Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of using different shear reinforcement details on the punching shear behavior of interior slab column connections. A comprehensive experimental program is conducted on sixteen specimens having the same concrete dimensions of 1100×1100×160 mm where the slab depth is chosen to be less than that stipulated by different design codes. The parameters under examination were the type of shear reinforcement arranged in a cross shape perpendicular to the column edges (single leg, multi-leg, and closed stirrups), the spacing between stirrups (25 and 50 mm), and the extended length covered by the stirrups (300 and 425 mm). Experimental results showed that slabs reinforced with multi-leg or closed stirrups, even for slabs with a thickness of 160 mm, had an increase in the shear capacity by up to 40% depending on the stirrup amount. A noticeable enhancement in ductility was also observed. Slabs reinforced with vertical single-leg stirrups did not exhibit any improvements. A finite element analysis was conducted to further assess the punching shear behavior of the tested specimens. A comparison between the test results and values obtained using design codes such as ACI 318-19 and ECP 203-2018 showed that the two design codes give a rather underestimated prediction of the punching shear capacity. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-09-015 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Sustainable development is one of the critical topics in the construction industry today, especially in reducing CO2 emissions and production energy costs. There have been many studies worldwide on using ground granulated blast furnace slag combined with phosphogypsum (PG) to replace binder (B) in making concrete. However, this topic in Vietnam has not received much attention despite the large backlog of phosphogypsum waste. One of the main disadvantages limiting the feasibility of super-sulphated binders in concrete is the relatively slow hydration and hardening processes, which affect the rate of strength development of mortar and concrete, especially at an early age. In this study, the use of Na2CO3 salt as a quick, solid additive can overcome the disadvantages of this type of binder. Research results show that using 15 to 25% phosphorus gypsum waste (PG) and a combination of 60 to 80% finely granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) with a small amount of cement and an activator like Na2CO3can replace cement in making concrete. The concrete mix has good workability, and the maximum compressive strength after 28 days can reach over 50 MPa. Using industrial wastes as the main ingredients to make binders will improve sustainable development, reducing environmental pollution and the cost of mortar and concrete products in construction. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the impact of drought on the life cycle of barge transportation. The LCA method was used to quantify the environmental impact of barge transportation services on the Madeira River/Brazil: Transportation Operation, Barge Fleet, and Waterway Infrastructure. A model for barge convoy formation was developed as a function of river water level variation. From this, the transport operation was simulated, considering the loading of grains from the Madeira River in 2021, as well as the respective fuel consumption and CO2Eq emissions. The results indicate that barge transportation is more harmful to the environment during drought, since only a convoy of nine barges is allowed to navigate, and its energy efficiency is compromised due to the longer travel time and lower loading capacity in one trip. The intense use of this barge convoy implied an increase of 22.25% in CO2Eqemissions when compared to the full river. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The amount of concrete utilized worldwide has lately grown due to rising populations and urbanization. The gas emissions during cement manufacturing and the usage of common resources result in a significant environmental threat. As a result, researchers are attempting to minimize the amount of cement consumed by using waste materials while lowering building costs. This research aims to minimize the amount of cement used in concrete by partially replacing it with ceramic powder waste while also increasing the mechanical qualities of concrete mortar by substituting cement with nanoclay hydrophilic bentonite. Mortar samples were prepared using five different replacement percentages of cement by nanoclay, including 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%, and two replacement percentages of cement by ceramic powder, including 0% and 20%. Compressive and flexural strength tests were performed on mortar samples for 7, 14, and 28 days of moist curing. The toughness was also measured for all mixes by measuring the area under the load-deflection curve. Also, water absorption and relative densities for all mortar mixes were measured. The results show that replacing cement with 2% nanoclay and 20% ceramic powder increases the flexural strength by 11%. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-07-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

