the crack development of bentonite after drying. Carbon fiber can reinforce bentonite in heat-sensitive projects because of its high thermal conductivity and potential inhibition of bentonite cracking. Thus, it is important to determine the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber-reinforced bentonite. This study evaluated the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber-reinforced bentonite by analytical solution, experiment, and finite element method (FEM) simulation and discussed the effects of carbon fiber content, fiber length, fiber distribution, and the porosity of bentonite on the thermal conductivity of reinforced bentonite. …

Simplified Analytical Solution For Horizontal Seismic Response Of Single Piles To Vertically Incident S Waves, Chang-Jie Zheng, Yi-Qin Cui, Chen Wu, Tong Luo, Lu-Bao Luan
Rock and Soil Mechanics
Based on the continuous medium model and the pile-soil interaction, the horizontal seismic response of a single pile subjected to vertically propagating S waves was investigated by regarding the single pile as a one-dimensional linearly elastic beam. The time-harmonic displacement of bedrock was introduced as the vertically propagating S waves, and the horizontal dynamic impedance function of the soil was derived by the governing equations of the plane strain model. Analytical solutions for the seismic response of the single pile subjected to vertically propagating S waves were obtained by subsuming soil impedance into the governing equation of the single pile …
Analytical Method To Estimate The Influence Of Foundation Pit Excavation Adjacent To The Station (Working Shaft) On The Underlying Shield Tunnel, Zu-Xian Wang, Cheng-Hua Shi, Chen-Jie Gong, Cheng-Yong Cao, Jian-Wen Liu, Zhu Peng
Analytical Method To Estimate The Influence Of Foundation Pit Excavation Adjacent To The Station (Working Shaft) On The Underlying Shield Tunnel, Zu-Xian Wang, Cheng-Hua Shi, Chen-Jie Gong, Cheng-Yong Cao, Jian-Wen Liu, Zhu Peng
Rock and Soil Mechanics
The shield tunnel is typically simplified as an infinite beam with two free ends in existing analytical models, which are used to calculate the longitudinal deformation of the underlying shield tunnel induced by the excavation of a foundation pit. However, the applicability of those analytical models is limited due to the simplification. The current study is aimed at estimating analytically the longitudinal deformation of the underlying shield tunnel induced by the excavation of a foundation pit adjacent to the station (working shaft). The constraint on the shield tunnel generated by the joint between the station (working shaft) and the tunnel …

Rock and Soil Mechanics
Deterioration of lining is a common phenomenon in tunnel engineering that threatens the safety of operating tunnel. For tunnel lining deterioration in rheological rock mass, an analytical model is established which the rheology effect of surrounding rock and deterioration of lining are considered. The surrounding rock displacement and support pressure of tunnel during its service life are obtained. And then the correctness of analytical model is verified by numerical simulation. Subsequently, the sensitivity analyses of deterioration coefficient of lining, thickness of lining, support time, and rheological properties of surrounding rock are carried out by the proposed analytical model. Finally, the …

Analytical Solution Of Additional Response Of Shield Tunnel Under Asymmetric Jack Thrust, Zu-Xian Wang, Cheng-Hua Shi, Jian-Wen Liu
Rock and Soil Mechanics
When shield is driving along a curve alignment or during deviation correction, the asymmetrical thrust will generate an additional bending moment at the head of the tunnel, which will cause construction problems such as longitudinal deformation of the tunnel and dislocation between rings. Based on the theory of elastic foundation beam, the shield tunnel is simplified as a Timoshenko beam in Winkler foundation, an analytical model for evaluating the additional response of the shield tunnel induced the asymmetric thrust is established, and the analytical solutions of longitudinal deformation and internal force of shield tunnel are deduced. Then the correctness and …

Rock and Soil Mechanics
In this paper, based on the axisymmetric consolidation theory of unsaturated soil and equal-strain assumption, an analytical solution using the homogenization of boundary conditions and eigenfunction method is proposed to three-dimensional consolidation of unsaturated soil enhanced by vertical drains under instantaneous loading, in which the continuous permeable boundary conditions are properly introduced. Then, the proposed solution is verified by the special cases of double drainage boundary conditions. Finally, the solution is analyzed using examples and the results show that the proposed solution can be used to simulate the arbitrary distribution of permeability of the top and bottom boundary by setting …
Investigation Of The Mechanical Behavior Of I-Shaped Steel Beams Strengthened By Mechanically-Fastened Frp Laminates, Hothifa Nayef Rojob
Investigation Of The Mechanical Behavior Of I-Shaped Steel Beams Strengthened By Mechanically-Fastened Frp Laminates, Hothifa Nayef Rojob
Theses
Retrofitting and strengthening of steel structures have gained significant importance due to the highly increasing number of deteriorated steel structures in many places around the globe. The conventional method of retrofitting or strengthening of steel structures by replacing steel members or attaching additional external steel plates are usually time-consuming, corrodible, and a cumbersome task. Many of the drawbacks of the conventional retrofitting systems can be overcome through the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Furthermore, FRP materials are corrosion resistant, which makes them more durable especially when environmental deterioration is a concern. In recent …
An Analytical Solution To The Modified Mild-Slope Equation For Waves Propagating Around A Circular Conical Island, Sung-Shan Hsiao, Chun-Ming Chang, Chih-Chung Wen
An Analytical Solution To The Modified Mild-Slope Equation For Waves Propagating Around A Circular Conical Island, Sung-Shan Hsiao, Chun-Ming Chang, Chih-Chung Wen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
There are many analytical solutions to the mild-slope equation that employ Hunt’s direct solution of linear dispersion [7] to solve wave-scattering problems involving varying quiescent depths. The advantage of Hunt’s direct solution of linear dispersion is that it can extend the range of applicability of the mild-slope equation from long-wave to deep-wave conditions. However, because the bottom curvature and slope-squared terms are neglected, the mild-slope equation cannot preserve mass conservation. In this investigation, we derived an analytic solution of the modified mild-slope equation for a conical island by adopting Hunt’s direct solution of linear dispersion to be applicable to intermediate …
