The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of MgO on alkali-activated slagrice husk ash paste. The mixtures were prepared with GGBFS replaced with10% RHA and modified by 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% MgO. Then these mixtures were compared to the reference mixture (without RHA and MgO content). The properties of paste were tested by flow, compressive strength, thermal conductivity and UPV analysis. In terms of finding, using RHA and MgO remarkably reduced the workability of AASR paste. In additions, the mere use of 10% RHA slightly reduced the strength of paste. However, adding MgO significantly accelerated the hydration of AASR samples in the early age and improved the strength and engineering properties of AASR paste samples. Key words—rice husk ash, Magnesium oxide, compressive strength, Engineering properties, alkali-activated slag

— Rocking columns have been used in ancient civilization in the form of large stone columns supporting massive stones above them in seismically active regions such as Greece and Rome; however, their behavior under earthquakes is not well investigated using modern computer simulation technologies. Rocking columns generate a form of seismic isolation of earthquake forces and unlike conventional seismic isolators, rocking columns do not have a constant period of rocking. The natural frequency and stiffness of a rocking column changes based on the amount of horizontal displacement. Therefore, the system over rocking columns has ever changing natural (fundamental) frequency and does not get into a resonance state with the dominant earthquake frequencies. This paper includes a detailed investigation of rocking columns by using nonlinear and large deformation analysis techniques, which were compared and validated against rocking columns in the lab. The verification process enabled simulation of full-size rocking columns of modern buildings.

— As the excavation depth of underground engineering increases, the engineering becomes more and more complex. The splitting failure of underground caverns of large hydropower station is a common phenomenon that was not accounted for theoretically so far, which is one of the important factors affecting the safety of underground construction and the long time running stability. Long-term load conditions and great depth are considered to be the main factors that lead to the creep deformation of underground hard rock mass. Therefore creep tests under long-term load conditions are conducted for the purpose of studying the creep properties of the deep hard rock mass. An important hydropower station is taken as the research background project, and the Granite is taken as the research object to carry out the long-term creep test. During the test, the effect of long-term load conditions of hard rock is mainly recorded. Based on the results of the systematic analysis, it is concluded that the mechanical properties of granite are largely affected by high stress: (1) The creep process of granite can be divided into three stages: the transient creep, the steady creep, and the accelerated creep, with different strain rate in each creep region. (2) The granite generates instantaneous deformation at every loading level, the higher the confining pressure, the greater the initial transient strain. (3) The creep deformations of specimens increase with time and stress, it begins to appear an obvious creep deformation when the stress level reaches a certain value, the higher the confining pressure, the greater the creep deformation, and the earlier the creep phenomenon. (4) The higher the confining pressure, the shorter the creep duration, and the more liable to be broken. (5) With the increase of confining pressure, the rock tends to shear failure.

Wind barriers are the efficient and simplest devices for the wind protection of vehicle. To investigate the dynamic responses of vehicle passes through the transition section of wind barriers, a high-speed railway simplysupported beam bridge was taken as the research object. Aerodynamic characteristics of vehicle-bridge system were tested in wind tunnel tests, and the effects of wind barrier porosities were considered. The wind-vehicle-bridge (WVB) coupling analysis was conducted by Dummy Body Coupling (DBC) method. The results show that dynamic responses of the vehicle generally tend to increase with the increase in speed. In the wind barrier section, the dynamic responses would decrease, accounting for the wind shielding effects. The lateral and vertical accelerations are sensitive to the sudden changes of wind loads due to the wind barrier, while the lateral force and reduction rate of wheel load have little sudden change when the vehicle enters and leaves the wind barrier section.