A semi-slab of precast concrete (or half-slab) is a structural system that consists of concrete at the bottom half of a slab and concrete cast in situ at the top. To avoid traditional formwork and minimize the bottom half of the slab, this section can function as formwork and reduce the thickness of precast slabs, which makes their transportation easy. The interface between precast and overtopping concrete is effective for the slab system's performance. To improve the half-slab floor system, it is needed to have a shear connector (stirrups). Therefore, to better understand the behavior of this slab system, six full-scale slab specimens (2×7.5 m) with different shapes of the stirrups and spacing between them were constructed for this study. One specimen was produced with no connections and served as a reference specimen, while the other employed stirrups to connect slab units. The tests found that the distribution and type of stirrups affect the structural performance of the semi-precast concrete slab. The maximum load capacity of slabs with rectangular or triangular connections was nearly more significant than reference slabs, reaching 136.11 and 86.11%, respectively. The maximum load increased by 81.4 % for rectangular connections and 54.9% for triangular connections when the distance between the connectors was reduced from 600 to 300 mm. Furthermore, stirrups in semi-precast slabs could improve the cracking behavior, stiffness, and ductility. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-08-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The study is based on designing the mix design of the concrete for the class named MR_DK_E1: C30/37, one of the most widely used classes of normal concrete. To see the effect of the fibers on concrete, we will design three mixtures that in other components are similar to the first mixture "Normal Concrete",but as an additive, we will add 0.75%, 1.5%, and 2.0% of steel fiber (Romfracht SRL Company Profile) to the mass of concrete. Although some researchers have already detailed the favourable qualities of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), there is very little data regarding the design and performance of this type of concrete. To get to know something more in terms of the properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete, during the realization of this work we will perform some experimental tests based on European standards to understand closely how fibers affect the growth and improvement of properties of concrete with lime aggregate and local cement CEM II/BM (WL) 42.5N, applying different percentages of fibers to the volume of the concrete. For all mixtures, the necessary tests on the properties of wet concrete and hardened concrete will be performed, while the obtained results will be compared between the same kinds, where conclusions and recommendations will be drawn that can serve for further studies and use in engineering practice in our country. Three different mixtures of fibre content were applied. Experiments show that for all selected mixtures of fibre content, a more ductile behaviour and higher load levels in the post-cracking range were obtained. The study forms the basis for the selection of suitable fibre types and content for their most efficient combination with regular steel bar reinforcement. Also, special attention will be given to the use of SFRC for constructive elements. This experimental research concerning SFRC has been performed in the building materials laboratory near UBT, the Proing laboratory-Pristina, and GIM-Skopje (Kosovo). Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-09-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Now a days, a great distance has to be travelled to find good quality natural river sand. These supplies are also running out very quickly. So, a replacement for river sand is being sought after. Natural river sand is non-renewable and takes millions of years to be produced. By using manufactured sand, natural sand is completely replaced. Lack of research has led to the substitution of leftover waste foundry sand for manufactured sand in concrete. By adding used foundry sand to concrete, it is possible to enhance mechanical properties like compressive strength, fracture toughness, and flexibility. Using tests on cubes, cylinders, and unreinforced beams, the mechanical properties of concrete made with waste foundry sand and manufactured sand as fine aggregate were assessed. Tensile, splitting, and flexural strengths of the concrete were all determined after 7, 14, 28, 56, and 90 days of curing. SEM, EDS, and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA/DCs) were also used to perform micro structural analyses on the control mixture and mixtures containing 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% waste foundry sand. The strength differences that occur when fine aggregates are replaced with waste foundry sand in different proportions are better understood, thanks to the micro structural experiments. In order to justify its use as a replacement for fine aggregate in terms of strength and microstructure studies, just the right amount of WFS was added to the concrete. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The Caspian Sea is of particular interest. Against the background of long-term sea level changes, low-lying coastal areas in the northern part are subject to constant flooding as a result of storm surges. The elongation of the sea in the meridional direction allows the development of strong waves in the middle and southern parts. