Abstract

A new model is proposed to characterize changes in traffic at transitions. These changes are affected by driver response. The distance headway between vehicles is considered as it affects driver behavior. Driver response is quick with a small distance headway and slow when the distance headway is large. The variations in traffic are greater with a slow driver while traffic is smooth with a quick driver. A model is developed which characterizes traffic based on driver response and distance headway. This model is compared with the well-known and widely employed Zhang and PW models. The Zhang model characterizes driver response at transitions using an equilibrium velocity distribution and ignores distance headway and driver response. Traffic flow in the PW model is characterized using only a velocity constant. Roe decomposition is employed to evaluate the Zhang, PW, and proposed models over a 270 m circular (ring) road. Results are presented which show that Zhang model provides unrealistic results. The corresponding behavior with the proposed model has large variations in flow with a slow driver but is smooth with a quick driver. The PW model provides smooth changes in flow according to the velocity constant, but the behavior is unrealistic because it is not based on traffic physics. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a competitive solution for the durability of reinforced structures. This paper aims to observe moment redistribution behavior occurring due to flexural and shear loading in GFRP reinforced continuous concrete beams. A rectangular cross-section was adopted in this study with dimensions of 200 mm in width and 300 mm in depth with a constant shear span-to-depth ratio of 3. The reinforcement ratio for the top and bottom were equal at sagging and hogging moment regions. A finite element model was created using ANSYS and validated with the existing experimental results in the literature review. Based on the literature review, the parametric study was conducted on twelve beam specimens to evaluate the influence of concrete compressive strength, transversal GFRP stirrups ratio, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on the redistribution of the moment in beams. Several codes and guidelines adopted different analytical models. The CSA S806 adopted the modified compression field theory in predicting the shear capacity of the simply supported beams. Recently, various researchers encountered several factors and modifications to account for concrete contribution, longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. A comparison between the predicting shear capacity of the generated finite element model and the analytical model and the existing data from literature was held. The generated finite element model showed a good agreement with experimental results while the beam specimens failed in shear after undergoing significant moment redistribution from hogging to sagging moment region. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The current study aimed at predicting standard penetration resistance (N) of soil using particle sizes and Atterberg's limits. The geotechnical database was created subsequent to the field and laboratory testing. The sample collection points were distributed in a mesh grid pattern to have uniform sampling consistency. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were trained on the database to build a knowledge-based understanding of the interrelation of the given soil parameters. To check the efficacy of the model, the validation was carried out by predicting standard penetration resistance (N) for another 30 samples which were not included in the training data (444 samples). The trained ANN model has been found to predict N values in close agreement with the N values measured in the field. The novelty of the research work is the standard penetration prediction employing basic physical properties of soil. This proves the efficacy of the proposed model for the target civil engineering application. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-01 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Dike construction has been widely used because of its potential to protect people and properties from overtopping flows. Water levels may exceed a dike crest and cause overtopping flow during high river discharge. This phenomenon has caused serious damage to the dike body due to the reduction of soil shear strength. The increase of water content within particles and its relationship with the development of breach channel failure in downstream and upstream slopes are affected by a series of geotechnical and hydraulic aspects. Transient seepage and slope stability analyses (FOS) were performed in this study using 2D finite element methods and time-history measurements under the effect of sandy and very silty sand soils. The numerical model of SLIDE 2018 was limited by its inability to incorporate all physical processes governing an overtopping breach failure. Numerical analyses were performed to simulate the development of pore pressures and water content at six positions in the dike’s upstream and downstream slopes in physical experimental tests using the van Genuchten Equation and the limit equilibrium method. The numerical results revealed that fine particles increase the pore water pressure and reduce the FOS. Appropriate dike design and maintenance are dependent on surrounding hydraulic conditions, dimensions, and soil types. Non-cohesive materials with fine particles were preferable. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Seismically active areas are vulnerable to liquefaction, and the influence of liquefaction on pile foundations is very severe. Study of pile-supported buildings in liquefiable soils requires consideration of soil-pile interaction and evaluation of the interaction resulting from movement of soil surrounding the pile. This paper presents the results of three-dimensional finite difference analyses conducted to understand the effect of liquefiable soils on the seismic performance of piles and pile groups embedded in stratified soil deposits using the numerical tool FLAC3D. A comparative study has been conducted on the performance of pile foundations on level ground and sloping ground. The soil model consists of a non-liquefiable, slightly cemented sand layer at the top and bottom and a liquefiable Nevada sand layer in between. This stratified ground is subjected to 1940 El Centro, 2001 Bhuj (India) earthquake ground motions, and harmonic motion of 0.3g acceleration. Parametric studies have been carried out by changing the ground slope from 0° to 10° to understand the effects of sloping ground on pile group response. The results indicate that the maximum bending moments occur at boundaries between liquefiable and non-liquefiable layers, and that the bending moment increases with an increase in slope angle. The presence of a pile cap prevents horizontal ground displacements at ground level. Further, it is also observed that the displacements of pile groups under sloping ground are in excess of those on level ground due to lateral spreading. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-05 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The level of investment in AVs technology has been increasing over the years as both researchers and developers are cooperating with the objective of developing AVs and understanding their behaviors and implications. Despite the enthusiastic speculation about AVs, little is known about the implications of AVs on our lives and the intertwined relationships between the implications. