Authors: Ghorbani Ali , Izadi Ardavan
Published: September 2019

Statistics of human losses and financial casualties in Guilan province as one of the most populated and strategic areas in the north of Iran have doubled the importance of having knowledge about earthquake and strategies to reduce its effect. In order to investigate seismic hazard analysis, earthquake records along with selecting the proper distance of intended locations were gathered to make Poissonian catalogs. The earthquake catalogs cover the geographical area limited to 35.0°-39.3°N, 47.1-52.2°E and include around 4,000 earthquake events between the years of 855 to 2016.  An extensive amount of efforts and times are required to eliminate duplicated events, to unify the magnitude scales and to cluster the earthquake sequences with variable windows in time and location domains to remove aftershocks and foreshocks. The Final homogenous catalog consists of around 110 events for each region. Magnitude of completeness in different time intervals is reported for Guilan region. Seismicity parameters were achieved using Gutenberg-Richter method by Zmap and Kijko-Sellovell approaches for important cities of Guilan including Rasht, Anzali, Rudbar, and Lahijan. Comparative analysis of the results from Zmap and Kijko-Sellovell approaches shows good consistency in the estimation of seismic parameters with the result of literature.

Published: September 2019

A number of numerical and experimental studies have been reported in recent literature to investigate the effects of infill walls on the seismic response of RC infilled frames. Many experimental studies used CFRP sheets as an external bracing system for retrofitting the infilled RC frames. It has been found that the common mode of failure of such retrofitted frames is the debonding of the CFRP-concrete adhesive material. In the current study, the behaviour of CFRP retrofitted infilled RC frames was investigated with a finite element micro model. In that model, a four-node shell element was used for modeling the concrete, infill panel and CFRP sheets. The interaction between concrete frame and infill panel was modelled using contact surfaces to allow the occurrence of separation and prevent penetration. Nonlinearities of the concrete, infill panel, steel and CFRP sheets were considered. To allow the occurrence of debonding mode of failure, the adhesive layer was modelled using cohesive surface-to-surface interaction model, which assumes that the failure of cohesive bond is characterized by progressive degradation of the cohesive stiffness, which is driven by a damage process based on the fracture energy. The proposed model was verified using experimental results from the literature. Results indicated that the cohesive model could capture the debonding mode of failure which has been observed experimentally. The validated micro model was used to investigate the effects of the strip end area, the anchor location and partial bonding of the CFRP sheet to the infill panel surface on the behaviour of infilled frames. The results of parametric study showed that, to get the highest efficiency of the CFRP retrofitted infilled frame, bonding about 25% only of the diagonal length from each end is sufficient to get the same behaviour of the totally bonded sheet.
Numerical Analysis of Energy Loss Coefficient in Pipe Contraction Using ANSYS CFX Software
Authors: Nosrati Kourosh , Tahershamsi Ahmad , Seyed Taheri Seyed Heja
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this study is the numerical analysis of energy loss coefficient in pipe contraction using ANSYS CFX software. To this end, the effect of the dimensionless parameters of Euler number, Reynolds number, and relative roughness on energy loss coefficient has been investigated and eventually an overall formula to determine the energy loss coefficient in these transitions has been provided. In order to solve the fluid turbulence equations in the pipe, standard K-Epsilon model has been used. For this purpose, first the geometry of pipe transitions was designed in 3-D, using Solid Works software, and then the transitions were meshed by ANSYS MESHING. The initial simulation of transitions including boundary conditions of outlet, inlet and wall, was carried out by a pre-processor called CFX-PRE. Furthermore, to solve the equations governing the fluid flow in the pipes (Navier-Stokes equations) the CFX-SOLVER was used. And finally, the results were extracted using a post-processor called CFD-POST.The results indicated that the energy loss coefficient, contrary to the findings of previous researchers, is not only related to transition geometry, but also is dependent on the Reynolds number, relative roughness of the wall and Euler number. By increasing the Reynolds Number and turbulence of fluid flow in transitions, the energy loss coefficient is reduced. Moreover, by increasing the relative roughness in the transition’s wall the energy loss coefficient is reduced. The increase in pressure fluctuation causes the increase of Euler number which leads to the linear increase of energy loss coefficient.

