Metaphorical blending in complex proverbs
Authors: Lemghari El Mustapha 
Published: September 2021

AbstractMetaphor-based accounts of expressions involving a set of metaphors do not indicate how complex meaning is generated. For instance, meaning of the expression ‘this surgeon is a butcher’ is taken to arise from one metaphor:a person who performs actions with certain characteristics is a member of a profession known for those characteristics(Lakoff, 2008). But this metaphor does not explain its negative meaning. Blending Theory, in contrast, offers a convincing solution to this issue. Notwithstanding, it regards the expression as nonmetaphorical. I aim to combine Metaphor Theory and Blending Theory into a broad approach that best describes complex metaphorical expressions. I will apply it, first, to ‘this surgeon is a butcher’ and, second, to a pair of related proverbs: ‘God is in the details’ and ‘the devil is in the details’. Meanings of these proverbs will be assumed to emerge from three integration networks. Each operation uses two metaphors as inputs and yields a blend, comprising a new metaphor and a coded illocutionary force. The new metaphor structures their meanings, whereas the illocutionary force determines their conditions of use. The proverbs will be shown to behave, paradoxically, both as synonyms and antonyms.
Metaphors in Polish, English, Russian, and French perfumery discourse
Authors: Zawisławska Magdalena , Falkowska Marta 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis paper examines metaphors in perfume reviews in four languages, namely Polish, English, Russian, and French. Some typical features of the perfumery discourse, similar across the four languages, have been highlighted, such as clustering, extension, and mixing metaphors. The authors also discuss the most typical schemata used in the conceptualization of perfumes. Although the analyzed texts exhibit a certain similarity, a statistical analysis of the reviews identifies some interesting discrepancies between the languages, that is: unequal distribution of metaphorical types, preferences in usage of perceptual and non-perceptual source frames, and variance in perfume conceptualization (perfume is a womanvs.perfume is a man).
Urban youth accents in France
Authors: Trimaille Cyril , Candea Maria 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Following previous studies on the production and perception of a type of accent commonly known in France as
“accent de banlieue” (Vernet and Trimaille 2007; Devilla and Trimaille 2010; Trimaille, Candea and
Lehka-Lemarchand 2012), we suggest that the emblematic palatalization of /t/ and /d/ is not specific to
young urban people. We also examine how stereotypical uses in the media display this feature and contribute to its
iconization (Irvine and Gal 2000). The complex dynamics of a potential
phonetic change requires a mixed-method methodology, which provides partially contradictory results, and addresses
complex methodological issues in the field of sociophonetics. We, therefore, develop a pragmatic and critical
perspective about indexical relations that link social and linguistic categories, and in so doing, we highlight that
such an unstable linguistic category can only provide an illusion of stability, mainly because it relies on stable
social categorizations.

Authors: Cong Ding 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The performance of open-hole composite laminates with different sizes and fillets under tensile load was analyzed by experiments and finite element software of ABAQUS. The effects of different hole sizes and fillet radius on the tensile properties of laminates were discussed. The results showed that the tensile failure load decreased with the increase of the hole size, and the trend was obvious. As the fillet radius of the hole increased, the failure load tended to increase.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Oxygen and nitrogen in the air have different magnetic properties in a magnetic field. Oxygen and nitrogen are paramagnetic gases and diamagnetic gases, and the magnetizing force received in a gradient magnetic field is in opposite directions. Based on the magnetization theory and simulation experiment analysis, this paper uses the difference in the direction and magnitude of the magnetization force of oxygen and nitrogen in a gradient magnetic field to study the force state of oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the input air in a gradient magnetic field and the oxygen mass fraction of the output gas to explore effective ways to obtain oxygen-enriched gas. The results of this study can provide oxygen-enriched gas for operations such as oxygen-enriched combustion technology and sewage treatment engineering, and improve operational efficiency.

Authors: Xiao Li-guang , Ding Yan-bo 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The fiber and powdered reed straw fibers of different sizes were pretreated with 2% NaOH solution at 180°C and 6MPa for 8min. The straw board without adhesive was prepared by hot pressing. The surface morphology, energy spectrum analysis, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the straw board were studied. The experimental results showed that the surface Si content of straw was significantly increased by alkali activation pretreatment, and the mechanical properties of straw board were significantly improved. The static bending strength (MOR), elastic modulus (MOE) and internal bonding strength (IB) were significantly increased, while the water absorption and expansion rate (TS) were significantly decreased. Compared with fibrous straw board, the fiber bond of straw board made from powdered straw is more compact, its mechanical properties are improved greatly, and its water absorption and expansion rate are reduced obviously.

