Abstract

Corrosion of steel in concrete elements is a major issue in concrete structures. In order to overcome this matter, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement is being used in concrete members from almost 20 years ago. Although it has been used and developed in recent years, there are still some uncertainties for the application of FRP reinforcement, especially in concrete columns.  Most codes such as ACI, CSA, JSCE & etc. neglects the effect of these reinforcements or they do not permit them in compressive concrete elements. In this essay, it has been shown that these rebar can contribute significantly in compressive strength of concrete columns if the column confinement is provided sufficiently. In order to achieve the required confinement to reach a sharp contribution of GFRP longitudinal rebar in concrete columns, the spiral of FRP rebar with small pitches around longitudinal rebar is taken into account. This leads to higher strains of concrete which can result in a higher contribution of FRP longitudinal rebar. Foremost, equations related to the compressive strength of concrete columns considering the influence of spiral confinement will be carried out. Then, a parametric study will be performed, and the effects of pitch, concrete strength, column diameter, the quantity of longitudinal rebar and concrete cover will be investigated.

Abstract

Recycling can be considered as one of the measures of sustainable methods. The physical traits of the asphalt mixture under the influence of accelerated aging (Long and Short–Term) for asphalt concrete were assessed. Asphalt cement (40-50), aggregate with 12.5 mm nominal extreme size and limestone dust as filler of the mineral was used for the preparation of asphalt concrete mixture. At the optimum content of the asphalt and asphalt of 0.5 percent below and above the optimum value, specimens were prepared by using Marshall Method. Two types of polymers as recycling agents were used (Polyethylene of Low Density and Crumb Rubber) with (0.5, 1 and 1.5) % by weight of the binder. The indirect tensile test was used for the mixtures at 25 ºC and double punch test at 60 ºC. It was determined that the use of (asphalt binder mixed with rubber) as the agent of recycling showed improved performance than the other kind of recycling agent. The indirect tensile strength at 40 ˚C of the recycled mixture was higher than that the control mixture. Punching shear strength was decreased by 84 %, temperature susceptibility was decreased by 69.6 % and the resistance to moisture damage increases by3.3 % at optimum asphalt content.

Abstract

Pavement structures are sometimes subject to repeated dimensional variations of thermal origin generating mechanical stresses that may be detrimental to their durability. Among the most frequently observed degradations, by these stress, are the transverse cracks whose frequency, depth, and variable openings reduce the ride comfort. In this context, where such solicitations are preponderant and the strong variation is noticed on the surface, an analytical approach for calculating the surface temperature of a flexible pavement has been proposed. This approach is able to deal with the transient thermal problem including the phenomenon of ambient temperature and the influx of solar flux specifically for arid regions where the sky is often clear. This approach is adopted because it proposes a simplified calculation of the surface temperature. The model was built on a database measured on the experimental pavement of the laboratory of Egletons GEMH (France), using the calculation code Eureqa formulate. Although neglected in the domain's literature, the meteorological parameters (air temperature and solar flux) are taken into consideration in the analytic function because they give good prediction. The model has practical meanings to predicting the maximum, minimum, and amplitude of the pavement surface temperature. Hence, a good surface temperature assessment provides a key factor for further thermal cracking modeling.

