Published: February 2021

Quranic food, which defines as the food mentioned in the Holy Quran has gain attention
as a functional food to prevent disease in the current era. The food had high potential as an
excellent ingredient for the development of nutraceutical products. Flavonoid is one of the
phytochemicals in Quranic food that contribute to their therapeutic properties.
Unfortunately, there is less study on the health properties of Quranic food mixture that
lead to misunderstanding of the mixture of Quranic food. A paramount concern regarding
the addition of multiple bioactive ingredients into a product is the possibility of interaction
among elements may result in degradation of the ingredient, and the functionality could be
reduced or improved. Therefore, this study was aimed to optimize the flavonoid content of
Quranic Mixed Food (QMF) containing dates, raisins, pomegranates, figs, and honey.
Consequently, the special cubic model of simplex centroid design was employed as it was
the most reliable and can be utilized in the optimization process as the p-value was
significant, and the lack of fits was not substantial. The simplex centroid method had
successfully optimized the QMF formulation. To conclude, the optimized formulation of
flavonoid-rich QMF containing 42.88% raisins, 42.88% pomegranates, 13.97% honey,
0.17% dates, and 0.11% figs.

Published: February 2021

Despite the abundance of palm-based residues generated, the by-products from
thermochemical processing such as bio-oil may create value-added products to the palm
industry. The palm-based derived bio-oil contains high aromatic compounds, which are
active ingredients in the bio-pesticides formulation. Therefore, this study investigated the
formulation of the bio-pesticide from this bio-oil and determines their effect on insect-pest
in oil palm such as Metisa plana walker bagworm. Prior the formulation, preliminary
evaluation of the compatibility between bio-oil and surfactants such as Tween 20 and
Tween 80 as the bio-pesticides ingredient were evaluated using the ternary phase diagram.
The compatibility results showed the best formulation is at 20% of surfactant. Based on
these conditions, the experiment was formulated using an active ingredient (AI) called
azadirachtin extracted from neem seed. The formulated bio-pesticide was tested for its
effectiveness towards the mortality of the bagworm. The results showed that the
formulated bio-pesticide was able to repel 50% of the bagworm population, with a lethal
concentration (LC50) of 22.1 g/mL showing a good indicator as an effective repellent.
Hence, this study provided new knowledge for waste management towards zero waste
strategy for a better environment and sustainability.
Strengthening of steel girder bridges using coiled pins
Authors: Arason Magnús , Ragnarsson Guðmundur , Collin Peter , Hällmark Robert
Published: February 2021

A requirement for heavier vehicular transport on the Norwegian road network has resulted in a demand for increased bearing capacity for many of the older bridges in the country. Many of the bridges that have been found to have insufficient capacity against present-day demands are steel girder bridges with concrete slabs without a shear connection between steel and concrete. There is a large number of bridges of this type in Norway and the paper presents strengthening of two of those, in Aust-Agder county in the south of the country. These bridges are approximately 30 m long, single span. The bearing capacity has been upgraded by installing composite action between the steel girders and the concrete slab using coiled pins, in conjunction with thickening of the bottom flange of the steel girders. To obtain composite action, the pins are fitted to tightly drilled holes through the top flange of girders up into the concrete slab. Coiled pins have not been used much for bridge applications. In the work presented, the method has been found to have advantages in terms of cost and workability. Furthermore, the method has benefits when viewed from an environmental standpoint, since it allows strengthening of existing non-composite bridges using relatively little new material, and minimizes traffic disruptions.
Design Fire Scenarios for Railway Tunnel Fires
Authors: Hua Nan , Tessari Anthony F. , Elhami-Khorasani Negar
Published: February 2021

