Abstract

In Vietnam, solid waste from construction activities significantly impacts environmental pollution. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), derived from waste concrete, can serve as a coarse aggregate in concrete production. However, compared to natural aggregates, RCA exhibits distinct characteristics, including lower strength, higher water absorption, and an increased angular and rough surface. These properties may influence concrete’s workability, compressive strength, and durability. This research investigates the influence of RCA on the properties of High-Fly-Ash Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). The study explores various replacement levels of natural coarse aggregate with RCA (0%, 50%, 75%, and 100%), alongside a 50% volume fraction of fly ash. Key concrete properties evaluated include workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion permeability. The findings reveal that using 100% RCA in combination with a high fly ash content (50%) produces SCC that meets workability requirements according to EFNARC standards. However, there are trade-offs: the compressive strength decreases by 4.61%, the flexural strength decreases by 3.1%, and chloride ion permeability increases by 57.57% compared to the control sample (using natural aggregates). Notably, the chloride ion permeability of SCC using 100% RCA falls into the category of low permeability. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2024-010-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the seismic performance of Kancingan house walls and the behavior of their timber frames, brick infill, and anchor nails during cyclic loading tests. Kancingan House, a timber frame building with brick infill walls, is a cost-effective and efficient method of wall construction commonly used in houses in Merauke, Indonesia. The experimental method was used to determine the seismic performance of the walls built using buswood with a module width of 100 cm and a height of 130 cm through cyclic load testing. The result showed a maximum lateral load of 26.43 kN with a displacement of 19.08 mm under compression loading and 28.78 kN under tensile loading with 15.6 mm displacement. The initial stiffness was measured at 5.03 kN and 9.59 kN/mm for compressive and tensile loading, respectively. Furthermore, ultimate load and displacement of 21.14 kN and 23.02 kN were obtained at a displacement of 30.68 mm under compressive loading and 25.23 mm under tensile loading. The ductility values of 10.76 and 9.78 were obtained under compressive and tensile loading. In conclusion, the study found that each wall element supports the seismic performance of the structure. As opposed to the timber frame, the infill walls have not suffered much damage except a hair crack because of the presence of anchor nails that keep the infill wall from collapsing when it loses its bond with the timber frames. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-08-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study addresses the challenging task of modeling laminated glass responses to extreme loading scenarios for the design and analysis of protective structures. The primary objective is to seek an optimal modeling approach that balances accuracy and computational efficiency. To achieve this, the failure modeling of laminated glass layups comprising thin and thick panels with three and eleven layers is investigated under blast loading conditions. Various simulation techniques are employed, including the finite element method (FEM) with element erosion/deletion, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and a hybrid approach involving the conversion of elements into particles. The feasibility and limitations of each technique are examined, considering both accuracy and computational cost. Experimental results from arena and shock tube testing scenarios assess the deployed modeling techniques and the presented comparisons. Emphasis is placed on mesh sensitivity and the significance of adaptive meshing in capturing fracture patterns. The present paper suggests that utilizing hybrid techniques results in optimal modeling outcomes. Furthermore, the stability of the modeling results under diverse blast conditions is confirmed. This article contributes to the field by offering insights into modeling laminated glass responses to extreme loading, emphasizing the use of hybrid techniques to strike a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. This research enhances the understanding of protective structure design and analysis, highlighting the critical importance of computational methods in this context. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The Abassia-Shammia is a meandering stream in Najaf province. Predicting and estimating the flow behavior of meandering rivers is crucial for designing hydraulic structures in an accurate manner in the vicinity and conducting environmental and ecological studies. The hydraulic properties of an alluvial stream are typically subject to change due to its location between two barrages. In this study, HEC RAS 2D, developed by the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System, was employed to simulate the hydraulic performance of the Euphrates River reach between two series of barrages, i.e., Abbassia and Shammia. Reliable input data, such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), land cover classification, and data for the 2023 hydrograph as a boundary condition, were utilized to develop the hydraulic model. The model was calibrated by using the observed water surface elevation from field measurements downstream of Abbassia to match the ones calculated by the model. Hence, the hydraulic model of the Euphrates River was created using an appropriate Manning roughness coefficient value (n = 0.04) based on the most suitable values of statistical indices, correlation coefficient (R²), and root mean squared error (RMSE) to assess the agreement between the observed and simulated data throughout the calibration and validation phases. To visualize the HECRAS2D output, the hydraulic maps for the study region were presented. The ten cross-sections from the field study (investigated at the same period of flow hydrograph) were presented for modeling to emphasize the river's hydraulic behaviors. Based on the results, the water surface elevation ranged between 19.1–29.2 m.a.s.l., and the flow velocity was 2.50 m/s. Meanwhile, the values of bed shear stress (Pa) and the water depth (m) ranged between 0.1 Pa and 8.93 m for the entire river. The results also proved the superiority of the HEC RAS2D model to reliably represent the hydraulic performance of the Euphrates River reach located between the two barrages. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-05-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of shear reinforcement amount and arrangement on the shear capacity of shallow/wide RC beams. Seven specimens of shallow/wide beams with different ultimate shear reinforcement stress (μ.Fys), longitudinal spacing to depth ratio (S/d), and transversal spacing to depth ratio (S’/d) were tested under a monotonic three-point bending test. All the specimens were designed to fail at shearing. The results showed that the shear reinforcement was fully functioning until it yielded; also, the amount of shear reinforcement had the major impact on the shear capacity; in addition, the transverse spacing had more influence on the shear capacity than the longitudinal spacing. The measured shear capacities were compared to six design codes, in which the results ranged from 95% to 110%, with the Japanese code (JSCE) being the closest to the experimental results. Two AI-based predicting equations, “Genetic Programming” (GP) and “Evolutionary Polynomial Regression” (EPR), were also compared to the experimental, with accuracies of 78% and 86% of the measured capacities, respectively. Initial stiffness, final stiffness, dissipated energy, and ductility were all discussed for the seven specimens, with ultimate shear reinforcement stress being the most impactful on the total shear capacity of the wide beams. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-12-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Premature debonding is identified as the main failure mode in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) laminates. This issue leads to the underutilization of FRP materials and needs to be addressed. Research has shown that end anchorage systems can effectively delay/mitigate delamination failures and enhance the performance of strengthened beams. FRP U-wraps are an effective means to prevent debonding failure; however, as open-form anchors, U-wraps cannot always guarantee complete resistance to debonding failures. This study proposes an alternative U-wrapping technique where the ends of the U-wraps are flared and inserted into the concrete substrate. The feasibility and effectiveness of this technique were studied by comparing it with conventional U-wraps. The experimental phase involved testing seven RC beams, each measuring 1.96×0.15×0.3 meters, under four-point bending. The results showed that the anchorage technique improved beam performance in terms of load-deflection behavior, failure modes, ductility, and FRP strain. Additionally, finite element simulations were conducted using Abaqus software to assess the effectiveness of the alternative U-wrap scheme. These models incorporated various nonlinear material constitutive laws, including cohesive zone modeling to replicate debonding failures at the CFRP-concrete interface. The numerical predictions were found to be in good agreement with the experimental test data. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-08-01 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Google Earth, among other online mapping platforms, offers an interactive mapping platform that has become indispensable for academic and research applications. It serves as a primary reference and a foundational tool for map creation, providing open-source, cost-free imagery that meets the user needs of the mapping community. As a contemporary repository of high-resolution images of Earth's landmass, Google Earth has vast potential for scientific exploration and remains an underexploited resource. Its rapid expansion and consistent reliability make it a favored source for mapping and routing tasks. However, this research underscores the crucial aspect of Google Earth's positional accuracy, which is at the heart of this study. A comparative analysis between the positional accuracy of Google Earth and traditional ground surveying maps was conducted. The Wilcoxon rank test and quantitative methods were used to evaluate coordinate discrepancies, revealing significant discrepancies between the two datasets. This study aims to provide a rigorous assessment of Google Earth's utility and accuracy in scientific and academic contexts, emphasizing its role and reliability as a critical resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of mapping. The results revealed displacement changes in both the northing and the easting coordinates. For the northing coordinates, the displacement increases when moving eastward and decreases when moving westward. For the easting coordinates, the displacement increases when moving northward and decreases when moving southward. This pattern highlights spatial discrepancies and the varying impact of location on the dataset's accuracy, emphasizing the need for targeted corrections to enhance data accuracy. These key findings provide valuable insights that could significantly contribute to optimizing mapping practices and efficiently exploiting this vast, yet underexplored, digital resource. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-08-012 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper evaluated the impact of early aluminum formwork (AF) removal on the structural integrity of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-slab systems, specifically focusing on punching shear capacity, deflection, and crack width. The study provided a comprehensive analysis of the AF system, detailing its erection and dismantling sequences while examining its advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, safety principles for early formwork removal were proposed in accordance with the Vietnamese code (TCVN 5574:2018). By utilizing calculation examples based on actual high-rise building constructions and employing the finite element method, the study offered practical guidelines for the safe and effective use of AF systems, balancing rapid construction with structural safety. The findings emphasized the importance of assessing punching shear, deflection, and crack width criteria at the time of formwork removal to ensure structural safety. Results indicated that RC beam-slab systems remain safe in terms of punching shear capacity, deflection, and crack width if the shoring span does not exceed 1.6m when the concrete reaches its design strength. Furthermore, early removal of AF was feasible when the concrete achieved a strength grade of B12.5, with a shoring span of up to 1.6 m and a minimum slab thickness of 200mm. This study also contributed novel insights into optimizing construction efficiency by offering practical guidelines for the safe and effective use of AF systems, thus providing valuable recommendations for construction professionals and engineers. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-10-07 Full Text: PDF