Abstract
Due to the inaccuracy of the existing fault detection method caused by the overheating of the equipment of the long-spanning overhead transmission line, this paper creatively proposes a detection method of the reversible thermochromic organic thin film material HCBCC which can be deposited on the equipment or hardware of the transmission line based on the electron transfer mechanism. In this method, the film material made with five components in accordance with the optimal ratio was named HCBCC film, and the coloration performance of the material was determined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, temperature variable infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and other characterization methods. Then, its durability was verified through environmental tests such as high and low temperature, rain and snow, wind and sand, and aging. HCBCC material has the advantages of easy observation, fast color rendering and wide temperature range in the temperature indicator, which not only greatly reduces the intensity of inspection work for staff and can find fault points in time, but also saves a lot of time for the emergency repair of power equipment and provides guarantee for the safe and stable operation of power grid.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
With the rapid development of the construction industry, the social economy has experienced a golden period of development, and the construction industry has experienced an unprecedented high rate of growth. Because of its rapid development, the construction industry has contributed to the development of the world economy, but at the same time, there are other problems, such as the construction of houses, roads, and tunnels, which consume much non-renewable energy and release many harmful gases, leading to the greenhouse effect and the rise in global temperature. As non-renewable energy sources continue to be consumed, society’s resources are decreasing, and the earth’s ecological environment is gradually deteriorating. Therefore, in the future of the construction industry, not only its materials in terms of strength, durability, and other aspects of higher requirements, but also on the environment-friendly construction materials more attention, so the project cost control and management of materials play a more critical role. This paper takes straw fiber material as an example through the extraction and preparation of straw fiber and then analyses its material in quality, cost, and construction of the three aspects of the content, derived from the material in the quality, cost, and construction of the three sides of the impact, through the rational and effective use of new environmentally friendly building materials, thus to drive the world’s new green building materials in the development of scientific and technological innovation, while promoting the world’s low-carbon economy in the development of important the role of guidance.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Viscous damper, as a type of energy-dissipating device, is applied in the 3-story school building. To investigate the function of viscous dampers, seismic nonlinear analysis is performed on the FE model with viscous dampers simulated in. The analysis is done for both minor earthquake and severe earthquake. The analysis results show that the viscous dampers start to dissipate energy in minor earthquake input and dissipate more energy in severe earthquake. Therefore, application of viscous dampers significantly reduce the seismic response of the building and effectively protect the structure building from severe damage or collapse.
Construction Key Techniques of Upper Cross-beam for Main Tower of Super-Kilometer Span Rail-cum-Road Suspension Bridge
Authors: Wen-xuan FU 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
As the span of the suspension bridge increases, the height of the main tower and the force on the tower increase. The beam profile volume and pouring weight become larger, which increases the risk of high-altitude construction of the main tower and the upper cross beam. The main bridge of Wufengshan Changjiang River Bridge of Lianzhen Railway is the first rail-cum-road suspension bridge in China. The main span reaches 1092m and the total height of the tower is 191.5m. Taking the engineering practice of the upper cross beam of the main tower of Wufengshan Changjiang River Bridge of Lianzhen Railway as an example, this paper introduces the construction difficulties of the upper cross beam of the main tower, the selection of the upper cross beam construction support, the structural characteristics of the support and the construction process. The upper cross beam is constructed asynchronously with the tower. From the bottom of the upper cross beam to the top of the lower cross beam is 121.5m. The upper cross beam was poured in six times with a total concrete volume of 1918m3. The method of small trusses with bracket and floor steel pipe support is used for construction. The finite element analysis software is used to calculate the super-high support of the upper cross beam, and the support strength, rigidity and stability meet the requirements of the specification. At present, the bridge has been partially put into use, which verifies the rationality of the design and construction of the beam support on the main tower. It has strong reference and guiding value.
