答:钢材性能随温度改变而有所变化,总的趋势是温度升高,钢材强度降低,应变增大;反之温度降低,钢材强度会略有增加,同时钢材会因塑性和韧性降低而变脆。1、钢结构焊接连接方法的优点和缺点有哪些?答:优点(1)焊件间可以直接相连,构造简单,制作加工方便;(2)不削弱截面,节省材料;(3)连接的密闭性好,结构的刚度大;(4)可实现自动化操作,提高焊接结构的质量。缺点(1)焊缝附近的热影响区内,钢材的金相组织发生改变,导致局部材质变脆;(2)焊接残余应力和残余变形使受压构件承载力降低;(3)焊接结构对裂纹很敏感,局部裂纹一旦发生,容易扩展至整个截面,低温冷脆问题也较为突出。2、高强度螺栓的预拉力设计值P的计算公式中,系数的确定考虑了哪些因素?答:(1)拧紧螺栓时螺栓同时受到由预拉力引起的拉应力和由扭矩引起的扭转剪应力作用;(2)施工时为了弥补高强度螺栓预拉应力的松弛损失,一般超张拉5%10%,为此考虑一个超张拉系数0.9;(3)考虑螺栓材质的不均匀性,引入一个折减系数0.9;(4)由于以螺栓的抗拉引吭高歌为准,为了安全引入一个安全系数0.9。3、抗剪普通螺栓有哪几种可能的破坏形式?如何防止?答:破坏形式:(1)当螺栓杆直径较小而板件较厚时,螺栓杆可能被剪断;(2)当螺栓杆直径较大、板件较薄时,板件可能被挤坏,由于螺栓杆和板件的挤压是相对的,故也把这种破坏叫做螺栓承压破坏;(3)板件截面可能因螺栓孔削弱太多而被拉断;(4)端距太小,端距范围内的板件可能被螺栓杆冲剪破坏。防止:第(3)种破坏形式属于构件的强度计算,第(4)种破坏形式通过限制螺栓端距大于或等于2d0加以避免。因此,抗剪螺栓连接计算只考虑第(1)、(2)种破坏形式。4、减少焊接应力和焊接变形的设计措施有哪些?答:(1)尽可能使焊缝对称于构件截面的中性轴,以减少焊接变形;(2)采用适宜的焊脚尺寸和焊缝长度;(3)焊缝不宜过分集中(4)尽量避免两条或三条焊缝垂直交叉(5)尽量避免在母材厚度方向的收缩应力。1、实腹式轴心受压构件进行截面选择时,应主要考虑的原则是什么?答;(1)面积的分布应尽量开展,以增加截面的惯性矩和回转半径,提高柱的整体稳定承载力和刚度;(2)两个主轴方向尽量等稳定,以达到经济的效果;(3)便于与其他构件进行连接,尽量能构造简单,制造省工,取材方便。2、计算格构式轴心受压构件绕轴的整体稳定时,为什么采用换算长细比?答:对于格构式轴心受压构件,当绕虚轴失稳时,因肢件之间并不是连续的板而只是每隔一定距离用缀条或缀板联系起来,构件的剪切变形较大,剪力造成的附加影响不能忽略,通常采用换算长细比来考虑缀材剪切变形对格构式轴心受压构件绕虚轴的稳定承载力的影响。3、简述实腹式轴心受压构件的设计步骤?答:(1)假定构件的长细比,求出需要的截面面积A。(2)计算两个主轴所需要的回转半径(3)由计算的截面面积A和两个主回转半径优先选用型钢。(4)由所需要的A、h、b等,以及同时考虑构造要求、局部稳定以及钢材规格等,确定截面的初选尺寸。(5)构件强度、稳定和刚度验算4、钢梁腹板计算高度如何取值?答:(1)轧制型钢梁,为腹板在与上下翼缘相交接处两内弧起点间的距离;(2)焊接组合梁,为腹板高度;(3)铆接组合梁,为上下翼缘与腹板连接的铆钉(或高强螺栓)线间最近距离。1、什么是梁的整体失稳现象?答:梁主要用于承受弯矩,为了充分发挥材料的强度,其截面通常设计成高而窄的形式。荷载作用在最大刚度平面内。当荷载较小时,仅在弯矩作用平面内弯曲;当荷载增大到某一数值后,梁在弯矩作用平面弯曲同时,将突然发生侧向弯曲和扭转,并丧失继续承载的能力,这种现象称为梁的弯扭屈曲或整体失稳。2、根据弹性稳定理论确定框架柱的计算长度时,都做了哪些假定?答:(1)框架只承受作用于节点的竖向荷载,忽略横梁荷载和水平荷载产生梁端弯矩的影响;(2)所有框架柱同时丧失稳定,即所有框架柱同时达到临界荷载;(3)失稳时横梁两端的转角相等。3、实腹式压弯构件截面选择的具体步骤有哪些?答:(1)计算构件的内力设计值;即弯矩设计值MX、轴心压力设计值N和剪力设计值V;(2)选择截面形式;(3)确定钢材及强度设计值;(4)确定弯矩作用平面内和平面外的计算长度;(5)根据经验或已有资料初选截面尺寸;(6)对初选截面进行强度验算、刚度验算、弯矩作用平面内整体稳定性验算、弯矩作用平面外整体稳定验算和局部稳定性验算,如验算不满足要求,则对初选截面进行调整,重新计算,直至满足要求。4、为什么要在桁架组成的屋盖结构中设置支撑系统,支撑系统具体作用体现在哪些方面?答:屋架在其自身平面内为几何形状不变体系并具有较大的刚度,能承受屋架平面内的各种荷载。但是,平面屋架本身在垂直于屋架平面的侧向(屋架平面外)刚度和稳定性则很差,不能承受水平荷载。因此,为使屋架结构有足够的空间刚度和稳定性,必须在屋架间设置支撑系统。保证结构的空间整体作用;避免压杆侧向失稳,防止拉杆产生过大的振动承担和传递水平荷载保证结构安装时的稳定与方便。四、计算题1.如图所示:已知焊缝承受的斜向静力荷载设计值kN,偏心e为30mm,角焊缝的焊脚尺寸,实际长度,钢材为Q235B,焊条为E43型(=160N/mm2),

From high school to the professional level, basketball attracts a large following for live games as well as television coverage of events like the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) annual tournament and the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Womens National Basketball Association (WNBA) playoffs. And it has also made American heroes out of its player and coach legends like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Earvin Magic Johnson, Sheryl Swoopes, and other great players. At the heart of the game is the playing space and the equipment. The space is a rectangular, indoor court. The principal pieces of equipment are the two elevated baskets, one at each end (in the long direction) of the court, and the basketball itself. The ball is spherical in shape and is inflated. Basket-balls range in size from 28.5-30 in (72-76 cm) in circumference, and in weight from 18-22 oz (510-624 g). For players below the high school level, a smaller ball is used, but the ball in mens games measures 29.5-30 in (75-76 cm) in circumference, and a womens ball is 28.5-29 in (72-74 cm) in circumference. The covering of the ball is leather, rubber, composition, or synthetic, although leather covers only are dictated by rules for college play, unless the teams agree otherwise. Orange is the regulation color. At all levels of play, the home team provides the ball. Inflation of the ball is based on the height of the balls bounce. Inside the covering or casing, a rubber bladder holds air. The ball must be inflated to a pressure sufficient to make it rebound to a height (measured to the top of the ball) of 49-54 in (1.2-1.4 m) when it is