Abstract

Jack-up platforms are designed to work in three conditions: Transit, Preloading and Operating. The fatigue life of the jack-up platforms in operating condition will be determined to be similar to that of offshore fixed steel structures. In preloading conditions, fatigue damage is usually ignored. Up to now, the fatigue damage of the jack-up leg structure in transit conditions has been calculated at approximately 20% of the total fatigue damage of the jack-up leg structure in two conditions (transit and operating). The approximate calculation method is usually accepted by consultants and register agencies. If the approximation is used, the fatigue life of the jack-up leg structure will be calculated only as for the jacket structure of the fixed offshore structure, with 80% of the allowable fatigue life based on standards. The approximation proved to have many disadvantages: the different travel times of each jack-up rig cannot be mentioned; hot spots that need to be maintained during the transit condition have not been pointed out; it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the jack-up leg structures in the transit condition. In order to overcome the limitations of the approximation method, this paper will propose a method to predict the overall fatigue life of the jack-up leg structure in three main problems. Firstly, we use the analysis method of fatigue of fixed steel offshore structures for jack-up leg structures in operating conditions. Secondly, we suggest a method to analyze the fatigue of the structures in transit conditions. Herein, motion analysis and determination of inertia forces on the leg structure are performed by the Boundary Element Model (BEM) in SACS software. Then the inertia forces are assigned to a Finite Element Model (FEM) in SACS to decide the internal forces of the structures. Hotspot stresses are determined by combining nominal stress from FE analysis results with a concentrated stress factor from the analysis of joint local models in the ANSYS program. Then, fatigue damage and fatigue life of hotspots of the structure are determined in the transit condition. Finally, a formula is suggested to determine total fatigue damage in operating conditions and transit conditions with different cases in relation to different fraction factors. These results are used to predict fatigue life corresponding to the most dangerous cases of structural joints. These new suggestions are applied to fatigue analysis for jack-up Tam Dao 05. Currently, the Tam Dao 05 platform has been operating in the Vietnam East Sea. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The universal need to conserve resources, protect the environment, and use energy efficiently must necessarily be felt in the field of concrete technology. In Algeria, the rapid growth in the construction sector and the difficulties in setting up new quarries make it necessary to find effective alternatives to use them as building materials. The recycling of construction and demolition waste as a source of aggregates for the production of concrete has attracted growing interest from the construction industry. In this context, this work is a part of the approach to provide answers to concerns about the lack of aggregates for concrete. It also aims to develop the inert fraction of demolition materials, mainly concrete construction demolition waste (C&D), as a source of aggregates for the manufacture of new hydraulic concrete based on recycled aggregates. This experimental study presents the results of physical and mechanical characterizations of natural and recycled aggregates, as well as their influence on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The characterization of the materials used has shown that the recycled aggregates have heterogeneity, a high-water absorption capacity, and medium-quality hardness. However, the limits prescribed by the standards in force do not disqualify these materials from use for application as recycled aggregate concrete. The effect of silica fume and superplasticizer percentage on the mechanical and physical properties of concrete with NA and RA was analyzed and optimized using full-factorial design methodology. The results obtained from the present study show acceptable mechanical, compressive, and flexural strengths of concrete based on recycled aggregates by using Superplasticizer and 5% of silica fume, compared to those with natural aggregates. The results of the water absorption as well as the UPV confirm the positive effect of the use of superplasticizer and silica fume on the physical and mechanical behavior of concrete with recycled aggregates. Factorial design analysis shows that the developed mathematical models can be used to predict the physical and mechanical properties of concrete with RAC, superplasticizer, and silica fume. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

One of the main goals in the design of girder bridge deck systems is to determine the cross-sectional distribution of live loads across the different girders that make up the cross-section of the deck. Structural grillage models and current bridge design standards based on a Load Distribution Factor (LDF) provide oversized designs, as demonstrated in this paper. This research introduces a novel method that allows the cross-sectional distribution of live loads on girder bridge decks to be calculated by applying a matrix formulation that reduces the structural problem to 2 degrees of freedom for each girder: the deflection and the rotation of the deck-slab at the centre of the girder’s span. Subsequently, a parametric study is presented that analyses the structural response of 64 girder bridge decks to a total of 384 load states. In addition, the authors compare the outputs of the novel method with those obtained using traditional grillage calculation methods. Finally, the method is experimentally validated on two levels: a) a laboratory test that analyses the structural response of a small-scale girder bridge deck to the application of different load states; b) a real full-scale girder bridge load test that analyses the structural response of the bridge over the Barbate River during its static load test. Based on this analysis, the maximum divergence of the proposed method obtained from the experimental structural response is less than 10%. The use of the proposed novel analysis method undoubtedly provides significant savings in material resources and computing time, while contributing to minimizing overall costs. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-01 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

