Microwave Technology, Its Use and Heating of Composite Aerated Concrete Blocks
Author(s) Jindřich Sobotka, Zdeněk Jiroušek, Táňa Švecová and Miloslav Novotný Abstract This paper aims to test the method of using microwave technology for drying aerated concrete masonry. Furthermore, the propagation of microwave technology through irradiated...
A Case Study on the Application of 3D Scanning Technology in Deformation Monitoring of Slope Stabilization Structure
Author(s) Fengxiao Yu, Jianpeng Tongb, Yipu Peng Li Chen and Shuangyu Wang Abstract Traditional deformation monitoring suffers from issues such as the point-based representation of surfaces and low measurement efficiency. Moreover, the majority of researchers...
How Flood Tunnels Work
Description Numerous cities globally optimise the utilisation of precious terrestrial land by capitalising on the subterranean space for mitigating flood risks. This video elaborates on the obstacles and resolutions linked with these colossal endeavours.
Using Perforated Cold-Formed Steel in Direct strength Design for Shear
Author(s) Duy Khanh Pham; Song Hong Pham, Viet Binh Pham, Cao Hung Pham Abstract In the current standards/specifications for cold-formed steel structures, the direct strength method (DSM) has not been developed for the shear strengths of perforated members,...
Numerical Modeling and Analysis of Strengthened Steel–Concrete Composite Beams in Sagging and Hogging Moment Regions
Author(s) yman El-Zohairy , Suzan Mustafa, Hesham Shaaban, Hani Salim and Abbas A. Allawi Abstract Strengthening of composite beams is highly needed to upgrade the capacities of existing beams. The strengthening methods can be classified as active or passive...
Seismic Performance of a New Precast Concrete Frame Joint with a Built-in Disc Spring
Author(s) Qi Chen, Yongjun Qin, Yi Xie & Chen Yang Abstract A new, precast concrete frame beam-column connection is designed in this research. The connection adopts the assembly mode of the precast column and seam area jointly to maintain the integrity of...
Design and Key Construction Technology of Steel-concrete-steel Sandwich Composite Pylon for a Large Span Cable-stayed Bridge
Author(s) Bida Pei, Aixiu Chong, Huan Xia & Xueyun Kang Abstract This paper introduces a new type of steel-concrete composite pylon that has been applied to Nanjing Fifth Yangtze River Bridge (a three-pylon cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 600 m)....
A new test method for freeze–thaw resistance of ballastless track structure concrete: experiment and model
Author(s) Xin Ge Yanbin Tan Sen Du Yongjiang Xie Yongjie Zheng Linxiang Li Lu Yang Abstract Existing methods for evaluating the resistance of concrete to freeze–thaw cycles might not be suitable for concrete used in ballastless track structures (BTSs). In this...
