The comparison between experimental and numerical results shows that the ABAQUS model is reliable. The punching shear resistances calculated by ACI 318-19 and TCVN 5574:2018 with different opening sizes and locations are agreed well to each other, since the design principles between two codes now are similar.","PeriodicalId":387908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - HUCE","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124954846","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}

Unfortunately, no official guidelines of UHPC using a high volume of SCMs have been published up to now. This paper proposes a new method of mix design for UHPC using high volume fly ash (HVFA), that is referred to the particle packing optimization of the Compressive Packing Model proposed by F. de Larrard. This proposed method also considers the heat treatment curing duration to maximize the compressive strength of HVFA UHPC. The experimental results using this proposed mix design method show that the optimum fly ash content of 50 wt.% of binder can be used to produce HVFA UHPC with a compressive strength of over 120 MPa and 150 MPa under standard curing and heat treatment, respectively. Moreover, the embodied CO2 emissions of UHPC reduces 56.4% with addition of 50% FA.","PeriodicalId":387908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - HUCE","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125578156","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}

The idea of 500oC isotherm method, which is stipulated in both Eurocodes (EC2-1.2) and SP 468, is applied associated with specifications of temperature distribution on T-beams’ cross sections and the temperature-dependent mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel. A case study is conducted to explicitly calculate the flexural strength deterioration (FSD) of T-beams compared to that at ambient temperature. A calculation sheet is established for parametric studies, from which the results show that the FSD factor of RC T-beams is adversely proportional to the dimensions of the beam’s web and flange. However, the effect of these components of T-beams is not significant.","PeriodicalId":387908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - HUCE","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129873413","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}

However, designing steel trusses is a challenging task for engineers due to a large number of design variables. Recently, optimization-based design approaches have demonstrated the great potential to effectively support structural engineers in finding the optimal designs of truss structures. This paper aims to use the AdaBoost-DE algorithm for optimizing steel roof trusses. The AdaBoost-DE employed in this study is a hybrid algorithm in which the AdaBoost classification technique is used to enhance the performance of the Differential Evolution algorithm by skipping unnecessary fitness evaluations during the optimization process. An example of a duo-pitch steel roof truss with a span of 24 meters is carried out. The result shows that the AdaBoost-DE achieves the same optimal design as the original DE algorithm, but reduces the computational cost by approximately 36%.","PeriodicalId":387908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - HUCE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117095430","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}

There already exist many methods proposed previously including widely used direct time integration methods such as ones in the β-Newmark family, Houbolt’s method, and Runge-Kutta method. The time finite element methods (TFEM) that followed the well-posed variational statement for structural dynamics are found to bring about a superior accuracy even with large time steps (element sizes), when compared with the results from methods mentioned above. Some high-order time finite elements were derived with the procedure analogous to the conventional finite element methods. In the formulation of these time finite elements, the shape functions are like the ones for a (spatial) 2-order finite beam. In this article, a simplified variant for the TFEM is proposed where the shape functions similar to the ones for a (spatial) axial bar are used. The accuracy in the obtained results of some numerical examples is found to be comparable with the accuracy in the previous results.","PeriodicalId":387908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Technology in Civil Engineering (STCE) - HUCE","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116437025","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}

In the model, only the linear approximation is necessary, and the discrete shear gap method for triangular plate elements is used to avoid the shear locking. The Newmark direct integration technique is used to capture the dynamic responses of the sandwich plates. The convergence study is made, and the accuracy of present results is validated by comparison with available data in the literature. The influence of geometrical parameters, material properties, and boundary conditions are explored and discussed.

Three RC column specimens with the same geometrical dimensions, reinforcement detailing, and concrete compressive strength were cast and tested in the current experimental investigation. One RC column without being strengthened is referred as the control specimen whereas two other RC columns were partially strengthened by CFRP sheets. All three RC columns were axially loaded with the same initial eccentricity e0 of 80 mm.

Physical properties of the core and two middle layers vary smoothly through the thickness according to the cosine and power-law forms, respectively.
