Abstract

The growing demand for energy has an impact on the development of environmentally friendly renewable energy. The sun is energy that has the potential to be used as electrical energy through light energy and heat energy. Recently, research interest related to photovoltaic performance has increased. Several studies have investigated the effect of panel cooling on photovoltaic performance. In this study, the use of exergy solar panels is considered to improve performance by adding a thermoelectric system. Research work related to photovoltaic testing with thermoelectrics at low temperatures has not been carried out. Therefore, experimental methods to obtain temperature profiles and simulation methods to see the power potential generated from thermoelectrics have been carried out. The experimental method is carried out using mono-crystalline panels with type K sensors to retrieve temperature data and data acquisition as deviations from the current, voltage, and temperature results of the panel. The simulation model was carried out using the ANSYS software. Tests are carried out, taking into account the effect of back panel temperature on system performance. The results showed that the photovoltaic temperature fluctuated due to the influence of cloud cover, the highest photovoltaic temperature was 57°C, and the lowest temperature was 30°C. The maximum power produced by photovoltaic is 39.8W. It is then applied to the thermoelectric simulation based on the highest temperature, and the maximum power value is 1673.4 mW. This photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator system produces a 4.2% increase in power value over conventional photovoltaic systems. The findings in this study can be used as a reference for all types of low-temperature photovoltaic-thermoelectric systems. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-07-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper presents the experimental strength evaluation of geopolymer concrete and ordinary concrete using sea sand and seawater in the mixture. A series of 30 cubic samples with a 150 mm side length and 12 rectangular specimens with a dimension of 100 × 100 × 400 mm (width × thickness × length) were cast and tested in this study. Specimens were divided equally into two groups. The first group of specimens was cast using geopolymer as the main binder (GPC), while the second group of samples was made using ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). While the compression tests were performed for specimens in two groups at the ages of 3, 7, 28, 60, and 120 days, the tensile tests were only performed for specimens at 7 and 28 days. The testing results revealed that the compression strength of GPC specimens using sea sand and seawater was significantly higher than that of OPC samples using the same type of salted sand and water. Besides, the use of sea sand and seawater for replacing river sand and fresh water in the production of GPC is feasible in terms of compressive strength since GPC produces a higher compressive strength than that of conventional concrete. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-08-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in some cities has led to the emergence of numerous subsidiary settlements around their primary cities. Due to this rapid urbanization and growth, there is a great demand for urban land, mostly for commercial, industrial, and residential uses. Urban green spaces and vegetation are at risk due to a large amount of urban land, as seen by a decline in connectivity and increased fragmentation, especially due to land conversion. However, the identification of the spatial and momentary variability in the clustering and fragmentation of vegetation patterns in urban settings has not made full use of local indicators of spatial distribution measurements, such as Baqubah, a city in Iraq. Since it is essential to measure the degree of fragmentation and evaluate urban expansion trajectories consistently, this study proposes a new approach to assessing the anticipated direction of urban extension, using the fragmentation indicator of built-up patterns in urban areas. Sentinel-2 data was used to map the fragmented urban centres and their future extent in the city at a single time point. The proposed method employs indices to capture the initial distribution of spatial patterns of vegetation cover and built-up areas. The main extracted land cover classes, landscape fragmentation performance, and surface density analysis were accomplished in ArcGIS. The results indicate that the entire built-up area in Baqubah has a high degree of fragmentation at 75%, and about 23% of the open space within the urban extent of the city. Two predicted trajectories of urban expansion were also revealed: one may follow the external road direction, while the other is multi-directional, commencing from the edges of the built-up area. The study concludes that the new method is useful for comprehending and assessing urban landscape fragmentation, as well as anticipating its path. This integrated approach to remote sensing and GIS can sufficiently and effectively determine priority urban regions for successful planning and management. In addition, our study's findings highlight the potential of the suggested strategy as a useful spatially explicit method for determining the spatial clustering and fragmentation of urban landscape patterns. