Seismic behavior of steel-reinforced high-strength concrete composite beams with bonded tendons

To study the seismic behavior of steel-reinforced high-strength concrete composite beams with bonded tendons (PSRHSCBs) under low cyclic loading, 13 PSRHSCBs were designed with the main parameters of the span-to-height ratio of beams (L/H), the cubic strength of concrete (fcu), the eccentricity of H-shaped steel (eH), the volume stirrup ratio (pv), the longitudinal reinforcement ratio (p), and the tension control stress of tendons(σcon). Using the simplified bilinear constitutive model of steel and the nonlinear constitutive model of high-strength concrete, and introducing plastic damage of concrete, fine finite element models were established with ABAQUS software. 11 similar test specimens were conducted by above modeling method, by comparing existing test curves and numerical simulation curves, both of them match well, which verified the validity of the modeling method. Subsequently, parameter analysis for 13 PSRHSCB specimens was performed, and the influence regularity of different parameters on the seismic behavior of this kind of composite beams was obtained. The results show that hysteretic curves of this kind of composite beams are full, and the failure mode is manifested as bending failure. The ultimate load, the energy dissipation capacity and the ductility coefficient of specimens can be improved significantly by increasing pv, on the contrary, the energy dissipation capacity and the ductility coefficient decrease gradually by increasing fcu. The stiffness degradation of specimens significantly slows down with the increasing of L/H and σcon, and the decreasing of eH. Finally, the trilinear skeleton curve model and the restoring force model are established by statistical regression, and the corresponding seismic design suggestions are given, and these can provide theoretical support for the seismic design of such composite beams in actual engineering

Synthesis of 2-Oxazolines from Ring Opening Isomerization of 3-Amido-2-Phenyl Azetidines

Chiral 2-oxazolines are valuable building blocks and famous ligands for asymmetric catalysis. The most common synthesis involves the reaction of an amino alcohol with a carboxylic acid. In this paper, an efficient synthesis of 2-oxazolines has been achieved via the stereospecific isomerization of 3-amido-2-phenyl azetidines. The reactions were studied in the presence of both Brønsted and Lewis acids, and Cu(OTf)2 was found to be the most effective

Distribution characteristics of available trace elements in soil from a reclaimed land in a mining area of north Shaanxi, China

Through field and laboratory tests we studied the temporal and spatial variation in the soil content of four available trace elements :copper(Cu), iron(Fe), manganese(Mn) and zinc (Zn), to analyze their distribution characteristics in reclaimed mining land under different reclamation conditions. The available trace elements content varied considerably with different land reclamation patterns. Extended reclamation time was helpful for the recovery of the available trace element content in the soil, and after more than eight years of soil reclamation, the content of available trace elements was closer to or greater than that in soil under natural conditions. Various treatment measures significantly influenced the content and distribution of available trace elements in the soil, and reasonable artificial treatments, including covering the soil and growing shrubs and herbaceous plants, increased the content of available trace elements

Elevator Safety Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things

In view of the frequent occurrence of elevator accidents, an elevator safety monitoring system based on the Internet of things (IOT) was designed. First, the requirements of elevator safety monitoring system were analyzed in terms of function and performance, andthe feasibility of the system was evaluated from perspectives of demand, technology, and practical operation. The design scheme of the system was then presented, which combined the Brower/Server (B/S) and Client/Server (C/S) architectures. As the client of the command and control center, the front-end monitoring system communicated and interacted with it and used the standard real-time transport protocol (RTP) for transmission. Finally, the elevator safety monitoring system was implemented. The test showed that the function and performance of the proposed elevator safety monitoring system achieved the designed target of the system and had practical application value
