Abstract:
The objective of any construction work is defined as the optimal use of resources, it is focused on building efficiency, so as to ensure quality in reaching the minimum construction costs and ensure environmental protection, safety at work. The building production is affected by many factors. With some we can count, but we cannot predict some for certain in advance. The essential precondition for successful implementation of a construction is thorough and timely preparation of pre-production and production engineering (technology designing), which provides for the effective implementation of the works.

Abstract:
Adding the glass will make the cohesion property of HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt) worse. we often improve the antistrip performance of conventional HMA by the means of adding hydrated lime. In this article, we compare the effect of two different patterns of adding hydrated lime. The test reveals that: replacing the mineral power with hydrated lime can improve the overall performance of mix; With respect to mixing the hydrated lime with asphalt in advance, the water stability of concrete increase more, if the mineral power is replaced by equivalent; Although it can’t do a favor to the mix’s low temperature performance, mixing the hydrated lime with asphalt in advance can significantly improve the high temperature performance, it can be used in high temperature region while it rains rarely.

Abstract:
Ready mixed concrete (RMC) is the primary material required for buildings and public infrastructure work. RMC is produced to meet customer’s demands and its deliveries must conform to construction site and technological operating constraints – the material cannot be prepared in advance and stored. Concrete production scheduling and truck dispatching is mainly handled manually by experienced RMC batching plants staff. The paper presents simulation model which can be used to asses alternative strategies for truck allocation and production planning in stochastic environment. The models’ operation is illustrated by a notional case – the model prompted solutions of improved transhipment efficiency and reduced plant operating cost under assumed operating constraints.

Abstract:
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world and is responsible for 7% of global carbon emissions. It is inherently brittle, and it requires frequent repair or replacement which is economically expensive and further generates large volumes of carbon dioxide. Current methods of repair by agents such as mortar, epoxies, and bacteria result in structures with reduced strength and resiliency. Recent advances in the design of structural composites often mimic natural microstructures. Specifically, the structure of abalone nacre with its high stiffness, tensile strength, and toughness is a source of inspiration from the process of evolution. The inspiration from nacre can lead to design of a new class of architected structural materials with superb mechanical properties. This body of work first presents a method to reinforce concrete with an architected polymer phase. Second is presented how a ubiquitous enzyme, Carbonic anhydrase (CA), can be used to repair and strengthen cracked concrete, and how it can be used as an additive in fresh concrete. The first study presents an experimental and computational study on a set of bioinspired architected composites created using a cement mortar cast with brick-and-mortar and auxetic polymer phases. The impact of this unit-cell architected polymer phase on the flexural and compressive strengths, resilience, and toughness is studied as a function of microstructural geometry. All mechanical properties of the architected composite samples are found to be greater than those of control samples due to prevention of localized deformation and failure, resulting in higher strength. The microstructurally designed composites showed more layer shear sliding during fracture, whereas the control samples showed more diagonal shear failure. After initial cracking, the microstructurally designed composites gradually deformed plastically due to interlocking elements and achieved high stresses and strains before failure. Results also show that microstructurally designed composites with the architected polymer phase outperform control samples with equal volume fraction of a randomly oriented polymer fiber phase. Computational studies of the proposed unit cells are also performed, and the results suggest that the orientation of cells during loading is critical to achieve maximum performance of a cementitious composite. The implications of these results are immense for future development of high performing construction materials. The second study outlines methods for repair of concrete and lays the groundwork to develop a self-healing concrete that uses trace amounts of the CA enzyme. The CA catalyzes the reaction between calcium ions and carbon dioxide to create calcium carbonate that naturally incorporates into concrete structures with similar thermomechanical properties as concrete. The reaction is safe, actively consumes carbon dioxide, generates low amounts of heat, and avoids using unhealthy reagents, resulting in a strong structure. This repair method results in concrete samples with similar strength and water permeability as the intact materials. These results offer an inexpensive, safe, and efficient method to create self-healing concrete structures. The science underlying the creation of self-healing concrete is described, producing a material intrinsically identical to the original using the CA enzyme. Using this strategy, a preliminary self-healing concrete mix is able to self-repair fractures via hydration. This body of work addresses a major issue: Is there an efficient and ecological repair for decaying concrete infrastructure? These methods propose alternative reinforcement, alleviates high monetary and energy costs associated with concrete replacement, and consume the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

