Abstract

Soft ground improvement to provide stable foundations for infrastructure is national priority for most countries. Weak soil may initiate instability to foundations reducing their lifespan, which necessitates the adoption of a suitable soil stabilization method. Amongst various soil stabilization techniques, using appropriate admixtures is quite popular. The present study aims to investigate the suitability of bagasse ash and stone dust as the admixtures for stabilizing soft clay, in terms of compaction and penetration characteristics. The studies were conducted by means of a series of laboratory experimentations with standard Proctor compaction and CBR tests. From the test results it was observed that adding bagasse ash and stone dust significantly upgraded the compaction and penetration properties, specifically the values of optimum moisture content, maximum dry density and CBR. Comparison of test results with available data on similar experiments conducted by other researchers were also performed. Lastly, a study on the cost effectiveness for transport embankment construction with the treated soils, based on local site conditions in the study area of Assam, India, was carried out. The results are analyzed and interpreted, and the relevant conclusions are drawn therefrom. The limitations and recommendations for future research are also included. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091771 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Biophilic planning is one of the important trends in achieving sustainability and nature conservation, especially in areas that contain natural elements. Since in the case of climate change and urban encroachment on natural habitats, taking care of nature and investing its components properly is a necessity, not a choice. As well as the agreement among many researchers about the social, economic and environmental benefits provided by biophilic planning, which is based mainly on the idea of connecting people with nature. This study aims to provide a guide to planners, urban designers, and decision-makers, including how to deal with residential neighborhoods that contain natural elements such as rivers by depending on a specific methodology based on previous literature and deriving effective indicators in this type of neighborhood. The results of the theoretical framework showed that there are eleven effective indicators, some of which are measured by descriptive methods and some by quantitative methods. These indicators have been applied in one of the neighborhoods of the Iraqi Kufa City overlooking the Euphrates River. The results showed that the study area lacks standards and indicators of biophilic planning. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

It is very important task to estimate the post buckling for structures that have slender elements, since post-buckling state means loss the structures stability related with large displacement and that lead to demolition the structures. On the other hand, in the design and analysis of steel frame, the beam-columns connection is assumed perfect pin or fully rigid, this assumption leads to incorrect estimation of the structural behaviour. Practically, beam-column connection is between these two assumptions and this type of connection is called semi-rigid. This study presents a numerical analysis using finite element method to investigate the effect of semi-rigid connections on post-buckling behaviour of two-dimensional frames with different supporting types and different lateral loading cases. The semi-rigid connections are modelled as rotational spring in linear elastic stage, using COMBIN14 element which has rotational stiffness value.  The numerical results showed that; the effect of changing the beam-column connections from rigid to semi rigid for toggle frame with rotational joint stiffness 25EI/L to 15EI/L and 10EI/L led to decrease the initial peak load of the frames of fixed-fixed supports with percentages 3.36 %, 5.6% and 8.95% respectively as compared with that of the rigid connection frame, While, the frames with fixed-pin and pin-pin supports cases did not affected by this changing. The fixed-fixed support case is more affected by changing the joint stiffness from other cases and the effect of changing the joint stiffness in pin-pin support model is less significant from others. This can be attributed to that, the fixed-fixed supports is restrained in all degree of freedom and will be affected by any rotation and presence the pin in other cases makes the frame less affected by the rotation of semi-rigid connection. The effect of changing the beam-column connection from rigid to semi rigid decreases with presence the lateral load. Thus, the semi-rigid connection should be considered in analysis and design of steel frames to obtain more realistic results.

