Abstract:Based on the creep experiment results of Shapai RCC concreteand in light of the solidification theory of concrete creep, the mathematical formula for visco-elastic strain of Shapai concrete are derived and a nonlinear method for calculating the temperature creep stress of the dam concrete is presented. According to the material parameters and surrounding information of the Dam, the 3-D temperature and stress distribution in the process of construction are simulated. It is found that if the temperature of concrete rises at first anddeclines later, the temperature tension stress calculated by linear theory is smaller than that by nonlinear creep theory. It is concluded that the non-reverse creeping of concrete can not be ignored in simulating analysis.

Key words:dam simulating analysis; temperature stress; concrete creep; non-reverse creep.

Abstract: Experimental results of concrete show that the initial yield stress is linearly dependent on stress when there is no deviatoric stress and the softening phenomena will emerge after dilatancy but not all softening is accompanied by dilatancy. On this basis, a non-associated constitutive model for concrete is established by means of semi-empirical and semi-theoretical method. The method has the properties as follows: stress-strain curve is smooth during monotone loading; the stress at peak point obeys the law of William-Wanke strength model for three parameters; the variation has a steady trend even in the softening period; volume compression and dilatancy can be well described.

Key words: plasticity; constitutive; concrete; non-associated; internal variable .

Abstract: The experimental result of wedge splitting test is presented in this paper. The sub critical crack propagation lengthΔαc is calculated according to the maximum load Pmax and corresponding crack mouth opening displacement CMODc on the basis of linear asymptotic theory. Furthermore, the initial fracture toughness KiniIc,unstable fracturetoughness KunIc and critical crack tip opening displacement CTODc are obtained by using the fictitious crack model combining with linear elastic fracture theory. The result shows that the unstable fracture toughness KunIc, initial fracture toughness KiniIc and CTODc are independent of α0/hwhen α0/h of the specimen is≥0.4. While the KiniIc calculated from different cohesive stress equation will not be constant.

Key words: concrete; crack; fracture parameter, fictitious crackmodel.

Abstract: In this paper, the macroscopic water uptake models widely used in modeling the water flow in soil-plant system are evaluated by using the precisely obtained evaptranspiration and soil water content da-ta from the lysimeter and the root distribution data obtained in the wheat field nearby. Meanwhile, the Molz-Remson model and Selim-Iskandar model are modified with the Feddes reduction function, and the Feddes model is modified with the root length density to account for the role of root distribution. Those models are incorporated into the soil water flow equations as extraction term. The flow equations are numerically solved with the measured evapotranspiration as input. The predicted and measured soil water content profiles are compared to evaluate the validity of the extraction term models. Results show that:(1)the average deviation of the molz-Remson (linear) model, Feddes model and Selim-Iskandar model got as high as 20%,and the Molz-Remson model 13%;(2)modifications made to the Molz-Remson model and Iskandar model did not achieve any improvement to the model behavior,but that to the Feddes model achieved a great success in lifting its prediction ability.

Key words: water uptake by root; soil water; winter wheat;evapotranspiration.
