Study on the Environmental Issues and Countermeasures in Urban Planning
Authors: Shen Li , Zhang Liang , Chen Rui Yang , Liu Miao
Published: June 2012

Urban planning refers to the division of areas functions of the city by the urban management department according to the demands of urban economic development strategies; it is the re-integration and re-distribution of urban resources. Urban planning arises from the needs of urban economic development, but restricts urban economic development to a large extent as well. Therefore, urban planning must take into account not only the city’s long-term interests but also the balance among population, resources and environment. However, the current situation of urban planning is worrisome, for phenomena like massive construction projects, land waste and resources over-exploitation, have occurred in big cities. Urban planning, therefore, must be integrated into environmental protection and sustainable development, seeking new ways of building a harmonious environment.

Authors: Brožovský Jiří
Published: June 2012

In the building industry, non-destructive testing methods are mostly used to determine parameters of concrete structures and concrete of its own; as to other materials, these methods serve semi-occasionally and, as a rule, testing procedures and evaluation are not codified in technical standards. One of non-destructive testing field of applications is testing of piece bricks. This paper deals with findings concerning non-destructive testing of clay solid bricks, honeycomb bricks and lime sand bricks by means of Schmidt Impact Hammers types LB/L. Described here are testing method, procedures of test finding evaluation as well as calibration correlations between impact hammer rebound number and compression strength or flexural strength (lime sand bricks only). Evaluated calibration correlations between impact hammer rebound number and brick strength feature close correlation; its coefficient varies between 0.95 and 0.98, therefore these values are usable in practice. When testing honeycomb bricks varying in hole arrangement and wall thickness, it is necessary to take both these factors into account through specification of calibration correlation of non-destructive/destructive tests of limited number of bricks.

Authors: Yu Hong Tao , Wang Lin Shen
Published: June 2012

Design project management(DPM) takes knowledge as its capital, knowledge innovation as its productive means and the specific design project as its object so as to obtain its capability of the organization’s survival and development. But during the operation, the obtained innovation knowledge will hide in the brains of the project members to get implicit, which makes it difficult for all the members to share it together and for the organization to bring about significant results. This paper aims at introducing the knowledge management theory into design project management in order to systematically solve the transformation between implicit knowledge and explicit knowledge from the setting up of ideas, the environment building, system security and the culture construction of the organization, and hence to convert the individual’s knowledge innovation into the organization’s core competition.

Authors: Xu Feng , Song Yuan Bin
Published: June 2012

Quantitative evaluation of risk of operation crew performing within hazardous spaces is necessary for making safety decisions. Unfortunately, previous research is inadequate in evaluating the dynamic and fluctuating nature of operator’s exposure to hazards. Based on cycle-simulation methodology, this study proposes a two-cycle interaction simulation model. Using this model, the statistic distribution of hazardous exposure of construction crew can be explored with more statistic details. Moreover, the ratio of operation duration to cycle length is also an important factor that determines the statistic distribution of exposure time. Meanwhile, the exposure degree measured for of a low-level operation can better indicate the safety management requirement than that of a high-level activity. Consequently, better understanding of dynamic nature of exposure time may lead to improved safety management decisions.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Lv Xiang Cui , Zhang Dian Xin
Published: June 2012

The wind environment around two high-rise buildings in tandem arrangement at a Reynolds number of 1 000 were investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The numerical simulation results reveal some meaningful regularitiess about the formation and evolution of the complex vortex system around the high-rise buildings. A periodicity phenamenon in the process of the vortex evolution were observed in the numerical simulations. The space between the two buildings is nearly a silent regime with very low velocity, and this is disadvantageous for the transport and dilution of the pollutants. Wind velocity above the front building is relatively large and the maximum wind velocity is approximate 3.0 times the incoming wind velocity. These numerical results can be used in layout planning of high-rise residential buildings to create better environment for the purpose of ventilation and utilization of wind energy in urban area.
Creep Property of Concretes with Different Types of Coarse Aggregates
Authors: Liu Yan Jun , Tia Mang
Published: June 2012

The rheological phenomenon of concrete materials, also termed as creep, is one of very important properties of concrete. Excessive deformation caused by creep does more detrimental effects on prestressed concrete structures than otherwise. Even though some investigations had been conducted on the normal concrete mixtures by the researchers and engineers all over the world, and the conclusions and the creep prediction models based on those investigations were developed, their effectiveness to be extended to all the concrete mixtures is very limited due primarily to the susceptibility of the creep property of concrete to the variation of the properties of aggregate, cement, water to cementitious materials ratio and their proportions. Especially for prestress concrete, creep induced prestress loss puts severe threat on the safety and durability of prestressed structures. Thus, in order to thoroughly understand the creep characteristics of the typical concrete mixtures used in Florida, this project was carried out by University of Florida and Florida Department of Transportation. The investigation found out that the creep strains of the concretes with different types of coarse aggregates at 91 days are very close, while the differences of creep coefficients of the concretes with different aggregates are fairly significant.

Research of Mechanical Properties of Concretes as Cement-Based Porous Materials
Authors: Meng Ling Yun
Published: June 2012

Abstract: The concrete as a porous cement-based material is widely used in practice. The analysis of the basic reason why the drying shrinkage stress develops in concrete at early age is made by using the principal of the equilibrium between capillary water repulsive force and molecular attracting force. The model for computing the drying shrinkage stress for nonbinding concrete is presented by relating the capillary water pressure to relative humidity. Based on it ,the model for concrete fully restrained is given. The measurement of the drying shrinkage stress and depth of cracks caused by the drying shrinkage stress is made by using translation symmetric theorem and adopting dog-shaped specimens, and the analysis of changes in depth of cracks over time for two kinds of specimens is made. using the method of comparison ,the comparison of the gradient of the drying shrinkage stress for two kinds of specimens is made ,and it comes to the conclusion that the median drying shrinkage stress in the concrete fully restrained is higher in value by 1MPa compared to the drying shrinkage stress in non-restrained concrete

Published: June 2012

The construction organization usually takes the Critical Path Method (CPM ) used in the mathematics graph theory, which is a kind of classic system engineering analysis method, was introduced to China by Hua Luogeng – a mathematician, and originally called the Overall Planning Method. This method has been widely applied in various fields of the national economy, especially in the construction field; of course the Overall Planning Method itself has also been greatly developed. Though the Overall Planning Method is relatively mature, there are still a number of uncertainties (random factors) in the construction organization, and it is not easy to make a mathematical description for the Critical Path Method. This paper tries to use random linear programming in the construction organization.
