    In order to simulate the seismic damage process of RC (reinforced concrete) columns precisely and effectively, the method of seismic damage analysis of reinforced concrete members was established by combining the uniaxial damage constitutive model of concrete and steel bar with the flexibility-based fiber beam-column element model. The quasi-static test of reinforced concrete column was simulated and analyzed. It is found that the simulation model can simulate the degradation process of stiffness and bearing capacity of component with good accuracy. The shaking table test of reinforced concrete column under biaxial loading was simulated and analyzed. The results show that the simulation model can simulate the nonlinear dynamic behavior and damage distribution of component with good accuracy. Furthermore, the established model can effectively simulate the evolution process of seismic damage of components, and describe weak parts of components, and has high computational efficiency and solution accuracy, which can be used to analyze the collapse process of buildings and bridge structures under earthquake action.

    BCI (brain computer interface) is one of the important research methods in the fields of brain cognition, brain medicine and brain-like research,where the precise implantation of microelectrodes is a necessary prerequisite and important guarantee. With the rapid development of robotics, machine vision and artificial intelligence, surgical robots are gradually used in brain-computer interface implantation surgery. To meet the demand for precise implantation of microelectrodes in the somatosensory and cerebral motor cortex of SD(Sprague-Dawley) rats, a vision-guided precision implantation system for brain-computer interface microelectrodes was presented. Based on the method of machine vision to identify the key points of the rat skull, the coordinate system was established to obtain the point cloud information of the rat skull, to realize the high-precision identification and localization of the target points, and to guide the actuator to complete the electrode implantation operation. Through model analysis and animal experiments, it has been demonstrated that the implantation system can accurately identify surgical targets on the subjects, guide the actuator to swiftly penetrate the skull, and accurately and stably implant the electrodes into the target area, which effectively improves the accuracy of microelectrode implantation.

    The quantitative monitoring and evaluation of the terrestrial ecological environment status helps to understand the changes in ecosystems and their driving factors, and is of great significance for the government to guide regional ecological environment management, achieve ecological protection and socio-economic coordinated development. Based on long-term multi-source satellite remote sensing data, a land ecological environment status index (LESI) evaluation model was constructed by coupling five indicators including greenness, heat, humidity, dryness, and air pollution using covariance principal component analysis. Four strategies, including Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, Biplot biplot, correlation analysis, and cross validation, were used to demonstrate the good stationarity, rationality, comprehensive representativeness, and regional adaptability of the model. On this basis, the spatio-temporal characteristics and evolution patterns of the land eco-environment status (LES) in the the Taihu Lake Basin from 2001 to 2021 were assessed, the driving factors of LES changes were discussed, and the contributions of climate change and human activities were quantified. The results show that the eco-environment quality of the the Taihu Lake Basin is declining first and then stable. The average annual LESI decreases significantly from 0.639 in 2001 to 0.523 in 2009 (-18.2%), and then tends to be stable. The spatial-temporal variation of LESI in Taihu Lake Basin is obviously different. The area where the ecological environment quality remains stable or improved (68.8%) is significantly larger than the area where the ecological environment quality is declining (31.2%), of which Hangzhou and Huzhou have the best eco-environment quality and remain stable. Shanghai and Suzhou are relatively poor and have significant fluctuations. The contributions of temperature, precipitation and night light to LESI are 0.03, 0.19 and 0.78, respectively, indicating that the eco-environment changes in the the Taihu Lake basin in recent 21 years are mainly dominated by human activities, while only some forest mountain areas and wetland areas are affected by climate change. The LESI model established in the study can effectively monitor and quantitatively evaluate changes in the eco-environment, providing scientific support for the government to formulate ecological environment protection policies and promote high-quality development.

    In order to improve the efficiency of air transportation, reduce transportation costs and carbon emissions, the evolutionary game method was adopted to explore the influencing factors of the cargo alliance between the government and airlines. The system dynamics model (SD) was used to conduct simulation experiments on the game evolution process. The results indicate that the strategic choices between airlines are influenced by investment costs and alliance benefits, while the government’s strategic choices are influenced by factors such as the carbon emission penalty coefficient paid by airlines, carbon tax subsidy amounts, social benefits, and regulatory costs. In the long run, the government should establish a dynamic subsidy mechanism and increase the diversity of subsidies to enhance the innovation and core competitiveness of airlines.

    The displacement response of a bridge is identified as a fundamental condition for the structural health monitoring and safety assessment of bridge structures. In order to fully leverage the advantages of machine vision for measuring structural displacements and to enhance its applicability, a structural displacement monitoring method based on the pinhole camera model was proposed. Sparse optical flow was employed to track structural feature points, achieving sub-pixel level image displacements. By employing the optical geometric relationships of camera imaging, an analytical solution was established between real-world displacements and image displacements. The image displacements were then substituted into algebraic relationships to obtain the true structural displacements. In the indoor experiments on dynamic load displacement identification of a simply supported bridge model, compared to the measurements obtained using a linear variable differential transformer displacement meter, the proposed method achieves a maximum error within 6% for pitch angles up to 30° and yaw angles up to 35°, thereby meeting the application requirements for monitoring the displacement deformations of bridge structures.

