Abstract

This study proposes an innovative passive vibration-control system, named the Pulley Damper Multi-story System (PDMAS), which incorporates pulley tackles installed at multiple stories in the successive stories to amplify inter-story displacement. This configuration significantly enhances the energy absorption efficiency of the linked dampers at the middle of the cable by utilizing the cumulatively amplified story displacements via a continuously stretched cable across the entire structure. The proposed system shows notable potential for controlling responses induced by higher vibration modes by customizing the wire installation layout. The aim of this study is to introduce PDMAS and to investigate its seismic-mitigation effectiveness. As a primary investigation of this new system, comparative experimental studies were conducted through shaking-table tests on nine specimens featuring various cable layouts optimized for the first and second structural vibration modes, with or without dampers, under harmonic waves, white-noise waves, and simulated seismic waves. The experimental results demonstrate that the PDMAS effectively accommodates the cumulative amplified story displacement across the structure to match theoretical damper values. Furthermore, the specimens employing PDMAS with a wire layout optimized for the first structural mode reduced both acceleration and displacement by nearly half compared to specimens without PDMAS. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-01-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Environmental vibrations produced often by industrial and construction processes can affect adjacent soils and structures, sometimes resulting in foundation failure and structural damage. The application of confined cells under foundations as a mitigation technique against dynamic sources, such as generators, is investigated in this study. Numerical models were developed using Plaxis 3D software to simulate the effect of a vibrating source on a circular footing, both with and without confined cells filled with sand soil at varying depths and diameters. In these cells, the soil modeling considered compaction loads typical in actual construction conditions. Results indicate that placing a minimum-diameter cell closer to the foundation with adequate penetration depth can significantly enhance dynamic response and reduce subgrade deformation. The effectiveness of confined soil in minimizing displacement amplitude in the foundation is evaluated, revealing an impressive 86% reduction with specific cell dimensions (Hc/D = 0.50 and Dc/D = 1.15). Moreover, peak particle velocity and excess pore water pressure at monitored points in the surrounding environment experience reductions of 62% and 87%, respectively, demonstrating substantial vibration attenuation. The study does effectively highlight the novelty of the confined sand cell approach, positioning it as a more targeted, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to existing methods, especially for conditions where large-scale, deep vibrations are a concern. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-01-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Sedimentation is the process through which materials transported by water flow settle within that water. Changes in current patterns, driven by tides and variations in current velocity, can influence sediment transport. This study aimed to identify sediment transport patterns and analyze the characteristics of suspended sediment and bed load in the Palu River estuary. We employed field investigations, two-dimensional (2D) numerical modeling, and data analysis to process the findings. The results indicated that the sediment characteristics in the Palu River estuary varied, with a predominance of sand and gravelly sand. Additionally, sediment transportation patterns were found to be primarily influenced by river flow discharge rather than tidal effects. The research findings are presented in a correlation equation that illustrates the relationship between dimensionless parameters: C = ρs.(a.ψ)bwith coefficient values of a = 412.71 and b = (-0.545). The results of this correlation equation indicate that as the energy from water movement increases, sediment becomes more dispersed, leading to changes in the concentration of sediment particles. It can be concluded that various variables affect sediment transport due to hydrodynamic conditions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The optimum design is characterized by structural concrete components that can sustain loads well beyond the yielding stage. This is often accomplished by a fulfilled ductility index, which is greatly influenced by the arrangement of the shear reinforcement. The current study investigates the impact of the shear reinforcement arrangement on the structural response of the deep beams using a variety of parameters, including the type of shear reinforcement, the number of lacing bars, and the lacing arrangement pattern. It was found that lacing reinforcement, as opposed to vertical stirrups, enhanced the overall structural response of deep beams, as evidenced by test results showing