Published: September 2019

This paper presents Artificial Neural Network (ANN) prediction models that relate the safety factors of a quay wall against sliding, overturning and bearing capacity failure to the soil geotechnical properties, the geometry of the gravity hunched back quay walls and the loading conditions. In this study, a database of around 80000 hypothetical data sets was created using a conceptual model of a gravity hunched back quay wall with different geometries, loading conditions and geotechnical properties of the soil backfill and the wall foundation. To create this database a MATLAB aided program was written based on one of the most common manuals, OCDI (2002). Comparison between the results of the developed models and cases in the data bank indicates that the predictions are within a confidence interval of 95%. To evaluate the effect of each factor on these values of factor of safety, sensitivity analysis were performed and discussed. According to the performed sensitivity analysis, shear strength parameters of the soil behind and beneath the walls are the most important variables in predicting the safety factors.

Authors: Asadpour Hamid , Akhlaghi Tohid
Published: September 2019

One of the most important issues in the construction of highways, mountain and urban roads is known as slope stabilization. If the necessary actions for protection are not considered, it could lead to problems and events such as landslides, settlements and even destruction of roads. There are many methods for stabilizing slopes such as Gabion walls and Tiebacks. This study can be used as the beginning of a new synthetic method where the Gabion wall is combined with Tiebacks. Gabion walls and tiebacks can be known as the most flexible methods of slope stabilization methods, because of this reason, if they can be combined with each other, it should show very good results in front of dynamic and even static forces. This combination is the novel point of this research. In this study at first, the gabion wall will be analysed in different loading conditions, and then to deal with earthquake dynamic forces the tiebacks will be used to increase the gabion walls stability.The software that is used in this study is GEO5 software, nowadays this software can be introduced as one of the best slope stability analysis software's. The results of this study showed that the designed gabion wall could be stable in dense silty gravel soil (GM) in 8.5-meter slope, and with magnitude of 0.25 horizontal coefficient of Manjil earthquake, but in the same geometry and material condition and impact of 0.4 magnitude horizontal coefficient of Bam earthquake it couldn't be stable alone. In this condition four rows of 18 meter tiebacks could stable the gabion wall very well. In this model, under loading condition 3 (with horizontal and vertical pseudo-static coefficient of Bam earthquake) that had the most vertical pseudo-static coefficient, the 23-meter tieback anchors with 12-degree inclination respect to horizontal could stable the considered gabion wall. This result could show that, the combination of gabion walls with tieback anchors gives a satisfactory result and it is an efficient and helpful method for stability of slopes in front of earthquake and dynamic forces.

Structural Vulnerability assessment of historical buildings is very important to carry them to the future. Turkey is a rich country in terms of historic masterships mostly from Ottoman Empire, such as mosques, bathhouses, churches and aqueducts. Especially mosques are the common historical structures in turkey. Therefore, in the present study, structural vulnerability assessment of historical mosques in Turkey was carried out. One of the existing ones is considered as a sample building and structural vulnerability assessment was carried out on this building. The sample building was selected as Konak Mosque located in Izmir, Turkey. The mosque was structurally investigated through advanced approaches. The mosque, constructed in 1755 by Ottoman at very central location close by the clock tower, is little one decorated with blue tiles. The mosque is also nearby a historical bazaar where the main historical business stream line is located. Konak Mosque is one of these new styles in that age. It can be named as a signature historical building representing Islamic minimalist oriented architecture with its unique octagonal plan. In the present study, the building was modelled by using the Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software, SAP2000. Time history analyses were carried out using 10 different ground motion data. Displacements, base shear and stress values were interpreted and the results were displayed graphically and discussed. For probabilistic seismic risk assessment, fragility analyses were also carried out and the fragility curve and surface were sketched for the mosque. Saddle point was determined on the fragility surface.

Published: September 2019

Combustion of biomass is increasingly practiced for power generation. Unlike coal ash, the combustion ashes of biomass do not offer significant value in Portland cement concrete production. An experimental study was conducted in order to assess the value of the combustion ashes of different non-wood biomass types towards production of alkali activated binders for concrete production. The results indicated that concrete materials with a desired balance of fresh mix workability, set time and compressive strength can be produced used alkali activated non-wood biomass ash binders. Correlations were drawn between the concrete engineering properties and different non-wood biomass ash characteristics. It was found that statistically significant relationships exist between the concrete properties and the non-wood biomass ash degree of crystallinity and solubility. These two ash characteristics were also found to be correlated. It was concluded that the suitability of non-wood biomass ash for use in production of alkali activated concrete can be assessed based on its degree of crystallinity.

