Abstract:
While there have been significant advances in the design and construction of composite steel-concrete building structures, their use in regions of high seismicity has been hindered by the lack of design criteria in building codes and specifications. This has prompted initiatives in the Building Seismic Safety Council and the American Institute of Steel Construction to develop seismic design provisions for composite structures. The 1997 edition of the AISC Seismic Provisions includes a new section with requirements for composite steel-concrete structures that are cross-referenced by the general seismic loading and design criteria in the 1997 NEHRP Provisions and the 2000 International Building Code (final draft). Intended to complement existing provisions for steel, reinforced concrete and composite structures in the AISC-LRFD Specification and the ACI 318 Building Code, these new provisions provide an important resource for seismic design of composite structural systems, members, and connections.

Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been used more often over the past decade than before in new construction as well as in repair of deteriorated bridges. Many of these bridges are on low-volume roads, where they receive very little attention. It is imperative that new bridge construction or repair be long lasting, nearly maintenance free, and as economical as possible. Relative to those factors, FRP composite bridges have been found to be structurally adequate and feasible because of their reduced maintenance cost and limited environmental impact (i.e., no harmful chemicals leaching into the atmosphere with longer service life). In West Virginia, 23 FRP composite bridges have been constructed, among which 18 are built on low-volume roads that have an average daily traffic (ADT) of less than 1,000, including 7 with ADT less than 400. General FRP composite bridge geometry and preliminary field responses are presented as are some of the preliminary construction specifications and cost data of FRP composite bridges built on low-volume roads in West Virginia

Abstract:
In the world of construction there are various methods and types of materials used to support the passage of a construction work. One of them is composite girder plate. Composite girder plate is one of the many construction methods that combine two construction materials that are physically different in nature, namely concrete with steel. This type of composite girder plate construction is commonly used for bridge construction work with a fairly large span and width. In its use, of course, it must be preceded by stages of careful planning on a standard and valid basis as well. In the following research will discuss and look for similarities and differences regarding the two types of rules in the planning of composite girder plates, namely the rules of planning composite girder plates using AASHTO LRFD BRIDGE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS 2017 with SNI 1729: 2015. After doing the initial stages of modeling using CSI Bridge software using the profile cross section constraints of the AASHTO provisions, the internal force obtained is Moment Force (Mu) of 3469.13 kNm and Shear Force (Vu) of 225.98 kNm. Then proceed with the analysis of calculations with the help of Microsoft Excel software namely calculating using the AASHTO LRFD BRIDGE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS 2017 regulations for stability requirements of strong boundary conditions on the bending requirements. Then a Nominal Moment (ØMn) value of 6420.19 kNm is obtained. Then proceed to calculate the same planning constraints, but this time using SNI 1729: 2015 regulations. Obtained Nominal Moment Value (ØMn) of 6579.88 kNm. Then it can be concluded that the two regulations produce a safe and strong planning, of course in accordance with applicable regulations namely: Moment (Mu <ØMn).

Abstract:
The use of loss function in studying the reduction in determinant of information matrix due to missing observations has effectively produced designs that are robust to missing observations. Modified central composite designs are constructed for non-standard models using principles of the loss function or equivalently first compound of (I ) matrix associated with hat matrix . Although central composite designs (CCDs) are reasonably robust to model mis-specifications, efficient designs with fewer design points are more economical. By classifying the losses due to missing design points in the CCD portions, where there are multiple losses associated with specified CCD portions, the design points having less influence may be deleted from the full CCD. This leads to a possible increase in design efficiency and offers alternative designs, similar in the structure of CCDs, for non-standard models.

Abstract:
Abstract The slip at the steel-concrete interface in steel-concrete composite beams was studied analytically and numerically. A theoretical description for steel-concrete composite box beams with partial shear interaction based on the partial interaction theory was derived, and equilibrium of the rotation angle w′ was introduced to allow convenient computation of deformation of composite box beams. Numerical simulations of steel-concrete composite box beams subjected to concentrated load and/or uniformly distributed load were conducted. The analytical solutions show excellent agreement with the numerical results. For typical composite box beams used in practice, shear slip in partial composite box beams makes a significant contribution to beam deformation. Even for full composite box beams, slip effects may result in stiffness reduction. However, slip effects are ignored in many design specifications which use transformed section methods; an exception is the American Institute of Steel Construction [1] specifications, which recommend a calculation procedure in the commentary. Finally, the proposed method was extended to analyze the interface slip for shear connectors of different pitch and, to some extent, confirm the accuracy of the predictions.

Abstract:
The growth of electricity demand has put forward higher requirements for transmission line performance. Aluminum composite carbon fiber cores (ACCC) has better performance than traditional steel core aluminum conductor and can better meet the requirements of power transmission and transformation field. However, at present, the wedge-shaped self-locking tension clamp is usually used for aluminum composite carbon fiber cores, which is complicated in construction technology and poor in economy, which restricts the promotion and application of aluminum composite carbon fiber cores.In order to solve the above problems, three kinds of tension clamp structures applied to different specifications of aluminum conductors composite core are optimized. Through the strength and grip test of the clamp, it is verified that the grip force of the clamp structure designed can reach 95% of the rated tensile strength of the conductor. Finally, through the comparative analysis of construction and installation, it is concluded that the pre-twisted tension wire clamp designed has a good economic effect.

