Seismic Design Strategy of High Pier Bridge

Jianmin He — 2024-05-21

China’s infrastructure construction has been continuously improving in recent years, especially its highway construction, which spans from north to south and connects east to west. Some special areas are also interconnected through bridges, but constructing highway bridges through complex terrains or across valleys and mountain gullies presents significant challenges, requiring an increase in the height of bridge piers. These bridge piers generally reach tens or even hundreds of meters in height. Furthermore, the construction of these high-pier bridges is becoming increasingly widespread. Not only do they pose greater construction challenges, but they also have higher requirements for seismic resistance. This article primarily analyzes the characteristics of high-pier bridges and proposes seismic design schemes, calculation methods, and design strategies to enhance the construction quality of high-pier bridges.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Fine-Grained Soil Content on the Freezing Strength of Aeolian Sand-Cement Interface

Junhui Hu — 2024-05-21

In cold regions, understanding the freezing strength of the interface between soil and structure is crucial for designing frost-resistant foundations. To investigate how the content of cement powder in aeolian sand affects this strength, we conducted direct shear tests under various conditions such as different fine-grained soil content, normal stress, and initial moisture content of the soil. By analyzing parameters like soil properties, and volume of ice content, and using the Mohr-Coulomb strength theory to define interface strength, we aimed to indirectly measure the cementation strength of the interface. Our findings revealed that as the particle content increased, the interface stress-strain curves became noticeably stiffer. We also observed a positive linear relationship between freezing strength and silt content, while the initial moisture content of the soil did not significantly impact the strengthening effect of fine-grained soil on freezing strength. Moreover, we discovered that as the powder content increased, the force binding the ice to the interface decreased, while the friction angle at the interface increased. However, the cohesion force at the interface remained relatively unchanged. Overall, our analysis suggests that the increase in freezing strength due to fine-grained soil content is primarily due to the heightened friction between aeolian sand and the interface.

Living in a Condominium Regime: Neighborhood Conflicts in Low-Income Housing, Tijuana, Baja California – A Secondary Publication

M. Zárate López — 2024-05-20

This paper analyzes neighborhood conflicts arising from the condominium property regime, under which social housing promoted by Mexican government institutions and private developers is acquired. This regime has facilitated access to housing for the salaried population, but it is far from contributing to the attainment of the right to housing. The research takes as case studies housing complexes located in the city of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The analysis included a mixed methodology. Firstly, similar case studies were analyzed; secondly, a review of the Condominium Property Regime Law was carried out in order to understand its implications. In view of the pandemic situation, a virtual survey was applied to the inhabitants of these areas, as well as interviews with presidents of neighborhood committees of these complexes. From the above, it was found that this form of ownership generates conflicts, reflected in the dissatisfaction of the inhabitants with their housing, disagreements and controversies in their organization and coexistence. The inhabitants have to collectively solve the problems they face, related to the maintenance and use of common areas, insecurity, and cleanliness, among others. In addition, there is a lack of support from local authorities. With this, it is concluded that although the inhabitants have a space that solves their housing problem, it does not manage to be a space that adequately guarantees their right to housing.
