In order to provide reference basis for the disaster prevention and mitigation work of rainstorm-flood disaster on mountainous highway, the Bayesian network was used to study the damage to highway structures in the disaster chain under different circumstances. The evolutional process of rainstorm-flood disasters on mountainous highway with chain-rules characteristic was divided into a rainstorm disaster chain and a highway-structure destruction chain. Based on the Bayesian complex network theory, interaction modes between highway structures were analyzed. A Bayesian network inference model was built for rainstorm-flood disaster chain on mountainous highway on the basis of historical data on disasters in Chongqing city and Hunan province. The effectiveness of the model was checked by a case study of a disaster occurred on the section of provincial highway 221 between Wuyang and Lixiqiao town in Suining county Hunan province on June 18, 2015. The result shows that Bayesian network inference under different combined evidence can be implemented by using Bayesian network toolbox with network framework construction, node parameter setting, joint tree inference engine calling and so on, and that prediction result obtained by using the conforms with the actual disaster condition.

The grid structural welding connections are prone to damage. In order to ensure the safety of a structure in its service life, a two-step damage identification method was worked out based on wavelet transformation and strain modal methods. In the first step, the acceleration response of every connection was calculated when weld damage occurs at given connection. The singular value of the high-frequency component of the calculated acceleration signal was analyzed by using wavelet transformation method, and then the impacted range by the damaged connection was determined according to the amplitude of singular value, which was used to divide the structural sub-regions. Besides, an accelerometer was placed at the given connection. In the second step, the acceleration responses of these accelerometers were measured and analyzed by using wavelet transformation method to identify the damaged sub-region in the structure. Then, in the identified damaged sub-region, the strain modal analysis method was selected to locate the damaged connection. Finally, the proposed method was verified by the experiment on a gird structural model. The results indicate that the proposed method can be used to identify the sub-region containing damaged welded connection in the structure by using acceleration signals measured from finite accelerometers, and locate the damaged connections in the sub-region, and that the proposed method is feasible to realize damage identification on large complex grid structures because very few sensors are required.

In order to improve the effect of damage diagnosis for offshore platforms, and accurately determine both location and degree of damages, an improved diagnosis method based on modal strain energy was worked out, with which the mistakes of multi-judgement and mis-judgement happening in the traditional analysis and processing of modal strain energy can be avoided. Firstly, the modal strain energy based indexes under actual condition were calculated for the elements. Then the indexes were decomposed into several single damage condition indexes, and the weight coefficients of each single damage condition index to actual condition index were extracted and calculated. Finally, the diagnosis indexes were corrected according to the distribution difference of weight coefficient in different modes, and used to diagnose the damage. Finite element simulation tests of an indoor jacket offshore platform model were performed to verify the improved method. The results show that the damage diagnosis reached by using the method is consistent with the multi-damage conditions of the platform structure, which proves the method is effective and feasible for offshore platform damage diagnosis.

Broken surrounding rock, complex grouting ways and obvious rheology are widespread in the deep gateway. Exploring cementation mode and creep control model of broken rock body in deep gateway is beneficial to surrounding rock stability. Specimens of marble and gritstone were obtained by four steps: sampling, splitting, creep, and cementation. Creep tests of cementation reinforcement on two groups of marble specimens and gritstone ones were carried out by means of an RLW-2000 triaxial rheological system. Basic creep characteristics of splitting damaged cementation rock were analyzed. A basic cementation mode of split rock was determined. A basic creep constitutive model of split cementation rock was deduced, and the inversion analysis was carried out. The results show that as creep stress level increases continuously, creep strain of the marble will undergo a process including a slow increase stage, a rapid increase stage, and an abrupt increase stage, creep strain of the gritstone will undergo a process including a decrease stage, a stable stage, and an increase stage, and the fractures in all the specimens will be compacted continuously, extended, interconnected and failed, which results in failure, that there are two modes of rock cementation: the tight cementation and the thickness one, the tight cementation is better than thickness one, that the thicker the cementation is in thickness cementation specimen, the higher the strength of the cementation specimen will be, while the increasing trend will be damped, that the M-K-B constitutive model can reflect the basic creep characteristics of cementation rock, and that when cementation coefficient increases, the creep strain of cementation rock decreases, while the decreasing rate tends to decrease under the same creep stress level.

To study the synergistic effect of MB on the flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties of intumescent fire-retardant coatings, the properties of the coatings with different contents of MB were analyzed by cone calorimeter test, cabinet method test, tunnel method test, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that a proper content of MB could improve flame-retardant and smoke suppression properties of the intumescent coatings. The optimum mass fraction of MB corresponding to the best synergistic effect is 5%, which makes the flame spread rating value decrease to 11.9 and the expansion ratio reach 48.4 and that the addition of MB promotes the formation of more thermostable P-O-C, B-O-P and C=C structures in the char residue that improve the high-temperature thermal stability and char-forming ability of the coatings, thus exhibiting a more compact and intumescent char as well as high flame-retardant and smoke suppression efficiencies.

In order to obtain a method of predicting time of the vehicle on fire to ignite its adjacent vehicles in the urban highway tunnel under a blocking scenario, the ignition time was studied based on the law of fire spreading in the tunnel. A calculation method of the radiation heat flux received by the adjacent vehicle in the tunnel was worked out by theoretical analysis. A method of predicting the ignition time of vehicles under fire was developed by linear fitting. The effectiveness of the prediction was verified by field test. The results show that the predicted value of ignition time is basically consistent with the experimental value which indicates the method has higher precision, and when the initial vehicle on fire is a small vehicle and the surrounding vehicles are randomly distributed, the small vehicles in the adjacent lanes will not be ignited, that the ignition times of the medium and large vehicles are about 30 min and 9 min respectively, that when the initial vehicle on fire is a large vehicle, the ignition time is about 5min when the adjacent vehicle is a small car, and that preliminary firefighting measures should be taken and personnel evacuation should be organized within 5 min when a fire breaks out.