Extreme fire events in tunnels may have catastrophic consequences, which include loss of lives, structural damage, and major socioeconomic impacts. One of the primary factors that influences the level of damage is the demand fire scenario in a tunnel. A few standard hydrocarbon fire temperature-time curves exist, but they are idealized and do not consider the actual fire duration and fire spread inside the tunnel. Risk-based decision-making frameworks and performance-based design of tunnel linings require a more realistic set of fire scenarios compared to the standard fire curves. This paper focuses on a traveling fire model for a railway tunnel to evaluate temperature evolution considering fire spread between train cars. In this study, a series of numerical simulations are conducted in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a computational fluid dynamics software package. A parametric study with varying ventilation velocity, amount of fuel, tunnel slope, ignition point and criteria for fire spread is performed. The outcome of this work can be used in future to establish guidelines for design temperature demands within risk-based frameworks to minimize economic losses in railway tunnels in case of fire.
Rainwater Ponding on Roof Structures with Interaction between Main Girders and Purlins
Authors: Snijder H. H. (Bert) , Wijte S. N. M. (Simon)
Published: February 2021

Rainwater causes flat roofs to deflect resulting in ponding. Due to the deflection, extra rainwater flows to the lower area of the roof, resulting in a larger loading with a larger deflection, resulting in more rainwater flowing towards this area, etc. Failure of flat roof structures due to ponding under heavy rainfall frequently happens in The Netherlands with an average of 15 incidents each year in the last decades. An increase in rain intensity due to climate change is expected to increase these numbers in the near future. Nevertheless, ponding on light roof structures is still underestimated as a significant load case in design. Moreover, the design calculations necessary are complex due to geometrical non-linear behavior. A number of software programs are available, but to keep insight in the process of rainwater ponding, a simple analytical design method for ponding of flat (steel) roof structures was developed including the interaction between main girders and purlins. The paper presents this method which avoids an iterative calculation procedure. Subsequently, this method is used to analyze a roof structure concluding that the interaction between main girders and purlins cannot be neglected.

Authors: Kim Se-Jin , Kim Ho-Kyung
Published: February 2021

Risk assessment method of vehicle for strong wind on a bridge was developed with consideration of girder shape and wind environment. The method is composed of three steps. In first step, wind tunnel test is performed to estimate aerodynamic coefficients of a vehicle. Coefficients are estimated for every traffic lane on the bridge with consideration of various wind direction. Based on the results, critical wind speed curves of vehicles are calculated through vehicle dynamics analysis. Next step is wind environmental analysis. Utilizing long-term wind data obtained from nearby weather station, wind distribution functions are estimated. As a final step, number of days for traffic control, risk index in this study, is calculated using critical wind speed curves and wind distribution functions. The risk index is obtained not only for main span of the bridge, but also for all side spans or approaches. As a case study, Gwang-an bridge, one of long span bridge in Korea, was evaluated using developed assessment procedure. Risk index was calculated for all sections on the bridge, and mitigation measure was also discussed to ensure the vehicle safety.
Application of ultra-high performance concrete for thermal resistance materials
Authors: Hong Sung-Gul , Hong Namhee K. , Gu In-Young
Published: February 2021

This paper investigates the thermal resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) composites using different fillers of low thermal conductivity. The development of new concrete for energy saving facilities is more demanding for climate change threat to human. The use of UHPC composite with expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads as well as different fillers of low thermal conductivity has shown a viable option of architectural sandwich walls of insulation. The optimum fillers of thermal resistance for UHPC are determined by the tradeoff of compressive strength between heat conductivity. Better thermal properties of some UHPC composites make lower compressive strength of UHPC. To evaluate the varying thermal and mechanical characteristics of UHPC composites with the quantity of fillers, the method of volumetric substitution for UHPC was investigated in this paper. The UHPC composite of thermal resistance with comparable compressive strength can be possibly used for concrete blocks to transfer flexural compression force in efficient thermal breaker systems. Test results show that the strength of the concrete is greatly influenced by the curing method and the most important factors affecting the strength of concrete are curing temperature and curing time. Structural UHPC walls of thermal resistance serve as both load transfer and barrier to external temperature. To investigate the mechanical behavior of composite sandwich panels, the panels for the study are fabricated by new concrete as core and face sheets and the influence of the three components – the mechanical properties of the core material, the strength of the face sheet material, and the bond strength adhesive material – was evaluated. The flexural capacity of the specimens UHPC with EPS core showed high strength in a stable linear behavior before core cracking.
Experimental Research on an Assembled Steel Damping Device with the Large Temperature Displacement
Authors: Gao Hao , Wang Junjie
Published: February 2021