dropped on a solid wooden floor from a starting height of 6 ft (1.80 m) measured from the bottom of the ball. The factory must test the balls, and the air pressure that makes the ball legal in keeping with the bounce test is stamped on the ball. During the intensity of high school and college tourneys and the professional playoffs, this inflated sphere commands considerable attention. Basketball is one of few sports with a known date of birth. On December 1, 1891, in Springfield, Massachusetts, James Naismith hung two half-bushel peach baskets at the opposite ends of a gymnasium and out-lined 13 rules based on five principles to his students at the International Training School of the Young Mens Christian Association (YMCA), which later became Springfield College. Naismith (1861-1939) was a physical education teacher who was seeking a team sport with limited physical contact but a lot of running, jumping, shooting, and the hand-eye coordination required in handling a ball. The peach baskets he hung as goals gave the sport the name of basketball. His students were excited about the game, and Christmas vacation gave them the chance to tell their friends and people at their local YMCAs about the game. The association leaders wrote to Naismith asking for copies of the rules, and they were published in the Triangle, the school newspaper, on January 15,1892. Naismiths five basic principles center on the ball, which was described as large, light, and handled with the hands. Players could not move the ball by running alone, and none of the players was restricted against handling the ball. The playing area was also open to all players, but there was to be no physical contact between players; the ball was the objective. To score, the ball had to be shot through a horizontal, elevated goal. The team with the most points at the end of an allotted time period wins. Early in the history of basketball, the local YMCAs provided the gymnasiums, and membership in the organization grew rapidly. The size of the local gym dictated the number of players; smaller gyms used five players on a side, and the larger gyms allowed seven to nine. The team size became generally established as five in 1895, and, in 1897, this was made formal in the rules. The YMCA lost interest in supporting the game because 10-20 basketball players monopolized a gymnasium previously used by many more in a variety of activities. YMCA membership dropped, and basketball enthusiasts played in local halls. This led to the building of basketball gymnasiums at schools and colleges and also to the formation of professional leagues. Although basketball was born in the United States, five of Naismiths original players were Canadians, and the game spread to Canada immediately. It was played in France by 1893; England in 1894; Australia, China, and India between 1895 and 1900; and Japan in 1900. From 1891 through 1893, a soccer ball was used to play basketball. The first basketball was manufactured in 1894. It was 32 in (81 cm) in circumference, or about 4 in (10 cm) larger than a soccer ball. The dedicated basketball was made of laced leather and weighed less than 20 oz (567 g). The first molded ball that eliminated the need for laces was introduced in 1948; its construction and size of 30 in (76 cm) were ruled official in 1949. The rule-setters came from several groups early in the 1900s. Colleges and universities established their rules committees in 1905, the YMCA and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) created a set of rules jointly, state militia groups abided by a shared set of rules, and there were two professional sets of rules. A Joint Rules Committee for colleges, the AAU, and the YMCA was created in 1915, and, under the name the National Basketball Committee (NBC) made rules for amateur play until 1979. In that