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-09-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the partial immersion of sulphate attack on the ultimate load capacity of reinforced self-compacting concrete (SCC) columns and the sulphate attack resistance improvement using silica fume, steel fibres, and the combination of silica fume and steel fibres were assessed. Twelve short circular self-compacting reinforced concrete columns (0.150 m in diameter and 0.7 m long) were cast and divided into groups according to (1) the three acid-attack groups. The first group was tested without an acid attack (control). The second group was tested after 1 month of exposure to 2% acid. The final group was tested after 1 month of exposure to 4% acid and was then (2) subdivided according to the type of casted concrete. The first group was cast with SCC. The second group was cast with SCC and silica fume (0.1% of the cement weight). The third group was cast with SCC and 1% volume fraction steel fibres. The fourth group was cast with SCC silica fume and 1% volume fraction steel fibre. All columns were tested by axial loading. The ultimate load was increased by 42% with silica fume, 190% with steel fibres, and 238% with silica fume and steel fibres. Exposure to 2% and 4% acid reduced the ultimate loads of the columns casted with SCC by 23% and 47%, the columns casted with SCC and silica fume by 34% and 37%, the columns casted with SCC and steel fibres by 69% and 78%, and the columns casted with SCC, silica fume, and steel fibres by 72% and 79%, respectively. Based on the results, using silica fumes improved sulphate resistance, and using steel fibres enhanced sulphate resistance at an acceptable ratio. Furthermore, the mix with silica fume and steel fibres improved sulphate resistance at a good ratio. We encountered several problems in this study. The partial immersion of sulphate affected the strain in both concrete and steel. Future studies using different immersion ratios are recommended. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study presents the findings obtained in post-cyclic behaviour and degradation of shear strength from the static triaxial test, cyclic triaxial test and post-cyclic monotonic triaxial test to study the dynamic loading relationships with the degradation of shear strength after cyclic loading to the maximum strain effect due for Hemic peat soil and aim of this research was to assess the post-cyclic loading condition that brought to the understanding of secant modulus by using dynamic triaxial apparatus. It begins with a visual inspection of fibre characteristics. This is followed by an analysis of static, cyclic, and post-cyclic loading with stress-strain behaviour. Shear strength decreased and notched lower strength than its initial strength. As a matter of fact, PNpt-25 kPa from 1, 2, and 3 Hz are accumulated in the adjacent maximum strain. With regards to this maximum strain, the undrained shear strength ratio shows sequent decreases from higher to lower frequency applied. For instance, PNpt-25 kPa-1Hz to PNpt-25 kPa-3Hz recorded 1.16 to 1.13 undrained shear strength ratios, respectively. The secant modulus (Esec) for all specimens reflects decrement. The secant modulus for BSpt at an effective stress of 100 kPa in static monotonic is about 18.74 MPa, while in post-cyclic, the secant modulus expanded to 19.630 MPa cyclically loaded with 1 Hz. Unfortunately, the secant modulus returned to decline position when higher frequency applied at 2 Hz, where the secant modulus is about 12.781 MPa and continues to decline with 3 Hz at 7.492 MPa. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-015 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study investigated coral and reef fish recovery following the COVID-19 event between low and high environmental disturbance reefs at Racha Yai Island, Southern Thailand. Three and four 50-m permanent line transects were set at low and high environmental reefs to collect the percent of live coral cover, fish diversity and abundance, and fish trophic-functional groups based on diet and habitat use. Our results showed a significant rise in the percentage of live coral cover, the number of individual fish, the number of fish species, and species richness at both bays following the COVID-19 lockdown due to a crucial reduction in human activities on the reef. In addition, there were increases in the number of corallivore fishes belonging to Chaetodontidae and Pomacentridae families and a reduction of omnivorous fish at the fish-feeding tourist attraction reefs due during the COVID-19 lockdown due to reducing fish-feeding tourism. This indicated that restricted human activities and reduced anthropogenic stress on a coral reef may have substantial short-term impacts on reef fish diversity. Our insights could help designate guidelines to manage tourist impacts on coral reefs and aid in their prolonged persistence. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of mesh jet devices for hybrid turbines, including developing Euler's ideas, and considers a new patented version of a mesh jet device designed to create guiding devices for turbines. The research methods are based on simulations using CFD and additive technologies. An intermediate conclusion is that a new scientific direction for the study and creation of mesh jet control systems has been formed as part of developing Euler's ideas. Calculation methods showed possible improvements in the performance of jet devices, including the use of curved tubes proposed by Euler to create turbines. This study shows that at the nozzle or mixing chamber outlet, the jet can deflect by an angle from +180° to -180° within the geometric sphere. This study also shows that the scientific groundwork prepared by Euler is not yet fully understood. The ongoing research mainly focuses on creating multi-mode jet devices designed for control systems for mesh turbomachines. Here, power consumption from an external source can be reduced to save energy. Some results of ongoing studies can also be applied in other industries (for example, when creating hybrid propulsion systems or propulsors). The scientific novelty of this work consists of improving the design methodology of jet machinery and turbomachines. