基于可靠度的组合桥梁设计及维护策略(英文) by 张慕圣, 陈锐斌

“…Currently,the design practice of highway bridges around the world are moving towards limit states design,a reliability-based design procedure.Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code（CHBDC）is the first design code entirely developed based on limit states design philosophy,including foundations and FRP components.However,reliability of a structure decreases in service due to environmental attacks and material deterioration such as fatigue,corrosion and many other reasons.Therefore,the structure should be inspected periodically,and the reliability of the structure should be evaluated according to its age and field data.If its reliability is reduced to a certain level,a repair should be scheduled as well as some preventive maintenance measures should be implemented to prevent further deterioration.Recently,many research works have been conducted to investigate reliability-deterioration mechanisms for each type of infrastructure and its components,optimize the inspection and maintenance strategy,predict remaining service life,estimate its life cycle cost.This paper is focused on the study of reliability-deterioration mechanisms of slab on steel girder bridges due to fatigue and corrosion of steel girders as well as corrosion of reinforcement in the deck slab.Examples will also be given to illustrate the proposed life cycle management strategy for composite slab on steel girder bridges.…”

A comparative study on the removal efficiency of metal ions (Cu, Ni, and Pb) using sugarcane bagasse-derived ZnCl-activated carbon by the response surface methodology by Thuan Van Tran, Quynh Thi Phuong Bui, Trinh Duy Nguyen, Nhan Thi Hong Le, Long Giang Bach

“…In adsorption study, the individual and interactive effects of three critical parameters including initial concentration, pH of solution, and activated carbon dosage on removal efficiency of Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Pb 2+ were assessed by applying the response surface methodology combined with central composite design. The established second-order polynomial regression models provided an excellent interpretation of experimental data with acceptable coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) and analysis of variance demonstrated statistical significance of the model terms. …”
