Experimental Research on Fire Resistance of Reactive Powder Concrete by Gai-Fei Peng, Yi-Rong Kang, Yan-Zhu Huang, Xiao-Ping Liu, Qiang Chen

“…Compressive strength started to decrease after exposure to 400°C, but tensile splitting strength and fracture energy started to decrease after exposure to 200°C. Incorporating hybrid fiber (polypropylene fiber and steel fiber) is a promising way to enhance resistance of RPC to explosive spalling, which should be a main objective for improving its fire resistance.…”

Study on Multiobjective Modeling and Optimization of Offshore Micro Integrated Energy System considering Uncertainty of Load and Wind Power by Jun Wu, Baolin Li, Jun Chen, Qinghui Lou, Xiangyu Xing, Xuedong Zhu

“…To reduce the influence brought by the uncertainty, a multiobjective optimization model was proposed based on the chance-constrained programming (CCP); the operating cost and penalty cost of natural gas emission were selected as objectives. Then, the improved hybrid constraints handling strategy based on nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (IHCHS-NSGAII) was introduced to solve the model efficiently. …”