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research aims to study the effects of the size and location of openings on deep beams. The analysis of deep beams with openings presents a rather complex problem for engineers, as there are currently no guidelines within the design codes for this problem. Using the strut and tie model is a feasible solution, but also gives some uncertainties due to the various models that can be used. This paper proposes using a strut and tie model for the deep beams with openings where reinforcement is laid out in the form of embedded struts and ties. The study is divided into an experimental and a numerical part. The experimental study was conducted on eight reinforced concrete deep beams under vertical loads. Seven of the beams had web openings of different sizes and locations, while the eighth specimen was a reference beam without any openings. The beams had the same concrete dimensions with the size of the openings in the web taken as 150 150 mm and 300 300 mm, and the location of the opening in the horizontal direction was varied between 0.11 to 0.4 the span. The experimental results were analyzed in terms of cracking pattern, mode of failure, and load-deflection behavior and then compared to numerical analysis conducted using a finite element program. A parametric study followed to investigate the influence of reinforcement arrangement and reinforcement around the openings on the behavior of deep beams. The results showed that large web openings that directly interrupted the compression strut had the most reduction in beam capacity and that the location of the opening did not significantly affect the strength of the beam in the case of small openings. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research uses urban space reconstruction as the entry point, discussing the characteristics of residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town, Shanghai, based on the method of factor analysis to divide the sense of place into place attachment, place identity, and place dependence. On the whole, residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town is at a common level, and the comprehensive score of residents’ sense of place in Lingang new town is "more than half". Meanwhile, place attachment is the highest, place dependence is the lowest, and place identity is in the middle. Therefore, the sense of place mainly depends on place attachment. Using an independent T test and variance analysis to explore the characteristics of the sense of place, this paper has found that age, income level, education level, household registration, and migration patterns have significantly different influences on the three dimensions of the sense of place. There is no difference in gender and the type of occupation, whether they are working in Lingang New Town or not. The research on the sense of place in suburban industrial development zones presents a new perspective for solving the social space problems in the development zone. Finally, this research suggests improving the construction of public facilities, paying more attention to youth groups’ sense of place, and enhancing the sense of belonging to the highly educated groups and high-income groups, as well as strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship cooperation between the new town and the main city. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-07-014 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Strategic planning is an important stage in the administrative process, as it is considered a specific thinking process and style of work that enables the company to choose the best alternatives that correspond to the company's capabilities and the goals it seeks to achieve. This study aimed to find out the impact of strategic planning for human resources with its dimensions (environmental variables, needs assessment, dealing with results, human resources plan) on the performance of project management with its dimensions (time, cost, safety, quality), and to determine the strategic interaction between (HRP) on the performance of project management in infrastructure contracting companies and its role in facing external challenges. The study used the descriptive approach, through which the researcher developed a scale to answer the questions of the study. The study sample consisted of 120 employees in infrastructure contracting companies, they were divided into non-overlapping groups. The results showed the impact of strategic planning for human resources on the performance of construction project management and its contribution to raising the level of readiness of construction companies in facing external challenges and enabling them to compete with international companies, in addition to the contribution of strategic planning in facing the negative effects resulting from the Corona pandemic. The results are according to the company's age, capital, and the size of the company's project. The results of the study also showed that strategic human resource planning helps project management officials in the early detection of expected danger areas and attracts well-equipped workers with the appropriate skills to work efficiently. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-08-014 Full Text: PDF