Abstract:
Practical applications for the use of composite materials for retrofitting of reinforced concrete structural members of buildings and bridges were investigated in this research project. Carbon and glass advanced composite materials (CACM and GACM) saturated in an epoxy resin matrix were used to enhance their structural performance. The following experimental work, supported by analytical work, was carried out in the investigation: 1. Use of Advanced Composite Materials (ACM) in bridge girders to increase the service load capacity. Eleven T-shape simply supported beams, representing half scale bridge girders, were tested under repeated cyclic and monotonic load conditions. CACM laminates bonded to the soffit of the beams were used to increase the service live load carrying capacity. In some test units the laminates were cut-off whereas in others the laminates were bonded to the whole span of the beam, except at the supports. Additional GACM U-strips were applied to the sides of some beams to improve the bond performance of the longitudinal laminate and to provide additional shear stiffness and strength. The side U-strips were anchored to the beam with glass fibre filaments. One beam was subjected to one million cycles in the service load range to study the fatigue behaviour of the retrofit scheme. The fatigue test showed the excellent behaviour that can be expected from well-detailed retrofit schemes incorporating carbon and glass fibre laminates. Design recommendations are proposed based on the results obtained from the tests and from analytical work. 2. Experimental work was conducted to investigate the seismic response of ACM-strengthened/retrofitted beams that present shear and bar curtailment deficiencies. Two full-scale T-section cantilever beams were built and tested under reversed cyclic loading. One unit was tested in its "as-built" condition until a flexure-shear failure developed at the curtailment point of the negative longitudinal reinforcement. The test unit was then repaired by applying GACM laminates across the top of the-slab and to the sides of the beam in the damage region. It was again re-tested under reversed cyclic loading. The other unit was retrofitted before testing in the same manner as the previous damaged unit and then subjected to reverse cyclic loading. A seismic assessment on the prototype unit was proposed to provide a simple evaluation on the beam with deficiencies in flexural design of T-beam, shear, and longitudinal bar curtailment. The tests show that the presence of a GACM laminate can successfully correct the deficiency by relocating the negative plastic hinges to occur in the beam at the column face. To ensure the adequate seismic performance of the retrofit scheme, shear deformations in the beams must be kept to a minimum to reduce the kinking effect and potential de bonding of the ACM laminate. 3. The analytical and experimental study proposed a method for evaluating the short-term axial load strength of rectangular and square reinforced compression members confined with an ACM jacket and steel hoops. The results of this study can also be applied to the use of ACMs for column seismic retrofitting. Three 300 mm square and three 300 mm by 450 mm short reinforced columns were concentrically loaded first in tension, then in compression to failure. Either two or six layers of GACM jackets were applied to four of these columns. Two control units were tested in order to evaluate the enhancement of the axial load carrying capacity and to observe whether the ACM jackets were able to preclude premature buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement in the wrapped columns. The results clearly showed the efficiency of the jackets in enhancing the ultimate strain and strength of the columns. The jackets were also very effective in preventing longitudinal bar buckling from occurring. Designed equations in closed form were derived based on the calibration of the analytical model to provide a design of ACM-wrapped reinforced concrete column subjected to the concentric axial load.