Abstract:
Statistical construction specifications based on multiple quality characteristics frequently use pay equations that include a separate term for each of the quality characteristics so that the resultant pay adjustment is a function of the combined effect of all quality measures. An alternate method that can be used to accomplish the same purpose is to base the pay equation on a single quality measure that is a composite of the individual quality measures. The latter approach, because it keys the various decision-making steps to a single performance indicator, simplifies the procedure and offers several practical advantages. It is believed that this approach makes significant strides toward the ultimate goal of developing quality assurance procedures that are at the same time technically sound, fair and effective, and easy to understand and apply. Examples of a two-variable case for hot-mix asphalt pavement and a general three-variable case are presented.

Abstract:
The design specifications of composite trusses are only partially included in the European standards. However this construction system can be considered as one of the most economical for building and bridge structures. To create an interaction between steel and concrete, it is necessary to prevent the relative slip at the steel and concrete interface using the shear connectors. But the local effects of a concentrated longitudinal shear force between steel truss chord and concrete slab, as special task, should be appropriately examined. The finite element analyses can be used to investigate numerically this structural system behaviour, exploiting several computer procedures. The experimental research has tested these procedures. The outputs of this study are presented in the paper.

Abstract:
The chapter is devoted to design and performance of adsorptive heat pumps. In the first sub-division, state-of-the-art of the adsorptive heat pumping is analyzed. It involves analysing operating principle of adsorptive heat pumps, comparing of the properties of adsorbents used, bed specifications, and operating conditions. Original construction of the adsorptive heat pump is designed by authors for independent heat supply systems or hot water supply of buildings and other structures for various purposes. The composites ‘silica gel – sodium sulphate' or ‘silica gel – sodium acetate' were used as adsorbents. Discharging was performed in a daytime, when heat pump supplied heating system with water warmed to 45 – 35°C. The regeneration mode proceeded at night from 0.00 to 8.00 a.m. Efficiency of suggested adsorptive heat pump is estimated by two methods: as ratio of adsorption heat to sum of desorption heat and external heat supplied to sorbent during its heating up to regeneration temperature (coefficient of performance of cycle) and as ratio of heat of adsorption to heat supplied by solar collector (net coefficient of performance). Suggested heat pump coefficients of energy performance of cycle are stated to be 2.084 when composite ‘silica gel – sodium sulphate' used and 2.021 when ‘silica gel – sodium acetate' used. Seasonal dependence of net coefficient energy performance for suggested adsorptive heat pump based on composites ‘silica gel – sodium sulphate' and ‘silica gel – sodium acetate' is revealed. Correlation of coefficients of energy performance of adsorptive heat pump and composite sorbents properties (sorption capacity and regeneration temperature) is stated. Insignificant decreasing of coefficients of energy performance when ‘silica gel – sodium acetate' used is explained by lower sorptive capacity as compared to ‘silica gel – sodium sulphate'. Suggested heat pump application perspectives are shown for heat supply systems to result from traditional energy sources independence and environmental advantages. Adsorptive heat pumps development challenges, major limitations for commercialization of adsorptive heat pumping, and requirements to ongoing innovations are analysed. The present chapter can be useful for energy efficient decentralized heat supply systems based on adsorptive heat pump unit.

Abstract:
Abstract The development of international standards for composite piping systems that are used in the Marine and Offshore Oil & Gas Industries is a recognized customer need. These industries are global in nature. It is not uncommon to see project specifications written in London and Houston, fabrication of the vessel hull in a Korean yard, topsides construction in Indonesia and project location off the coast of West Africa. Operator supplied specifications could come from The Netherlands, France, Norway as well as numerous other countries. In addition, certifying agencies such as ABS, Lloyds or DNV could be involved that must follow international maritime rules and regulations. A concerted effort has been made within the past five years to address these issues. Operators worldwide have come together with composite pipe manufacturers, engineering firms and certifying agencies to develop international standards that address these issues. Anyone considering the use of composite piping in the Marine and/or Offshore Oil & Gas Industries should consider the ASTM and ISO Standards that are in the final stages of development. ASTMF-1173 Rewrite is a purchasing document that is being balloted at the present time. It was developed by ASTM F25.13.03 workgroup. ISO WD 15840 is the international version of ASTM F-1173 Rewrite. It has been circulated to the international community for comments. It was developed by ISO/TC8/SC3/WG4. ISO WD 14692 is a rewrite of original United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) document that was adopted in March 1994. It has been circulated to the international community for comments and is in it’s final stage of development. It was developed by ISO/TC 67/SC 6/WG 5. This document is an engineering specification and recommended practice document. When finalized and passed by the various committees ISO 15840 and ISO 14692 should be used in conjunction with each other. They are compatible documents based on performance criteria. It is the opinion of many who have been in the composite pipe business for over 20 years that these are the most important documents ever developed by our industry. They are grossly overdue. However, while standards are a recognized customer need, standards that are not fully understood by operators, piping engineers and installation teams can be dangerous and misinterpreted. Knowledge of the unique properties of composite materials must be a perquisite to those using these standards. Standards that are not fully understood in the hands of the uneducated is a formula for disaster.

