2019, 6(2): 1-6. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2019.02.001
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  This paper aims to promote the establishment of a complete technical standards system for offshore wind farms.  [Method]  The problems existing in the construction of offshore wind farms in China were pointed out, the standards for offshore wind farm facilities at home and abroad were summarized, and the exploration and effectiveness of the technical specifications for offshore wind power facilities by China Classification Society(CCS) were introduced.  [Result]  Despite the rapid development of offshore wind power in China, the supporting technical specifications for offshore wind power facilities have not been followed up in time, and the whole life cycle technical specifications system, including design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance and abandonment, has not been established. Although Europe has a mature specifications system for offshore wind power facilities, it cannot be completely copied and used, such as the LRFD method of structural design which is related to the environmental conditions and reliability index of the sea area, and the partial factor applicable to the European sea area is not applicable to the Chinese sea area.  [Conclusion]  Therefore, the technical specification system for the domestic offshore wind power facilities requires the joint efforts and cooperation of the industry, traditional ocean engineering specialty should play a greater role in this field, and the research achievements by CCS in this field can provide some reference values for the establishment of the technical specification system.

Abstract:
  [Introduction]  To develop the technical and economical efficiency of traditional photovoltaic (PV) power generation, new type dual-axis tracking PV power generation technology is proposed, that focuses on the solution to the fixed PV on water surface.  [Method]  A new type of ground and water-based dual-axis tracking PV power generation technology was provided, where single-axis PV arrays were arranged on a large disc supported by trusswork structure, and rotated very slowly with a fixed center.Based on the layout of PV array, the land and energy utilization of this new system were analyzed. Moreover, compared with the traditional PV, the technical and economic analysis, which indicated the increasing of power generation and cost of the new system, was achieved.  [Result]  The new dual-axis tracking system conserve land, which would only cover about 50% of the area for the traditional dual-axis tracking technology.The proposal system increases power generation. The dual-axis tracking type system increases by 35%~45% compared with the fixed PV system. The water surface PV will increase by another 6%~15%.Stable period of power generation could be achieved fastly.Only one azimuth and altitude angle detection device are needed for new dual-axis tracking system. One driven device could satisfy the azimuth angle tracking and altitude angle tracking system could be driven by centralized power supply in different regions. The technical and economic indicators are better, especially compared with the traditional water surface PV system.Easy operation and maintenance could be available. Gantry crane frame structure is adopted, and it is convenient to repair and clean the steel truss with equal spacing moving forward, backward, left and right, up and down.  [Conclusion]  The new dual-axis tracking system is more economical, power generation more stable and more convenient maintanence, which could have popularization prospect.

2019, 6(2): 84-88. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2019.02.015
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  The paper aims to research the settlement regular and mechanism of the ash dam according to the similarities and differences of measured settlement and conventional settlement regular analysing results.  [Method]  Firstly, the conventional settlement regular and mechanism of shield construction were introduced in details. Secondly, the settlement regular of the ash dam was researched by the measured settlement curve of the tunnel through the ash dam, and the measured settlement, numerical simulation of settlement and conventional settlement regular were comprised and analysed. Finally, the causes of the sudden change of the settlement of the ash dam were analysed, and the settlement mechanism of the ash dam was obtained.  [Result]  The results show that the stone riprap of ash dam is large and uneven, its cohesive force is poor, and its gap is large, thus lead to shield excavate difficulty and easy to cause over-excavation and under-excavation, which is the reason for the difference between ash dam settlement and general settlement law. After the shield tunneling, all the measuring points are sliding towards the tunnel palm face rapidly, shows that there are some external factors causing formation deformation and mutation, the law of actual measurement is obviously inconsistent with the general law. The recombination of ash dam stone riprap structure causes the stratum to slip to the palm face, the surface subsidence mechanism of ash dam is obtained. The results of this paper also show that the ash dam reinforcement is very important to the shield construction safety.  [Conclution]  The research results can provide references for other similar projects.

Abstract:
  [Introduction]  Cycle load has effect on the rock strength and mechanical characteristics and China still lack the research on dynamic characteristic parameter of mechanism of medium weathering sandstone.  [Method]  According to test physical parameters of 90 medium weathering sandstones, the deep and velocity of sonic were presented as power founction, then MTS machine was used to conduct cyclic load test in different amplitude obtain the sample′s law of hysteretic cycle, dynamic elastic modulus, axial strain and damping ratio in axial cyclic load.  [Result]  The results show that the velocity is increasing with the increasing of the depth. The density of sample approximate 2.50 g/cm3. The axial strain and plastic displacement are increasing with the increasing of rounds. The increasing area of hysteretic cycle means that rock inner cracks is creating continuously resulting to increasing consumption of energy.The form of hysteretic cycle is same as sharp leaf and what it′s sharp but not around in the time of increasing stress or decreasing stress means that the sample reflection of changing stress is rapid and the plastic displacement in the time of changing stress is little relatively. The dynamic elastic modulus is increasing and damping ratio is decreasing with the increasing of dynamic strain. The math relations between either elastic modulus or damping and dynamic strain is presented as linear. The correlation coefficient R2 is almost above 0.85 showing good relevance.  [Conclusion]  This work provides some guidance for further study on testing and evaluation of dynamic characteristic parameters for soft rock foundation of nuclear power plant.