The cylinder-shaped damper is proved reliable in mechanical performance and every single-body can simultaneously provide bi-directional damping force. In order to take advantage of these benefits in the long- span bridge, an assembled steel damping device is developed in this paper. A fluid lock-up device is connected in series with a cylinder-shaped steel damper, which can meet the requirement of girders stretch out and draw back freely for large displacements under temperature load, and can control the bi-directional seismic vibration of the structure under earthquake load. A series of quasi-static tests were carried out on the steel damper, the fluid lock-up device and the assembled device. The test results show that a low force is generated to allow unrestricted motion at low translational speeds. Yet, when a transient event occurs, the lock-up device activates, and the steel damper can exhibit good hysteretic behavior due to its plastic deformation.

Bridge over the Vistula river in Toruń (Poland)
Authors: Wąchalski Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

The construction of the arch bridge in Toruń was one of the greatest and more spectacular engineering projects implemented during the recent years. In December 2013 the Poland’s largest arch bridge was completed and opened. The bridge has two spans, 270m long each, and is used as a bridge crossing over the Vistula river (Fig.1). The bridge is over 1.9 km long counting the access overbridges (viaducts). The erection procedure of the bridge was unique and individual, as the structural scale suggests. Generally, the assembly covered junction of arch elements on the assembly site near the Vistula river bank and the pontoon water transport of arch girders, which were settled on the arch abutments. A unique affordable structural solution deals with the support footing of a great number of small concrete pre-cast piles transferring a giant horizontal force into the subsoil. The steel-arch is modeled by a hingeless system without a tie, transferring horizontal force into supports. A original solution of assembly geometry control system and monitoring system was applicate to floating erection. Innovation was done of introducing material for the pot bearings, whose durability was 5-times longer than the ordinary ones. A novel slide material PTFE was used, the so-called grey teflon of improved abrasion ability. The new PTFE solutions were recently applied for the spherical bearings, but never they have been for the pot bearings. The bearings worked out an individual product specification, based on experiments conducted in the EU laboratory. The world's pioneering enterprise is application of a hundred pot bearings for the bridge and viaducts.
Static and Dynamic Strain Measurements using Sensing Sheets for Damage Detection

Published: February 2021

Damage detection in structures is an important part of structural health monitoring (SHM). Two approaches for detecting damages are indirect and direct sensing. Indirect sensing uses sparse array of sensors and complex algorithms to determine the extent and localization of damage. Crack initiation can best be captured with direct sensing as it provides resolved information about the anomalous behavior near cracks. Direct sensing, however, is expensive because of the need to install a large array of densely packed sensors. A novel solution developed recently is the use of two-dimensional sensing sheets designed to cover large areas of structures. Such sheets are based on large area electronics (LAE) with flexible thin film resistive strain sensors embedded in polyimide substrate along with the relevant electronics. This paper explores the use of sensing sheets for damage detection using static and dynamic measurement. Laboratory testing on aluminum beam is used to demonstrate the performance of these sheets in idealized conditions. Sensing sheets employed on a pedestrian bridge are used to evaluate their performance in real life condition where the strains measurements are compared with the fiber-optic sensors already present on the bridge. Finally, sources of measurement errors and limitations are discussed.

Published: February 2021

The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment is concerned with the safety of existing infrastructure and expected re-analysis of a large number of bridges and viaducts. Nonlinear finite element analysis can provide a tool to assess safety; a more realistic estimation of the existing safety can be obtained.

