Abstract:This paper reviews the hot research topic of the performance deterioration and preventive maintenance of in-service concrete bridges. As complicated structural systems, concrete bridges have characteristics of multiple causes of structural damage, complex degradation mechanisms of materials, and difficult assessment of the structural performance. Due to the combined action of the environmental and loading effects, the properties of steel reinforcement and concrete materials deteriorate, which leads to a decrease in the load-carrying capacity of the structural components and ultimately affects the structural performance of the whole concrete bridge. This paper discusses the performance deterioration and preventive maintenance of the in-service concrete bridges in many aspects, such as the material degradation mechanism, the simulations of the mechanical performance dete-rioration of materials and structures, the evaluations of service performance, the predictions of remaining service life, and the determination of preventive maintenance strategies. Meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed models and methods are compared and analyzed. Consequently, from different levels of materials, components and structures of the existing concrete bridges, it analyses the degradation characteristics of bridge materials at the meso-scale level, investigates the damage mechanisms and failure process of the bridge components, and further examines the deterioration laws of the mechanical performance of the in-service concrete bridges at macro-scale level. Finally, based on the analysis and review of the existing investigations, it proposes the current issues in the performance deterioration and preventive maintenance of the in-service concrete bridges, provides new frameworks for future research, and offers the scientific basis for the smart operation and maintenance management throughout the whole life cycle of bridges.

Abstract:【Objective】The aim of this study is to uncover the bonding mechanism between ribbed steel bars and high-strength cementitious soil. Thirty-three cubic pull-out specimens with dimensions of 150 mm×150 mm×150 mm were produced using an existing cementitious soil solidifier ratio.【Method】Through direct pull-out tests, the influence of anchorage length, cementitious soil cover thickness, and steel bar diameter on the bonding performance between steel bars and cementitious soil was analyzed.【Result】The experiments indicate that the bonding strength at the interface between steel bars and cementitious soil decreases with the increase of anchorage length. The optimal cover thickness for steel bars and cementitious soil is between 2 to 3 times the diameter of the steel bar.【Conclusion】As the diameter of the steel bar increases, the impact of the diameter growth on the bonding strength decreases, especially when the diameter exceeds 10 mm.

Abstract:【Objective】To better evaluate the prestress loss of in-service prestressed concrete bridge structures, 【Method】this article takes the 32 m prestressed concrete box girder, which is widely used in domestic highspeed railways, as the research object. 26 test model beams using C50 concrete were produced by converting the box girder into a T-shaped section at a scale of 1:16. The strain and elongation of the prestressed steel strand in the experimental beam were continuously and continuously monitored to determine the actual value of prestress loss, which was then compared and analyzed with the values calculated by commonly used prestress loss calculation specifications at home and abroad.【Result】The findings demonstrate that prestress loss mainly occurs in the early stage, which is instantaneous loss, accounting for about 70% of the total loss. 84.6% of the anchoring losses of the experimental beam account for over 70% of the total instantaneous losses, with a maximum of 80.57%. The long-term loss of the experimental beam fluctuates dramatically in the first 10 days after anchoring and gradually stabilizes in the later stage. Comparing the calculation results of the five specifications with the measured values in the experiment, the data shows that the measured data is most consistent with the calculation results of the "Code for Design of Railway Bridges and Culverts" (TB 10002—2017).【Conclusion】The research results can provide reference for the calculation of prestress loss of prestressed beams in practical engineering.

