    The mechanical properties of the rubber gasketed joints on ductile iron pipes are analyzed, which are commonly used in the water supply system. The theoretical calculation formulas of the maximum pull force and moment in the the rubber gasketed joints are deduced, and the maximum safe rotation is given. Based on the early test results, the stiffness matrix of the rubber gasketed joints on ductile iron pipes is established. Outcome of the research project can offer theoretical and technical support for the numerical simulations on the rubber gasketed joints.

    Research on damage diagnosis for civil engineering structures

    by Hao Luo

    Insight - Civil Engineering, Vol.3, No.1, 2020; 757 Views, 27 PDF Downloads

    In the construction of such an important basic engineering project as civil engineering, the main problem faced by constructors is the structural system damage. Therefore, scientific diagnostic methods are needed to find out locations and causes of the damages in time. For this reason, people have carried out in-depth analysis according to the system form and composition mode of civil structure, and have developed a variety of scientific and reliable diagnostic methods combined with its related damage problems. With the rapid development of diagnostic technology, inspectors have a clearer understanding and knowledge of all kinds of damage problems, and can also use a variety of diagnostic methods reasonably to find out.