Cette thèse de doctorat traite du renforcement en cisaillement de structures en béton armé (BA) à l’aide de matériaux composites en polymère renforcé de fibres (PRF). De nombreuses problématiques de recherche reliées au renforcement en cisaillement n’ont pas encore été résolues à ce jour. L’objectif principal du présent est d’étudier expérimentalement et analytiquement les méthodes de renforcement en cisaillement de poutres de section en Té en BA à l’aide de PRF. Le programme considère plusieurs aspects majeurs reliés au renforcement en cisaillement de poutres en BA à l’aide de tissus et de tiges en PRF, comme suit: 1) Renforcement en cisaillement de poutres en BA à l’aide de PRF collé en surface (EB: Externally Bonded) – Facteurs d’influence et modèle conceptuel de délamination: Sur la base des résultats obtenus, une nouvelle approche de design est proposée pour le calcul de la contribution au cisaillement du PRF tenant compte de l’influence de l’acier transversal (entre autres) sur la contribution du PRF à la résistance globale. Le modèle proposé montre une meilleure corrélation avec les résultats expérimentaux en comparaison aux codes et guides en vigueur; 2) Performance de systèmes d’ancrage pour poutres en BA renforcées à l’aide de PRF collé en surface: Les résultats de cette étude révèlent que les spécimens renforcés par la méthode PRF EB avec des ancrages adéquatement conçus peuvent atteindre des contributions à la résistance en cisaillement supérieures á ceux sans système d’ancrage et ceux renforcés à laide de la méthode NSMR (Near-Surface Mounted Rebar) ; 3) Renforcement en cisaillement de poutres en BA à l’aide de PRF EB: Effet du rapport largeur sur espacement des bandes en PRF : Investigation expérimentale et analytique investigation avec emphase sur l’effet du rapport largeur sur espacement des bandes en PRF sur la contribution du PRF (Vf) dans les poutres renforcées en cisaillement à l’aide de bandes en PRF EB est menée ; et 4) Comportement des poutres en BA renforcées à l’aide de la méthode ETS (embedded through-section) : Une méthode novatrice développée pour le renforcement en cisaillement est explorée. Cette méthode est très prometteuse pour le renforcement en cisaillement. Dans cette méthode, des tiges en PRF sont insérées et scellées à l’aide d’époxy dans des trous préalablement percés à travers l’âme de la poutre en BA. Les résultats d’essais ont confirmé la faisabilité de la méthode ETS, mais aussi révélé que la performance des poutres renforcées à l’aide de cette méthode est substantiellement supérieure à celle des poutres renforcées à l’aide de PRF EB et NSMR.

Abstract:
Major advances have been observed during the last two decades in the field of seismic engineering with further refinements of performance-based seismic design philosophies and the subsequent definition of corresponding compliance criteria. Following the globally recognized expectation and ideal aim to provide a modern society with high (seismic) performance structures able to sustain a design level earthquake with limited or negligible damage, alternative solutions have been developed for high-performance, seismic resisting systems. In the last two decades, an alternative approach in seismic design has been introduced for precast concrete buildings in seismic regions with the introduction of “dry” jointed ductile systems also called “hybrid” systems based on unbonded post-tensioned rocking connections. As a result structural systems with high seismic performance capabilities can be implemented, with the unique capability to undergo inelastic displacement similar to their traditional monolithic counterparts, while limiting the damage to the structural system and assuring full re-centring capabilities (negligible residual or permanent deformations). The continuous and rapid development of jointed ductile connections for seismic resisting systems has resulted in the validation of a wide range of alternative arrangements, encompassed under the general umbrella of “hybrid” systems. This research provides a comprehensive experimental and analytical investigations of 2- and 3-Dimensional, 2/3 scaled, exterior beam-column joints subjected both uni and bi-directional (four clove) quasic-static loading protocols into the behaviour, modelling, design and feasibility of new arrangements for “dry” jointed ductile systems for use in regions of high seismicity. In order to further emphasize the enhanced performance of these systems, a comparison with the experimental response and observed damage of 2-D and 3-D monolithic beam-column benchmark specimens is presented. However, after a lot of attention given to the behaviour of the skeleton structure, more recently the focus of research in Earthquake Engineering has concentrated on the behaviour of the floor system within the overall 3D behaviour of the building and the effects of beam elongation. The effects of beam elongation in precast frame systems have been demonstrated to be a potential source of un-expected damage, unless adequate detailing is provided in order to account for displacement incompatibilities between the lateral resisting systems and the floor. Two contributions to beam elongation are typically recognized: a) the material contribution due to the cumulative residual strain within the steel, and b) the geometrical contribution due to the presence of a neutral axis and actual depth of the beam. Regarding jointed ductile connections with re-centering characteristics, the extent of beam elongation is significantly reduced, being limited to solely the geometrical contribution. Furthermore, such effects could be minimized when a reduced depth of the beam is adopted due to the use of internal prestressing or external post-tensioning. However, damage to precast floor systems, resulting from a geometric elongation of the beam, has yet to be addressed in detail. In order to emphasize the enhanced performance in controlling and minimizing the damage of the structural elements via the use of the proposed advanced hybrid solutions, this research presents via experimental and analytical validation of two alternative and innovative solutions to reduce the damage to the floor using 2 and 3-Dimensional, 2/3 scaled, exterior beam-column joints. The first approach consists of using standard precast rocking/dissipative frame connections (herein referred to as “gapping”) in combination with an articulated or “jointed” floor. This system uses mechanical devices to connect the floor and the lateral beams which can accommodate the displacement incompatibilities in the connection. The second approach to reduce the floor damage investigates the implementation of a “non-gapping” connection, also called non-tearing-floor connection, using a top hinge at the beam-column interface, while still relying on more traditional floor-to-frame connections (i.e. topping and continuous starter bars). Additionally, further refinements and constructability issues for the non gapping connection are investigated under the experimental and analytical validation of a major 2-Dimensional, 2/3 scaled, two-story one-bay frame using non-tearing floor connections. Based on the non-tearing floor connections, a series of parametric analysis for beam-column joints and frames are carried out. Furthermore, the analysis and design of two prototype frames using different solutions is presented. The frames are subjected to cyclic adaptive pushover and inelastic time history analysis in order to investigate analytically the response characteristics of hybrid frames using non-tearing connections, as well as how the beam growth affects the frame response under earthquake loading. Computational models for hybrid PRESSS frames and a conventional reinforced concrete frames are developed and compared with the ones using non-tearing connections.