Comparison for Solid Concrete-filled Circular Steel Tubes Load-carrying Capacities in Frame Structures Basing on Chinese codes
Authors: Yu-tong Duan , Hong-gang Lei 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Solid steel tubular concrete members have excellent axial compression capacity. In terms of the calculation method of their axial compression bearing capacity, the current ten domestic standards all provide specific provisions. On the basis of main structure provisions such as diameter-thickness ratio and confinement factor, the formula differences in axial-force compression capability of domestic and international standards are compared and analyzed. First, the difference value of bearing capacities reach up to 62.79% according to current standards when diameter-thickness ratio range from 4 to 30. Second, concrete-filled steel tube members with diameter-thickness ratio greater than 20 and diameter less than 200, the current specifications cannot calculate the axial compressive bearing capacity.

Authors: Qianjin Xia , MingYang Hao , HongSheng Zhang , Hai Zhong 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The tensile and compressive strength, torsional strength, and fatigue strength of wind turbine blades are closely related to the infusion defects during the manufacturing process of blade girders. Inadequate understanding of the resin infiltration process of the glass fiber fabric is one of key factors leading to the infusion defects. This article mainly studies the influence of fabric weft TEX, weft angle, stitch length, and stitch tension on the resin infiltration rate through experiments. The results show that the resin infiltration rate in the 90° direction of fabric increases as weft TEX and weft angle increase and that the infiltration rate in the thickness direction increases when stitch length and stitch tension increase.

Authors: Yuxi Du , Feng Tang , Xin Zhou , Zhiqian Lv 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This paper prepared recycled aggregate pervious concrete by replacing natural aggregate with 100% volume of waste concrete. We carried out experiments to study the influences of strength grade and target porosity of waste recycled aggregate concrete on the recycled one’s compressive strength and permeability coefficient. Then, the optimal proportion meeting the requirements of pervious concrete pavement is obtained, which is expected to be applied to the pavement with low strength requirement and water permeability. The test results of the compressive strength and permeability coefficient of 28-day test cubes show that, considering both the compressive strength and permeability, the best proportion is as follows: the strength grade of recycled aggregate is C20 + C30, the mix proportion of aggregate is 50%, the target porosity is 15%, the water-cement ratio is 0.3, the recycled aggregate is composed of 50% recycled aggregate with a particle size of 4.75-9.5 mm and 50% that of 9.5-19 mm, and the optimal mix proportion of recycled aggregate pervious concrete (kg/m3) is: m (recycled aggregate): m (cement): m (water) = 1357.04:564.94:169.88. The compressive strength and the permeability coefficient of recycled aggregate pervious concrete based on this mix proportion are 25.07 Mpa and 6.23 mm/s, respectively, which are in line with the provisions of Technical Specification for Application of Recycled Aggregate Pervious Concrete (CJJ/T 253-2016) and can be used for pavement. The study results can provide a reference for the promotion and application of recycled aggregate pervious concrete in the pavement.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
This article uses 1,4-dibromobutane, hexadecyl primary amine, sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropionate, formaldehyde and formic acid as raw materials to synthesize a new type of concrete air entraining agent of (1,4)-bis(cetylmethyl hydroxy-propionic acid quaternary ammonium salt) butane through the reaction of ammonia alkylation and quaternization. The article characterizes the molecular architecture of the product, the surface activity of the aqueous solution, the bubble properties, the air entraining and air stabilizing properties of the fresh concrete, and the pore structure of the concrete after hardening. The research results show that the synthesized (1,4)-bis(cetylmethyl hydroxy-propionic acid quaternary ammonium salt) butane has good surface activity in aqueous solution, and its critical micelle concentration (cmc) is 5.3×10-4 mmol/L, γ
cmc
is 28.86 mN/m; (1,4)-bis(cetylmethyl hydroxy-propionic acid quaternary ammonium salt) butane has better air-entraining performance and bubble stability in aqueous solution and concrete than SDS and AOS air entraining agents. The average chord length and spacing coefficient of bubbles in hardened concrete are smaller than that of SDS and AOS air entraining agent, giving rise to a better overall pore structure of the concrete. Compared with SDS and AOS, the concrete mixed with (1,4)-bis(cetylmethyl hydroxy-propionic acid quaternary ammonium salt) butane air entraining agent shows better mechanical property and durability.
