This paper reports the determination of ulifloxacin (UFX) by terbium-sensitized fluorescence using a second-order scattering method. UFX and Tb(III) ion form a fluorescence complex in aqueous solution, and its maximum excitation and emission wavelengths are located at 273 and 545 nm, respectively. In optimum conditions, the relative intensity at 545 nm has a linear relationship to the concentration of UFX in the range of 2.0 × 10-8 - 1.0 × 10-5 mol L-1 and the detection limit is 3.9 × 10-9 mol L-1. The proposed method was applied to the determination of UFX in spiked human serum and urine satisfactorily. The luminescence property of UFX is also discussed by comparing with norfloxacin (NFLX) and ofloxacin (OFLX).
In this paper, we show the influence of stone powder content on the mechanical properties of concrete by experiments and numerical simulations. In numerical simulation, this paper proposed a method whereby the stone powder in the numerical simulation of concrete is considered by the mechanical performances of mortar with the stone powder. The results of numerical models established based on inclusion theory and random aggregate distribution were basically consistent with the experiment, which indicated that the simulation method of concrete under different stone powder was feasible. In the range of stone powder content from 0% to 15%, the model based on inclusion theory is very close to the experimental results, and the model based on 2D random aggregate distribution is closer to the experimental value once the stone powder content is 7%. The research showed that with increased stone powder, cubic compressive strength had greater dispersion between the simulation and the experiment; axial compressive and split tensile strength reached the best levels at 5%. The best stone powder content was 5% for C80 high-strength concrete by comprehensively considering concrete’s consistency and its mechanical properties.
Long-span prestressed double-layer composite torsional reticulated shells have beautiful shapes, which make them a solution widely applied in public buildings requiring long-span structures, such as airports and stadiums. However, once the progressive collapse occurs, this will cause serious issues. There are few studies on the damage assessment of long-span spatial structures under accidental loads. This paper proposes a new dynamic damage evaluation index that takes into account the displacement and the cumulative plastic energy dissipation to evaluate the damage of the long-span prestressed double-layer composite torsional reticulated shell. Sleeve structures were applied to the long-span space structures to study their control effect on structural damage. The equivalent load transient unloading method was used to analyze the dynamic time history of the structure. Results show that the structure suffered severe damage and progressive collapse failure after removing four nodes at different positions near the supports. In the position where the plastic hinges first appear and the position with the maximum displacement, the sleeve structures have a poor damage control effect on the structure. Arranging the two sleeve structures in the position of maximum stress, the damage of the structure can be controlled, thus reducing the severe damage and progressive collapse failure to basic intact damage.
For the new type of steel-concrete inclined column transfer structure (NSCICTS) with better lateral stiffness and ductility, the existing damage model and hysteresis model are difficult to accurately express the asymmetry of its test restoring force curve and the serious pinching phenomenon of the hysteresis curve, respectively. In this paper, an asymmetric damage model is firstly established according to the asymmetry of the curve, and the comparison with the existing symmetric damage model shows that the asymmetric damage model proposed can reflect the actual damage of the component or structure. Then, a simplified hysteresis loop model with a longer slip segment is established, and the damage formulas of the stiffness and residual deformation are established. Finally, the hysteresis rules are given, and the comparison with the test hysteresis curve shows that the proposed model can better simulate the structural mechanical properties. The model provides a theoretical basis for the overall nonlinear seismic analysis of the NSCICTS and other similar structures.