Abstract:
Concrete is still the most widely used construction material of modern times. In very recent years attempts have been made by using steel fibre reinforcement to improve the inherent weaknesses that concrete possesses such as its low tensile strength and the tendency to shrink on drying and to creep under stress. In this context, the use of steel fibre reinforcement together with high strength concrete corbel joints has been investigated. This study came after fibre reinforced concrete had received wide recognition for its crack and deformation control, ductility and energy absorption characteristics. In the present study, the fracture behaviour and deformation characteristics of plain conventionally reinforced concrete corbels with and without steel fibre reinforcement has been investigated. The different types of steel fibres used and other experimental materials are described in chapter 3, whereas chapter 2 gives a review of the old and current design approaches used for concrete corbel design. In chapter 4 the deformation, cracking and ultimate strength of plain high strength concrete corbels has been studied with different cube strength ranged between 25 to 90 N/mm2. In chapter 5 a proposed theory to predict the ultimate strength of high and normal strength concrete corbels, conventionally reinforced, has been derived. The influence of steel fibre reinforcement on the performance of conventionally reinforced concrete corbels has been studied in chapter 6. Melt extract steel fibres were used in the majority of the corbels together with other types such as crimped, hooked and plastic fibres (polypropylene). In the same chapter 6, the theory has been extended to account for the strength gained by fibre addition. The effect of steel fibre reinforcement on the shear transfer strength has been studied in chapter 7. The theory proposed in chapter 5 has been further extended to predict the shear strength of 'push-off' type of specimens of plain and fibre reinforced concrete, with conventional steel reinforcement.

Abstract:
Imagined connections between a shadowy Rum in the west and Jawa in the east took concrete political form only in the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Aceh and other Southeast Asian states acknowledged the Ottoman ruler as their lord and Caliph. Scholarly and public recognition of these exceptional moments, and of the prominence of the Ottoman Caliph for Southeast Asian Muslims, was long delayed. This chapter emphasises the process by which Aceh's submission to Ottoman sovereignty in the 1560s was remembered in Aceh, and the means by which Ottoman documentation of it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century to be used to evade the Dutch colonial advance. It also traces the historiography of Turkey–Aceh relations down to the recent advances in Ottoman documentation through the British Academy project.

Abstract:
This Chapter explores the reasons for and provides a range of ways for faculty members, staff and administrators to build a bridge that will encourage and help a higher number of at-risk, underrepresented and female students matriculate directly into the MBA program upon completion of an undergraduate degree. First, the chapter will provide data driven reasons why it is in the best interest of at-risk, underrepresented minority and female students to pursue a graduate degree. Second, it will provide concrete and proven examples of how to help these student's move directly from undergraduate degrees into the MBA program. The examples of how to encourage this direct pathway fall into three categories: faculty focus, curriculum design and university-wide systems.