Authors: Pourahmadi Amirali , Ebadi Taghi , Nikazar Manouchehr
Published: September 2019

Today, various types of industrial waste are produced in different industries to meet human demands. Growth in quantity as well as complication in quality of these wastes are followed by the advance of technology. Management of such wastes need a proper identification and comprehensive understanding of the risk, emerging after the harmful characteristics of the wastes and negatively affect the human and environment health. Wastes risk ranking systems, in this regard, links between the industrial wastes indices and mathematical method/algorithm, being able at estimation of the risk level as well as comparison between the wastes of an industrial unit based on the risk level. Complexity of the method, high computational costs and lack of proper description of waste using selected indices in former studies has led to the proposal of an applicable and flexible method. In this study, the “TOPSIS Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method” was developed in order for ranking the risk of various industrial wastes. Totally, a number of 9 subsidiary indices on the human health and 11 subsidiary indices on the environment health was identified and employed. Finally, the proposed waste risk ranking system was used for ranking 9 types of identified industrial waste in three industrial section. Results show that the “TOPSIS MCDM”, due to the lack of complexities in method and limited computational costs, is an efficient and appropriate method for ranking industrial wastes.

Published: September 2019

Precast concrete segments used in shield tunnel linings are prone to damage in many situations. These damages can occur at different stages such as fabrication in segment factory, transportation to tunneling site, during tunneling process, and at serviceability stage. The aim of the present article is to study the damages inflicted on concrete segments during production and transportation, and to present a new classification of these damages throughout the two stages.  The developed classification is based on field observations and examinations of major subway and water conveyance mechanized shield tunnels of Iran, located in Tehran, Tabriz, Mashhad, Kermanshah (Nosood) and Isfahan (Golab). The quality of tunnel lining suffers from what, as a direct consequence of any damage to concrete segments, during production and transportation, which will be also discussed in this article. For further investigation, more than 250 concrete segments from Tehran subway line 3 and 350 segments of concrete segments from Tehran subway line 7 were selected and studied for a statistical analysis of chipping and crack, consecutively.  Absence of preventive measures to limit segment damages in precast segment factories is one of the main reasons for increased number of damaged concrete segments, and as a result, increased costs of tunnel construction at later stages. In this paper, production phase damages and factors contributing to these damages are studied. According to the findings of the study, the human (operator) error was the most important cause for chipping, and, time-dependent behavior of concrete was the essential reason in crack of precast segments. Eventually, final section of the article presents practical solutions for reduction of damages during fabrication and transportation of concrete segments.

Published: September 2019

Many buildings and heritages are yearly damaged due to new construction plans in vicinity of them. Current engineering practice in Iran lacks unfortunately regulations to enforce the designers of new buildings to re-evaluate the structural integrity of adjacent old buildings which are prone to unacceptable induced settlement and distortions. To damage assessment of old building, deflection ratio was used for unreinforced load-bearing wall (masonry) building. In this paper some practical methods like story limits for the new buildings according to the specification of old structure, improvement of shallow foundations and increasing the embedment depth of new foundations have been studied in order to decrease the settlement and undesirable effects of adjacent constructions. Parametric studies using numerical analysis, Flac3D, have paved the way how above mentioned methods can remedy the problem. So induced consolidation settlements due to new construction in adjacent building were studied.  In conclusion, increase of admissible story of new building up to one floor by increase of embedment depth as much as one meter and three floors by using of mat foundation instead of single footing were highlighted these methods.

Published: September 2019

Prestressing is widely used technic all over the world for constructions of buildings, bridges, towers, offshore structures etc. due to its efficiency and economy for achieving requirements of long span with small depth. It is used for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete structures for improving cracking loads and decreasing deflections due to service loads. There are two methods for prestressing (pre-tensioning and post-tensioning). In this paper, a three-dimensional nonlinear Finite Element (FE) method is used to determine the behaviour of Post-Tensioned (PT) concrete cantilever beams with different tendon profiles. Numerical analyses ANSYS package program is used for analysis of beams. The results from FE analysis is verified by experimental reference test result and good agreement is achieved. This paper is focused on the effect of different tendon profiles on the flexural behaviour of Bonded Post Tensioned (BPT) reinforced concrete cantilever beams. Six models with different tendon profiles are investigated. These models are without tendons, two tendons at the bottom, middle, top, parabolic tendons with one draped point and two draped points. Failure loads, deflections, and load versus deflection relationships for all models are examined and it is seen that the beam with one draped tendon profile shows a highest performance.
Study on the Rapid Drawdown and Its Effect on Portal Subsidence of Heybat Sultan Twin Tunnels in Kurdistan-Iraq
Authors: Daraei Rahman , M.A. Herki Bengin , H.Sherwani Aryan Far
Published: September 2019

