Abstract

The structural performance of a steel-concrete-steel sandwich beam (SCSSB) with welded stirrups to the steel skin plates as shear connections exposed to a pure torsion load was studied in this paper. Eight SCSSB specimens were fabricated and tested under pure torsion. The effects of the compressive strength of the concrete core, 26 and 35 MPa, the thickness of the top and bottom steel skin plates, 2 and 4 mm, and the degree of shear interaction, which represents the number of beam stirrups, between the steel skin plates and the concrete core are 75, 100, and 125%. The experiment beams revealed a similar mode of failure for all SCSSB specimens regarding all considered variables, which started with inclined cracks along the specimens’ side faces and ended with local separation between one of the steel skin plates (top or bottom) and the concrete core. In addition, the experiment results showed an increase in the torsional strength with the increase in the shear connection ratio and the thickness of the steel skin plate, as well as with the increase in the strength of the concrete core. However, it was observed that the torsional ductility of the tested beams is proportional directly to the steel skin plate thickness and degree of interaction and inversely with the concrete compressive strength. The results showed that the use of steel skin plates with welded stirrups as a shear connection could reduce the negative effect of increasing the compressive strength of the concrete core on the torsional ductility of SCSSB. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-01-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

A pico-hydro-type crossflow turbine (CFT) with an off-grid system configuration is a suitable option to increase the electrification ratio in remote or rural areas because it has a simple shape and can be applied in run-of-river conditions. Yet, a comprehensive study is necessary for the CFT to be applied to run-of-river conditions (low head and extreme fluctuation discharge), since this is categorized as an impulse turbine. One solution to optimize the CFT’s performance in this context is to increase the lift force. Hence, this study investigated the effect of the upper blade of the CFT with convex and curved configurations using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The CFD transient approach uses a moving mesh feature, and the solver is pressure-based in low-head conditions (5 m pressure). The CFD results and analysis of variance (ANOVA) calculation results from this study reveal that the upper CFT affects the performance of the turbine. The relationship of the CFT performance with the rotation and specific speed is parabolic. The express empirical law relation for performance to rotation is a four-order polynomial, and for performance to a specific speed, a three-order polynomial. Based on empirical laws, a CFT with a convex blade is recommended for conditions with low head and extreme fluctuation discharge since it has a wider range of specific speeds than a curved blade, propeller, or Kaplan, Pelton, or Francis turbine. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-01-012 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Peat soil was defined as the highly organic surface layer derived primarily from plant remains. Peat, on the other hand, was the subsurface of wetland systems, consisting of unconsolidated superficial layers with a high non-crystalline colloid (humus) content. Peat soils have a low shear strength of 5 to 20 kPa, a high compressibility of 0.9 to 1.5, and a high moisture content of >100%. The purpose of the study was to prognosticate the potential of Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) as peat soil stabilization material with improved technique and its consequence of the methods, which was the peat soils index properties and analyse the characteristics of the peat soil stabilization before and after treatment using Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP). The soil was mixed with 10, 20, and 30% Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) and then compacted (compaction test) in a metal mould with an internal diameter of 105 mm using a 2.5 kg rammer of 50 mm diameter, freefalling from 300 mm above the top of the soil Three layers compaction of approximately equal depth and 27 blows spread evenly over the soil surface for each layer. The expected result to accomplish the main purpose was to prognosticate the potential Eco-Processed Pozzolan (EPP) as peat soil stabilization material with improved technique and its consequence of the methods. According to the findings, peat soil treated with EPP will transform its qualities from peat to usable soil. However, the presence of moisture will reduce the mixture's ability. According to the findings of this study, the optimum EPP for stabilizing peat soils was 30-40%. Correspondingly, the elemental composition of peat soil mixed with EPP improved regardless of Carbon, Ca composition. Comparatively, the amount of Silicon, Si increased from 6.5% (Peat + EPP 10%) to 12.9% (Peat + EPP 40%) due to the crystallization of EPP and peat. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-01-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This manuscript investigates the possibility of using recycled glass fiber-reinforced polymer for the production of load-bearing elements in construction. Due to the increasing use of GFRP in the world, an increasing amount of waste is generated. The main objective of this research is to expand the use of composite materials in construction and, in particular, to examine the possibilities of original and recycled GFRP. Firstly, the basic characteristics of two different but very similar materials were determined using standard testing samples. Subsequently, experimental beam models were tested as a four-point bending beam model. The beam models used in this experiment were made of two types of materials, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and recycled glass fiber-reinforced polymer (RGFRP). The experiments were conducted until the failure of the beam models. The test results are presented in the form of a force/displacement diagram, and the confirmation of the experimental results is shown by means of a numerical model of the beam. Both materials exhibited a very good strength-to-weight ratio, rendering them a suitable choice of material for load-bearing beam elements. Finally, the justification for recycling and the comparison of original and recycled material are presented in a dimensionless diagram. The comparison of these two materials provides some good insights for future research into GFRP beams. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-017 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The development of sustainable concrete in achieving the developmental goals of the United Nations in terms of sustainable infrastructure and innovative technology forms part of the focus of this research paper. In order to move towards sustainability, the utilization of the by-products of agro-industrial operations, which are fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA), in the production of concrete has been studied. Considering the environmental impact of concrete constituents, multiple mechanical and hydraulic properties of fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA) concrete have been proposed using intelligent techniques; artificial neural network (ANN) and evolutionary polynomial regressions (EPR). Also, an intelligent mix design tool/chart for this case under study is proposed. Multiple data points of concrete materials, which were further reduced to ratios as follows; cement to binder ratio (C/B), aggregate to binder ratio (Ag/B), and plasticizer to binder ratio (PL/B) were used in this exercise. At the end of the protocol, it is observed that the constituents’ ratios are dependent on the behavior of the whole, which can be solved by using the proposed model equations and mix design charts. The models performed optimally, as none showed any performance below 80%. However, ANN, which predicted Fc03, Fc07, Fc28, Fc60, Fc90, Ft28, Ff28 & Fb28, S, Ec28 & K28, and P with an accuracy of greater than 95% each with average error of less than 9.4% each, is considered the decisive technique in predicting all the studied concrete properties, including the life cycle assessment potential of the concrete materials. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the structure for energy absorption in order to countermeasure the scouring on the bridge abutment. Consider a porous structure for energy absorption, which can reduce flow velocity and depth of scouring due to its porosity. The energy absorber plate demonstrated in triangular shape with several porous as submerged barrier. The investigation was conducted in laboratory and placed the abutment in the middle of the channel with a distance of 3Lb, 5Lb, 7Lb and 9Lb. The plate area consists of 0% (MP1), 5% (MP2), and 10% (MP3). The scour depth measurement (ds) is carried out at 6 crucial points in the abutment area. Comparisons between experimental measurements and a numerical prediction model are presented. The experimental results show that the percentage of frictional velocity in the inhibition area for each pore opening before the obstacle, 31.42% (decreasing), - 9.27% (increasing), and -32.92% (increasing), respectively. Furthermore, the optimum position of the porous energy absorber at 9Lb to the abutment. The magnitude decreases of scour depth obtained from MP2. It can be concluded that the placement of energy absorbers can lead to damping forces. It also found that the porous structures could be beneficial for motion damping and absorber of the scouring. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-019 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

