  • Aerodynamic Challenge and Limitation in Long-Span Cable-Supported Bridges
    Keynote Paper Aerodynamic challenge and limitation in long-span cable-supported bridges 1) * Yao-Jun Ge 1) SLDRCE, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200092, China [email protected] ABSTRACT As one of the most formidable challenges on long-span cable-supported bridges, recent advances in wind engineering studies have been presented in the aspects of flutter instability, torsional divergence and stay cable vibration. Successful aerodynamic stabilization for long-span suspension bridges is reviewed, which is followed by current studies of several super long suspension bridges with a main span from 1680m in the 2nd Humen Bridge to 2016m in Sunda Strat Bridge. It seems that the intrinsic limit of span length due to aerodynamic stability is about 1,500m for a traditional suspension bridge, but slotted box deck could provide a 5,000m span length as the aerodynamic limit to a suspension bridge with high enough critical flutter and torsional speed. Since long-span cable-stayed bridge intrinsically has quite good aerodynamic stability based on close-box deck and spatial cables, rain-wind induced vibration and mitigation are discussed as a main aerodynamic challenge. In order to reveal the aerodynamic limit span length two super long cable-stayed bridges, with single 1400m span and double 1500m spans in Qiongzhou Strait Bridge, have been experimentally investigated through sectional and full models in flutter and torsional instability. 1. INTRODUCTION Cable-supported bridge can be defined as a bridge with the deck supported by hangers or cables, which are held up by pylons or main cables, and accordingly divided into two kinds, suspension bridge with greater bridging capacity and cable-stayed bridge.

But China remains one of the top investment hotspots in the world, despite ongoing trade and other disputes the country faces. While it is true that companies and countries are relocating or building up additional supply chains to lessen their dependence on China, it is also a fact that no other country has the industrial capacity, growing middle class and growth potential. The Chinese market attracts the most foreign direct investment and it well may do so for many years to come, given the large untapped markets in the central and western part of the country. Earlier this year, Premier Li Keqiang mentioned that there are 600 million Chinese citizens living with RMB 1,000 of monthly disposable income. While this may sounds surprising, it also shows the potential that Chinese inner regions have for the future. Investing in China and selling to the Chinese consumers is something that makes sense for companies from around the world. The development zones listed in this directory are here to support and help foreign investors to deal with the unique challenges in the Chinese market.

The port construction, land reclamation, urban development and silt deposition in the Ningbo coastal zone have resulted in extensive coastline change. In this study, the spatio-temporal change of the Ningbo coastlines during 1976–2015 was detected and analysed using Landsat time-series images from different sensors, including Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Operational Land Imager (OLI). Fourteen individual scenes (covering seven phases) of cloud-free Landsat images within the required tidal range of ±63 cm were collected. The ZiYuan-3 (ZY-3) image of 2015 was used to extract the reference coastline for the accuracy assessment.

  • Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta
    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.

  • The Evolution Pathways, Dynamics and Perspectives of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port (China)
    From a feeder port to a hub port: the evolution pathways, dynamics and perspectives of Ningbo-Zhoushan port (China) Abstract: This paper analyses the spatio-temporal evolution of Ningbo-Zhoushan port growing from a feeder port to a hub port finding the historical pathways followed by its expanding in terms of container throughput capacity and total traffic. The dynamic mechanism of evolution is the results of economic globalization, containerization and its natural endowments in channel and terminal depths. Analysis of the traffic evolution and its underlying dynamics suggest 3 periods in the development processes of container transport in Ningbo-Zhoushan: (1) adoption period (1986-2000) in which the main dynamics is the impact of the Chinese ‘Open Door policy’; (2) acceleration period (2001-2008) in which the dynamics is related of the mainland China’s entry into the WTO; (3) peak growth period (2009-now) in which the dynamics is impacted by the anti-crisis strategy against the financial and economic crisis in 2008. We analyse the perspectives of Ningbo-Zhoushan port. ARIMA model is employed to forecast the container traffic in the coming future; about after 2026, the throughput in Ningbo-Zhoushan port would reach about 49 million TEU which would be approximately equal to that of Shanghai port. The resultant port development would exemplify a model of spatial distribution such as a multi-layered gateway hub. In the respect of growth potential, Ningbo-Zhoushan port possesses excellent coastline resource suitable for deep-water berthing, bonded port policy and free trade zone policy. Geographical position, service level, hinterland economic level and government will support its perspectives.

Accepted 3 February, 2012 Fourteen symbiotic isolates were obtained from root nodules of Casuarina equisetifolia and Casuarina cunninghamiana in Zhejiang, China. All isolates exhibited typical Frankia morphological characteristics, including filamentous hyphae, vesicles, and multilocular sporangia borne terminally or in an intercalary position. Combined with 16S rDNA sequence alignment results, all isolates were identified as Frankia spp. 4 isolates belonged to the physical Group A, 7 to Group B, and 3 to Group AB. The strains demonstrated varied nitrogenase activities, with the ZCN192 strain being the highest (2.897 μmol·mg-1h-1) and ZCN199 the lowest (0.056 μmol·mg-1h-1). After in vivo inoculation, all strains significantly increased seedling height, basal diameter, and dry biomass of Casuarina spp. Generally, strains with higher nitrogenase activities exhibited more effective nitrogen fixation in vivo. Keywords: Casuarina spp., Frankia, identification, nitrogen fixation effect.