Dutch Guidelines, based on scientific research, general consensus among peers, and a long-term experience with nonlinear analysis, allow for a reduction of model and user factors and improve the robustness of nonlinear finite element analyses.

The 2017 version of the guidelines can be used for the finite element analysis of basic concrete structural elements like beams, girders and slabs, reinforced or prestressed. Existing structures, like box-girder structures, culverts and bridge decks with prestressed girders in composite structures can be analysed.

The guidelines have been developed with a two-fold purpose. First, to advice analysts on nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures. Second, to explain the choices made and to educate analysts, related to the responsibility of limiting model uncertainty.

This paper contains an overview of the latest version of the guideline and its latest validation extensions. Most important impact is the extended operational lifetime of an existing reinforced concrete slab structure.
Evaluation on anti-collision performance of multi-level bumper type anti-collision device
Authors: Guo Haoxin , Wang Junjie , Liu Chengdong
Published: February 2021

An innovative Multi-level bumper and energy-consuming system (MBES) with corrosion-resistant steel floating caisson is proposed as protective structures for bridge piers against ship collision in this paper. MBES is provided with a three-level anti-collision module which consists of a corrugated-type energy-absorbing base, rubber fender, corrosion-resistant steel box filled with pre-compressed rubber tire. MBES is assembled in segments, exhibiting good energy absorbing and highly designable properties. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MBES adopted in a continuous beam bridge using finite element models. Based on the numerical model, the oblique collision situation at different positions were studied. Numerical results indicate the obvious advantages of the device by comparing peak impact force and impact duration. Significantly decrement of the peak impact force and effectively prolonged impact process indicate the superior performance of the device. Multi-level anti-collision fortification, the modular fabrication and replacement, simple maintenance, strong self-floating ability and excellent corrosion resistance make MBES very effective as a bridge protection structure in ship collision.
Efficient Structural Design Using a Numerical Optimization Technique
Authors: Wang Qian , Schmotzer Lucas , Kim Yongwook
Published: February 2021

Structural designs of complex buildings and infrastructures have long been based on engineering experience and a trial-and-error approach. The structural performance is checked each time when a design is determined. An alternative strategy based on numerical optimization techniques can provide engineers an effective and efficient design approach. To achieve an optimal design, a finite element (FE) program is employed to calculate structural responses including forces and deformations. A gradient-based or gradient-free optimization method can be integrated with the FE program to guide the design iterations, until certain convergence criteria are met. Due to the iterative nature of the numerical optimization, a user programming is required to repeatedly access and modify input data and to collect output data of the FE program. In this study, an approximation method was developed so that the structural responses could be expressed as approximate functions, and that the accuracy of the functions could be adaptively improved. In the method, the FE program was not required to be directly looped in the optimization iterations. As a practical illustrative example, a 3D reinforced concrete building structure was optimized. The proposed method worked very well and optimal designs were found to reduce the torsional responses of the building.
Performance analysis on Twin-I girder bridges using hollow tubular top flanges
Authors: Zhang Yin , Ma Haiying , Zhang Huan , Xia Ye
Published: February 2021

Twin-I girder bridge systems have advantages including simplified construction process and less material cost. However, due to the weak torsion stiffness of I section, the systems using I-girders requires many cross frames and individual I girder cannot erect without interior cross frame installation. The use of I sections with a hollow tube as the top flange increase the torsion stiffness, which can improve the stability and strength of bridge systems. In the paper, twin-girder bridges systems using traditional I-girder and hollow tubular flanges are studied to provide the differences among them. The analysis results show that the stability of girder with hollow tubular flange is much larger than traditional I girder, which has less requirements for girder erection and needs of interior diaphragms of girder system. Parameters are studied including flange width-to-thickness ratio, web depth-to-thickness ratio and reasonable girder depth. Some recommendation for the design of steel I-girders using hollow tubular flanges are given.
Anchorages of stirrups under transverse tension in concrete - development of a design model
Authors: Medziti Mirhat , Zwicky Daia
Published: February 2021

