Because the damage of the structure often begins with cracks, it brings harm and risk to social production and life. Especially with the rapid development of my country's capital construction in recent decades, it is very necessary to understand and solve the ancient and novel problem of cracks in concrete structures. With the exploration and research of long-term engineering practice, with the continuous development of technology and productivity, people have realized that the generation of harmful cracks can be controlled through effective technical means. That is to say, through the organic combination of design and construction, the influence of cracks can be prevented from being harmful.展开更多

Coarse graining is a promising approach to facilitatethe application of DEM to industrial problems. While the current coarse graining framework is often developedin an ad-hoc manner, leading to different formulations and different solution accuracy and efficiency. Therefore,in this paper, existing coarse graining techniques have been carefully analysed by the exact scaling law which canprovide the theory basis for the upscaling method. A proper scaling rule for the size of particles and samples as wellas interaction laws have been proposed. The scaling rule is applied to a series simulations of biaxial compressiontests with different scale factors to investigate the precision of the coarse graining system. The error between theoriginal system and the coarse system shows a growing tendency as the scale factor increases. It can be concludedthat the precision of the coarse graining system is accepted when applying scaling rules based on the exact scalinglaws.展开更多

However, the current evaluation systems for various types of green buildings are often unable to achieve a set of standards in practice due to the distinct regional characteristics of each region. Therefore, in view of the regional characteristics of the climate, terrain, ecology, and economic development in the cold regions of Sichuan, it is important to study the evaluation system of green residential buildings suitable for the cold regions of Sichuan. This article focuses on the regional characteristics of climate, topography, ecology, and economic development in the cold regions of Sichuan, and discusses the limitations of the current standards on the practice of green building in cold regions of Sichuan through a sociological questionnaire survey on the comfort of living in the local population. Then from the two dimensions of the advantages of traditional houses and the particularity of national culture, the strategies for the optimization and improvement of the evaluation index system for green residential buildings in the cold regions of Sichuan were proposed. After comprehensively considering the factors that affect the green residential buildings, including the regional characteristics of the cold regions of Sichuan, and the green performance of buildings, local characteristics and ethnic features were included in the evaluation system. The evaluation index system of green residential buildings in the cold regions of Sichuan, consists of 92 three-level indicators. A professional hierarchical analysis software yaahp was used to establish a multi-level hierarchical model between the indicators, and the indicators were compared with each other layer by layer to clarify the importance of the indicators. Based on this, a judgment matrix for each layer was constructed and obtained. The weight of each indicator is accurate, and the scoring mechanism and grading standards are constructed according to it. Through the calculation, the consistency test of the entire model was passed, thereby confirming the scientificity and rationality of the entire evaluation system.展开更多

Urban construction has an important relationship with urban mental outlook and social residents living conditions. In the urban construction work, the planning and design of river regulation landscape is an important work content. In the case of advocating the green ecological concept in China, the city government needs to pay attention to the urban construction work. This paper briefly describes the basic functions of river courses and the basic contents of ecological restoration design, and describes the design technology of river courses under the concept of ecological restoration design. Taking City A as an example, it explains the relevant links of landscape planning and design of urban river courses, so as to improve urban river courses.展开更多

It starts from product planning, extends to customers through the whole manufacturing process and coordination of supplier systems, and becomes the most standard global production system in the 20th century-lean production mode. With the overall promotion of EPC general contracting mode in our country, the lean construction extending from lean production mode to construction industry will surely usher in great application and development space. It will completely change the traditional engineering implementation technology and mode, and thus create a new engineering project management mode with the goal of "win-win, integrated delivery".展开更多
