title: Mapping the lithoceramic Claddings Conservation Status in a BIM Environment

description: Italian Modern Movement architecture is characterized above all by the research and use of innovative, experimental and autarkic materials. Lithoceramics is one of the most interesting and widespread cladding materials and represents the Italian reinterpretation of klinker, a very popular ceramic material in Germany and in the Netherlands. Despite the excellent technical performances of the ceramic cladding, increasingly frequent detachment episodes make maintenance interventions necessary on this building stock. Starting from a brief illustration of the characteristics of lithoceramics and of the most significant applications, the paper intends to present a BIM-based digitization methodology for mapping the conservation status of this fa็ade cladding technology, through exemplification on a significant case study. The BIM model contains all the information necessary for the mapping of the state of conservation, for the recovery and maintenance activities of the ceramic elements. The proposed methodology allows a faster and more efficient visualization of the present faults and proposes a targeted intervention system, in relation to the detected fault. This approach contributes to protect the historical connotation of this building heritage, favoring restoration and cleaning, reducing time and, consequently, costs of maintenance.

title: Mathematical Model and Simulation of Vehicle Platoon Overtaking Other Vehicle

description: A vehicle platoon is the method of grouping vehicles into platoon and driving synchronously. The vehicles in the platoon can travel safely in very small vehicle distance with the help of the mechanical and electric systems and thus, the traffic flow can be increased without any additional road construction. In this study, the interaction behavior between the vehicle platoon of three vehicles and the other vehicle is discussed. When the platoon of three vehicles overtakes the other vehicle, the vehicles in the platoon change the lane, overtake the preceding slow-travelling vehicle and changes the lane again. The vehicle velocity is controlled according to the vehicle following model (Bierley 1963, Chandler et. al. 1958, Gazis et. al. 1961, Helly 1959). The control models of vehicle velocity and behavior are defined in the mathematical model and discussed in the experiments of the robot vehicle. The results show that the model can make the platoon overtakes the other vehicle safely. In the near future, the model should be improved in order to enhance the safety and the efficiency of the vehicle platoon.

title: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND SHRINKAGE PROPERTIES OF THE CONCRETE WITH RECYCLED FINE AGGREGATE AND ADMIXTURE

description: In Japan, it is forecasted that massive amounts of concrete waste material will be generated in the future as a result of demolition of many buildings, and expansion of the use of recycled aggregate is expected. In this study, it was verified the effect when relatively large amount of admixture is mixed, a combination of recycled fine aggregate of different quality and various admixtures, combination of each admixture in order to realize high strength and high durability by using recycled aggregate. The increase in the drying shrinkage ratio due to the deterioration of the recycled fine aggregate quality was larger than the fluctuation due to the admixture mixing ratio and the drying shrinkage ratio was distributed by forming a group for each quality of recycled fine aggregate. In the relationship between the pore volume and the compressive strength, when evaluated with pore volume of 2 ?m or less in both cases, a good linear relationship could be confirmed. The relationship between the pore volume and the drying shrinkage rate was similar. Therefore, it was suggested that compressive strength and drying shrinkage ratio of mortar contained composite recycled fine aggregate and admixture could be predicted by evaluating with the pore volume of 2 ?m or less.

title: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WARM MIXED USING POLYMER RECLAIMED ASPHALT WITH NEW AGGREGATE (PRAP-WARM MIX)

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriated mixed proportion of asphalt concrete using Polymer Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, new aggregate and Advera (PRAP- Warm Mixed) that were mixed at warm temperature. Then the Mechanical Properties of new mixed asphalt concrete samples were tested following the standards of the Department of Highway, Thailand. In experimental design, the range of mixing temperature varied as 140บC, 145บC, 150บC, 155บC, and percentage of Advera added varied at 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35 percent by weight of aggregate. The engineering properties of PRAP samples obtained from this study showed that the optimum mixing ratio was 0.20 percent at 140บC has a Stability value of 2530 lbs, a flow of 12 in a particle size of VMA 16.2, a strength index, 85 percent of the test results are in line with the requirements of the Department of Highways. Then using 70 percent of PRAP-warm mix with 30 percent of new material at 140 ?C and add 0.20 percent of Advera that is the best-mixed proportion. The normal temperature of PMA mixing is higher than 170บC, in this case using PRAP-Warm mix can reduce temperature lesser than 150บC then this mixing process can save fuel consumption. Thus this study is useful for environmental perspectives.

