    The Urban Traffic Link Tunnel (UTLT) is a new type of underground transportation, with quite a few entrances to underground garages. It is more complicated to design the ventilation and smoke exhaustion for the UTLT than for a general urban straight tunnel. According to the structural features of the UTLT, the design method of ventilation and smoke exhaustion against UTLT fire is presented. The UTLT is regarded as an independent structure apart from adjacent underground garages in cases of fire. According to the layout of the ventilation shafts and the ground access, the UTLT is divided into multiple smoke control sections by the fire roller shutters. The fire smoke flows out of the ground following the travel direction in the limited smoke control zones. An UTLT is taken as an example, with eight sections and three smoke exhaust patterns. The smoke control effect of typical fire scenarios is simulated by FLUENT. The results show that the smoke is limited to the flow in the setting smoke control sections and can be exhausted out of the tunnel. And there is no back-layering flow of hot smoke, which can satisfy UTLT ventilation requirements and ensure the safe escape for people in the upstream of the fire and the vehicles in the downstream. So the design method of ventilation and smoke exhaustion against the UTLT fire is reasonable. The research results can be applied directly to the design of ventilation and smoke exhaustion for UTLTs.

    In this paper, the rigid roadway pavement under dynamic traffic loads with variable velocity is studied. The rigid roadway pavement is modeled as a rectangular damped orthotropic plate supported by elastic Pasternak foundation. The boundaries of the plate are the steel dowels and tie bars which provide the elastic vertical support and the rotational restraint. The natural frequencies and the modal shapes of the system are obtained through solving two transcendental equations, derived from the solution of two auxiliary Levy's type problems, known as the Modified Bolotin Method. The dynamic moving traffic load is expressed as a concentrated load of harmonically varying magnitude, moving straight along the plate with a variable velocity. The dynamic response of the plate is obtained by using the characteristic equation with orthogonal properties. The results of a numerical example show that the velocity and the angular frequency of the loads affect the maximum dynamic deflection of the rigid roadway pavement. It is also shown that a critical speed of the load exists. If the moving traffic load travels at the critical speed, the rectangular plate will suffer from a deflection of infinite amplitude. The present mathematical solution should be verified further with the results of experimental researches, especially, with respect to the determination of the forces in the steel connecting devices (dowels and tie bars) along the joints.

    Based on previous research, an innovative method to investigate object dynamics is suggested. Concerning DEM itself, it can precisely simulate the interaction among discrete spheres. DEM is a powerful tool in simulation and calculation. One sphere is kinetic in an inclined plane with 45°. After reasoning theoretical formula and establishing theoretical model by which theoretical relations between velocity-time and displacement-time are acquired respectively, DEM is employed and visual sphere-inclined plane is archived in the platform of Borland C++ 6.0, then, the theoretical formula is deduced. and the theoretical curves are drawn. Also, critical coefficient of friction will be determined when sphere is purely rolling in an inclined plane. The relationship of velocity-time and displacement-time will be achieved respectively when sphere moves on pure displacement condition, sliding and rolling condition, and purely rolling condition, then their relational curves are drawn. These curves are compared to theoretical curves of the relationship between velocity-time, and the relationship between displacement-time. It is concluded that computed results and theoretical results are consistent. Therefore, it is verified that theory of DEM is available.

    Fractured wells find widespread applications in the development process of shale gas reservoirs because of the enhancement of the per well production and the reduction of the cost. However, the reservoir is difficult to be completely opened in practice because of the large thickness of the shale gas reservoir. In this paper, according to the characteristics of desorption, diffusion and seepage, a seepage model of partial open fractured wells in shale gas reservoirs is established. The Laplace transform, the Fourier transform and the principle of Duhamel in combination with the Stehfest numerical inversion algorithm are used to obtain solutions based on the model. The pressure characteristic curves are obtained. The flowing phases are divided in the pressure characteristic curves. The influence of the relevant parameters on the pressure dynamic characteristics is analyzed. It is shown that there are seven main flow stages in the pressure characteristic curves for partial open fractured wells in shale gas reservoirs. The open degree has a main effect on the appearance of the spherical flow period and the position of the pressure derivative curve in the early time. The desorption coefficient has a primary effect on the depth of the dip in the pressure derivative curve. The dimensionless storativity ratio has a major effect on the depth and width of the dip in the pressure derivative curve. The dimensionless transmissivity ratio has a primary effect on the starting time of the desorption and the diffusion in shale reservoirs. The results can provide a theoretical support for the high-efficiency development of shale gas reservoirs using fractured wells.

    Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a new and effective method for random noise suppression. The principle of the SVD filtering technique, which enhances the signal to noise ratio of seismic data, is illustrated. Then, by applying time-domain and frequency- domain SVD techniques to suppress random noise generated from a variety of seismic model data, their processing results are compared with each other. The results indicate that the time-domain SVD technique is only able to enhance flat or near flat events. Whenencountering dip events, it is less effective. However, the frequency-domain SVD technique is able to enhance both flat and dip events, and improve the signal to noise ratio of seismic profile. Three simple synthetic seismograms and one real seismic data are used, and the practical effects of these two SVD methods are verified. The results show that the frequency-domain SVD is effective for suppressing the random noise.

    It is very important for exploration and development of oil and gas to comprehensively and accurately and quantitatively describe and predict fracture. Base on the basis of the literature investigation of fractures research findings around the world, from geological analysis, log fracture identification, curvature method, tectonic stress simulation, seismic fracture prediction and so on, the progress of fracture characterization and prediction are summarized. It is shown that the reservoir fractures can be classified into two types, including structural and non-structural fracture according to their origin. The structural fracture includes regional fracture, local fracture and complex structural fracture, in which the local structural fracture is related to fracture of fault and fold. The non-structural fracture can be classified into contraction fracture and related fracture of surface, which have 12 sub-types. Every type of fractures has different characteristics and origin. The main identification of fracture is combination of geological analysis and log interpretation, and then pattern recognition of outcrop, core and well logging will be established. Also quantitative calculation method for fracture is proposed using geological, logging and tectonic stress data. With the aid of those bases, the advantage and disadvantage of methods for detection and prediction of the fracture distribution are discussed. Finally the shortcoming and development of fracture research are pointed out.