Classical building materials are widely used in Civil Engineering projects. Many ancient generations used fire clay and stone as building blocks. The most common building materials today include stones, concrete, plastics, bitumen, glass, wood, metals, bricks, polymers, tiles and heat resisting materials. Current research work has come up with the considerable improvement in the natural characteristics of these materials. Glasses are available in more variety as they were 50 years ago. Similarly, concrete is now available in ultra-high strengths and even blast resistant form. Recently, use of nano-technology has emerged as a rapidly growing field; success of which is also highly dependent on the basic understanding of classical building materials. Advance research work including implementation of nanotechnology may come up with further improvements in the physical and chemical properties of these materials. This chapter would focus on classical materials in detail covering their physical and chemical characteristics, usages as well as economical suitability.

Abstract:
In spite of the significant policy initiatives undertaken by the Barack Obama administration to “normalize” U.S. relations with Cuba, serious barriers and impediments lie ahead. This chapter investigates the daunting policy challenges that face the United States and Cuba in their effort to advance their bilateral diplomatic and economic affairs, owing largely to the draconian conditionality codified in the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996 (Helms–Burton Act). Given the highly partisan and divided nature of executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government, it remains uncertain as to whether Congress will allow progress in the normalization process to move beyond the limits of executive action. The chapter identifies and details the concrete steps that must be undertaken by the Congress to dismantle Helms-Burton, and under what conditions that might occur.

Abstract:
This chapter compares how several countries respond to recommendations by monitors in the long run, and whether the overall quality of elections improves throughout multiple monitored elections. Most monitoring efforts aim not simply to deter overt cheating in a single round of elections, but to bring changes in the long run. This is one reason many organizations invest considerable time on the ground. More than half of monitored elections have at least one pre-election visit by an organizational delegation, and in about 40 percent of elections at least one organization arrived a month or more in advance. Most importantly, international election monitors usually include many recommendations in their reports. These recommendations call attention to current problems in the legal and administrative framework for elections and often make concrete suggestions about how to address them.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Wandoo B is a concrete Gravity Base Structure (GBS) and is the main production facility for the Wandoo field offshore NW Australia. It was installed in 1997 with a design life of 20 years. The structural assessments discussed in this paper are part of a comprehensive life extension project encompassing wells, subsea systems, marine and safety systems, topsides facilities and structures to demonstrate fitness for service through the end of field life (EOFL). The challenge was to demonstrate compliance efficiently and effectively for a large structure with a range of materials (steel, reinforced concrete (RC)) and operations supported (oil storage, drilling, production) under increased loading criteria compared to the original design. There is comprehensive industry guidance for assessing existing steel jacket structures, but far less for a concrete GBS such as Wandoo B. Demonstrating compliance required a combination of computer model results, project-specific tools to check reinforced concrete sections, and engineering judgement to define how much damage constitutes failure. A number of global and local structural models were developed to assess the linear and nonlinear performance of the reinforced concrete and steel structure. A phased approach was employed using basic, conservative approaches in initial phases to demonstrate code compliance, and progressing to more advanced, less conservative approaches for those components under higher stress. Developing models that more accurately simulate the behavior of the different structural components and materials was a large part of the project scope, particularly for the nonlinear behavior of the reinforced concrete and the interface connections between the steel and reinforced concrete structures. It was inefficient to develop a detailed steel and reinforced concrete solid model of the large GBS shafts and base, so an equivalent shell model was developed and tested to determine the global behavior and onset of damage. This equivalent model aimed to predict behavior accurately for metocean and seismic loads under material tension and compression. Local detailed models were then developed including a constitutive model of reinforced concrete and used to define the extent of the damage and predict where failure would occur.

Abstract:
For the continuous improvement of nuclear power plants safety standards, the actual requirements of the plant’s long service life, and the diversification of the plant site conditions, the durability design of nuclear building concrete structure has attracted widespread attention gradually. ACP1000, the third generation class nuclear power plant, is developed by China independently, and it may locate in different site conditions. Taking an ACP1000 nuclear power plant under construction as an example, this paper provides the technical requirements of concrete and concrete raw materials used in nuclear building. And by comparing with AP1000, the third generation class nuclear power plant imported from the United States, the advance and reasonableness of technical requirements of concrete and concrete raw materials used in nuclear building are provided further evidence.