Abstract:
Steel Concrete Composite Wall (SC-Wall) is a unique composite structural component designed and used for shield building wall in new nuclear power plants construction. The composite function (action) of steel-plate and concrete is through the use of embedded studs, which are designed in an appropriate pattern to secure the connections between concrete and surface steel-plates. Thus the behavior of studs (primarily shear behavior) determines the composite state and its functions for serving as an integrated one-piece (or monolithic) section. For elastic state (linear) and ultimate state design, ACI 318 / 349 and recent published design specifications provide formula / equations for shear design-evaluations between plate stud and concrete; but for Beyond Design Basis (BDB) loading conditions, since the section behaves in elasto-plastic (or plastic) state, the constitutive relations among plate-stud-concrete have not yet established in current prevailing codes / or standards. Considering this situation, this paper is contributed to investigate the section behaviors of SC wall subjected to above BDB seismic loadings, provide recommendations for constitutive relations to reveal the actual strain-stress conditions and composite states, and further provide criteria suitable for section design and evaluations under such a circumstance. This research and investigation are based on an analytical methodology and physical model.

Abstract:
The development of Ultra Deep Water (UDW) oil and gas fields, down to 3000 m and beyond, requires high specification flowline and riser systems. At these depths, the flexible pipes must withstand high axial loads and severe dynamic loadings generated by currents, waves and vessel motions. Moreover, the constraints generated by the dynamic loadings are often combined to corrosion issues linked to the presence of CO2 and H2S. In case of sour service application, the structural layers of a classical flexible pipe require the use of steel with reduced mechanical properties compared to a sweet service application. The combination of UDW and sour service applications consequently lead to a riser design of considerable top tension. The main challenges of such applications are the suspended weight and the fatigue / corrosion performances. Carbon fiber composite have demonstrated high specific strength and outstanding corrosion and fatigue damage resistance. The use of carbon fiber composite instead of conventional steel for the tensile armour layers of flexible pipes represents a great alternative for the development of UDW applications combined with sour service conditions. Technip has been engaged for a number of years in the development and qualification program of Carbon Fiber Composite (CFC) Armour. In 2011, an important step has been passed with the successful realization of a full-scale tension-flexion dynamic test. The program of the full-scale dynamic test is based on a representative Brazilian offshore project, a typical UDW application. The CFC prototype structure was designed considering a 9” gas export riser installed at a water depth of 2140m, in free hanging configuration. The riser is made of 2 parts: a top riser with CFC armours and a bottom riser with steel armours. 1.8 millions of cycles were performed without damage, combining internal pressure, tensile loading and bending cycling. The whole test was monitored by acoustic emission to detect the potential damage of the CFC armours. After explaining the advantages of CFC structures compared to traditional steel structures, the paper will focus on the realization of the full-scale dynamic test program. It will detail the design and manufacture of the prototype structure, the construction of the test program representative of the offshore conditions first and then extended to more severe loadings. The paper will also present fatigue analysis and the construction of the CFC fatigue curves.

Abstract:
Steel-plate composite (SC) walls and associated connections can be designed based on the provisions of Appendix N9 to AISC N690s1. AISC N690s1 is Supplement No. 1 to AISC N690-12 specification for safety related steel structures in nuclear facilities and was published in October 2015. AISC is currently in the process of developing a design guide to further enable the use of this specification. This design guide will explore the provisions of this specification in detail and discuss different possible design methodologies. SC wall details at the beginning of the design process are based on typical plant layouts, shielding requirements and prevalent practices. The spacing of tie bars and steel anchors in SC wall needs to ensure the faceplate does not undergo buckling before steel yielding. The steel anchor additionally need to be spaced to ensure that (i) interfacial shear failure does not occur before out-of-plane shear failure, and (ii) the yield strength of the faceplates is developed over the development length. The tie bars need to have sufficient tensile strength to prevent splitting failure of SC walls. The elastic analysis of the SC walls is performed using a finite element analysis. The analysis needs to consider cracked transformed stiffnesses and equivalent material properties. The analysis will be conducted for operating thermal and accident thermal load combinations. The individual demands and the combination of demands need to be compared with the available strengths. The SC walls need to be adequately detailed for openings, meet construction and fabrication tolerances, and satisfy the Quality Assurance and Quality Control requirements. The designed SC walls needs to be safe for impactive and impulsive loads. SC wall panel may need to be (i) anchored to basemat, (ii) connected to another SC wall panel, or (iii) connected to RC slab. The SC connections can be designed as full strength connection or over strength connections. The connection needs to have a well-defined force transfer mechanism. The connection required strength is determined from the design demands of SC walls and the connection design philosophy. The available strength is determined from the individual strengths of connectors participating in the force transfer mechanism.
