USE OF RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE: A REVIEW Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 796-810 - 2013
Md. Safiuddin, U. Johnson Alengaram, Md. Moshiur Rahman, Md. Abdus Salam, Mohd Zamin Jumaat
The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in concrete as partial and full
replacements of natural coarse aggregate is growing interest in the construction
industry, as it reduces the demand for virgin aggregate. In addition, the use of
RCA leads to a possible solution to the environmental problem caused by concrete
waste and reduces the negative environmental impact of the aggregate extraction

MULTI-PERSON SELECTION OF THE BEST WIND TURBINE BASED ON THE MULTI-CRITERIA INTEGRATED ADDITIVE-MULTIPLICATIVE UTILITY FUNCTION Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 590-599 - 2014
Vygantas Bagočius, Edmundas Kazimieras Zavadskas, Zenonas Turskis
Energy generation and savings is a vital problem for the social and economic
development of a modern world. The construction of wind farms is a challenge of
crucial importance to Lithuania. Offshore wind farms are one of the
possibilities of the multiple use of marine space. Wind energy industry has
become the fastest growing renewable energy in the world. An offshore wind farm
is considered one o... hiện toàn bộ
ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC PROCESS TO MODEL SAFETY RISK IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 87-99 - 2021
Zhenhao Zhang, Wenbiao Li, Jianyu Yang
There are many factors leading to construction safety accident. The rule
presented under the influence of these factors should be a statistical random
rule. To reveal those random rules and study the probability prediction method
of construction safety accident, according to stochastic process theory, general
stochastic process, Markov process and normal process are respectively used to
simulate t... hiện toàn bộ
INFLUENCE OF INTERFACIAL TRANSITION ZONE ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF THE CONCRETE MANUFACTURED WITH RECYCLED CERAMIC AGGREGATE Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 83-93
César Medina, Wenzhong Zhu, Torsten Howind, María Isabel Sánchez de Rojas, Moisés Frı́as
The influence of the local micro-properties of the interfacial transition zone
(ITZ) on macro-properties on the behaviour concretes is studied for recycled
concretes made with 20% and 25% recycled ceramic aggregate from sanitary ware
waste. This study carried out using nanoindentation and SEM technique aims to
explore interface thickness and variations in its elastic modulus. The results
show that... hiện toàn bộ
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF TIMBER‐TO‐CONCRETE CONNECTIONS WITH INCLINED SCREWS Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 201-207 - 2007
Saulius Kavaliauskas, Audronis Kazimieras Kvedaras, Balys Valiūnas
The purpose of this paper is to adopt the Johansen's yielding theory as a
possibility to predict the ultimate load for timber‐to‐concrete joints using
self‐tapping threaded connectors screwed at an angle into the wood. The ultimate
load‐bearing capacity of a single connector is predicted to be when either the
stresses in the wood reach the plastic failure stress level or when a
combination of plas... hiện toàn bộ
CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR AND DECISION MAKING IN THE REFURBISHMENT INDUSTRY‐A DATA MINING APPROACH Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 75-84 - 2010
Chung-Fah Huang, Sung‐Lin Hsueh
The study of consumer behavior in the refurbishment industry is crucial to the
business operation of firms, but there is a lack of research in this regard.
With reference to the EKB model specific to consumer behavior, this paper
discusses the relationship among consumption characteristics, firm selection
behavior and satisfaction degree of refurbishment customers. 242 valid
questionnaire copies w... hiện toàn bộ
VERTICAL CAPACITY OF BUCKET FOUNDATIONS IN UNDRAINED SOIL Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 360-371 - 2014
Amin Barari, Lars Bo Ibsen
Offshore wind turbine structures are traditionally founded on gravity concrete
foundations or mono-piles. Bucket foundations were developed for the offshore
oil and gas industry and are now being used in wind turbine construction. The
loading in this application is characterized by a vertical load due to the
slender construction combined with horizontal forces inducing a large
overturning moment. ... hiện toàn bộ
EVALUATING FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF ASPHALT BINDERS AND MIXES CONTAINING DATE SEED ASH Tập 23 Số 8 - Trang 1164-1175
Ali Foroutan Mirhosseini, Amir Kavussi, Mohammad Hossain Jalal Kamali, Mohammad Mehdi Khabiri, Abolfazl Hassani
Fatigue is one of the most occurring distresses in asphalt pavements. Asphalt
binder plays a critical role in fatigue behavior of asphalt mixes. Modelling
and predicting fatigue behavior of binders will result in more fatigue resistant
mixes. In this research, possibility of using Date Seed Ash alongside two
commonly used additives (namely, a siliceous and a limestone) as bitumen
modifier were in... hiện toàn bộ
DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS IN BEAM-LIKE STRUCTURES BY ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 591-604
Kamil Aydin, Özgür Kişi
Applicability of artificial neural networks is examined in determining the
natural frequencies of intact beams and crack parameters of damaged beams.
Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis neural networks (RBNN) are
utilized for training and validation of input data. In the first part of the
study, the first four frequencies of free vibration are predicted based on beam
properties by the ne... hiện toàn bộ
