RBFT: a new Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism based on Raft cluster by Dongyan HUANG, Lang LI, Bin CHEN, Bo WANG

“…The existing consensus mechanisms of consortium blockchain are not scalable enough to provide low latency, high throughput and security while supporting large-scale network.A new consensus mechanism called RBFT was proposed to improve scalability, which was a two-level consensus mechanism with supervised nodes based on the idea of network fragmentation.In RBFT, the nodes were firstly divided into several groups.Each group adopted the improved Raft mechanism to reach consensus and select leader.Then, the leaders of each group formed the network committee, and the network committee adopted PBFT mechanism for consensus.Comparative experiments verify that RBFT can tolerant Byzantine fault while ensuring high consensus efficiency in large-scale network compared with PBFT and Raft.…”

Joint Optimization of RCC Gravity Dam on Complex Foundation Considering Seismic Dynamic Response by LI Jinyou, HU Jiang, GU Zhenhua

“…To explore the influence of transverse seam cutting of a high RCC gravity dam on the seismic performance of the dam body,this paper takes the RCC gravity dam project of Mahl Hydropower Station in Pakistan with high seismic intensity and sand-mudstone interbedded foundation as the research object.Through the establishment of three-dimensional integral finite element model,the self-compiled viscoelastic dynamic boundary program is introduced.The dynamic response and difference of the dam body under the design earthquake and maximum credible earthquake (MCE) conditions are calculated respectively when the code wave,site wave,and Koyna wave are input.Based on the ratio defined by the design formula of bearing capacity limit state,the seismic safety state of the RCC gravity dam is comprehensively evaluated by simulating the three comparison schemes of 1/3 height,2/3 height,and full joint cutting of transverse seam.The results show that when the code wave is input,under the action of MCE,the resistance effect ratio coefficient η of the dam foundation surface under the 1/3 and 2/3 height schemes of transverse seam cutting is greater than 1.Under the full joint scheme,η_min=0.91,and the values of η are less than 1 for a total of 6 times within 0.6 s.After comprehensive consideration,the 2/3 height of transverse seam cutting can be used as the construction recommendation scheme.The research results can provide a reference for the optimal layout of the RCC gravity dam project in the conditions of high seismic intensity and complex geology.…”