year, the National Federation of State High School Associations began governing the sport at the high school level, and the NCAA Rules Committee assumed rule-making responsibilities for junior colleges, colleges, and the Armed Forces, with a similar committee holding jurisdiction over womens basketball. Until World War II, basketball became increasingly popular in the United States especially at the high school and college levels. After World War II, its popularity grew around the world. In the 1980s, interest in the game truly exploded because of television exposure. Broadcast of the NCAA Championship Games began in 1963, and, by the 1980s, cable television was carrying regular season college games and even high school championships in some states. Players like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) became nationally famous at the college level and carried their fans along in their professional basketball careers. The womens game changed radically in 1971 when separate rules for women were modified to more closely resemble the mens game. Television interest followed the women as well with broadcast of NCAA championship tourneys beginning in the early 1980s and the formation of the WNBA in 1997. Internationally, Italy has probably become the leading basketball nation outside of the United States, with national, corporate, and professional teams. The Olympics boosts basketball internationally and has also spurred the womens game by recognizing it as an Olympic event in 1976. Again, television coverage of the Olympics has been exceptionally important in drawing attention to international teams. The first professional mens basketball league in the United States was the National Basketball League (NBL), which debuted in 1898. Players were paid on a per-game basis, and this league and others were hurt by the poor quality of games and the ever-changing players on a team. After the Great Depression, a new NBL was organized in 1937, and the Basketball Association of America was organized in 1946. The two leagues came to agree that players had to be assigned to teams on a contract basis and that high standards had to govern the game; under these premises, the two joined to form the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1949. A rival American Basketball Association (ABA) was inaugurated in 1967 and challenged the NBA for college talent and market share for almost ten years. In 1976, this league disbanded, but four of its teams remained as NBA teams. Unification came just in time for major television support. Several womens professional leagues were attempted and failed, including the Womens Professional Basketball League (WBL) and the Womens World Basketball Association, before the WNBA debuted in 1997 with the support of the NBA. James Naismith, originally from Al-monte, Ontario, invented basketball at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891. The game was first played with peach baskets (hence the name) and a soccer ball and was intended to provide indoor exercise for football players. As a result, it was originally a rough sport. Although ten of Naismiths original thirteen rules remain, the game soon changed considerably, and the founder had little to do with its evolution. The first intercollegiate game was played in Minnesota in 1895, with nine players to a side and a final score of nine to three. A year later, the first five-man teams played at the University of Chicago. Baskets were now constructed of twine nets but it was not until 1906 that the bottom of the nets were open. In 1897, the dribble was first used, field goals became two points, foul shots one point, and the first professional game was played. A year later, the first professional league was started, in the East, while in 1900, the first intercollegiate league began. In 1910, in