    The current seismic toughness assessment is mainly aimed at the impact of a single earthquake on a single building, it is difficult to consider the seismic toughness assessment of different buildings in the same area. The research area was divided into grids according to 500 m×500 m, and seismic risk analysis was carried out. Six indexes, including the cost of building defense, damaged area of different degrees, direct economic loss of buildings, repair time, repair cost and casualties, were taken as the evaluation indexes of earthquake resilience. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weights of each index, and an earthquake resilience evaluation model based on grid and radar map was established and applied to Chengdu City. The results show that the earthquake toughness of Chengdu City is normal when the fortification is not upgraded. After upgrading the fortification, the cost of fortification increases by 45.95%, and the damaged area, the direct economic loss of the house, the repair time, the repair cost and the number of casualties decreases by 26.25%, 37.75%, 45.1%, 44.24% and 48.18%, respectively. Through comparative analysis of the model data, it is found that after upgrading the fortification, the comprehensive benefit of earthquake resilience of Chengdu City buildings is increased by 40.8%, the disaster loss is greatly reduced, and the improvement effect is obvious.

    The research on the factors affecting the convenience of urban integrated transportation transfer can provide scientific basis and guidance for urban transportation planning. Based on the comprehensive transportation theory and transfer convenience theory, the logic of the comprehensive transportation transfer system was sorted out, and the comprehensive transportation transfer system diagram was drawn. Then, from the two perspectives of the comprehensive transportation hub station and the transfer origin-destination(OD) pair of a single station, Pearson correlation analysis, geographic detector model and multiple linear regression model were used to study the factors affecting the convenience of integrated transportation transfer. The results show that the transfer convenience of a single hub station is mainly related to the location of the hub station. Geographical distance, travel mode and number of travel stations are the main factors of the shortest transfer time, and the number of travel stations is the most important factor. Geographical distance, shortest highway mileage, travel mode and number of travel stations are the main factors of the least transfer cost, among which the travel mode and number of travel stations are the most important factors.

    The problem of mine water pollution from abandoned mines after integration is becoming increasingly serious with the integration of coal resources and the merger and reorganisation of coal companies. An accurate understanding of the development mechanism of mine water quality in abandoned coal mines is an important prerequisite for the protection and use of mine water and the effective prevention and control of groundwater pollution. The leaching behaviour of Fe3+ and Mn2+ and the changes of related water quality indices were investigated by the long-term indoor water-coal immersion test based on the project practice of Shendong mining area. The results show that the solubility of Fe3+ is “wave-like”, and the solubility of both samples reaches the lowest value at the 84th day after immersion, while the solubility of Mn2+ remains relatively stable after a rapid reaction (the first day). The causes of solubility variations were further analysed by ion ratio coefficient method and Pearson correlation coefficient method, and it was found that mine water in goaf may be affected by mining activities, and the water quality of mine water is strongly influenced by the dissolution of silicate rocks and gypsum. The main water-rock interactions in mine water in the goaf area include the dissolution of silicate rocks and evaporative rocks and the alternating adsorption of cations. For the rational development and utilisation of mine water in China, it is of great importance to study the characteristic pollutant ion change law of mine water in the goaf area.

    In order to study the molecular weight and molecular structure changes of asphalt under ultraviolet aging and the mechanism of their effects on macro properties, gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance tests were carried out on four commonly used asphalt, respectively. The molecular weight composition changes, such as molecular weight and molecular relative mass distribution, and the molecular structure composition changes, such as hydrogen spectrum, carbon spectrum, hydrogen atom content and molecular structure parameters were studied. On the basis of macroscopic rheological tests, the molecular composition of asphalt rheological properties was characterized by correlation analysis, and the molecular mechanism of ultraviolet aging macroscopic properties was analyzed. The results show that ultraviolet aging causes the agglomeration of molecules in asphalt, small molecules decreases and aggregates into large molecules, and the molecular weight distribution boundary narrows gradually. From the changes of hydrogen atoms and molecular structure parameters, it can be seen that the alkyl substituents on the aromatic ring in the asphalt increase after ultraviolet aging, resulting in the increase of the volume and stability of the aromatic ring, and the increase of molecular backbone stiffness. On the macro level, the elastic properties of asphalt increase. The phase angle, rutting factor, irrecoverable compliance and recovery rate of asphalt before and after ultraviolet aging were obtained by macroscopic rheological tests. The correlation analysis shows that the rheological properties are most affected by condensation degree parameters, substitution rate of peripheral hydrogen, average molecular weight and branched degree of alkyl chain.