Abstract

Drought assessment is crucial for effective water resources management in a river basin. Drought frequency has increased worldwide in recent years due to global warming. In this paper, an attempt is made to assess the meteorological drought in the Punpun river basin, India using two globally accepted drought indices namely, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The SPI and SPEI at 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month timescale were obtained to analyze the temporal variability of different drought levels. Correlation analysis of available observed data and gridded data has been carried out and the correlation coefficient was found to be 0.956. Hence gridded rainfall data from the year 1991 to 2020 is used for further analysis. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) used in the calculation of SPEI was computed by the Thornthwaite method. Water deficit was observed throughout as there is a decrease in rainfall and an increase in PET during the selected period. The results show that the period 2004 to 2006 and 2009 to 2010 years are observed as drought periods by both indices for almost all timescale. The intensity and duration of drought have increased after 2004. A negative trend of both the indices have been observed in all seasons on all timescale, which clearly shows a transition from near normal to moderately dry during the selected time period. The highest correlation between both the indices is for the 12-month scale with R² value 0.92 and the RMSE value 0.28. The main outcome of this study is that both SPI and SPEI show a strong correlation on same time scales adopted in this study. The dependency of SPEI on temperature is also observed in this study. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091783 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The current study aimed at predicting standard penetration resistance (N) of soil using particle sizes and Atterberg's limits. The geotechnical database was created subsequent to the field and laboratory testing. The sample collection points were distributed in a mesh grid pattern to have uniform sampling consistency. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were trained on the database to build a knowledge-based understanding of the interrelation of the given soil parameters. To check the efficacy of the model, the validation was carried out by predicting standard penetration resistance (N) for another 30 samples which were not included in the training data (444 samples). The trained ANN model has been found to predict N values in close agreement with the N values measured in the field. The novelty of the research work is the standard penetration prediction employing basic physical properties of soil. This proves the efficacy of the proposed model for the target civil engineering application. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2021-07-01 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Estimation of rainfall quantile is an important step in regional frequency analysis for planning and design of any water resources project. Related evaluations of accuracy and uncertainty help to further assist in enhancing the reliability of design estimates. In this study, therefore, we investigate the accuracy and uncertainty of regional frequency analysis of extreme rainfall computed from genetic algorithm-based clustering. Uncertainty assessment is explored with prediction of quantiles with a new spatial Information Transfer Index (ITI) and Monte Carlo simulation framework. And, accuracy assessment is done with the comparison of regional growth curves to at-site analysis for each homogenous region. Further, uncertainty assessment with the ITI method is compared with Maximum Likelihood estimation (MLE) optimized by a genetic algorithm (GA) to check the suitability of the method. Results obtained suggest the ITI-based uncertainty assessment for regional estimates outperformed those of at-site estimates. The MLE-GA method based on at-site estimates was found to be better than at-site estimates based on L-moments, suggesting the former as a better alternative to compare with regional frequency estimates. Moreover, minimal bias and least deviation of the regional growth curve were obtained in the rainfall regions. The confidence intervals of regional estimates were seen to be well within the bounds of normality assumptions. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091762 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Cork is an ecological, natural, and renewable additive, an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator. All these attributes encourage its use in the building sector. Adding this additive to the Earth leads to a more lightweight composite with better thermal performance than the Earth alone. Unfortunately, the mechanical performance of this composite is degraded significantly, limiting its use in construction applications. The authors propose in this study to stabilize the clay-cork composite using natural stabilizers. A chemical stabilization was tested using local quick-lime, in addition to a physical stabilization using natural sheep-wool fibers. The primary purpose is to propose eco-friendly construction material with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties and the lowest environmental impact based on local and ecological raw materials to encourage more sustainable and low-energy constructions. First, physicochemical and mineralogical characterization of used clay was investigated. Then, an experimental investigation was conducted to identify the lime content that allows the optimal stabilization for the used clay. In this context, many different specimens of Bensmim soil stabilized with lime at six many contents 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 70% were prepared and tested. The obtained results showed that the optimal lime content for the better stabilization of the used soil is about 30%. Next, an experimental study of thermomechanical properties was conducted on unfired clay bricks mixed with expended cork granules and stabilized by the addition of variable proportions of quick-lime 0, 10 and 30% and sheep-wool fibers 0, 1, and 2%. The mechanical performance of the specimens was investigated in terms of compressive and flexural strengths. At the same time, thermal quality was qualified through evaluating thermal conductivity using the steady-state Asymmetrical Hot Plate test method. The very encouraging experimental findings showed that using lime and sheep-wool fibers at the studied addition content resulted in lightweight composites with lower thermal conductivity and higher compressive and flexural strength than reference samples. The highest thermomechanical performances are obtained with clay-cork blocks reinforced with 30% lime content and 2% sheep-wool fibers. This block recorded values of 583 kg/m3, 0.155 W/m/K, 1.55 MPa, and 3.91 MPa, for bulk density, thermal conductivity, flexural and compressive strength respectively, compared to 765 kg/m3, 0.238 W/m/K, 0.96 MPa and 2.29 MPa for control samples. New material presents lightweight material for both improved thermal and mechanical qualities encouraging its use in building applications. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091778 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Project schedule management is an important part of prefabricated construction project management. General contracting is an effective way to promote the development of prefabricated construction. However, at present, from the perspective of general contracting, the risk factors affecting the project progress of prefabricated buildings are not clear, and the relationship between risks is not known. The purpose of this study is to study the composition, hierarchical structure and transmission path of schedule risk factors of prefabricated construction in general contracting mode, so as to help the general contractor formulate effective schedule risk avoidance measures. This study uses grounded theory to obtain 22 risk factors that affect the progress of assembly building projects, and the data are from expert interviews. Using Delphi method and interpretative structural modeling (ISM), these factors are divided into seven levels, and the ISM model of schedule risk factors is constructed. The research shows that there are 60 progress risk transmission paths, and four progress risk transfer chains are obtained. This paper also further analyzes and puts forward suggestions to avoid risks for each level. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The performance of the pavement in terms of vehicle safety and tire wear is affected by the friction behavior of the pavement. To highlight the main characteristics that affect the production of better friction resistance of the pavement surface in this work. The micro-texture and macro-texture of the asphalt surface of Baghdad Airport highway were studied using two methods: (sand patch method and the British pendulum test). The sand patch was examined by drawing sand grains of a specific volume, while the micro-texture was analyzed using a BPT under dry and wet surface conditions. All data obtained from the two examinations were analyzed and modelled statistically using SPSS 25 software. Results show that skid resistance of pavement surface increase with the increase of MTD, this increase may be due to the increase of coarse aggregate which lead to increase the roughness of the pavement surface, this increase ranged between (96 - 91%). MTD decreases with the increase of traffic flow due to the friction between the road surface and the vehicle tires leading to increase of smoothness of the road surface. This is mean that MTD is highly affected by the traffic flow and this effectiveness ranged between (84-97%). Skid resistance also is highly affected by the traffic flow with an effectiveness ranged between (81-94%) for both pavement conditions. According to the regression analysis for friction and other parameters, it can be concluded that surface friction values are highly affected by cumulative traffic (asphalt mix deterioration) over time. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091775 Full Text: PDF