Abstract

Flood flows have the potential to cause substantial damage to infrastructure, mankind, livestock and agricultural land which all stacks up to greatly affect the financial condition of the region. During 2010 Pakistan floods, more than two million houses were damaged partly or totally [1]. To minimize these types of destructions, inland vegetation can be considered a natural barrier to dissipate the energy of flood flow and limits widespread inundation. This study involves volume of fluid (VOF) modelling approach to figure out the role of vegetation of finite width in energy reduction of flood flow, in front of houses, against: vegetation of varying Aspect Ratio (A/R width-length ratio) and distance between vegetation & houses (Lr). Channel domain was built in ANSYS workbench toolkit and meshing was done in meshing building toolkit. For the postprocessing and simulation, FLUENT was used. Various contour plots & profiles of cross stream-wise velocities and water level measurements are presented in this paper. The simulation results of cross stream-wise velocities and water level measurements were identical with experimental data. At vegetation upstream and downstream, velocity reduction observed in higher A/R (2.40) compared to vegetation of A/R-1. Whereas, outside the vegetation and near the walls of channel domain flow velocities were high. The water level was raised on the upstream side of the vegetation due to resistance offered by vegetation. On the upstream side of vegetation, the rise in backwater depth increased by increasing A/R. Contrarily, on the downstream side of vegetation, an undular hydraulic jump was observed in between vegetation and a house. By increasing A/R, the energy loss increases under constant vegetation conditions (G/d = 0.24, Fro = 0.70; G = spacing of each cylinder in cross-stream direction and d= diameter of cylinder and Fro = initial Froude number) and increase in house distance from 1W to 2W, the energy reduction increased from 2.40% to 3.15% which was further increased to 5.04% for another 5W increase in house distance, where W is the vegetation width. Simulation results also shown that with increasing Froude no from 0.60 to 0.70 water level depth has also an incremental pattern which ultimately results in increase in energy dissipation along the varying building distance (1W, 2W & 5W).  Thus, to minimize the structural damage, a structure must be located at a safe distance away from the vegetation where flow becomes sub-critical.

Abstract

This paper examines the huge destruction that has taken place in some cities of Iraq due to the terrorist acts in recent years that led to the destruction of many buildings. It examines some of the factors that encourage the use of residues of these buildings in reconstruction processes, especially the sustainability factor, so that some residues of these buildings can be used as substitutes for natural building materials and find a difference in terms of energy consumption in the case of using natural building materials and again in the case of using the proposed alternatives. In this study, three alternatives were used: 10% recycled fine aggregates (RFA), 100% RFA, and crushed clay brick aggregate (CCBA) to produce recycled coarse aggregates. The results obtained through the use of building information modeling (BIM) technology were compared with the actual consumption of the building in the case of reconstruction using natural building materials. The simulation results were comparable to real data. They were analyzed in terms of the energy consumption life cycle and annual carbon emissions for each alternative. The best alternative was selected from the results obtained from BIM. The best alternative was found in the use of CCBA in the production of concrete roofs and floors. His final model is that the energy consumption was five times lower than the original unit, while the results of carbon emissions were equal as for the electricity consumption decreased from 23,500 kW/h to less than 23,000 kW/h.

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of optimal control of the process of thermal conductivity of a homogeneous disk (ball). An optimization problem is posed for a one-dimensional parabolic type equation with a mixed-type boundary condition. The goal of the control is to bring the temperature distribution in the disk (ball) to a given distribution in a finite time. To solve this problem, an algorithm is proposed that is based on the gradient method. The object of the study is the optimal control problem for a parabolic boundary value problem. Using the discretization of the original continuous differential problem, difference equations are obtained for which a numerical solution algorithm is proposed. Difference approximation of a differential problem is performed using an implicit scheme, which allows to increase the speed of calculations and provides the specified accuracy of calculation for a smaller number of iterations. An approximate solution of a parabolic equation is constructed using the one-dimensional sweep method. Using differentiation of the functional, an expression for the gradient of the objective functional is obtained. In this paper, it was possible to reduce the multidimensional heat conduction problem to a one-dimensional one, due to the assumption that the desired solution is symmetric. A formula is obtained for calculating the variation of a quadratic functional that characterizes the deviation of the current temperature distribution from the given one. The flowcharts and implementations of the algorithm are presented in the form of Matlab scripts, which clearly demonstrate the process of thermal conductivity and show the computation and application of optimal control in dynamics.

Abstract

The article presents the results of laboratory studies of pile model foundations in order to determine the effectiveness of the method proposed by the authors for its reconstruction in pile-tile foundation with preliminary pressing and cementation of the soil base. The studies were carried out on small-scale wooden models of foundations in the conditions of a soil paste. The models of foundations were subjected to vertical static loading in a laboratory tray with a diametrical transparent wall. The program of experiments was provided for determination of precipitation of the models: pile foundations without strengthening, with strengthening in the form of reconstruction from the combined foundation and with strengthening in the form of reconstruction into the combined foundation with preliminary stress of the soil base in the span part. Vertical and horizontal movements in the soil mass were also recorded by a contactless method (PIV) in every stage of model loading. On the basis of experimental measurements digital processing of data of sediments and displacements is performed, for drawing plots of sediments, epures and isolines of displacements in the soil base. The main result of the research is confirmation of the high efficiency of the proposed method of strengthening pile foundations due to the maximum use of pre-pressed soil base resources in spans between pile rows. It has been found that compression (pre-stress) significantly reduces soil deformability and allows to include it in operation without additional deformations. The use of pre-compaction reduced the precipitation of the model combined foundation by almost 40%, relative to the combined without compaction. The results of the research open the possibility to develop new methods of strengthening pile foundations from the point of view of effective inclusion in the operation of the soil base in the span part, due to its preliminary tension.

