Tobermorite is a crystalline phase that is used for studying C-S-H properties in nano scale, because of its analogous chemical composition to C-S-H. Aluminum incorporation in C-S-H and the formation of calcium aluminosilicate hydrates (C-A-S-H) is due to both of hydration of tricalcium aluminate (C3A) in portland cement and aluminum oxides in pozzolans. There exist different Al/Si ratios in the tetrahedral chains of C-A-S-H depending on available aluminum oxides in cementitious raw materials. In order to compare the simulation results with previously-published experimental researches on cement pastes, a novel method is introduced here to calculate Al/Si ratio in tetrahedral chains of C-A-S-H using pozzolan replacement ratio in cementitious paste. MK (metakaolin) and FC3R (Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalyst Residue) are the pozzolans that are used to validate the obtained results in this paper. Results showed that diffusion coefficients of chloride ions in C-A-S-H decrease by Al/Si ratio increasing in the tetrahedral chains as it was observed experimentally in previous researches.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49395322","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}

At first, the finite element model in ABAQUS was calibrated by experimental results, obtained from previous studies. Then, three steel shear panels with different sizes of elliptical openings were analyzed under cyclic loads, and the results were compared to those circular perforations. Moreover, comparisons of cyclic response parameters such as elastic stiffness, ductility ratio, and energy absorption were made. According to the results, the shape of the openings has a significant effect on the seismic behavior of the perforated shear wall. The elliptical opening with the smaller to larger diameter ratio, equal to 0.5, increased the ultimate capacity by 15%. Furthermore, the elastic stiffness, ductility ratio of the frame, and the absorbed energy were promoted by 28%, 3%, and 8%, respectively. Finally, the distance between the openings was improved. Using a ratio of about 0.17 for the center to center distance of elliptical openings to the total width of steel panel led to the best performance.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42670018","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}

To calculate deformations in the structure, the minimum total potential energy principle is used. This method estimates the linear behavior of the structure in the range of small and large deformations, with a very good accuracy and low analytical time. The results show that analysis of a console beam by proposed method, even with minimum numbers of elements, in range of small deformations, has a computation error of less than 2%. Meanwhile, solving the same problem by Applied Element Method (AEM), has more than 31% error. Also, the buckling and post-buckling behavior of the structure, within the range of large deformations, is well-suited. So, with minimum number of elements, and very high accuracy, the buckling behavior of the fixed-base column was simulated. Also, the computational time of the proposed method is less than 40 percent of the computational time in the application of the applied elements method with 10 series of connection springs.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44576408","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}

Conventional pavement analysis methods ignore the existence of cracks in asphaltic layers. However, it seems that the responses of cracked pavement would not be the same as a pavement without crack. This paper describes effects of crack type, position and length, and vehicles tire inflation pressure and axle load on the performance of cracked asphalt pavement. Tensile strain at the bottom of asphaltic layer, the vertical strain on subgrade, maximum deflection on the surface, rut depth and the stress intensity factors of cracked pavement, with top down and bottom up crack have been computed using 3D Finite Elements method in ABAQUS. Moving load of standard single axle with different loads and tire pressures have been used in the analysis. Standard 8.2 ton single axle load at different tire pressures of 552(80), 690(100), 828(120) and 1035(150) kPa(psi) and single axle at different loads of 5, 8.2 and 15 ton, all at the same tire pressure of 690 kPa, have been used. Results show that the pavement responses increase with increasing tire pressure and axle load with higher values and rate of increase with increasing tire pressure and axle load for the cracked pavement compared with the pavement without crack. For the pavement structure investigated in this study, it was found that, in general, top down crack results in higher responses than bottom up crack.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47125135","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}

A short version of DBQ with 20 items is also developed on the same four factors using high factor loading of each of the axis categories. This DBQ can serve as an instrument of driver self-assessment and can use with other self-reporting measures.

The concentrated plasticity model including one elastic element and two nonlinear spring elements at both ends has been considered within the research community for simulating beams and columns, counting the effect of strength and stiffness degradation. In this type of simulation, the axial force ratio generated in each structural component, which is a major factor in introducing nonlinear springs, has always been considered constant in the literature. The main objective of the present research is, therefore, to modify the fundamental weakness in this type of modeling approach; indeed, any variation of element’s axial effort, owing to redistribution of axial forces during an earthquake, is applied in the calculation of parameters of the concentrated plasticity model as a decisive step toward the development of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Moreover, an algorithm is presented for implementing this approach in the OpenSees software. Verification is established and the efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated through a reinforced concrete moment frame subjected to a specific record, as a case study building. Regarding the results, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm is an appropriate tool for achieving quite a realistic nonlinear model and estimating reasonably accurate responses of structural systems with cyclic degrading behavior under earthquake loading.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45364825","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}

Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) analysis of asphalt binders has been successfully used in highway research works in order to predict fatigue behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA). In this method an intrinsic property of the material, called damage function is obtained which is independent of damage path. However, achieving damage function needs application of various loading paths and a trial and error procedure. In this study, a quick characterization procedure has been proposed to implement VECD analysis that results in fatigue prediction of HMA. The procedure is comprised of a testing setup, along with the analysis required to derive VECD parameters from experimental data. The test consists of a stepwise loading scheme including a few strain levels with relatively large increments in between. Subsequently, an optimization method has been introduced to be performed on the test results, to yield damage function, i.e. modulus as a state function of Internal State Variable (ISV). The analytical framework leading to the optimization problem, along with its solution methods are presented. Consequently, the fatigue life prediction model has been obtained, relating the change in shear modulus to loading conditions such as strain level and frequency. Eventually, the introduced characterization method was validated, comparing the results with those achieved in conventional procedure. The validation showed that the results of optimization and conventional methods agree, with an acceptable precision.","PeriodicalId":43959,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal-CEIJ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49660747","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}