Abstract:【Objective】In order to study the longitudinal force and deformation law of CWR of ballastless track on the continuous rigid bridge of the metro,and to provide theoretical guidance for the design improvement, operation and maintenance.【Method】Based on the principle of beam-plate-rail interaction, a spatial fine coupling model of CWR of the integral track bed type ballastless track on the continuous rigid bridge of the metro was established,and under stretching, bending,braking and broken rail conditions, the displacementtrack and longitudinal force of track structure and bridge were calculated, and the static characteristics of the track structure were compared and analyzed. This paper provides a reference for the design of CWR track structure on continuous rigid bridge of metro.【Result】The results show that when the midpoint of the double-line train load coincides with the end of the middle beam, the vertical load of the train is the most unfavorable working condition, and the force of the rail and the displacement of the rail and bridge are the largest, and the values are 70.3 kN, 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm, respectively. When the tail of the double-line brake load train is located at the end of the beams on both sides, the most unfavorable working condition of the train braking load, at this time,the longitudinal force of the rail and the longitudinal displacement of the rail and the bridge are the largest, and the values are 107.8 kN, 1.6 mm and 1.7 mm, respectively.【Conclusion】Under expansion force, each end bridge joint is a weak part, and attention should be paid to the structure at the end bridge joint of the beam in the usual maintenance to prevent rail breakage due to excessive expansion force; When the rail is broken under cooling conditions, the longitudinal force and longitudinal displacement of the broken rail are abruptly changed at the fracture, which seriously affects the safety of the line.

Abstract:【Purpose】In order to optimize the emergency response and address the inefficiencies observed in traditional dispatch models, this study tries to develop a scheduling method, which considers a range of emergency dispatch modes.【Method】Considering the characteristics of emergency parking lot dispatching capacity, vehicle transportation capacity, and vehicle rescue time, a multi-objective combination scheduling optimization model is constructed with the goal of minimizing the evacuation cost of emergency public transportation vehicles and minimizing the average passenger delay. Based on the characteristics of the model, a fast non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-Ⅱ) was proposed to solve the problem. In order to improve the diversity of the population and the performance of the algorithm, corresponding improvements were made to the algorithm. The Pareto distribution optimization solution set was obtained, and the optimal compromise solution was selected from it using a membership function. Finally, the Nanchang Rail Transit Line 1 was used as an example to separately evaluate the emergency bus combination dispatch plan and the single scheduling scheme are solved separately.【Result】Results show that the proposed combination dispatch plan reduced passenger delay time by 20.48% and transportation costs by 16.96% compared to traditional single dispatch plans. Additionally, the improved NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm further reduced passenger delay time and transportation costs by 6.72% and 3.59%, respectively.【Conclusion】Sensitivity analysis shows that, with clear demands of stranded passengers, fleet size negatively correlated with the average delay time of stranded passengers and positively correlated with emergency bus transportation costs.

Abstract:【Purpose】In order to solve the problem of image classification models lacking open set generalization due to traditional closed set training methods when facing open set recognition problems, we propose a separate independent classification network structure.【Method】Each category contains an independent linear feature layer. The neural nodes designed in the feature layer can capture the category features more accurately under limited data samples. At the same time, a class of negative samples without labeling is introduced in the model training, so that the model not only relies on the feature difference of the known categories when constructing the decision boundary, but also increases the open set generalization of the model decision boundary without adding additional labeled samples.【Result】The results show that both the ICOR model structure and the open-set adaptive training strategy can effectively improve the OSR performance of traditional models; with the increase of openness, it can demonstrate better robustness; can more effectively reduce the OSR risk of the model. 【Conclusion】The proposed independent classification network combined with open-set adaptive training algorithm has better open-set recognition performance than existing open-set recognition algorithms.

Abstract:【Objective】In terms of the rail material, residual stress, temperature stress and other factors, work conditions are respectively designed to explore the influences of rail bottom crack expansion.【Method】Based on the theory of fracture mechanics, combined with rail bottom measurement, the model of rail bottom crack expansion has been established and indicators such as critical crack size, average crack extension rate as well as remaining life has been quantified.【Result】It is found that there exists positive correlation between the fracture toughness of rail material and the remaining life. The remaining life of U95Cr H is less than U78CrV H, which is less than U75V H. Taking U78CrV H, used in the line under test, as an example, when the residual stress grows from 0 to 300 MPa, the critical crack size grows by about 2.5% and the remaining life decreases by about 6%; and when the residual stress is 200 MPa, with the temperature stress from 0 to 200 MPa, the critical crack size does not change much and is within 1%.【Conclusion】The research results of the article can provide reference for the research and maintenance of rail bottom crack propagation.