In order to explore the impacts of the overflowing smoke of fire compartment on the building facade and the upper rooms, a 4∶1 experimental model was built based on similarity principle to carry out the combustion experiment. Different window aspect ratios and fire power values were set under windless condition. The law of morphological characteristics of overflowing smoke near the wall,and the change of overflowing smoke width were analyzed. The temperature and CO concentration in the upper room were discussed. The results show that when the aspect ratio of the window is greater than 1 and the fire power value is lower, the heating effect of the overflowing smoke near the wall is not obvious, and the impacts on upper compartments and adjacent compartments are smaller, and that controlling the aspect ratio and the fire power can restrain the harm caused by the overflowing smoke.

For improving accident investigation and flame-proof technology application in coalmines, the gas explosion simulator-FLACS was used to model the full-scale longwall coalface and calculate the flame propagation, attenuations of shockwave overpressure and dynamic pressure on straight roadways, corners and bifurcations in a worst-case gas explosion based on the information from accident investigations. It was found that the free spaces provided by bifurcations limit the flame propagation obviously, that overpressure decays dramatically at corners and bifurcations, that the blast wind velocity just declines distinctly on bifurcations, and both corners and long straight roadway have little impact on it, and that the high-speed blast wind with debris and toxic smoke are the most important destructive factor at far field disaster areas. The quantitative results are helpful in percepting the full-scale gas explosion characteristics, rebuilding accident scenarios and optimizing flame-proof technology application.

To explore the relationship between the power source of coal and gas outburst and coal microporous adsorption, coal samples low-temperature nitrogen adsorption experiments were carried out by means of a physicochemical adsorber. Based on the theory of micropore filling and multi-layer adsorption, the demarcation point between micropore filling and adsorption on mesoporous surface of coal was analyzed by using the non-linear fitting method. The micropore filling rate of coal and the pressure of gas in the process of desorption were calculated with the aid of the Dubinin-Radushvich (D-R) equation and the ideal gas equation of state. The results show that the demarcation point between micropore filling and multi-layer adsorption of coal is the relative pressure of 0.01, that more than 48% of the microporous volume is filled with gas (methane), that the pressure generated by the gas during desorption is over 30.38 MPa, which will lead to the fragmentation of the coal, induce a release of a large amount of gas, and provide a power source for coal and gas outburst.

The gas (methane) concentration in the upper-corner of coal mining face was always higher extremely than the limit after releasing the pressure of the lower coal seams group, and the gas in the bottom of goaf and among the supports also could not be drainaged in time. To address these problems, a new auxiliary technology of the roof drainage tunnel for gas drainage in goaf was developed.The technology is characterized by inner interlocked oblique drilling. According to the evolution law of roof collapse and drill hole form, the gas was drainaged from the upper-corner, among the supports and the bottom of goaf. The drainage effect of the technology was investigated in the coal mining face of 2203 in Gaojiazhuang mine. The test results show that the average volume fraction of gas is 15.1%, which increases by 1.3 times as compared with the single drainage technology of the roof drainage tunnel, that the average net gas amount is 18.61 m³/min, which increases by 1.9 times, that the superposition gas drainage efficiency is 50%, and the drainage volume accounts for 83% of the total gas emission from adjacent layers and the goaf, and that by using the technology, the volume fraction of gas in the air return way and upper-corner of coal mining face is limited to 0.6% or lower, and the smooth mining of working face is effectively guaranteed.

In order to solve this problem,a comprehensive evaluation model was built based on the SPA theory. According to the comprehensive factors affecting the expressway construction site safety management, an evaluation index system was set up including construction site layout, safety protection, construction operation, bridge engineering, tunnel engineering, subgrade engineering and pavement engineering. An SPA decision matrix was established and the degree of connection and degree of generalized identity were calculated for the evaluation indexes. A certain freeway project in Yunnan was taken as an example, to which both the SPA evaluation method and the traditional evaluation method were applied. The results show that with regard to evaluation of construction site safety management standardization, a more accurate evaluation result can be obtained by using the SPA comprehensive evaluation model.

To solve the problem that the correlative modes between factors causing tailings dam-break interfere with the assessment and classification of the risks, the causes of tailings dam-break accidents at home and abroad were summarized and analyzed. Sixteen factors leading to tailings dam-break were screened out. The ISM was introduced to construct an interpretative structure model for tailings dam-break, and the factors of tailings dam-break were sorted out. Based on the hierarchical membership relationship, combined with the factor frequency method and the AHP, a method of determining the weight independent of subjective judgment was designed to calculate the weight of each factor in the model. According to the criteria of identification and classification of major hazards in tailings reservoir, a risk classification method for tailings dam break was worked out and applied to a certain tailings dam in China. The results show that the risk classification result of the tailings dam based on ISM and the factor frequency method conforms with the reality, and that the method can avoid the influence of the correlation between factors on the risk classification results of tailings dam break.

In order to reduce the loss railway accidents may cause and improve the efficiency of emergency resources dispatching, after taking optimal attribute values and expected attribute values as external reference points and internal reference points respectively and dividing resources dispatching stages to add time reference points, a decision model for emergency resources dispatching schemes that regarded the total loss and delay time of schemes as decision attributes was built based on CPT. According to the model, an emergency resources dispatching scheme with the maximum prospect value was obtained, and the sensitivities of preference coefficients of decision attributes and reference points were analyzed. The results show that the decision model can not only make up for the deficiency of expected utility theory, but also make the decision process more practical,and that the optimal scheme obtained by the model can reduce the psychological perception gap the accident loss brought to the decision makers.
