Research has often been limited to incident analysis rather than addressing how to manage fire safety to minimize risks and did not sufficiently take into account the features of the construction of the hotel building and the characteristics of materials. The existing state of management and regulation of material damage risks from fires and emergencies does not fully take into account the approaches and means for their minimization, in particular in hotels. There is an increasing need for the use of assessment methods that will help in the performance of risk management functions. There is a need to find effective mechanisms for assessing the risks of material damage of building construction and materials of high-rise rooms from fires and emergencies. Fires in public sites on the example of hotels have been taken for research. There is an increasing need for the use of assessment methods that will help in the performance of material loss risk management functions. During the period of martial law, the method of assessing material damage to the building presented in the article can be used to assess material damage from destruction and fires for future compensation. With the help of this method, it is possible to estimate probable material damage from fires and emergencies, which will allow them to be used in supervisory and preventive activities and the insurance industry. Thus, fires in hotels cause significant material damage, and recently, as statistics show, also human losses. In hotels, it is important to ensure the protection of the building, premises and people from fire. Therefore, the issue of assessing fire risks is currently relevant. Fire risk assessment is an important part of fire science and safety engineering.","PeriodicalId":10603,"journal":{"name":"Construction Technologies and Architecture","volume":"47 1","pages":"49 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91125878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These waste materials not biodegradable in nature, so it is left as stocks or dumped illegally. The burning millions of tons of waste tires creates great risk. To prevent the hazardous effect of produced chemical gases (CO2) through combustion processes, many research attempts to use huge amounts of rubber waste in concrete mixes. In this paper, properties that are both fresh and hardened of self-consolidating concrete with different sizes of waste tires rubber and micro steel fibers were investigated. The various sizes of waste tires rubber were utilized in place of coarse and fine aggregates, limestone (Al-Gubra) and silica fume after obtaining a rubber size close to the size of each material that has been replaced. Coarse and fine aggregates were replaced with chip and crumb rubbers (20% and 10% by weight). Al-Gubra and silica fume were replaced with ground and finely ground rubbers (50%, 25%, and 12% by weight). The experimental results showed that the fresh properties of self-consolidating concrete had been adversely affected by incorporating micro steel fibers and scrap tires rubber, but remained within the European Federation of National Trade Association Representing Concrete (EFNARC). The results of tests also showed that the mechanical properties decrease when used rubbers as aggregates. However, the results demonstrated that the compressive as well as splitting tensile strength of specimens increased by replacing lime stone dust and silica fume with rubbers. The increases were (12.2-28.0) % and (11.6-41.9) % for compressive strength and splitting tensile strength, respectively.","PeriodicalId":10603,"journal":{"name":"Construction Technologies and Architecture","volume":"21 1","pages":"69 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88447745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine the most effective parameters for the joist's system loading capacity. The main conclusions were that the slab thickness and joist height were the critical parameters for increasing the load capacity and stiffness of the slab. Furthermore, a small opening in the slab was more efficient in reducing the punching shear effect than larger openings. While providing stiffening rips around the opening was more effective in rose load bearing and reducing deflection than strengthening by carbon fibre sheets.","PeriodicalId":10603,"journal":{"name":"Construction Technologies and Architecture","volume":"3 1","pages":"31 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90074289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers interested in improving concrete's structural resistance, toughness, and flexure tensile strength have turned their focus to geo-polymer concrete binders.

The purpose of this review is to examine geopolymer cement in depth and to get a better understanding of its mechanical characteristics. In this analysis, we see that Geopolymer concrete, in particular its compressive and tensile strengths, provides higher resilience.

In this study, nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis was used to model and compare the influence of curvature performance on the behavior of the simply-supported RC curved soffit reinforced girders strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer plates (CFRP) with a curve height of 5 to 130 mm. In this study, two models with different heights of curve (5 and 130 mm) and references for each model were used. Each model had dimensions that were similar to those of the models used in the program in terms of cross-sectional area and effective span. Simulations were done on the girders to find out how the load moved in relation to the mean range, the failure load, and the failure mode. This was done so that the effect of curvature on the performance of this type of structural element could be understood. The results show that the girder of height of curve is 5 mm more than 130 mm of the analytical ultimate load compared with that experimentally with a difference of only 4.5%, and 4.2% respectively.

This would expand the railway network by planning new track routes to increase the efficiency of railway transportation by running behavior of high train speeds between urban cities. The track/ballast; sleepers; and subgrade foundation system are important superstructure parts that need to be upgraded and improved to withstand high train speeds. A numerical finite element technique significantly benefits in simulating the impact of the dynamic response and predicting the deformation and stress distribution in the railway ballasted system. A three-dimensional finite element program PLAXIS ver. (20) have been utilized in this research to analyze the track of complex behavior under train loading. The vertical displacement of 3.8 mm was obtained at the rail/wheel contact point and greater than at the ballast embankment by about (19%) and (37%) for the subgrade foundation. Also, the maximum value of vertical displacement corresponds with the movement path of the train load is reduced laterally as the distance from the track centerline increases. The maximum vertical acceleration of 15.2 m/s2 was obtained at surface points under track loading and decreased gradually with increased depth below the ballast embankment layer to reach a minimum value of 1.2 m/s2. The vertical deformation was 1.3 mm, 2 mm, and 3.9 mm for 40 km/hr, 50 km/hr, and 60 km/hr respectively, and increased rapidly to 15 mm for train velocity greater than 70 km/hr due to the significant increase in train vibration level at higher speed.

To increase the stable load-carrying capacity, a simplified and efficient computational method for determining the first critical load is necessary for the structure's structural design, application and safety. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the critical bending moment Mbcr and the critical torsion moment MTcr due to geometric size variations in the square, diamond, and circle cross-sectional hollow pipes so that consideration of the selection of hollow pipe size and cross-sectional shape is obtained under pure bending and pure torsion to minimize the occurrence of instability of the structure. The geometric size variation is carried out by changing the value of a/t in the quadrilateral pipe, the value of D/t in the circular pipe, and the length of the pipe L in each cross-sectional shape. This research was conducted using Finite Element Analysis-based software with linear and nonlinear buckling analyses. The moment load is given at the centre point of the model end, and the boundary conditions are set to see the deformation on the mid-span section of the pipe. The results showed that Mbcr and MTcr were inversely proportional to the values of a/t, D/t, and . The largest value of Mbcr belongs to the circular pipe. The value of Mbcr in the diamond pipe is greater than the square pipe but getting closer to the same as the value of L increases the MTcr value of both cross-sections is the same. The MTcr curve in the cross-section of the circle has a higher degree of steepness than the square and diamond cross-section. At the same value, the more the value of a/t and D/t increases thickness change has more compared to the circular pipe. At the same L, the greater the value of a/t and D/t, the difference in the Mbcr between the cross-section of the circle and the quadrilateral is smaller, but the difference in MTcr tends to be the same. At the same value of a/t and D/t, the oval deformation value and angle of twist will get bigger, but the Mbcr and MTcr values are getting smaller and will be constant at a given pipe length.","PeriodicalId":10603,"journal":{"name":"Construction Technologies and Architecture","volume":"7 1","pages":"21 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87507176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
