Abstract

Indeed, natural processes of discarding rubber waste have many disadvantages for the environment. As a result, multiple researchers suggested addressing this problem by recycling rubber as an aggregate in concrete mixtures. Previously, numerous studies have been undertaken experimentally to investigate the properties of rubberized concrete. Furthermore, investigations were carried out to develop estimating techniques to precisely specify the generated concrete's characteristics, making its use in real-life applications easier. However, there is still a gap in the conducted studies on the performance of the k-nearest neighbor algorithm. Hence, this research explores the accuracy of using the k-nearest neighbor's algorithm in predicting the compressive and tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of rubberized concrete. It will be done by developing an optimized machine learning model using the aforementioned method and then benchmarking its results to the outcomes of multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks. The study's findings have shown that the k-nearest neighbor's algorithm provides significantly higher accuracy than other methods. This kind of study needs to be discussed in the literature so that people can better deal with rubber waste in concrete. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-06 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Repairing and retrofitting old civil engineering structures based on reinforced concrete represents a challenge for civil engineering societies all over the world. Environmental impacts such as corrosion and natural disasters like earthquakes can considerably weaken those structures. Reinforced concrete confinement technique using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) is considered as an innovative solution to strengthen the old and damaged structures. In this paper, a numerical simulation was carried out to evaluate the impact of the CFRP jacket as a confining composite material on the compressive strength and the ultimate strain of confined reinforced concrete. A FE model was developed, validated by comparing its results with the available experimental measurements, and finally assessed by performing a parametric study. Indeed, the parametric investigations had as their purpose the evaluation of the level of confinement (different number of plies), namely without plies, one plie, and three plies configuration, that were subjected to different eccentric loading modes e=0, e=25 and e=50 mm, in order to assess the interaction between the combined load that can be represented by compressive and flexural effect. The numerical results were, in fact, in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, CFRP wrapping had a significant effect on the maximum load of eccentrically loaded columns compared to concentrically loaded columns by increasing the compressive strength with a value of 15% gain compared to the unconfined column. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This paper aims to study the behavior of one-way concrete solid slabs reinforced with welded wire mesh to investigate the efficiency of using welded wire mesh in the construction of structural slabs as a replacement for ordinary steel bars. This research included experimental and analytical programs. Nine 700×1050 mm one-way simple specimens and six 525×1050 mm continuous one-way slabs with two equal spans were tested under point, line, and uniform static loads. The experimental program studied the use of welded mesh and the number of layers utilized. Numerical analysis was conducted using finite element modeling developed using the ABAQUS 6.13 software package. Experimental and analytical results showed good correlation: the number of layers of welded metal mesh and load type significantly affected the peak vertical load capacity of simple and continuous slabs, with slabs showing higher values with welded mesh than those of ordinary reinforcing bars. In addition, using welded metal mesh to reinforce solid slabs enhanced their cracking behavior as well as their ductility. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research attempts to investigate the effect of shear wall openings on the response reduction factor. Openings are commonly necessary because of other engineering disciplines’ requirements. When openings are modest in proportion to the size of the wall, their effects are frequently disregarded. On the other hand, when these openings are large or located in a high-risk area, they can have a significant impact. A broad literature review has been conducted in the present study. A verified comparative example consisting of eight stories was studied. Then, a numerical study has been conducted on two different model sets with 16 and 8 stories, which were designed according to the Egyptian code of loads, ECP-201 (2012), and checked according to the Euro code, EC8 (2004). ETABS software was used to conduct pushover analysis before and after applying different-sized openings. The ground-opening effect has also been studied. The results show that by increasing the opening area, the R-factor was reduced. It is more influenced by the opening height than the width, though. By increasing the number of stories, the reduction percentage in the R-Factor increased for openings that are less than 30% of the wall area. The R-factor increases slightly when half of the reinforcement bars are added. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of spillway width on flow elevation at the weir crest based on the flood discharge design for the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) return period using flood routing hydrologically at the Cacaban Dam (Indonesia). The rainfall Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) design uses the Hershfield Equation. The design of the flood discharge analysis of QPMF used the Nakayasu Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (HSS). Flood routing uses the hydrologic routing method. The Cacaban Dam is located in Jati Village, Kedung Banteng District, Tegal Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The results of the research data analysis showed that increased spillway crest widths led to decreased flow evaluation at the spillway crest, and increased outflow discharge. Thus, if a large storage volume of the reservoir is intended, then the width of the spillway crest must be reduced. Otherwise, the width of the spillway crest must be increased. In terms of flood control in the Tegal Regency, it's better to make the crest of the spillway smaller. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Retaining walls in axi-symmetric conditions and in plane strains have been widely treated in the literature using different approaches (limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip line, and numerical techniques by finite elements or finite differences). The finite element or finite difference method provides more accurate solutions to the problem than the limit equilibrium method. In this paper, a new model of retaining wall in the axi-symmetry conditions under outward pressure is considered, this case can be widely used in the design of grain silos, buildings and road constructions. Numerical calculations using FLAC are reported to evaluate the evolution of the earth pressure distribution on a cylindrical wall filled with granular material and subjected to radial displacement. A parametric study is carried out in order to evaluate the distribution of the active earth pressure on the wall according to the radius, the angle of friction of the granular material, and the angle of friction of the interface granular material-wall. This study shows that there is an effect of the circular shape and the inclination of the wall on the active earth pressures. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Urban land uses of all kinds are the constituent elements of the urban spatial structure. Because of the influence of economic and social factors, cities in general are characterized by the dynamic state of their elements over time. Urban functions occur in a certain way with different spatial patterns. Hence, urban planners and the relevant urban management teams should understand the future spatial pattern of these changes by resorting to quantitative models in spatial planning. This is to ensure that future predictions are made with a high level of accuracy so that appropriate strategies can be used to address the problems arising from such changes. The Markov chain method is one of the quantitative models used in spatial planning to analyze time series based on current values to predict the series values in the future without relying on the past or historical values of the studied series. The research questions in this study are formulated thus: What are the trends in the patterns of urban land use functions in Al-Najaf, Iraq, between 2005 to 2015? How can the values of the changes be predicted for the year 2025? The hypothesis is based on the increasing spatial functional change of land use patterns in the city during the study period due to various economic and social factors. Making accurate predictions of the size of spatial changes motivates this study as a guide to urban management towards developing possible solutions to address the effects of this change, as well as the need to understand its causes and future upward trends. The contribution of this article is the presented outlook for spatial functions for the next 10 years. The computations using the Markov chain model will enable management to understand future relations and develop appropriate policies to reduce the hazards of unplanned changes in the city. Results show that residential posts, slums, and commercial activities are getting worse, while change values for industrial functions and other things are going down. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Dynamic tests enable assessment of the structure’s technical condition and provide information necessary for management and maintenance throughout the object’s life cycle. On their basis, the dynamic characteristics of the object are estimated (e.g., the logarithmic decrement). The possible occurrence of atypical features in the obtained signal (e.g. amplitude beat, outliers), as well as the influence of the type of devices and sensors used for measurements, should be considered. If these features are omitted during the analysis, key dynamic characteristics may be evaluated incorrectly. Therefore, this study presents development of a reproducible, universal and robust open-source algorithm for effective estimation of the logarithmic decrement of bridge structures as a reproducible research. Using the presented approach, it is possible to obtain correct results regardless of the signal’s specificity and its atypical features, as well as the type of devices used to collect data in the in-situ conditions. Two approaches based on the use of advanced regression models are considered to estimate the logarithmic decrement. These are direct non-linear approximation (DNAP) and Hilbert non-linear approximation (HNAP). The enriched HNAPsolution was then implemented as a Python module with a "Signal" class and tested on two independent in-situ examples. The presented approach led to effective and correct estimation of the logarithmic decrement, and proved to be insensitive to the type of bridge, its structural characteristics, atypical features of the obtained signal, and the specificity of the data acquisition techniques. In contrast to methods based on deep machine learning, the presented solution does not require a large learning set representative for a given type of design and works independently of the size of the data sample. As demonstrated in the paper, the solution based on the Hilbert transform allows efficient determination of the damping decrement even in the presence of beat frequencies as well as outlier data. The algorithm works independently of the measurement method, with the necessary functions for preprocessing being implemented in the module itself. The solution has been optimized for improved speed, reliability, and reproducibility of results. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-02 Full Text: PDF