Compactness is an important feature to ensure subgrade stability where temperature and water infiltration exist in semi-arid areas. Chemical soil stabilization can improve soil properties. This research studies the impact of compaction energy on stabilized subgrade soil and how to improve its geotechnical characteristics in the experimental tests on both unstabilized and stabilized soil samples by adding ordinary Portland cement and sulfate-resistant cement, in percentages by the soil's weight, in order of identification and classification, to the strength properties tests: compaction at multiple energies, CBR, and UCS. A test protocol was followed to assess the relationship between cement soil treatment, mechanical characteristics, and compaction parameters at different energy levels. Findings show that the higher UCS values were recorded with an increase in compaction energy. The MDD of cement stabilized soil increases as compaction energy increases, whereas the OMC decreases, the UCS improves, and the CBR increases. These improvements have a positive influence on the performance of soil used as a subgrade. The combination of cement stabilization and a high compaction level for subgrades using weak soil can improve strength parameters throughout any phase of earthwork construction design that leads to strengthening subgrades, reducing the thickness, and, as a result, low construction cost. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-012 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Since the interaction between the steel reinforcement and concrete directly controls the bond strength between them, poor bond performance results in a direct negative effect on the existing state of reinforced concrete structures. This bond is one of the most important factors affecting the strength of reinforced concrete. The bond strength is measured using the pull-out test. The present paper discusses the effect of the addition of brine and olive oil mill wastewaters to the reinforced concrete mixes. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of brine wastewaters and olive oil mill wastewaters on the bond strength between steel and concrete when adding each of the admixtures to the concrete components. Pull-out tests were conducted on concrete mixes with additive contents of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 % by weight of water for each. It was found that the bonding strength of reinforced concrete specimens with an olive oil mill and brine wastewater improved and decreased by approximately 6–10% and 2–5%, respectively, if compared to the reference samples. These values were observed for mixes with additive contents of 7.5% for olive oil mill wastewaters and 10% for brine wastewaters. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study deals with the investigation of the cyclic behaviour of 316L and 304L austenitic stainless steels in oligocyclic fatigue under biaxial loading. As a first step, we investigated the prediction of the character of 316L steel under imposed stress, by the fixation of a stress and the evolution of another, forming a cross-proportional loading path in a range of stresses. In addition, the analysis of the behavior of steel 304L with respect to the bi-axial union (primary and secondary loadings) was studied in order to produce the ratcheting phenomenon induced by the non-zero mean stress, governing the structure to damage in two opposite directions, diagonally symmetrical. An appreciable confrontation of the intrinsic characters of the two steels under the same loading conditions was discussed in the last intervention, controlled in strain, generating the phenomenon of cross-hardening and imposed stress. Producing the progressive strain that manifests itself at each loading cycle will make it possible to quantify the degree of plasticity of each material and optimize the most relevant steel. In this numerical study, the Chaboche model is selected, which is based mainly on perfect predictions and robust constitutive laws capable of reproducing observed macroscopic phenomena. All the simulations were carried out using the ZéBulon computation code. A lot of work on the behavior of 304L and 316L stainless steel has been carried out by several researchers in recent years. The results of previous experiments and numerical simulations have been compared to the results of this study, and a good match has been found. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Some laterite soil is an inferior material for engineering applications such as road and highway pavement, dam construction and filling material. Laterite soil stabilization is required to increase its strength for field application purposes. The potential use of zeolite and waterglass as stabilizing agents is their pozzolanic properties. This study aims to analyze the strength and bearing capacity of laterite soil stabilized by waterglass-activated zeolite and reinforced with geogrid. The soil sample was prepared with a zeolite percentage of 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20%, and waterglass as much as 2, 4 and 6% with curing times of 0, 7, 14 and 28 days. Furthermore, the physical model test was carried out in the container with the optimum composition obtained from the compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing test (CBR) test. The stabilized subbase layer with geogrid reinforcement was placed on a subgrade layer with a substandard CBR value. The results showed that the compressive strength (UCS) of stabilized soil with a curing time of 7 days was found significantly increased. The CBR value also increased with the content of additive and curing time compared to the untreated soil. The physical model test results showed that the performance of stabilized laterite soil with additives and reinforced by geogrid (ZW-geogrid) as a subbase layer provides more optimal performance in carrying the load compared to the sand-gravel mixtures material. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-05 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a massive in-progress construction project in Pakistan that connects more than 70 countries via multiple trade channels such as highways, railways, roads, and fiber optics. This project also involves the development of local infrastructure and industrial zones in Pakistan, which demands the discovery of new resources of aggregate to facilitate the construction. Therefore, physical characterization research was carried out on the Kirman hill region (Jurassic limestone), District Kurram, Pakistan, to investigate their suitability for utilization as construction materials using site investigation and laboratory studies. The results outline that all typical engineering parameters are within acceptable limits set by international standards like BS, ASTM, and AASHTO. Bituminous tests revealed that Jurassic limestone is appropriate as an aggregate for asphalt wearing coarse. Likewise, the petrographic study performed shows proper matching with engineering tests. The petrographic analysis of Jurassic limestone showed a minute amount of deleterious content; as a result, it is resistant to Alkali silica reaction (ASR) and Alkali carbonate reaction (ACR) expansions. Based on engineering and petrographic analysis, the Jurassic limestone, Kirman hill region, District Kurram, Pakistan is recommended as a potential aggregate for (i.e., base course, subbase course, cement concrete, and asphalt) and other mega and minor civil construction projects. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-02 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