Effect of Air Entraining Agents on The Air Void Structure of Concrete
Authors: Song Xin , Ng Serina , Ni Tao , Wang Yong Mei , Ke Feng 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Four different air entraining agents are selected. The air entraining effect and their foaming stabilities in cement pore solution; the impact on air entrainment in fresh concrete; and the variations in air voids and their structures in hardened concrete are compared and studied. The results show that the development in porosity of the hardened concrete mixed with different air entraining agents is consistent with the air entrainment in fresh concretes within the first hour, but deviated from the foaming stability of the air entraining agents in cement pore solutions. Carboxylic based air entraining agents generate calcium soap, whereby such moiety can effectively encapsulate air bubbles. While the stability is insignificant in cement pore solution, the impact is obvious in concrete. When employed alone, the air entraining agent failed to improve both air entrainment of fresh concrete and final concrete structure. Instead, a combination of air entraining agents is found to induce a synergetic effect, effectively enabling both the air-entraining performance and the development of an enhanced porous structure of the hardened concrete.
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Mechanical Behavior of Mixed-Layer Clay upon Hydration
Authors: Yang Yu , Xu Guoyuan 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
A proper understanding of the the mechanical behavior of clay minerals is of crucial importance in earth sciences, soil mechanics, and geotechnical engineering. Although more than seventy percent of all clays are of mixed layer types, the vast majority of the previous studies are devoted to pure clays, which make the hydraulic and mechanical properties of the widespread mixed-layer clay (MLC) and its role in soils are little understood, especially the most common illite-montmorillonite (I-M) mixed-layer clay (MLC). This research reports on a molecular dynamics (MD) study of the differences in mechanical behavior between I-M MLC containing mixed K+ and Na+ and Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT). The variations of key components in stiffness matrix with hydration have been analyzed. It is found that the stiffness tensor of two types of clay could be split into two groups: the in-plane coefficients (C11, C12, C22, and C66) and the out-of-plane coefficients (C13, C23, C33, C44, and C55). Due to the different forms of the support force of the clay layered structure in the two directions, they exhibit significantly different hydration mechanisms. Moreover, the I-M MLC is more difficult to hydrate and swell due to the asymmetric I-M interlayer and the existence of K+, and its ability to resist deformation is stronger than Na-MMT. This work offers insight into the molecular mechanism for initial swelling and mechanical behavior in widespread MLC. This will help to decipher its specific role in soils and controlling clay swelling.
Experimental Study on Silt Liquefaction by Shaking Table Test
Authors: Luo Qiang 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Based on the shaking table test, the liquefaction of silt under earthquake load and the earthquake damage after liquefaction are studied. The test results show that the lower silt is relatively dense, the pore pressure increases slowly, and the pore pressure ratio can not reach the initial liquefaction state. However, under the stronger earthquake action, the dense silt may also produce liquefaction, which indicates that the increase of pore water pressure has a great relationship with the compactness and earthquake intensity under the earthquake load. Because the permeability coefficient of silt is relatively low, the increase and dissipation of pore pressure are relatively slow. After the earthquake, he pore pressure of silt continues to rise, and the liquefaction will be further aggravated.
Study on Corrosion Characteristics of Grounding Materials in High Corrosion Area
Authors: Huang Mingxiang , Zhang Jianxun 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Due to the differences in the causes of corrosion, the soil corrosion characteristics in coastal mountains and coastal areas may be quite different. As a result, there are differences in the corrosion causes, corrosion status and service life of the grounding grids of the transmission line towers built in coastal areas. Based on the difference in apparent resistivity of the soil under the transmission line towers in a coastal area with high corrosion, this paper selects 12 soil samples for physical and chemical analysis. The analysis results show that there are two typical soils of acid and weak alkaline in the transmission line erection area, which are highly corrosive but with different corrosion mechanisms. Then the soil liquids of two typical soils were extracted, and the polarization curve test of carbon steel and galvanized steel, which are commonly used in the grounding grid of poles and towers, was carried out for 7 consecutive days, and the corrosion laws of carbon steel and galvanized steel were obtained. The results show that the corrosiveness of acidic soil is much greater than that of weakly alkaline soil. The corrosion rates of carbon steel and galvanized steel in acidic soil are 3.7 times and 5.2 times that of weakly alkaline soil, respectively. In addition, using the extracted soil liquid, a 30-day accelerated corrosion experiment was performed on carbon steel and galvanized steel, and an empirical formula for the change of corrosion weight with time was obtained. Combined with the surface morphology characteristics and corrosion rate after corrosion, this paper analyzed corrosion mechanism of two grounding materials. The research results of this paper provide a reference for the selection and application of grounding materials.