title: Noise reduction due to vibration damping estimated by measurement of particle velocity

description: We proposed a new method to evaluate noise reduction due to damping treatment by using the particle velocity of sound measured directly in the vicinity of a vibrating object. Moreover, the proposed method was verified based on the comparison between vibration and particle velocity reductions. In Japan, a procedure to revamp old railway bridges, which had no specific fissure damages or serious corrosions, by applying to composite remodeling process have been widely used. During the process of such composite remodeling, we have often used magnetic rubber damper or rubber-latex mortar to reduce remarkable large power of structure-borne sound radiated from steel bridge of railway. This proposed method enables us to estimate precisely noise reduction of these countermeasures, because we grasp the behavior of sound radiated from the vibrating object in detail. In this paper, we present the results of laboratory and field experiments on the effects of noise reduction by using two magnetic rubber dampers, type-A and type-B. In the field measurement, the type-B more significantly reduced the sound radiated from vibrating beam. However, the reduction of radiated sound and that of vibration did not coincide. The reason was clarified from comparison between vibration and particle velocity, which occur due to vibrating a steel plate of simulated beam of bridge in laboratory experiment. Thus, the proposed method enables us to evaluate noise reduction precisely.

title: On The Reduction of Prestressing Force Near Supports in Partially Prestressed Concrete Flexural Members

description: Straight tendons in pretensioned members can cause high-tensile stresses in the concrete extreme fibers at end sections because of the absence of the bending stresses due to self-weight and superimposed loads and the dominance of the moment due to prestressing force alone. Accordingly, the concrete tensile stresses at the ends of a member prestressed with straight tendons may limit the service load capacity of the member. It is therefore important to establish limiting zone in the concrete section within which the prestressing force can be applied without causing tension in the extreme concrete fibers. Two practical methods are available to reduce the stresses at the end sections due to the prestressing force. The first method based on changing the eccentricity of some tendons by raising them towards the end zone. The second method is based on bond prevention by encasing some of the tendons in plastic sheathing, effectively moving the point of application of prestressing force inward toward midspan for part of tendons. The present study focuses on a proposed third method to reduce the effect of the prestressing force near end supports by using straight strands with limited initial prestressing value in compression zone. New equations were suggested for the cracking moment and the prestressing force which consider the prestressed tendons in compression zone.

title: PATHOLOGIES AND INTERVENTIONS FOR DEFENSIVE STRUCTURES: THE SAFEGUARD OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE.

description: Affecting the direction of the rapid urbanization due to the oil discovery and exportation, in the Gulf Regions, there is a perpetual dispute, between the construction of a new, modern identity and the advocacy of traditional architecture as a possible way to establish new relations with the local history and culture. In the struggle for the definition of a new architectural identity in the emerging Arab cities, this paper focuses on the action needed to preserve architectural heritage, with the aim of analyzing and comparing some significant examples of pathologies that affected the existing defensive structure in Qatar and the restoration works that were recently completed. The analysis of data and results made it possible to compare the different pathologies and the conducted interventions with the aim of defining an approach that is consistent and add value to the Arab culture in matters of conservation and re-use.

title: Practical Validation Measurements of a Physiological Status Monitoring Sensor in Real Construction Activities

description: The construction industry is one of the most hazardous industry and construction worker's health and safety in hot and humid weather conditions become a topic of a great interest for researchers and practitioners. Various physiological monitoring sensors have been employed to measure the physiological impacts of such weather conditions. However, the ability of these sensors to deal with the dynamic nature of the construction industry still under controversial arguments and there is a need to justify their applicability in real working conditions. This paper aims to investigate the accuracy of an off-the-shelf physiological monitoring sensor (Zephyr BioHarnessTM 3) in a real working environment when considering the impact of hot and humid weather conditions. Fifteen different construction workers participated in three site measurements, with monitoring two physiological parameters heart rate (HR) and breathing rate (BR). A non-parametric statistical test (Mann-Whitney) was applied to identify whether there is a significant difference between the medians of live data in the remote monitoring station and saved data of the sensor internal memories. The results showed that there are significant differences between live data and saved data. These differences were highly noticed in the third site measurements, as it included working in confined areas and trenches. The accuracy of live data is highly affected by types of activities and appropriate positions of the wireless connection devices (ECHO gate and repeater).

title: MassIVE MSV000087586 - A biomarker panel for risk of early respiratory failure following hematopoietic cell transplantation
title: Respiratory failure (RF) following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has a very high associated mortality. Biomarkers may allow for earlier intervention and the development of targeted therapies, however, there are no validated plasma biomarkers for RF following HCT. The objective of this study was to discover and validate early (days 7 and 14 post-HCT) prognostic biomarkers of RF that will discriminate which patients are likely to develop RF within the first 100 days post-HCT. Using a TMT-based discovery approach, we compared two pools of plasma obtained at day 14 after HCT with one pool from 15 patients with RF versus a second pool from 15 patients without RF. The two pools were subjected to high abundance protein depletion, proteolytic digestion, duplex TMT labeling, bRP HPLC fractionation, and tandem mass spectrometry. Data were analyzes in Proteome Discoverer v2.2. Six lead candidate proteins from this discovery, and previously identified in the literature, were then measured by ELISA in days 7 and 14 post-HCT samples in a training (n=213) and validation (n=119) cohorts.