According to Swiss code SIA 262 "Concrete structures", stirrups of reinforced concrete beams must "surround the tensile longitudinal reinforcement" and must "be anchored to mobilize the static height of internal forces". For existing concrete structures, Swiss code SIA 269/2 provides stirrup detailing requirements while limiting these directives for stirrup anchorage to the compression zone. In zones of negative bending, these requirements are often not satisfied for execution reasons. This question is addressed in a largely experimental Ra&D project. Anchorage tests were performed and analyzed, with a total of 144 tests on 9 concrete beams. These underwent a longitudinal tensile force up to 1’000 kN to simulate transverse cracking at stirrup anchorages in negative flexure zones. The study parameters are crack width (0, 0.4 and 0.9 mm), stirrup diameter (10 and 14 mm), bar ribbing (smooth and ribbed) and hook angle (90°, 135°, 180° and straight bars). A design model based on the "tension chord model" (TCM) developed at ETH Zurich is proposed. This simple and practical design model has proved ist effectiveness to consider bond effects. Reduction factors for bar diameter (kØ), relative bar ribbing (kfR), hook effect (kθ) and crack width (kw) were taken into account for calibration. Results of analytical calculations are coherent with experimental tests.
Modular CLT – Time to swallow the offsite pill
Authors: Neve Oliver
Published: February 2021

The threatening title of the United Kingdom’s 2016 Farmer Review ‘Modernise or Die’ was a stark prognosis for the construction industry likened to a sick or dying patient. The review recommended a shift towards pre- manufacture approaches and away from the traditional methods that we seem so reluctant to divert from. The paper recommends that Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is to be explored as the potential medicine required to cure the symptoms of a deteriorating industry.

The antidote comes in the form of modular cross laminated timber (CLT). Originally, CLT was associated with in-situ construction techniques, which are reliant on-site operations. The industry has since progressed to a hybrid state of using both in-situ techniques with some pre-fabrication. Modular CLT is the next step in the evolution of mass timber which looks to solve the housing crisis affecting multiple global cities in terms of sustainability, cost and speed.

The paper will look at:

The advantages and opportunities for modular CLT

Kathak dance is a prominent classical dance of northern India. Indian dances have seen enormous changes in the past few years, but the fact that remains is not only has there been a change in the movements and “abhinay prakar” or expressions but also light and stage management and the costumes.Kathak performing artists or the “kathakkas” as they were called were actually story tellers and were earlier the messengers of the king. Gradually this art of storytelling changed its track to become India’s most performed classical dance.In 10th century this dance became a way of tribute to the almighty and was popularly performed by the devdasis in various temples. Though they were not openly performed for the devotees at first but only for the idols of the deity. Since the dance was performed in privacy, there was no need of stage and light. It was assumed that the dance was performed to depict ones bhakti or devotion towards the god and for the god’s entertainment hence costume and jewellery were given special weightage. Blunt colours like red or green in fully covered lehenga; choli and dupatta were selected with loads of gold jewellery of all kinds.

Published: February 2021

This paper focuses on the nativization of English in China, using Pidgin English as a case study to put Chinese English variants under the theoretical framework of eco-linguistics, and put the ecological environment such as species competition, coexistence and co-evolution, etc. The natural phenomenon is compared with the existence of language phenomenon in the development process of China English represented by Pidgin English.The study found that as the spark of the collision of the two mainstream languages of Chinese and English, the Chinese English varieties play a very important role in the exchange and enrichment of the two languages and cultures. Although academic circles have different attitudes and opinions on Chinese English variants, their existence and development conform to the law of the development of things and are also inevitable in historical development. Blindly ignoring their objective existence will definitely bring adverse effects on the ecological balance of the language. We should face up to the existence of Chinese English variants, comply with the law of language development, and allow it to develop naturally, and make efforts to protect the ecological balance of the world’s languages.
