title: RETROFITTING METHODS AGAINST FATIGUE CRACKING IN STEEL GIRDER WEB PENETRATION

description: Fatigue cracking in steel girder web penetration details is so dangerous that it can break steel girders. Since a number of highway bridges have such web penetration details in Japan, it is of urgent importance to grasp these fatigue strength properties and develop effective retrofitting methods. In a previous report, we investigated the stress distributions around web penetration details, and fatigue cracking behavior, using steel girder specimens with web penetration details. In this study, we investigate effects of retrofitting methods against fatigue cracking in web penetration details through fatigue tests using large girder specimens with web penetration details in which cross beam lower flanges are connected to lower surface of a slot by welding. Principal results obtained through this study are as follows: (1) Weld toe grinding can extend fatigue life more than 5 times, (2) Two-face attachment can extend fatigue life more than 10 times, and (3) Two-face attachment with weld toe grinding can extend fatigue life more than 25 times.

title: REUSE OF GLASS AND CLAY BRICK WASTES AS SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL AGGREGATE IN GREEN CONCRETE

description: Utilization of recycled waste materials in making concrete is identified as a sustainable means of managing wastes, thereby reducing the energy consumption, preserving the environment and conserving of natural resources from depletion. Researchers referred to this type of concrete as "green" concrete. This study examines the possible reusing of crushed waste glass as partial and complete substitute for natural aggregates in production of moderate strength green concrete with the addition of ground clay brick as admixture. The clay bricks were obtained as generated wastes from the ceramic and brick producing factory, while the glass wastes were sourced from dump sites and waste collection points within Ota, Nigeria. The waste glass varied from 25%  100% in steps of 25%, and the ground clay brick was added in 10%, 15% and 20% by mass of Portland cement into the concrete mixes. Tests, which include workability and characteristics strength were carried out on the concrete specimens. Microstructural examination was performed on selected concrete specimens. Results indicate reduction in workability with increased waste glass and clay brick powder content. Moreover, the characteristic compressive strength of the concrete specimens increased with curing age, however, concrete mixes containing 10% clay brick powder and 25% waste glass aggregate showed significant improvement in strength at curing age of 28 days than the control concrete.

title: REVIEWING GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES ON IMPLEMENTING SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION

description: Sectoral development activities, lack of standards on eco-systematic approach, prioritizing short-term outcomes, and ignoring the holistic and comprehensive prospects of sustainability have led to environmental degradation. Therefore, the Indonesian government has realized the importance of implementing sustainable development concepts in every phase of infrastructure project life-cycle. This paper reviews the existing government regulations on sustainable construction implementation guidelines, which underlie the execution of infrastructure project throughout five phases of project life-cycle, namely (1) programming, (2) technical planning, (3) construction execution, (4) utilization, and (5) demolition. A relook at existing regulation in term of providing more technical concepts on implementing the sustainable principles throughout the infrastructure project life-cycle is necessary to help both the construction services users and providers in implementing sustainable construction principles in Indonesia. The outcome of this review can serve as a guide to develop a technical concept for the implementation of the sustainable construction in infrastructure projects in order to create sustainable development in Indonesia

title: REVISITING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS IN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

description: Artificial neural networks have been widely used for modeling and simulation of different problems in the construction industry, including, but not limited to, regression, clustering, and classification. They provide solutions for complex problems where other modeling methods often fail. For instance, they can capture nonlinear and complex relationships between the variables while many traditional modeling methods fail. However, they have their own limitations. They often can only be trained for a specific problem with a predetermined number of inputs and outputs. As a result, any change that requires an update in the architecture of the network cannot be automatically done and require human intervention. The recent developments in the field of artificial neural networks resulted in new concepts such as neural architecture search, reinforcement learning, and neuroevolution. These new areas can provide new methods for solving past and existing problems facing the construction industry in a more efficient, elegant, and versatile manner. One of the main contributions of the recent developments is networks that can optimize their own architecture and networks that are able to evolve and change their architecture. This paper aims to briefly review the application areas of the artificial neural networks in construction engineering and management and discuss how the recent developments in this field can be applied and provide better solutions.