title: PREQUALIFICATION METHOD STATEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION PROCUREMENT

description: The current competitive environment within the construction sector is increasingly difficult and challenging, leading all the main players to increase their focus and efforts upon procurement strategies and policies. Therefore, procurement practice is important in order to effectively perform and close out the construction process and meet stakeholders' needs. Starting from a deep analysis of procurement processes framed within the project life cycle, the research proposed the prequalification phase as a selection strategy necessary to identify the contractor. In order to select the project delivery system most suitable to the customer and the project to be developed, an operating procedure has been proposed, allowing who deals with procurement better ruling the purchasing processes. In the proposed procedure, each activity is defined through a general overview, the execution process and its tools. The outputs of the study are also sample documents and model forms that can be easily utilized assisting the procurement phase. Thus, since the procurement process has assumed increasing importance in the strategic planning of the construction industry, the aim of the research is to provide a prequalification method necessary to select the most suitable contractor before the tender, in order to reduce any risks during the entire construction process.

title: Reliability based multi-objective optimization of concrete mix parameters using NSGA II

description: This article presents a method to optimize concrete mix proportions with respect to different goals of economy and reliability or, equivalently, probability of failure. This method is based on a quadratic generalized ridge regression model to predict compressive strength of concrete for 28 days curing period and a linear regression model to predict cost of concrete. NSGA II is used to obtain reliable Pareto-optimal fronts with non-dominated solutions for different compressive strength requirements. Pareto-optimal fronts evolved by varying compressive strength requirements and probability of failure are analyzed. It is found that there is a nominal rise in cost as probability of failure decreases up to a certain limit for a given compressive strength requirement. However, there is a sharp rise in cost of concrete below that limit.

title: Remaining Strength Evaluation of Ferry Bridge Corroded Locally

description: This paper presents the results of a nonlinear finite element analysis to determine the remaining ultimate strength of a ferry bridge with local corrosion at the girder flange. The ultimate strength decreases with the corrosion thinning of the flange, when the corrosion damage locates at the center of the span. On the other hand, when the corrosion damage exists near the support, the ultimate strength did not decrease, which shows the repair of the flange thinning near the support is not so effective in strength rehabilitation of the bridge. The reason of these facts is
description: the collapse of the bridge is due to bending moment in the former case, but in the latter, it is due to not bending moment but shear force, therefore, flange thinning does not concern with the shear strength. Thus, rational maintenance will be possible after clarifying the collapse mode and the remaining strength of the bridge

title: Response of composite steel plate girder bridges subjected to debris fires

description: Bridge fires have been a serious concern for asset owners for decades. Considerable research work has been published on the assessment of bridges subjected to hydrocarbon fires and Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUI) fires like bushfires. However, the impact from fires that may have been generated due to onsite-accumulated debris, has been largely overlooked in the past. Prolonged duration of debris fires might well cause significant damage to the bridges, unless properly accounted during the design stage. The current study investigates the influence from debris-generated fires on steel girder bridges, using a reasonably validated advanced numerical modelling framework. Fire development was modelled first as a static, and then a travelling fire, using fire dynamic simulation (FDS) to capture the Adiabatic Surface Temperature (AST) development of the structure. The resulted AST was coupled with thermo-mechanical analysis using sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis procedure in ABAQUS. The numerical model was used to estimate the temperature and displacement development of the bridge. The outcome from the study will facilitate asset managers for conducting necessary risk assessments incorporating the influence of onsite flammable debris for bridges.

title: Retrofitting of RC Beams using Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete

description: Shear deficient structures have been strengthened or repaired by using various methods, e.g., external pre-stressing, shotcreting, steel plate bonding, polymer impregnation, fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs). But there were problems with each of the above techniques as the use of FRP gives sudden failure due to de-bonding, steel plates got corroded after some time and several losses in the case of external pre-stressing. To overcome all the above problems faced in different retrofitting techniques, a new cementitious material with ultra high performance characteristics like very high compressive strength (above 110 MPa), high tensile and flexural strength due to the addition of fibers, very less permeable and high workability i.e. UHP-FRC came into existence. In the present study, shear deficient RC beams initially stressed to a prefixed percentage, i.e. 60% of the ultimate failure load are retrofitted using UHP-FRC. Retrofitting is done using side face retrofitting. From the study it is seen that the ultimate load carrying capacity of RC beams retrofitted with UHP-FRC is significantly increased with side face retrofitting. Moreover, this technique also increased the ductility and energy absorption of RC beams which resulted in the usefulness of UHPFRC as a retrofitted material.
