Authors: Liu Cheng Bin
Published: June 2012

Saline soil in inshore is a kind of special soil with poor engineering properties such as salt expansion and subsidence. The main purpose of this subject is to find a new material to solidify saline soil, so as to solve the fundamental problems that exist in the solidified saline soil at present. Through the chemical analysis, the unconfined compressive strength, SEM analysis experiment, this paper studied the strength and microstructure of solidified soil with the slag cementitious material. The test results showed that the 7th day’s strength of the test blocks which were cured in the standard case reached to 8.34MPa, the water-related stability was 1.62 times than the soil-cement when the mixing mass is 10%. The soil generated a large number of needle-bar-like crystals in the SEM graph. The research has shown that mixing slag cementitious material into the saline soil can reduce the soluble salt content of saline soil, increase water-related stability and improve the strength of the soil.

Authors: Zheng Shan Suo , Wang Wei , Hou Pi Ji , Xie Ming
Published: June 2012

The existed research shows that when SRC component is under stress, there is bond-slip happened between shape steel and concrete. And the bond-slip have a certain influence on the bearing capacity of SRC component, when component is loaded to ultimate load, the bearing capacity descends quickly because of the effect of bond-slip between shape steel and concrete. Finite method of fiber finite element is a useful way to simulate this kind of composite components, but it ignores the behavior of bond-slip between shape steel and concrete. So building a bond-slip formula for fiber element to simulate SRC component has a practical significance. It’s not only gets more precisely calculated results, but also make the simulation of failure model close to the practical situation. In this paper, in order to add bond-slip effect into fiber element theory, a formula was set up to adjust stress of steel material, which was based on constitutive equations of our bond-slip tests. The method was programmed in OpenSees and used to simulate tests of SRC frame under cycling load, the simulate results shows that the method suggested in this paper is an effective way to express behavior of bond-slip in SRC component.

Authors: Tian Qing Bo , Chen Li Zong , Xu Li Na , Fang Yong Guang
Published: June 2012

A brick material was prepared with marble wastes as main raw material by pressure forming and water-curing at room temperature. With the increases of the amounts of water additions, the compressive strength increased gradually and obtained a highest value of 34.8MPa in the sample of the ratio of cement: wastes=20:100 at 17.0% water addition, above which the strength had an adverse change and decreased. The addition of glass fiber had small effects on the strength, water absorbing rate and density comparing with that of wood flour. The strengths of sample had changed obviously with the increment of the forming pressures. However, the strength would fall because of the lamination caused by the recovering effects of the wood flour in the sample with replacement of the wood flour to marble wastes, as the forming pressures were higher than 5.0 MPa.

Recycled-Aggregate Bedding Mortars for Repair of Historical Buildings
Authors: Corinaldesi Valeria
Published: June 2012

In this work, the possibility of using environmentally-friendly mortars (with crushed bricks replacing sand) as bedding mortars for repair of historical building was studied. When bedding mortars are used for intervention on historical building a compatibility issue can emerge. Indeed, if masonry containing sulphate salts is restored by using mortars based on hydraulic binders the risk of failure is high. For this reason, as binders alternatively a blended cement and a hydraulic lime were used, both proving to be unsensitive to sulphates. Two crushed brick aggregates were alternatively added to the mortars by fully replacing virgin sand, they showed different grain size distributions and, consequently, a different content of very fine materials. All the environmentally-friendly mortars were characterized from a mechanical point of view. Then their physical behaviour was studied trough microstructure characterization, as well as through the evaluation of both their resistance to the vapor permeability and their capillary water absorption. Results obtained showed that the use of recycled bricks instead of virgin sand, particularly if roughly ground, could allow to achieve a good compromise between vapour permeability and capillary absorption of mortar.

Published: June 2012

The MTS810 and SHPB are used to experimentally study the quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of three-dimensional E-glass fiber-reinforced composite. Stress-strain curves along the plane and thickness direction are obtained under varying strain rates, ranging from 10-3 to 103s-1. Experimental results show that strain rate has a significant effect on the material response. It is found that the compressive strength and the modulus increase with increasing strain rate, the failure strain, however, decreases slightly. But, the effect of strain rate in-plane and through thickness directions is different. A higher strain rate sensitive modulus and failure is found in the thickness direction, while a higher strain rate sensitive failure strength is found in the in-plane direction.

Influence of Environmental Agents in Architecture. Tradition and Innovation. Romania: A Case Study
Authors: Dabija Ana Maria
Published: June 2012

Geographically, Romania is situated in the continental temperate zone of Europe, with severe climatic conditions: the winters are very cold (with temperatures that can reach, in some provinces or in some days, values of -200C to –350C) and the summers very hot (in the past few years temperatures were between +38 - +400C, for weeks). Not only the air temperature gradient is broad (75 ÷ 800C), but as a consequence the temperature difference on the horizontal surfaces may rise to as much as 1000C. Romania is situated between parallels 430 and 480. In a very simple/simplistic approach, it can be considered as being half way between the North Pole and the Equator, therefore the constructive components can be identified in both the Northern architecture and the Southern one. The traditional architecture aims to provide a comfortable indoor environment both during the winter and the summer season, by using local building materials. Along with the building conformation, given by the local conditions (climate, earth, building materials), the peoples interventions (from religion to fashion) are also determinant. The paper presents some building principles, constructive systems and materials that transcend traditional architecture, in Romania.

The Architecture of Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museums
Authors: Jiang Hao , Jiang Si Jia
Published: June 2012

Memorial architecture faces the special challenge of commemorating the absent; Jewish museums deal with an extra problematic history of high sensitivity. This paper examines and compares Daniel Libeskind’s architectural solutions to the cultural and political challenges in each of the three Jewish museums that he designed in Berlin, San Francisco and Copenhagen. The focus is on how the architecture institutionalizes the web of political relationships attached to the particular museum and delivers the museum’s message. It will be concluded that Libeskind has used space to address visitors bodily and affectively, control their behavior and help them see what the museums want them to see; the museums’ spatial existence can never really be independent of their contents. Light will be shed on the future of museum architecture: the trend is for museums designed for an expressive experience, involving movement, rather than the static enjoyment of single works of art.

Published: June 2012

An estimation of wall friction during the consolidation of kaolin in testing chamber using the consolidation characteristic is presented herein. A slurry of kaolin was consolidated one dimensionally in a testing chamber under Overconsolidation Ratio (OCR) of ten. The moisture content and undrained shear strength were determined after the consolidation completed. It was found that, the moisture content decreases and the undrained shear strength increases with chamber depth. The differences were observed in the moisture content and strength measurements with increasing depth due to the influence of wall friction during the consolidation process. By using consolidation characteristic of kaolin from the testing chamber and Rowe cell (supplementary test), estimation of wall friction was calculated. It was found that, the wall friction estimation provided differences less than 2.2% with the experimental test.
