  • Publication number: 20220357475
    Abstract: A full probability-based seismic risk analysis method for a tunnel under fault dislocation comprises: evaluating a magnitude-frequency relationship of a fault; obtaining a probabilistic seismic risk curve of a fault dislocation; calculating a series of bending moments of a tunnel lining under different fault dislocations; obtaining a series of damage index values RM of the tunnel; obtaining a vulnerability model of the tunnel damaged by fault dislocation; calculating a probabilistic risk that the tunnel crossing the fault is damaged due to the dislocation of the active fault; obtaining a probability P that the damage state is equal to or higher than a certain damage state within a specified period; and using the results to guide the assessment of the seismic risk of the tunnel crossing the fault. Modeling and analysis can be performed according to the actual situation of the tunnel crossing the fault with different factors.

  • Patent number: 9217069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a water repelling surface or imparting hydrophobicity onto a surface comprises applying a polymer-based coating composition. The water repelling surface or the hydrophobic surface imparted by the present method has at least 90° of water contact angle. The water repelling surface or the hydrophobic surface imparted by the present method is preferably on a concrete surface. The present method imparts hydrophobicity onto surfaces that are durable without an additional primer layer between the surfaces and the coating composition.
