Abstract

In order to either optimal use of water resource of KELAS river basin and electrical energy generation, Sardasht Dam and power plant are designed. Dam water diversion system includes two tunnels with inner diameter of 7 m. Several collapses have occurred in portal of second diversion tunnel (A2) which has created large cavity in tunnel crown. In order to prevent collapse, various ways such as steel sets installation and also grouting to increase strength of surrounded rock mass, are prescribed but none of technics could not to ban caving in. considering this fact that in order to continue tunnelling process, collapse zone should be passed, a solution or solutions must be suggested to overcome consecutive and dangerous collapses problem. In order to decrease tunnelling risks, in this research, using both experience and knowledge obtained from previous proposed executive solution to similar cases and technically analysis of occurred collapse in current diversion tunnel, it has been tried to suggest a new appropriate solution which defeat the problem. Finally, in order to stabilize of tunnel crown, as an effective and applicable solution, constructing retaining crown by means of rock bolts, was introduced.

Abstract

Multi-pollutant air pollution dramatically occurs in wide range of regions across Tehran. Air quality index (AQI) is applied worldwide to inform the public about levels of air pollution and related to health risks.  Assessing air pollution, and transferring information about its possible adverse health effects, may encourage population and policy makers to reduce activities that increase pollution levels. In this study the Air quality index (AQI), Aggregate Air quality index (AAQI), and a relative index of variability (VR) were obtained for the data in order to better investigate air pollution conditions for the whole areas of a city of Tehran, aim at warning the people of short-term health impact. The proposed index of variability does add precious information to the aggregate AQI, as it can demonstrate whether the value assumed by the AQI is influenced by one or more pollutants. The two indices are together used on simulated data and consider different possible scenarios.  In addition, Applications to real air pollution data are reported. Before applying the two indices, the effects of different standardizations on data are evaluated from a theoretical point of view.

Abstract

Electrokinetic is an effective and innovative method to remediate different kinds of soils, especially low permeable fined-grain soils such as silty and clayey soils. In this method, by applying a direct-current electric field into a contaminated soil resulted in different transport phenomena, the soil is remediated. This paper’s objective is to propose a numerical model for Electrokinetic remediation of zinc and copper contaminated soils. Different transport phenomena including ion migration, electroosmosis flow, and diffusion were taken into account in the model. Chemical reactions such as precipitation/dissolution, adsorption onto the soil surface, and water chemical equilibrium were considered as well. Furthermore, instead of simplified boundary conditions (Neumann or Dirichlet) that cannot properly reflect the reality of the Electrokinetic remediation process, the realistic boundary conditions were used with consideration of flux and electrolysis reaction at the electrodes. The simulation results compared with the available experimental data in the literature. The coefficient of determination and the index of agreement indicated that the present model is consistent with the tests’ results. Thus, the assumptions considered in the present study are acceptable.

Abstract

Determining correct moisture content of wetted building materials and analysis of corresponding locations, orientations, and patterns is of imminent value to Forensic Engineers and building scientists. As many building damages relate to insurance claims and construction defect/ subrogation lawsuits, legal challenges to the accuracy of measured moisture content have arisen. The objective of this study was to independently establish the level of precision of common moisture meters used to quantify and measure moisture content in building components. The study tested four different brand moisture meters in gypsum and wood substrates at normal, high, and saturated moisture contents. The results were compared against laboratory obtained moisture content to assess the accuracy of each meter in the substrate and at which moisture content range.The study wetted wood and gypsum specimens to moderate and saturated conditions and measured the resulting moisture content with the four different brands of meters. Control wood and gypsum specimens were not exposed to water and their moisture content was measured as is. All of the wood and gypsum specimens were subsequently sent to a laboratory and moisture content was calculated by the oven-dry method. The moisture content results measured by moisture meters were compared against the laboratory obtained data. Data was averaged and plotted with moisture content of various specimens and visually analysed to determine which meters deviated from the laboratory data and at which moisture contents. Data was also numerically analysed and graphed to quantify meter moisture content accuracy as compared to laboratory obtained moisture content.Moisture meters should be used within the manufacturer specified range of moisture content and price may not be the best indicator of moisture meter accuracy.  At low ranges of moisture content in wood and gypsum, all meters exhibited relatively small deviation from laboratory calculated values, while moderate and saturated conditions presented larger variations from laboratory moisture content. Composite materials such as gypsum may be difficult to establish moisture content, as different materials such as the gypsum core and paper facing absorb and distribute moisture differently. All meters were successful in detecting wet conditions, but exhibited a lack of precision in determining exact values in moderate and saturated conditions. In this regard, meters may be improved as the industry demands not only detecting wet conditions but determining precise values at a full range of moisture contents. Future studies may be limited to monolithic materials as oven dry method returns an average value of the respective paper and gypsum components in gypsum board specimens, and thus contained an inherent margin of error.

Abstract

The utilization of polyolefin fibers in reinforced concrete can potentially enhance the properties of the concrete by changing the interfacial properties of the fiber-matrix interface. The objective of this research was to determine the mechanical properties of polyolefin fiber reinforced lightweight concrete (LWC). Compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths of the sample were measured. Polyolefin fibers were added to the reinforced composite in variable amounts (0-2%). The lightweight concrete was designed to achieve compressive strength target of at least 30 MPa with a density value of 1800 kg/m3 after 28 days of storage. The results showed that the highest compressive strength was obtained in LWC containing 1% fiber led to an increase of about 8%. However, a reduction in compressive strength was observed when the amount of fiber was increased. Moreover, increasing the amount of fiber presented a growth in rupture modulus as well as splitting tensile strength.