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of storm surges and storm waves is especially important in the context of ongoing climate change. This study is devoted to the analysis of storm surges for the time period from 1979 up to 2017 and wind waves from 1979 to 2020 in the Caspian Sea region. The circulation model ADCIRC and the wave model WAVEWATCH III with wind and pressure forcing from the NCEP/CFSR reanalysis were used. The modeling is performed on different unstructured grids with spacings of 500–900 m in the coastal zone. Mean and extreme values of surges, wave parameters and storm activity are provided in the research. The maximum significant wave height for the whole period was 8.2 m. The average long-term SWH did not exceed 1.1 m. No significant trends in the storm activity were found. The maximum surge height was 2.7 m. The analysis of the interannual variability of the surges' occurrence showed that 7–10 surges with a height of more than 1 meter were detected every year. The total duration of these surges was 20–30 days per year. Assessment of the risks of coastal flooding was carried out by calculating the extreme values of the sea for different return periods: 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years. The extreme sea level values in the northern part of the Caspian Sea for the 100-year return period are close to 3 m, and the areas with big surges are located along the eastern and western coasts. A forecast is made for the recurrence of storm wind waves in the 21st century based on climatic scenarios in CMIP5. A statistically significant increase in the recurrence of storm waves is to be expected in the near future, but that increase is not severe. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-01 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research discusses developing an Euler turbine-based hybrid mesh turbomachinery. Within the framework of mechanical engineering science, turbomachinery classification and a novel method for mesh turbomachinery design were considered. In such a turbomachine, large blades are replaced by a set of smaller blades, which are interconnected to form flow channels in a mesh structure. Previous studies (and reasoning within the framework of inductive and deductive logic) showed that the jet mesh control system allows for operation with several flows simultaneously and provides a pulsed flow regime in flow channels. This provides new opportunities for expanding the control range and reducing the thermal load on the turbomachine blades. The novel method for performance evaluation was confirmed by the calculation: the possibility of implementing pulsed cooling of blades periodically washed by a hot working gas flow (at a temperature of 1000°C) and a cold gas flow (at a temperature of 20°C) was shown. The temperature of the blade walls remained 490–525°C. New results of ongoing research are focused on creating multi-mode turbomachinery that operates in complicated conditions, e.g., in offshore gas fields. Gas energy is lost and dissipated in the throttle at the mouth of each high-pressure well. Within the framework of ongoing research, the environmentally friendly net reservoir energy of high-pressure well gas should be rationally used for operating a booster compressor station. Here, the energy consumption from an external power source can be reduced by 50%, according to preliminary estimates. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-017 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Worldwide and especially in less developed regions, process-based evaluations and/or geomorphological information on large-scale rivers are still scarce. Such investigation become of ‎urgent ‎need due to the climate change and expected occurrence of extreme floods and drought which ‎may ‎threaten the safety of nearby and downstream cities, especially in regions that are highly sensitive and ‎affected by climatic changes. The Tigris River, in Iraq, is one such river that has undergone significant alteration to its flow and morphologic aspects due to climate change and the construction of many dams. However, morphology and its change for many reaches of this river are still uninvestigated. To this end, field and satellite-based investigations into the morphology of a reach located between Makhool District and Tikrit City have been conducted. In addition to the cross-sectional survey-based determination of the reach geometrical aspects, a sinuosity indices-based evaluation of the reach planform was implemented, utilizing a satellite indices-based approach. Furthermore, the characteristics of bed material were identified through field sampling. Investigation results show that the reach has a steep bed slope and many islands of low altitude with an elongated shape. The reach has a mild sinuosity with alternating bars. The dominant particle sizes of the bed material are coarse and medium gravel with a dominant particle shape of disc particles. Moreover, the satellite-based change detection indicated the fading out and disappearance of some secondary channels, the growth of many islands, and the movement of some bends downstream. The percentage of changing parts for the period 1975–2021 is 14%. Most of this change, 11%, occurred after the construction of the Mosul Dam. This reveals the sensitivity of reach morphology to flow change due to the construction of dams. The conducted fieldwork and the applied methodology contribute to supporting efforts to add knowledge worldwide about uninvestigated rivers. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-07-03 Full Text: PDF
