Development of a Conceptual Framework for Effective Quality Management Practices in Construction Organisations
Authors: Odiba E , Demian P , Ruikar K 
Published: August 2021

Effective quality management practices are critical to successful project delivery. However, the quality challenges in developing countries such as Nigeria, which is the focus of this research, have been a concern to construction practitioners and other interested parties such as clients and regulatory bodies. Some scholars suggest that part of these challenges can be attributed to ineffective quality management systems; thus, leading to consequences such as building collapse, poor organisational/industry reputation, poor/lack of traceability, poor documentation process, and lack of planned audit. This research aims to develop a contextual model that is intended to improve the culture of quality that can facilitate effective quality management practices in construction organisations in Nigeria. A mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methodological approach was deployed based on a pragmatic research philosophy paradigm. A questionnaire (quantitative) survey was adopted to gather data and results from the data analysis and reviewed literature were discussed, and the findings supported the development of a conceptual quality management model in construction as the outcome of this research. The designed model comprises eight integrated components. The model is a quality system that construction organisations can use: to identify some typical barriers hindering effective QMSs implementation; to assist them to develop cultural values that can drive effective QMSs implementation; to undertake effective QMSs practices as they relate to construction, and to recognise the potential results and longer-term benefits obtainable from implementing effective QMSs. The model was evaluated and validated by professional construction practitioners and academic experts for its usefulness and applicability. Future study should focus on the practical validation of the model.

Full-Wavefield, Full-Domain Deterministic Modeling of Shallow Low-Magnitude Events for Improving Regional Ground-Motion Predictions
Authors: Yuan Yanhua O. , Lacasse Martin-D. , Liu Fushen 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTAt the fundamental level, seismic risk analysis relies on good modeling tools for predicting the ground motion resulting from hypothetical earthquake events, which is traditionally approximated using many variations of ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs). The main benefit of these equations lies in their low computational cost, allowing one to run Monte Carlo simulations in which event probabilities are dictated by regional catalogs comprising historical observations. These equations, however, rely on approximations that are only accurate in a statistical sense. In this study, we consider cases in which regional high-resolution 3D earth models are available from exploration reflection seismology. These high-fidelity velocity models allow us to perform deterministic elastic ground-motion simulations at local distances, given a prescribed synthetic earthquake event, and compare the results with those predicted by GMPEs. This full-wavefield full-domain modeling approach is significantly more costly and particularly challenging due to the slow shear-wave velocity at the near surface, which requires fine spatial and temporal discretizations. With the aid of powerful computational resources, we use an adaptive mesh generator and an efficient wave solver to model the 3D elastic and anelastic wave propagation from the hypocenter all the way to the ground surface. This approach can simultaneously account for 3D subsurface structures, near-surface site effects, topographic relief, and the radiation pattern of the source. In areas where observations are sparse, the modeling results can fill the gap between stations and provide a test bed that can be used for improving the development and accuracy of GMPEs. This approach is well suited for areas where shallow low-magnitude-induced seismic events can occur. Lastly, to demonstrate our approach, we consider an observed seismic event at the Groningen gas field and compare the recorded ground motions with both—those predicted by our approach and those predicted by GMPEs.
Stochastic Finite-Fault Simulation of the Ms 7.0 Lushan Earthquake Based on Frequency- and Distance-Dependent Radiation Patterns

Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTThe stochastic finite-fault method (EXSIM) has been extensively used for simulating ground motion at high frequencies. However, its poor performance in low-frequency simulations is a limiting factor that restricts its engineering application. Refining the representation of the radiation pattern in the finite-fault method is an effective strategy to improve low-frequency simulations; to this end, a frequency-dependent radiation pattern has been considered by several researchers. However, this strategy fails to provide an accurate simulation of seismic-wave propagation at distances beyond the near-fault region. Researchers have proposed various approaches for characterizing the radiation pattern variation with distance. This study introduces frequency- and distance-dependent radiation patterns of S waves to the EXSIM. The near-field acceleration records in the east–west and north–south directions of the 2013 Ms 7.0 Lushan earthquake were reconstructed. The proposed method was verified by: (1) comparing broadband simulation results obtained by the improved method with observed results, (2) conducting a misfit analysis to compare the model bias between the improved and original methods, and (3) comparing the observed and simulated peak ground acceleration data with the predicted values of the ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) to verify the effectiveness of the GMPEs in describing the regional ground-motion attenuation. The results indicated that the 5%-damped pseudo spectral accelerations at high frequencies (1–20 Hz) and acceleration time history simulated by the improved method were consistent with the observed values. Furthermore, the improved method effectively optimizes the simulation effect at low frequencies (0.05–1 Hz) compared with the original method. Thus, the improvement in the representation of the radiation pattern in EXSIM can better estimate broadband ground motion in the study area.

Published: August 2021

Este artículo presenta un análisis de curvas de Covid-19 en Colombia utilizando ajuste por mínimos cuadrados. Tomados los datos de contagios, recuperados y fallecidos de Covid-19 en Colombia entre marzo y abril, se realizó un modelamiento. Sumando los datos de mayo, junio y julio, se realizó un segundo modelamiento. Se realizaron predicciones que fueron comparadas con los datos reales de la pandemia para validar el pronóstico. Finalmente se hizo un tercer modelamiento, sumando los datos del mes de agosto y se realizaron predicciones para septiembre. Los coeficientes de determinación para los primeros dos modelamientos estuvieron en un rango entre 0.7124 y 0.9985, y para el tercer modelamiento entre 0.9524 y 0.9955. Finalmente se concluye que la Covid-19 en Colombia ha seguido los pronósticos establecidos por los modelos más acertados de este estudio con errores inferiores al 7%; de seguir así, se espera una mitigación de la pandemia para inicios de septiembre, pero un aumento de contagios para finales del mismo. Se recomienda guardar los protocolos de bioseguridad establecidos por el gobierno y reforzar las medidas de prevención en caso de presenciar el inicio de dicho aumento a mediados de septiembre.

The main purpose of this work was to describe and validate a new methodology for the determination of a brandy reactivity index (BRI) towards flavan-3-ol compounds in wines (catechins and condensed tannins) and to correlate this index with the amount and type of aldehydes present in those brandies. This new method consists of two main reactions: a) the ability of aldehydes to react with C8 and/or C6 positions in the phloroglucinol ring of a catechin present in excess (A ring); b) further reaction of the remaining free catechin with p-dimethylaminocinamaldehyde (DMACA) yielding to the formation of a blue compound that can be quantified by Visible spectroscopy at 640 nm. The impact of different experimental conditions such as reagent concentrations and reaction time on BRI were also evaluated. The method was validated through the determination of repeatability (intra-day variability) and reproducibility. The repeatability was considered acceptable with a CV of 11.87 %. The analysis of the reproducibility variance, S2R (11.59), the reproducibility limit R (9.5) and the reproducibility coefficient of variation, CVR (15.25 %) postulates BRI methodology to be reliable and robust.Using the developed methodology, the BRI of fourteen different commercial brandies and some pure standards aldehydes were determined. The aldehydes present in brandies, and the content of total aldehydes were determined by GC-MS and then correlated with the BRI. In general, it was observed a direct correlation between the BRI and the concentration of total aldehydes, in particular acetaldehyde.