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to reveal the benefits and risks of AVs and sketch out the main trends in this area in order to provide some directions and recommendations for the future. This study focuses on analyzing the impact of AVs on the required fleet size, vehicle utilization, cost of mobility, public transit service, public behavior, transportation network, land use, economy, environment, society, and public health. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the intertwined relationship between the implications of AVs. Additionally, the paper sheds light on the potential benefits and challenges of the deployment of AVs in developing countries. The analysis shows that while AVs offer multiple benefits, they also pose new risks. The degree to which AVs can affect our plant mainly depends on regulatory actions, as the broader implications of AVs are mainly dependent on how the technology will be adopted, which can be controlled by regulatory actions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The environmental degradation in the vicinity of landfills or mills is caused by waste paper disposable. Each year, the industry's paper waste is increasing gradually. As a result, additional places are required for landfills, which consume energy, deplete natural resources, and increase expenditure and environmental pollution. Pollution can be reduced by adding WP to a concrete mixture in concrete production. This review paper investigates the physical and chemical properties of waste paper. Besides that, the mechanical properties of concrete containing waste paper, such as compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, are also studied in this review paper. All reviews of the intended studies include experimental tests. From the reviews, all strengths were increased with the inclusion of waste paper, either by addition, substitution, or replacement with fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, or cement. By using waste paper, not only would concrete have advantages and benefits, but also environmentally friendly construction materials could be produced from time to time. It has been noted in most studies that the inclusion of waste paper brings significant benefits. It can be concluded that waste paper potentially has favorable properties for concrete production. The concrete performance will improve in terms of compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths with waste paper inclusion at certain percentages compared to ordinary concrete with no waste paper content. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Stairs play an important role as an escape way and are considered a source of safety in the building during an earthquake. Neglecting the stairs in the 3D analysis model is the main cause of the stairs' failure during the earthquake. Although the previous researchers had focused on the behavior of stairs when changing single variables such as height, location, and layout under seismic loads, no detailed investigation that gathers these variables together was considered. This research studies the effects of changing the number of storeys for a building subjected to an earthquake when considering and neglecting stairs in the 3D analysis with and without shear walls. The effect of the volume and location of the shear wall has been considered through conducting computational analysis using ETABS software to help the structural engineer choose the proper system of stairs and shear walls. Neglecting the staircase in the 3D analysis affects the structure's performance, which leads to ignoring many stresses transferred to the stairs, causing several damages to the stairs during an earthquake. For the existing building without a shear wall, considering the staircases in the analysis improves the performance of the structure under seismic loads. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The coefficient of variation (CV) is a useful statistical tool for measuring the relative variability between multiple populations, while the ratio of CVs can be used to compare the dispersion. In statistics, the Bayesian approach is fundamentally different from the classical approach. For the Bayesian approach, the parameter is a quantity whose variation is described by a probability distribution. The probability distribution is called the prior distribution, which is based on the experimenter’s belief. The prior distribution is updated with sample information. This updating is done with the use of Bayes’ rule. For the classical approach, the parameter is quantity and an unknown value, but the parameter is fixed. Moreover, the parameter is based on the observed values in the sample. Herein, we develop a Bayesian approach to construct the confidence interval for the ratio of CVs of two normal distributions. Moreover, the efficacy of the Bayesian approach is compared with two existing classical approaches: the generalised confidence interval (GCI) and the method of variance estimates recovery (MOVER) approaches. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to compute the coverage probability (CP) and average length (AL) of three confidence intervals. The results of a simulation study indicate that the Bayesian approach performed better in terms of the CP and AL. Finally, the Bayesian and two classical approaches were applied to analyse real data to illustrate their efficacy. In this study, the application of these approaches for use in classical civil engineering topics is targeted. Two real data, which are used in the present study, are the compressive strength data for the investigated mixes at 7 and 28 days, as well as the PM2.5 air quality data of two stations in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. The Bayesian confidence intervals are better than the other confidence intervals for the ratio of CVs of normal distributions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Renovation usually increases the aesthetic and market value of buildings. Consequently, with the rapid growth of the city's population and skyrocketing demand for decent housing, the current trend of building conversion and renovation of existing and dilapidated property stock within city centres has become rampant. The rise in demand has pushed beyond the boundaries that every real estate investor wants to maximize profit, and it has resulted in the prevalence of uncontrolled building development, land use conversion, and non-compliance with building requirements, etc. Renovations that involve changes in building elements (especially the window system) that can influence energy saving and ventilation efficiency have thus become very common. However, the effects of building renovations on ventilation and energy efficiency have not been fully examined, particularly in Enugu (Nigeria), a rapidly growing colonial metropolis. This research employed a qualitative research approach to investigate the effects of building renovation on ventilation and energy saving in Achara layout, Enugu City, Nigeria. Four blocks of flat residential buildings were the derived sample size using a judgmental sampling technique. Physical measurements, an observation schedule, and oral interviews with site workers centred on window size, area, property, and fenestration type were used to collect empirical data involving the window system. The result reveals a very significant difference between the as-built and renovated window design systems of all studied variables. Its conclusion hinged on the fact that a renovated structure does not encourage effective natural ventilation and hence will consume more energy in cooling and lighting. It recommends the re-introduction of appropriate window systems and construction techniques for the tropical environment to reduce heat stress build-up within building units. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-09 Full Text: PDF