Full text
Abstract:
Terminal ballistics of concrete is of extreme importance to the military and civil communities. Over the past few decades, ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) has been developed for various applications in the design of protective structures because UHPC has an enhanced ballistic resistance over conventional strength concrete. Developing predictive numerical models of UHPC subjected to penetration is critical in understanding the material's enhanced performance. This study employs the advanced fundamental concrete (AFC) model, and it runs inside the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM)‐based code known as the nonlinear meshfree analysis program (NMAP). NMAP is advantageous for modeling impact and penetration problems that exhibit extreme deformation and material fragmentation. A comprehensive experimental study was conducted to characterize the UHPC. The investigation consisted of fracture toughness testing, the utilization of nondestructive microcomputed tomography analysis, and projectile penetration shots on the UHPC targets. To improve the accuracy of the model, a new scaled damage evolution law (SDEL) is employed within the microcrack informed damage model. During the homogenized macroscopic calculation, the corresponding microscopic cell needs to be dimensionally equivalent to the mesh dimension when the partial differential equation becomes ill posed and strain softening ensues. Results of numerical investigations will be compared with results of penetration experiments.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent advances in visual sensing technology have gained much attention in the field of bridge inspection and management. Coupled with advanced robotic systems, state-of-the-art visual sensors can be used to obtain accurate documentation of bridges without the need for any special equipment or traffic closure. The captured visual sensor data can be post-processed to gather meaningful information for the bridge structures and hence to support bridge inspection and management. However, state-of-the-practice data postprocessing approaches require substantial manual operations, which can be time-consuming and expensive. The main objective of this study is to develop methods and algorithms to automate the post-processing of the visual sensor data towards the extraction of three main categories of information: 1) object information such as object identity, shapes, and spatial relationships - a novel heuristic-based method is proposed to automate the detection and recognition of main structural elements of steel girder bridges in both terrestrial and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based laser scanning data. Domain knowledge on the geometric and topological constraints of the structural elements is modeled and utilized as heuristics to guide the search as well as to reject erroneous detection results. 2) structural damage information, such as damage locations and quantities - to support the assessment of damage associated with small deformations, an advanced crack assessment method is proposed to enable automated detection and quantification of concrete cracks in critical structural elements based on UAV-based visual sensor data. In terms of damage associated with large deformations, based on the surface normal-based method proposed in Guldur et al. (2014), a new algorithm is developed to enhance the robustness of damage assessment for structural elements with curved surfaces. 3) three-dimensional volumetric models - the object information extracted from the laser scanning data is exploited to create a complete geometric representation for each structural element. In addition, mesh generation algorithms are developed to automatically convert the geometric representations into conformal all-hexahedron finite element meshes, which can be finally assembled to create a finite element model of the entire bridge. To validate the effectiveness of the developed methods and algorithms, several field data collections have been conducted to collect both the visual sensor data and the physical measurements from experimental specimens and in-service bridges. The data were collected using both terrestrial laser scanners combined with images, and laser scanners and cameras mounted to unmanned aerial vehicles.

Abstract:
The Maria Sibylla Merian International Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Conviviality-Inequality in Latin America (Mecila) will study past and present forms of social, political, religious and cultural conviviality, above all in Latin America and the Caribbean while also considering comparisons and interdependencies between this region and other parts of the world. Conviviality, for the purpose of Mecila, is an analytical concept to circumscribe ways of living together in concrete contexts. Therefore, conviviality admits gradations – from more horizontal forms to highly asymmetrical convivial models. By linking studies about interclass, interethnic, intercultural, interreligious and gender relations in Latin America and the Caribbean with international studies about conviviality, Mecila strives to establish an innovative exchange with benefits for both European and Latin American research. The focus on convivial contexts in Latin America and the Caribbean broadens the horizon of conviviality research, which is often limited to the contemporary European context. By establishing a link to research on conviviality, studies related to Latin America gain visibility, influence and impact given the political and analytical urgency that accompanies discussions about coexistence with differences in European and North American societies, which are currently confronted with increasing socioeconomic and power inequalities and intercultural and interreligious conflicts.