increases in ultimate loads, yielding, and cracking of 30.6, 20.8, and 100%, respectively. There was also a 53.6% increase in absorbed energy at the ultimate load. The shear reinforcement arrangement had a greater impact and a significant effect on the structural response than the number of lacing bars. For lacing reinforcement with a phase difference equivalent to the half-lacing cycle (i.e., phase lag lacing), the percentage of improvement under different loading stages was 6.7-27.1% and 20.8-113.3%, respectively. The structural responses are significantly impacted by the lacing arrangement; members with two and three lacing bars, respectively, exhibited improvements in ultimate load of 30.6% and 47%. Beyond the yielding stage, the phase lag lacing specimens deviated from those without phase lag lacing and normal shear stirrups because of the lacing contribution. Phase lag specimens showed more strain than specimens without phase lag lacing, meaning that the lacing reinforcement contributed more to the beam strength. It was found that the first shear cracking load of all the laced reinforced specimens was higher than that of the conventional shear stirrup specimens. Phase lag lacing produced the greatest improvement, with two bars achieving 92.44% and three bars achieving 217.07%. For the aforementioned number of bars, lacing shear reinforcement without phase lag was less successful, with 36.91% and 46.53%, respectively. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-019 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Rail systems are vital to the modern urban infrastructure and offer efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions. The Gaziray Rail System Line in Gaziantep, Türkiye addresses the region's transportation needs while considering potential hazards such as electrical malfunctions and fuel leaks. This study thoroughly assesses fire occurrences and how they affect the structural integrity of tunnel elements, thereby affecting repair costs and continuity of operations. Fire tests and modeling were employed to precisely assess tunnel fire effects, focusing on potential train fires in Gaziray Rail System Line tunnels. This study highlights the importance of vital airflow for effectively directing smoke. It also identifies the ventilation systems required to ensure optimal airflow while maintaining the structural integrity and evacuation pathways. The study identified 18 jet fans with an outlet velocity of 35.7 m/s and flow rate of 40.4 m³/s, which is essential for safe evacuation. The maximum wall temperatures ranged from 774 to 923°C, highlighting the potential fire severity. Recommendations emphasize fire-resistant materials, optimized ventilation systems, and reinforced emergency evacuation measures that are crucial for enhanced safety. Continuous training and awareness efforts ensure swift and secure evacuation during fire incidents, contributing to robust fire safety protocols for the Gaziray Rail Line. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-014 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Global warming negatively impacts indoor environments, affecting human comfort. Despite global efforts, energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. As sustainable building designs become more critical, enhancing energy efficiency through real-time data analytics is essential. The Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) is a key metric for assessing a building’s energy usage, considering factors like orientation, location, and climate. However, limited research has examined real-time data's impact on OTTV coefficients. Therefore, this research aims at developing and validating new OTTV coefficients using real-time data with the EQUEST simulation engine. The coefficients of OTTV (Equivalent Temperature Difference TDeq, Temperature Difference ∆T, and Solar Factor SF) were monitored in real-time using HOBO Temperature Data loggers and Delta Ohm Photometer for Solar Radiations. Focusing on UTM Eco-Home building, the study calculates heat gain components, including transmission through walls, windows, and radiation heat gain. The findings of the study suggest that the modified OTTV equation accurately determines a building's OTTV, enhancing energy efficiency evaluations. The novelty of the study lies in the development of a new OTTV equation for the specific climate of Johor, Malaysia, and the real-time monitoring of OTTV that helps the energy managers analyze the Thermal Transmittance of Building envelopes in real-time. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The behavior of piles and the reaction of soils in contact with structures are crucial aspects of foundation engineering. Laboratory model tests were investigated to evaluate the enhancement of the subgrade modulus for laterally loaded piles with enlarged heads in clay. These tests compared typical piles with enlarged heads in soft clay, considering factors such as the pile slenderness ratio and geometric configurations. The study was expanded by simulating monopiles with and without head enlargements using the numerical program Plaxis 3D. The results highlight the effectiveness of enlarged-head piles, demonstrating a substantial increase in lateral subgrade reaction with adequate head depth. For piles with Lp/Dp = 24, an enlarged head geometry of Le/Lp = 0.4, Δ De/Dp = 1, and an undrained shear strength Cu = 15, the subgrade modulus improved by 200% compared to typical piles. Additionally, for Lp/Dp = 24 piles, the improvement due to enlargement was 1.3 and 2 times for Cu values of 10 and 15 kPa, respectively. These findings emphasize the advantages of using enlarged heads, especially uniform shapes, which are more practical and effective than tapered shapes. The numerical simulations corroborated the experimental results, providing detailed insights into deformation and bending moment variations that are challenging to measure in laboratory tests. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research investigates the energy absorption from impact forces of steel reinforced concrete using fly ash obtained from agricultural processes, reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, compared to steel reinforcement. The reinforcement pattern involves incorporating GFRP bars into a square grid pattern of 4, 9, and 12 openings within bio-steel concrete with dimensions (W × L × H) of 40 × 40 × 10 cm. The testing is conducted using a Drop Test impact testing machine with a 30 kg hammer head at a velocity of 7 m/s, employing two different hammer head configurations: flat and 45-degree angled, to study energy absorption (Ea), specific energy absorption (Es), and the pattern of deformation resulting from impacts. The study finds that CBRHA-10-fiber A concrete exhibits higher energy absorption and specific energy absorption compared to steel-reinforced (CBRHA-10-steel A) concrete in the same configuration by 18.82% and 26.83%, respectively, in the flat-headed hammer impact configuration. Similarly, in the 45-degree angled hammer head configuration, CBRHA-10-fiber A concrete demonstrates superior energy absorption and specific energy absorption compared to steel reinforcement in the same configuration by 6.10% and 14.92%, respectively. In conclusion, bio-steel reinforced concrete with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GRFP) reinforcement exhibits good load-bearing capacity and suitability as an alternative to steel reinforcement in future applications. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-020 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to develop A Novel Approach to Detect Parking Space Occupancy for Efficient Urban Management utilization and enhance user experience with real-time, accurate data. Methods/Analysis: The proposed system detects the parking space occupancy for efficient urban management by using a Multi-Component Attention Graph Convolutional Neural Network (DPSO-MCAGCNN) and processes data from the PKLot dataset. Pre-processing is performed using the Maximum Correntropy Quaternion Kalman Filter (MCQKF) for normalization. Key features like area, perimeter, and aspect ratio are extracted using the Second-Order Time-Reassigned Multi synchro squeezing Transform (SOTRMT) and analyzed through MCAGCNN. The Leaf-in-Wind Optimization (LWO) technique is incorporated to optimize the MCAGCNN for higher accuracy. Findings: The proposed system achieves significant improvements over existing methods, including 27.84%-29.27% higher accuracy, 25.87%-29.84% improved R², and 16.27%-19.84% reduced Mean Squared Error (MSE). Evaluation metrics such as RMSE, MAE, and MAPE confirm its robust performance. Novelty/Improvement: The integration of LWO into MCAGCNN enhances optimization and precision, surpassing the performance of state-of-the-art methods like EUPE-SVM, RTPM-YOLOv5, and MASP-LSTM, making it an innovative solution for intelligent parking management. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-015 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

On the concrete bridge decks overlaid by HMA, slippage cracks usually appear on the HMA layer because of the presence of waterproofing membranes below the HMA layer and a lack of bonding of the membrane with the PCC underlying layer. The objective of this work is to develop a laboratory-based method for the fabrication of test samples of an HMA layer, waterproofing membrane, and PCC layer system. In addition, a bond strength test procedure was adapted to evaluate the bonding of the three layers assembly at different test temperatures in the laboratory prior to the field application. According to the obtained evaluation results, it was found that the weakest bond in the HMA, waterproofing membrane, and PCC assembly is the bond between the HMA layer and the waterproofing membrane. The bond strength of the assembly is highly affected by increasing temperature, since it lost approximately 75% of its strength when the test temperature increased from 25°C to 50°C. Likewise, as the test temperature increased from 25°C to 60°C, the assembly lost approximately 75% of its strength. Therefore, the bond strength should be evaluated at the expected pavement temperature in the field, specifically at the membrane interface level. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-010 Full Text: PDF