Abstract

The present study was conducted to analyze the suitability of groundwater and surface water of the Indus Delta, Pakistan for domestic and irrigation purposes based on the concentrations of arsenic (As), total dissolved solids (TDS), and chloride (Cl). Around 180 georeferenced groundwater and 50 surface water samples randomly collected were analyzed and mapped spatially using ArcGIS 10.5 software. The results were compared with their respective WHO and FAO guidelines. The analysis revealed that as in groundwater and surface water samples ranged up to 200, and 25 µg/L respectively. Similarly, the TDS in the groundwater and surface water ranged from 203 to 17, 664 mg/L and 378 to 38,272 mg/L respectively. The Cl in groundwater and surface water varied between 131 and 6,275 mg/L and 440 to 17,406 mg/L respectively. Overall, about 18%, 87% and 94% of the groundwater, and 10%, 92% and 56% of the surface waters possessed higher concentrations of As, TDS, and Cl, respectively. The higher levels of Cl in the samples are attributed to subsurface seawater intrusion in the delta. Analysis results and GIS mapping of water quality parameters revealed that in most of the delta, the quality of water was not suitable for drinking and agricultural purposes, thus should be properly treated before its use.

Abstract

The combination of industrial and domestic wastewater in municipal WWTPs (waste water treatment plants) may be economically profitable, but it increases the difficulty of treatment, and also has some detrimental effects on the biomass and causes a low-quality final effluent. The present study evaluates the treatment process both in the presence and absence of heavy metals using ASM3 (activated sludge model no.3) so as to improve the model by means of incorporating other novel inhibitory kinetic and settler models. The results reveal that the presence of heavy metal, a case study for copper and cadmium at a concentration of 0.7 mgL−1 in a biological treatment system has a negative effect on heterotrophic bacteria concentration by 25.00 %, and 8.76 % respectively. Meanwhile, there are no important changes in COD (chemical oxygen demand), SS (total suspended solids) and TN (total nitrogen) in the final effluent in the conventional system. However, all these parameters are acceptable and consistent with EU Commission Directives. The results indicate that ASM3 can predict and provide an opportunity of the operation for an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant that receives the effluent from an industrial plant.

Abstract

Mean time to failure of modern machinery and equipment, their individual parts and components can be calculated over the years. Methods for determining the optimal frequency of maintenance and repair, based on the collection and processing of information about the reliability of industrial facilities, during their testing in laboratories and at special sites, as well as through long, operational tests require considerable time and become expensive. The purpose of this work is to develop methods for processing information about the reliability of equipment in automated systems for maintenance and repair, which will reduce the time to collect information on equipment failures and improve the cost-effectiveness of maintenance and repair. Small, multiple-censored right-side samples of equipment operating time for failure are formed as a result of failure data collection in an automated system for equipment maintenance and repair. Calculation of reliability indicators for such samples is performed using the maximum likelihood estimation method. The article presents experimental studies of the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameter of the exponential distribution law for small, multiple right-censored samples. The studies were carried out by computer modeling of censored samples, similar to samples that are formed when monitoring equipment during operation. Methods of simulation modeling of random processes on a computer and methods of regression analysis were used. Analysis show that most of the maximum likelihood estimates obtained from small, multiple-censored right-side samples have significant deviations from the true values. A technique for improving the accuracy of maximum likelihood estimates is proposed. The scientific novelty is regression models are constructed that establish the relationship between the deviation of the maximum likelihood estimate from the true value and the parameters characterizing the sample structure. These models calculate and introduce corrections to maximum likelihood estimates. The use of the developed regression models will reduce the time to collect information about the reliability of the equipment, while maintaining the reliability of the results.
