    A Review on Durability Analysis of FRP Bars based on Different Factors in Alkaline Environment

    The primary issue with concrete structures is steel bar corrosion. Therefore, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) bars are often to substitute steel bars to tackle the issue of concrete swelling and cracking brought about by steel corrosion. FRP bars’ feature improved corrosion resistance, a stronger strength-to-quality ratio, and better fatigue resistance. However, the alkaline environment will affect the long-term strength and durability of FRP, according to certain research, which will cause the FRP bars’ mechanical characteristics to deteriorate. In this paper, the properties of FRP bars under alkaline conditions are reviewed, considering the harsh external environment and physical properties of FRP bars. Comprehensive investigation concludes that lowering the PH value of concrete and changing the kind of fiber material may considerably increase the endurance of FRP in alkaline environments. By demonstrating the microscopic breakdown process of FRP bars in an alkaline conditions using scanning electron microscopy. The Arrhenius acceleration theory was used to construct the present model for forecasting the long-term mechanical behavior of FRP bars, which shows how this material degrades under alkaline circumstances. This study may be utilized as a reference for FRP bars used in alkaline environments in terms of durability studies.

    Research on the influence of various factors on the fluorescence function of silver nanoclusters as biomarkers

    This review focuses on the impact of numerous conditions on the fluorescence function of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) as biomarkers. Factors such as particle size, structure and different ligand types are explored. First off, differential stability, sensitivity, cellular uptake, and biodistribution as well as red or blue shifts in absorption and emission wavelengths are caused by varied particle sizes. Furthermore, in the context of detecting microRNA using AgNC-based probes, the presence of a mismatched self-dimer structure is also crucial for achieving a significant red emission. In the final section, the considerable influence of ligands—divided into primary and secondary ligands—on the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of atomically accurate AgNCs is examined with a focus on Ag29 nanoclusters.

    Pavement damage monitoring using electromechanical impedance of embedded piezoelectric plate

    Piezoelectric transducers have seen widespread usage in the monitoring of structural health. It has tremendous potential for monitoring the health of infrastructure, especially pavement monitoring. In the present study, the impedance characteristics of a piezoelectric plate embedded in the pavement is utilized to monitor the health status of the pavement. Based on the piezoelectricity principle, a model of an electromechanical piezoelectric plate embedded in pavement is established. The damage of the pavement is considered as the thickness decreasing of the pavement layer. The present proposed model is verified by comparing its degeneration with the exact solution of a single layer model. Numerical results demonstrated that with the deceasing of the thickness of the pavement, which is considered as the deterioration of the pavement, the achievable maximum electromechanical impedance characterization including impedance, admittance and conductance decreased. This demonstrated that the achievable maximum impedance, admittance and conductance of an embedded piezoelectric plate could be used as the indicator of pavement health monitoring. This study primarily presents theoretical underpinnings for pavement monitoring using electromechanical impedance of piezoelectric plates.

    Transformable architecture: An alternative for human communication in a post-pandemic world

    Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, people's lifestyles have been significantly changed. In a post-epidemic era, some of the existing social problems are magnified by the changes in lifestyle. Temporary isolation at home becomes commonplace and continuously makes people think more carefully and deeply about their houses' functionality, safety, and comfort. In addition, the emotional impact of the epidemic has also forced people to get more security and happiness from the outside environment. By summarizing the problems of the existing buildings during the epidemic, this paper collects and studies different types and characteristics of movable architecture to conclude how these transformable designs can help people deal with the problems exposed in functional space and mental needs arising from the epidemic era. The results of different transformable architecture techniques on spatial boundaries are summarized from transformable or movable buildings. The combination and penetration of transformable architecture with different scales of space are used as the entry point to propose that movable architecture can promote communication and exchange between people. The core value of movable architecture is to break the inherent boundary of architectural space and make more connections between the inside and outside space. Thus, it lays the foundation for having more face-to-face communication between people.

    Seismic reinforcement analysis and measurement research of reinforced concrete frame structure

    In China, there are many reinforced concrete frame buildings that have reached the end of their design life, or have not been designed with seismic requirements in mind and need to be reinforced. In this paper, a reinforced concrete frame structure which needs to be reinforced is taken as an example. Two common reinforcement methods are used to reinforce the reinforced concrete frame structure by adding shear wall and increasing column section. BIM-GSSAP software is used to analyze maximum inter-storey drift angle and the member response under frequent earthquakes, and the whole structure of the weak layer under rare earthquakes is checked. The results show that both methods can significantly improve the seismic performance of buildings. At the same time, combined with the project example, the advantages and disadvantages of the construction process are analyzed, which can provide a useful case reference for this kind of reinforced concrete frame structure projects.

    Structural analysis and optimization of steel truss bridge based on finite element method

    In view of the defects of the current mainstream structural safety analysis method of Truss bridge, the safety analysis method at the component level should be further developed. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the overall safety analysis and structural optimization at the structural level. Based on the concrete data of the actual steel truss beam bridge, this paper uses ABAQUS and MIDAS finite element software to model the truss structure. First of all, the static analysis is carried out, and then the structural analysis and optimization of the steel truss beam bridge is carried out with the elastic modulus reduction method. Based on the linear elastic finite element method, the bearing state of each component is solved, and the ultimate bearing capacity of the whole structure is calculated iteratively. Thus, the limitation of incremental nonlinear finite element method is overcome, and higher calculation accuracy and efficiency are realized.

    Research on comfort analysis method and optimization design of pedestrian bridge

    In this paper, the characteristics and modes of pedestrian load are summarized, and the norms of pedestrian load in different countries are compared. At the same time, the pedestrian excitation load is briefly introduced .Then, combining the three conditions of single, double and three-person pedestrian load with the above four common pedestrian load conditions, 12 groups of different load conditions are formed, and the case study is carried out, and the conclusion is drawn as follows: Under the condition of slow walking, the vertical peak acceleration response of the structure under inconsistent stride length slightly increases, but the impact on the pedestrian comfort of the bridge is not significant. When walking slowly and at the same pace, the vertical peak acceleration of the structure increases significantly, which has a significant impact on the pedestrian comfort of the bridge. The common vibration control measures are also introduced. Through the comparison of relevant regulations, combined with case studies and common vibration control measures, it is hoped that it will be helpful to improve the comfort of pedestrian Bridges in the future, and the relevant regulations in China will be revised.