A physiological-based driver monitoring system (DMS) has attracted research interest and has great potential for providing more accurate and reliable monitoring of the driver’s state during a driving experience. Many driving monitoring systems are driver behavior-based or vehicle-based. When these non-physiological based DMS are coupled with physiological-based data analysis from electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), and electromyography (EMG), the physical and emotional state of the driver may also be assessed. Drivers’ wellness can also be monitored, and hence, traffic collisions can be avoided. This paper highlights work that has been published in the past five years related to physiological-based DMS. Specifically, we focused on the physiological indicators applied in DMS design and development. Work utilizing key physiological indicators related to driver identification, driver alertness, driver drowsiness, driver fatigue, and drunk driver is identified and described based on the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-Sc) Framework. The relationship between selected papers is visualized using keyword co-occurrence. Findings were presented using a narrative review approach based on classifications of DMS. Finally, the challenges of physiological-based DMS are highlighted in the conclusion. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-020 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Human health can be negatively impacted by exposure to loud noise, which can harm the auditory system. Traffic noise is the leading cause of noise pollution. This paper studies the problem of noise pollution on the roads in Baghdad, Iraq. Due to the increase in vehicle numbers and road network modifications in Baghdad, noise levels became a serious topic to be studied. The aim of the paper was thus to study traffic noise levels and the effect of the traffic stream on noise levels and to formulate a prediction model that identified the guidelines used for designing or developing future roads in the city. Then, the noise levels were measured based on five variables: the functional classification of roads, traffic flow, vehicle speed, distance from the carriageway, and skid number. An analysis of traffic noise prediction was conducted using a simple linear regression model to accurately predict the equivalent sound levels. Finally, the findings have shown that the formulated prediction model gives acceptable prediction noise levels since the R2 is 88.83%. The results showed that the noise levels measured were 23.1% and 48.8% higher than the allowable noise levels limited by Iraqi standards during the daytime and nighttime, respectively. Further, studying the alternatives used to improve the performance of the environment on the existing roads in Baghdad can be considered as a future research direction. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Built-up steel girders have many applications in structural engineering, both in bridges and buildings. Flat web steel girders, which are the traditional choice, involve several weaknesses. Girders with corrugated webs were found to be more effective in their load-carrying capacity and deflection than girders with flat webs. In light of this, an effort is made in this work to examine how the addition of triangular corrugated webs influences the load-bearing capacity and deflection of steel girders. This study aimed to determine whether or not the strength of built-up steel with corrugated webs could be improved. A concentrated midspan load was applied to six simply supported steel beams of varying span-to-depth ratios (1.0, 1.833, and 2.5) and web corrugation amplitudes (30 and 60 mm). An increase in ultimate strength of 15.7% to 35.1% was found for webs with triangular corrugations of 30 mm and from 2% to 29.1% for webs with corrugations of 60 mm. A reduction in deflection of up to 35.3% can be attained when using triangular corrugated webs. It was also found that using webs with 30 mm corrugations was more efficient than using webs with 60 mm corrugations. The effect of corrugation was found to fade when the span-to-depth ratio increased to 2.5. This led to the conclusion that using webs of 30 mm amplitude of triangular corrugation could improve the strength and serviceability of steel girders. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-02-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Squat shear walls are widely used in various structures to resist earthquake loads. However, the relevant design expressions found in building codes and literature do not incorporate the influence of all crucial parameters and provide inconsistent peak shear strength estimations. This study adopts the artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the peak shear strength of squat walls using an extensive database that includes the results of 487 walls with wide-ranging test parameters. The ANN models consider the effect of concrete strength, the wall aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcements, vertical reinforcement of boundary elements, and axial load ratio. These accurately predicted the available test results. They implemented it to carry out parametric and sensitivity analysis to investigate the effect of the main parameters on the peak strength and to give information about the factors that contribute most to the shear response. In addition, a softened strut and tie method is proposed, considering the variables that substantially influence the shear strength. A nonlinear regression analysis is employed to determine the coefficients of the proposed model using the available database. The performance of the proposed model is measured using the existing models, which results in the best favorable agreement with the test results. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-02-03 Full Text: PDF
