While European countries have embraced the use of sustainable, naturally sourced materials, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), their use in the UK and Ireland is much more limited. Currently, CLT is only manufactured in mainland Europe using C24 timber. This has higher characteristic properties than the most common grade of timber grown in the UK and Ireland. The UK climate generally results in fast growing trees, leading to lower density timber which is often correlated to lower strength properties. This research investigates the drying and conditioning methods used to achieve a moisture content of 12%, which is required to produce CLT panels according to European standards. The addition of a strengthening material, glass fibre mesh produces a novel product for the construction industry while improving a CLT panels overall performance in bending and shear, examined through a 4-point bending test. The research also focuses on finding the most suitable way of incorporating the glass fibre mesh between the bottom two layers of CLT panels with various adhesive techniques, examined through shear tests.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46312921","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}

During the visual inspection of concrete structures, different deterioration mechanisms such as alkali-silica aggregate reaction (ASR), carbonation, abrasion and drying shrinkage were found. After visual inspection, the data on ingredients used in the construction of various structures were collected, revealingthat different brands of cement used in construction contained high alkali-equivalent content. Fine aggregates were used from two different quarries during construction. The available literature and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) results showed that both the quarries’ aggregates have the potential for alkali-silica reactivity. Furthermore, the XRD results of gel-type material collected from mapped cracking indicated the presence of delhayelite, similar to alkali-silica gel, suggesting ASR. The XRD curves of the whitest powder collected from various sites showed the presence of sodium sulfate and calcium carbonate peaks, indicating salt hydration attacks. The carbonation rate in concrete ranges from 4.33 to 5.77 mm/year. The results of the rebound hammer and pulse velocity test indicated that concrete used in parking has low strength which is the main cause of abrasion. Based on these findings a few recommendations have been presented to avoid durability-related problems in future structures.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42946172","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 this paper, an Advanced version of the Binary Slime Mould Algorithm (ABSMA) is introduced for feature subset selection to improve the performance of structural damage classification techniques. Two operators of mutation and crossover are embedded to the algorithm, to overcome the stagnation situation involved in the Binary Slime Mould Algorithm (BSMA). The proposed ABSMA is then embedded in a new data-driven SHM framework which consists of three main steps. In the first step, structural time domain responses are collected and pre-processed to extract the statistical features. In the second step, the order of the extracted features is reduced using an optimization algorithm to find a minimal subset of salient features by removing irrelevant, and redundant data. Finally, the optimized feature vectors are used as inputs to Neural Network (NN) based classification models. Benchmark datasets of a timber bridge model and a three-story frame structure are employed to validate the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed ABSMA provides a better performance and convergence rate compared to other commonly used binary optimization algorithms.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48726977","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 paper presents a proof of concept for using the vehicle contact-point (CP) response for drive-by condition monitoring of bridges. An expression is presented which allows the vibration response at the point of contact between the tyre and the bridge surface to be inferred from the in-vehicle measurements. Following a simple numerical demonstration of the concept, laboratory tests are undertaken to verify that the CP response can be used to detect the fundamental frequency of the bridge. Results show that the CP response can be used to identify the bridge frequency with greater certainty than the signals measured directly on the vehicle. It is also shown, for two simulated damage cases, that changes in bridge frequency can be detected. The CP response is seen to be more sensitive to changes in bridge frequency than the measured signals. It is also observed that the detected frequency is sensitive to the vehicle speed and mass, which is an important consideration when combining results from multiple vehicle passages. Overall, the results verify that the CP response can be used to enhance drive-by bridge monitoring regimes.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45760094","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 pressure during the injection needs to be high enough to ensure polymer penetrability. This paper introduces two physical models for the study of the pressure inside concrete fractures during polymer injections. The injection parameters that were varied include pressure, injection duration, injection volume, location of the injection and pressure reading ports, and fluid dynamic viscosity. Water and water-glycerol mixtures were used to verify the influence of viscosity on flow. Tests were performed with both open and sealed fractures. The pressure inside the fracture during the injection was influenced by the dynamic viscosity, boundary conditions and the saturation level of the fracture. Sealed and initially moist fractures led to a higher pressure gain inside the fracture after achieving saturation. More than 40% of the injection pressure was already lost when the liquid entered the model. A numerical model of liquid flow in the fracture plane was developed with the finite element code COMSOL Multiphysics. It was able to replicate the influence of boundary conditions and initial fracture saturation on pressure. The model also shows how aperture and roughness influence the flow conditions in the fracture.","PeriodicalId":43844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46416212","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 partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) in concrete has recently been a primary focus of worldwide researchers for sustainability in environmental aspects. The primary purpose of this review is to comprehend the effect of design parameters in determining the mechanical characteristics of high-performance self-compacting (HP-SCC) that include recycled coarse aggregates (RCA). Seven design parameters were extracted and considered in this review. It has been revealed that the design parameters of HP-SCC with RCA have a different effect on the mechanical characteristics of HP-SCC with various grades. In addition, the current research aims to promote environmental-friendly development and produce sustainable materials to improve mechanical-related characteristics in concrete in the absence of a precise evaluation technique. Artificial neural network (ANN) models have been implemented using the design parameters for predicting concrete mechanical properties based on three statistical indicators.