title: RHEOLOGY OF SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE USED FOR SUPERTALL BUILDINGS

description: Nowadays, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is widely being used for supertall building construction in Vietnam. With high workability, SCC allows us to speed up pumping, placing, and surface finishing, which results in a reduction in building cost. Popular methods such as slump flow, T500, and V funnel test are used to indirectly determine rheological properties of SCC. However, these methods do not present yield stress and plastic viscosity, which are the most parameters affecting the pumping property. In this paper, the SCC rheology is determined directly through yield stress and plastic viscosity with the flow curve test and stress growth test by using the rheometer equipment. Thereby, limitation of the yield stress and the plastic viscosity is recommended for vertically pumping to supertall building project without segregation and bleeding.

title: ROLE OF INDUSTRY EMPLOYERS IN FOSTERING EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

description: Graduate skills and employability discussions have continued to be a contentious issue for both international and local employers. The concerns of industry employers stem from their inability to acquire graduates with the requisite skills and competencies to effectively solve arising industry problems. This concern has led employers to cast blames on higher education institutions (HEIs), who they feel are responsible for the development of these skills which employers continuously seek from fresh graduates. Subsequently, present-day employers have sought innovative ways to train and re-train new employees to help ease their transition into the world of work. This paper identifies the various approaches and ways by which industry employers develop the required skills of graduates. An extant review of literature was conducted from databases such as Academic Search Complete, ASCE conference proceedings, EBSCOhost, Emerald, ERIC, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer, Taylor and Francis online, amongst others. One of the primary findings stemming from this study revealed that in-house training, job rotation, coaching and mentoring, and cross-functional teams are some of the key approaches by which industry employers can develop skills and competencies among fresh graduates. This study concludes that HEIs are not solely responsible for the development of employability skills among graduates, but reckons that both the employers of labour and graduates themselves have a crucial role to play in the construction education discourse.

title: SCRAP TIRE RUBBER-BASED AGGREGATE IN LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE

description: Reusing rubber particles from used tires is good for the environment and, moreover, the world's population is becoming progressively conscious that a very high demand for natural resources is unsustainable. As the concrete industry consumes high amounts of natural resources, both for clinkering and gravel aggregate production, one must focus on its sustainability, considering environmental and economic issues. Therefore, reuse of waste tire rubber in concrete or in other composite materials is a logical solution for sustainable production of construction materials. Hence, the paper is aimed at the development and testing of lightweight concrete composed of a high volume of crushed waste tire rubber used as partial replacement of natural silica aggregate. In order to access the effect of incorporation waste tire rubber-based aggregate in concrete composition, reference concrete mix based on silica aggregate only is studied as well. The crushed waste tire rubber is characterized by its powder density, specific density, and particle size distribution. Specific attention is paid to thermal transport and storage properties of waste rubber that are examined in dependence on compaction time. For the developed lightweight concrete, mechanical, hygric, and thermal properties are tested. The tested lightweight concrete is found to be alternative and environmentally friendly construction material possessing improved thermal insulation function, interesting hygric parameters and sufficient mechanical resistance.

title: SEISMIC DESIGN EVALUATION OF LIQUID-FILLED STIFFENED STEEL CYLINDRICAL TANKS

description: This paper aims to estimate dynamic buckling loads of cylindrical liquid storage tanks. Finite element analysis is performed using ANSYS computer program. Twelve different geometries of the cylindrical tanks are analyzed with height to diameter (H/D) ratios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 and the diameter to thickness (D/t) ratios of 1000, 1500, and 2000 to cover tall and short cylindrical tanks. The dynamic buckling capacities of cylindrical tanks filled with water up to 90% of their height are investigated in this study. The transient dynamic analysis is performed to find the dynamic buckling loads. Applied dynamic loads in this study are horizontal earthquake excitations in terms of acceleration (g) due to gravity. The transient dynamic analysis results indicate that the dynamic buckling loads decrease when the H/D ratios increase, and the dynamic buckling loads decrease when the D/t ratios increase. Design curves for the cylindrical tanks of various geometries subjected to earthquake accelerations are generated.

title: SEISMIC DESIGN OF FRAME STRUCTURES EQUIPPED WITH INNOVATIVE HYSTERETIC DISSIPATIVE DEVICES

description: In the present work, a Performance-Based Seismic Design procedure applied to multistorey frame structures with innovative hysteretic diagonal steel devices (called Crescent Shaped Braces or CSB) is introduced. CSBs are steel elements of peculiar geometrical shapes that can be adopted in frame buildings as enhanced hysteretic diagonal braces. Based on their "boomerang" configuration and placement inside the frame structure, they are characterized by a lateral stiffness uncoupled from the yield strength and, if properly inserted, by an overall symmetric hysteretic behavior with hardening response at large drifts, thus preventing from global structural instability due to second-order effects. The procedure here presented is intended to guide the structural engineer through all the steps of the design process, from the selection of the performance objectives to the preliminary sizing of the CSB devices, up to the final design configuration. The steps are described in detail through the development of an applicative example.