The excavation of tunnels below the water table causes variations in the hydraulic level, pore pressure and effective stresses. In this regard, rapid drawdown is considered as a destructive phenomenon as to the change in the flow regime which has mostly been studied for the reservoirs of embankment dams. The rapid drawdown occurred at the upstream shell of the dam gives rise to increase in the pore pressure at the upstream shell. This is as a result of the incompliance between the water loss inside the shell and the reservoir water level. Hence, it would be more likely to have instability and sliding at the upstream slope on account of decrease in the effective stress. Lack of sufficient studies performed on this matter in tunnelling projects on the one hand and the knowledge on the most important parameter for decreasing the destructive effects of this phenomenon on the other hand necessitates performing further studies on this matter. To this end, the reasons for the occurrence as well as the affecting parameters were studied by modelling the large subsidence of the inlet portal of Heybat Sultan twin tunnels located in Kurdistan-Iraq making use of the variations of the groundwater boundary conditions under Phase2 code. The modelling results depict the importance of the drawdown rate and the permeability coefficient of the surrounding rock mass. In the interim, the rapid loss in the hydraulic gradient caused by the drainage of a considerable volume of precipitations into the tunnels led to the rapid decrease in the pore pressure and increase in the effective stresses up to total stress. This has resulted in the consolidation settlement in the tunnel portal.

Published: September 2019

Construction of tall buildings in societies is rising up for the increased population and limitation in horizontal expansion of cities. Therefore, behavior of these structures against earthquake essentially requires investigation. Recent research has shown that frequency content parameter of an earthquake has remarkable impacts on seismic response of buildings. This study aimed to investigate direct effects of frequency content on high – rise buildings. Thus, six Reinforced Concrete (RC) central core 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35- story buildings were built in open source software OpenSees, and their seismic behavior under seismic records with various frequency contents were investigated. In this research,  non – linear dynamic Time – History was carried out and also behavior of buildings was compared in drift, shear force of stories, and maximum displacement of stories. Results of Time – History analysis showed that low – frequency content records have the highest effects on buildings. Most of the responses of drift and displacement of stories pertained to low – frequency contents in low – rise 10 and 15-story buildings. Although the most shear force of stories was related to low – frequency contents, with increasing height of buildings, shear force of stories increased, too. So that under Kobe Japan record which has the lowest frequency content among all records in this paper. Maximum shear force of stories was 6840 ton in 10-story building, whereas it was 12332 ton in 35- story building.

Published: September 2019

As a lightweight fill material, expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam block has been successfully utilized in geotechnical applications due to its low density and high compressive strength. Understanding the modulus of elasticity and compressibility coefficient of sand-EPS is an aspect that has not been fully understood which may have a significant effect on the design and construction of geotechnical structures. In this study, an attempt has been made to understand the behavior of deformation characteristic parameters of sand-geofoam block combinations with different patterns, using a newly designed and fabricated large-scale oedometer apparatus. The influence of both different combinations of sand-EPS geofoam and relative densities of soil, on the stress-strain behavior and coefficient of volume compressibility under controlled conditions, are experimentally studied. Specimens of EPS geofoam with a density of 8 kg/m3 were tested in relative densities of 35% and 70% of sand under six different overburden pressures of 50 kPa, 100 kPa, 150 kPa, 200 kPa, 250 kPa, and 300 kPa. From the experimental results, it is observed that the settlement and volume compressibility coefficient substantially increased, as the thickness of EPS geofoam increases. Furthermore, utilization of thinner EPS layers with the constant volume fraction ratio of EPS led to the greater settlement.

Published: September 2019

The environmental impacts of the construction industry can be minimised through using waste and recycled materials to replace natural resources. Results are presented of an experimental study concerning capillary transport of water in concrete incorporating densified expanded polystyrene (EPS) as a novel aggregate. A new environmentally friendly technique of densifying was used to improve the resistance to segregation of EPS beads in concrete. Twelve concrete mixes with three different water/cement ratios of 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 with varying novel aggregate content ratios of 0, 30, 60 and 100% as partial replacement for natural aggregate by equivalent volume were prepared and tested. Total absorption, absorption by capillary action, and compressive strength was determined for the various concrete mixes at different curing times. The results indicated that there is an increase in total water absorption (WA) and capillary water absorption (CWA) and a decrease in compressive strength with increasing amounts of the novel aggregate in concrete. However, there is no significant difference between the CWA of control and concretes containing lower replacement level.
