METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRESTRESSED STRUCTURES AND STRUCTURAL PARTS BY MEANS OF SMA TENSION ELEMENTS, AND STRUCTURE AND STRUCTURAL PART EQUIPPED THEREWITH

The method includes a tension element, for example in the form of flat steel, that is placed on the structure or structural part and can be guided around a corner. The flat steel can also wrap as a band around the structure, in which the two ends of the flat steel are either connected to one another or are separately connected to the structure by the end anchors or intersect to produce a clamping connection. The flat steel contracts as a result of a subsequent active and controlled input of heat using a heating element and generates a permanent tensile stress and, correspondingly, a permanent prestress on the structure. The structure, as equipped, has at least one tension element as a shape memory alloy which extends along the outer side of the structure and is connected by one or more end anchors

Tank and method for constructing dike

In an LNG tank, a dike is formed by arranging precast blocks in the circumferential direction and layering the precast blocks in the vertical direction. Each of the precast blocks has loop joints on the top, bottom, left, and right side faces, and concrete is deposited between each two precast blocks adjacent in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction, whereby masonry joints are formed in the vertical direction and the circumferential direction. Prestress is imparted to the dike by PC steel members. The PC steel members are provided in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction of the dike, and are arranged so as to avoid the masonry joints in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to construct the dike in a short time, and it is possible to provide a tank or the like that can reduce the construction period.

A bionic architecture construction method includes: obtaining architecture parameters; analyzing the architecture parameters to obtain filament segment parameters, pillar parameters, and concrete parameters; controlling, based on the pillar parameters, a robotic arm to perform drilling, and inserting a telescopic rod and controlling extension and contraction of the telescopic rod to form a pillar; controlling, based on the filament segment parameters, the robotic arm to extrude filaments between the pillar and a preset ground surface so as to form filament segments, where the filament segments are cooperatively arranged to form a cocoon-like skeleton; pouring concrete into the cocoon-like skeleton based on the concrete parameters to form a cocoon-like shell, where the cocoon-like shell is a closed structure with the filament segments embedded within the concrete; and controlling, based on the architecture parameters, the robotic arm to form a window and a door on the cocoon-like shell to form an architectural shell.