title: SEISMIC EVALUATION OF SQUARE HSS BRACES IN SCBF USING REGRESSION ANALYSIS

description: Since the 1990s, structural engineering practice geared toward the use of hollow structural sections (HSS), notably square HSS, for their economy, and ease of design and construction. According to the AISC Seismic Provisions, during a severe earthquake, these braces could undergo post-buckling axial deformations 10 to 20 times their yielding deformation. However, recent experimental studies indicate that braces made of square HSS, depending on their size, width-to-thickness, and slenderness ratio, are vulnerable to fracture even prior to 10. Therefore, relying on past experimental studies comprised of a few square HSS specimens to develop seismic requirements for SCBF with square HSS could lead to underestimation of the seismic risk. This paper aims to evaluate the fracture risk of braces in existing SCBFs designed in accordance with AISC 341-05 and AISC 341-16 through incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) along with experimentally developed regression model that estimates fracture.

title: SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PILOTI-TYPE BUILDINGS AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE

description: On November 15, 2017, the second strongest earthquake occurred in Korea, which was 5.4 in size on the Richter Scale. The duration of the earthquake was short, but the damage was serious. Two recent earthquakes have shown that our country is no longer safe from earthquakes. However, to date, Korean structures are showing a low earthquake resistance, and seismic retrofitting is necessary in preparation for a largescale earthquake. In this study, reinforcing effect of steel slit damper was analyzed based on the dynamic test results of the previously studied reinforced concrete frame. After that, push over analysis and nonlinear time history analysis using OpenSees were selected for the residential piloti-type building as the target building. In the above Korean earthquake, the damage to the piloti-type building was conspicuous. Through analysis, the vulnerable part of the piloti-type building was identified and the seismic strengthening with the steel slit damper was carried out.

title: SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF STRUCTURAL FRAMES AND JOINTS IN WOOD TALL BUILDINGS

description: There has been a growing interest in using wood in tall buildings by employing crosslaminated timber (CLT) in a structure's moment frame system. However, still much needs to be learned about the performance of CLT frame systems subject to lateral loads such as earthquakes. The ductility needed in CLT frames in seismic load environments is primarily provided through connections. Thus, a proper connection detail is required to ensure an adequate seismic response, especially at extreme loads. Current strength specifications of connectors are mainly applicable in cases of pure tension or shear
description: while in real applications, connections are subjected to a combination of these loads. This paper is part of analytical and simulation studies on seismic performance of wood structural frames being conducted at Illinois Institute of Technology. These studies include simulations to investigate: (1) Moment-resistance capacity of CLT panels
description: and (2) Resistance capacity of typical joints used in CLT frame systems. Limited experimental data available on a 6-story wood frame system are considered as a means of verification of the aforementioned analytical investigations. Focus of this paper is specifically on the significance of interaction between tension and shear as reported in literature. Several interaction equations as implemented in current analytical models for pushover analysis of CLT frames are explained and their adequacy to predict the nonlinear behavior of CLT panels under lateral loads is discussed.

title: SEMI-COMPOSITE STRUCTURES FOR SEWER RENOVATION

description: In the composite pipe construction method defined in the Japan Sewage Works Association's Design and Construction Guidelines for Sewer Pipe Rehabilitation, a liner pipe is constructed inside an existing sewer and the annular space behind the liner is filled with cementitious grout under pressure to form a highly integrated structure. The Guidelines for sewer renovation in Japan define a composite pipe as a composite structure that requires complete integration between liner materials and an existing pipe. However, in general, owing to the refinement of the small and enclosed working space inside sewers and the significant extension of the pipe to be renovated, mechanical shear connectors are not used to rigidly connect a renovation layer with an existing pipe. To fully explore the advantages of the composite pipe method in sewer renovation while maintaining safe design, a semi-composite structure has been applied in the renovation design of aging sewers using nonlinear FEM analysis for more than 50 sewers (over a total length of 300 km), primarily in big cities in Japan. This paper focuses on the mechanics of the structure.