—Maximum Residual Inter-story Drift Ratio (RIDR max ) plays an important role to specify the state of a structure after severe earthquake and the possibility of repairing the structure. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the RIDR max of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames (SMRFs) with high reliability by employing powerful Intensity Measures (IMs). This study investigates the efficiency and sufficiency of scalar-valued IMs for predicting RIDR max of two sets of the 3-Story, 6-Story, and 9-Story SMRFs with and without using linear Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs). Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) was performed with considering RIDR max as engineering demand parameters using Opensees. Results of analysis showed that two scalar-valued IMs of IM M (α=0.5 ) and Sa avg M-D had lower values of the variations of standard deviation of natural logarithm of IM of RIDR max , σlnIM RD , which shows the efficiency of these IMs. Moreover, these scalar-valued IMs achieved higher p - values with respect to seismic ground motion features of M, R, and Vs30, which shows the sufficiency of assumed IMs. Therefore, two scalar-valued IMs of IM M (α=0.5) and Sa avg M-D are proposed as optimal scalar-valued IMs for predicting the RIDR max of SMRFs

—Most of the health facilities in Egypt neglect the importance of human connection with the surrounding nature, which results in multiple physical, psychological, and emotional problems such as stress, lack of concentration, fatigue, and a decrease in performance. To overcome this problem, this paper suggests a hybrid approach combining Biophilic design and BIM. This approach combines both Biophilic design and BIM through a restorative environmental design concept to combine both environmental and human aspects. This study's results develop a checklist that assesses Biophilic design patterns that exist in buildings by analyzing the KTPH case example. In addition to exploring a framework for Building Information Modeling (BIM) to be used with sustainability assessment methods in buildings. The paper concludes with the importance of the human-nature relation and how to apply this approach in Egypt, in addition to theoretically combining Biophilic design and BIM.

—The physico-chemical and durability properties of the concrete depend on how efficiently the curing process occurs. Cement particles undergo a series of chemical reactions with water molecules to form several cement hydration products during curing. However, the low water to cement ratio in concretes, such as high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-HPC with supplementary cementitious materials, lack enough water molecules for the curing process to complete, resulting in autogenous shrinkage and hence early age micro cracking. Mitigation of shrinkage is a mandatory requirement in sustainable construction projects, which can be achieved through proper curing of HPC. This paper reports the effects of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) as internal curing material on the properties of hardened HPC monitored by N 2 - adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FT-IR spectroscopy after 28 days of curing in water and air. The N 2 adsorption analysis showed an increase in total porosity of the specimens with SAP due to the formation of more macro pores. Higher amounts of Ca(OH) 2 were detected in samples with SAP by the X-ray diffraction analysis indicating the formation of more cement hydration in those specimens.

—Despite the benefits that the construction industry contributes to the global economy, the impacts that it causes on occupational safety remain a significant concern. Moreover, specific systems are necessary to account for the factors influencing the implementation of construction safety. Proportionately, integrating advanced technologies such as Building Information Modelling/Management (BIM) manifests as one of the strategies for mitigating construction safety programs. Thus, this research aims to expand previous research and fill the gaps in current measures taken for adopting and implementing BIM, focusing on improving construction safety management and implementation. This study presents a framework that incorporates 4D Simulation and automation features of BIM. The framework aims to overcome challenges related to regulating construction schedules, taking into account weather conditions, and adhering to standard safety codes in the construction safety planning process. The ultimate goal is to promote sustainable construction safety management. This research conducts a case study on a large-scale incineration project in Japan, considering the Japanese construction working environment and Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) and JICA Safety Standard Specifications (JSSS).

—In the field of interior design, materials are considered of the most important elements that play a vital role in the functionality of internal spaces. The selection of these materials according to clear criteria is considered one of the most important inputs guaranteeing the project's success and practical efficiency. In this context, this study aims to look into the general criteria for the selection of a material according to previous studies, in order to explore and clarify the special criteria that should be adopted and implemented when selecting materials in the internal design project. This research work is mainly due to the researchers' observation of an evident lack in the quantity of information on the selection criteria of materials in the field of interior design, whereas most of what has been reported in numerous related studies are information only showing the technical properties of the material, thus qualitatively limiting the designer's choices and the application of his creative ideas. This research in previous studies showed that there are general criteria for materials, which are essentially artistic, technical, functional, aesthetic, economic and environmental, that should be considered when choosing the material as a design element. This research also concluded the special criteria for the selection of materials as a design element and as an element listed as part of a group of elements that constitute a comprehensive aesthetic functional system reflecting solutions for the interior environment, which, in turn, reflects a range of sensory effects emanating through the material, shape, texture and color. It is expected for the results of this research to assist those who work in the field of interior design from the academics who teach this discipline, the students, as well as the professional working at consulting and executive offices in the labor market, by providing them with the selection criteria for materials in interior design projects.
