Research on the Mechanism Influencing the Sustainable Development of a Contemporary Chinese Artist Village

Contemporary Chinese artist villages (CCAVs) have been developing rapidly and have become an important locus for developing cultural and creative industries, providing a strong pathway for China to achieve high-quality development and promote new urbanization. However, in practice, there are still many CCAVs that struggle with sustainable...

Distribution Network Reconfiguration Considering the Impacts of Local Renewable Generation and External Power Grid

The distribution network (DN) reconfiguration is a well-known optimal power flow (OPF) problem. However, with the transition of DN from 'passive' to 'active', new technical challenges arise in DN reconfiguration. This article addresses two key issues in this regard. Firstly, the integration of local renewable generation (LRG) introduces...

Effect of natural carbonation on chloride binding behaviours in OPC paste investigated by a thermodynamic model

The combined effects of carbonation and chloride attack can accelerate the degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this study, the effect of natural carbonation on the chloride binding behaviours in Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste was investigated. The phase-equilibrium model for the dissolution/precipitation reactions and...

Reactive Transport Modelling of Chloride Ingress in Saturated Coral Aggregate Concrete

Utilizing coral aggregate concrete (CAC) for construction on remote islands can significantly reduce construction cost and period, CO₂ emission, and consumption of non-renewable energy. The durability of reinforced CAC structures is critically influenced by their resistance to chloride attack. In this study, a reactive transport...

Impressed current cathodic protection of chloride-contaminated RC structures with cracking: A numerical study

Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is an effective and direct method for controlling the corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, few investigations related to ICCP in cracked RC structures have been reported. In this study, the effect of cracks in concrete cover on ICCP of chloride-contaminated RC structures was...

Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly supports the rapid development of the global social economy. New theories, new methods, new technologies and new materials related to pavement engineering are emerging....

Analytical Modeling of Misalignment in Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machine

This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of air gap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with various types of misalignments. The AFPM machine geometry is first transformed to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then...

An uniform real-estate registration model for China

The Interim Regulation on Real-Estate Registration (IRRER) was issued by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China (SCPRC) in 2014 and took effect on March 1, 2015. This regulation stipulates that the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People’s Republic of China (MLRPRC) will be responsible for the duties of real-estate registration...

Logical Design and Implementation of the Data Model for 3D Cadastre in China

The establishment of 3D cadastre is imperative and needs support from legal, organizational and technological aspects. In Shenzhen, China, establishment of 3D cadastre has achievedgreat progress. The joint register mechanism was employedfirstly in Shenzhen, and related research is going on, including definitions, visualization and topological...

Application of 3D GIS to 3D Cadastre in Urban Environment

Rapid development has promoted the 3D land use in the urban environment with the increasing requirements of the complex interweaving, such as dwellings, commercial areas, public transportation and urban utilities and infrastructure.3D cadastral object are features which concern unban planning, land resource and real estate of municipalities,...

AMulti-jurisdiction Case Study of 3D Cadastre in Shenzhen, China as Experiment using the LADM

With the increasing urban population, and the urban exploitation and utilization, especially in the subsurface and the air, various spaces above and below each other are built and belonging to different owners or users. Although the traditional 2D cadastre still plays a dominant role in land administration, urban resource and space management,...

Critical properties of a dilute O(n) model on the kagome lattice

A critical dilute O(n) model on the kagome lattice is investigated analytically and numerically. We employ a number of exact equivalences which, in a few steps, link the critical O(n) spin model on the kagome lattice to the exactly solvable critical q-state Potts model on the honeycomb lattice with q=(n+1)². The intermediate steps involve the...
