ABSTRACT There are several ongoing humanitarian crises all around the world that have led to many refugees, who need affordable shelters and saferooms. Additionally, these structures are widely located in the backyard of homes in case of hurricanes, tornados, and/or earthquakes. This paper presents a chronological literature review of investigations and comparisons on characteristics of different type of saferoom/shelter wall systems. The characteristics, scrutinized in this study for each type of wall, include structural strength, construction cost, time to construct, and sustainability of saferoom/shelter walls. The most significant contributions of these studies are identified and presented. The results showed that soilbag shelter walls can be constructed with relatively low cost, relatively shorter time, and being relatively more sustainable compared to other types of shelter walls considered in this study. Soil-filled earthbag specimens are stronger and stiffer than gravel-filled specimens of identical size and stack geometry. Using locally available materials minimizes the energy needed and pollution produced due to material transportations. Furthermore, recyclable waste bags can be used to produce bags in soilbags. A slanted roof can be used in any type of shelter wall to harvest rainwater for each shelter use. Moreover, the literature review indicated that the shelter walls made of CLT, and lumber panels are generally stronger against wind loads (250-mph) compared to walls made of soilbags (225-mph).

ABSTRACT The Ten Arches Bridge is a historical stone bridge that is located in Amman, Jordan. The bridge has a valuable cultural heritage as it was built in 1908 to serve the Hejaz Railway Line. This study presents a structural assessment of the bridge including a field inspection, experimental investigation, and numerical structural analysis. The study also investigates the efficacy of utilizing in-situ Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) such as Rebound Hammer (RH) and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests in the assessment of stone arch bridges. Detailed experimental and numerical investigations were performed to identify the structural integrity of the bridge by evaluating the acting stresses and displacements under static and dynamic loads. Minor deteriorations were found in the bridge’s body due to human and environmental factors. However, the geometrical properties of the bridge have not been significantly changed. The obtained results of the numerical analysis concluded that the bridge can sustain the current imposed dead and traffic loads, but not serve seismic actions. Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of stone units obtained by RH and UPV tests are in agreement with the laboratory tests. Accordingly, NDT techniques can provide and verify basic mechanical properties that are needed for numerical analyses.

ABSTRACT This research proposes a new approach, in which a tuned mass damper (TMD) is installed in an articulated tower subjected to moving loads caused by ground. Then, the vibration equations of the system are formulated for analyzing and selecting the optimal parameters of the tuned mass damper to reduce the harmful vibrations. The maximization of equivalent viscous resistance method is applied to determine the optimum parameters of the tuned mass damper. The purpose of designing the tuned mass damper is to suppress the vibrations of the articulated tower. The results show that the vibration of the articulated tower is effectively eliminated by using the optimum parameters of the tuned mass damper in this paper. In particular, the optimum expressions are given in analytical solutions, which involve the parameters in well-understood forms to derive the exact solution of the optimum parameter. These optimum expressions, helping the researchers easily design the tuned mass damper on controlling vibrations of the articulated tower.

ABSTRACT Timely maintenance of bridge components is critical for bridge management functions. With reliable deterioration models, highway agencies can efficiently allocate funding for bridge maintenance and customize maintenance schedules to meet agency budgets. The increased public expectation of acceptable levels of service for bridges coupled with other competing needs makes it crucially important to accurately estimate bridge future conditions so that adequate resources may be allocated for repair and reconstruction purposes. Accurately predicting bridge condition is challenging due to the inherent random nature of factors impacting deterioration, the existence of unobserved variables that are not measured, panel nature of the data and the effects of bridge-specific correlation. Without accounting for these factors, the resulting estimated deterioration models may have biased and inconsistent parameter estimates. This article assembled a comprehensive set of bridge and climate data from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) and the South Carolina Climatology office. Bridge component deterioration models for bridges on state highways in South Carolina were estimated using an ordered probit model with random effects specification to account for the randomness and panel nature of the bridge data. The study results are useful for various bridge management tasks including maintenance programming, budgeting and bridge asset evaluation.

ABSTRACT This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls strengthened with steel-welded wire mesh (WWM) overlay with mortar to improve their in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity. The experimental programme consists a compression testing of masonry prism and a diagonal compression testing of 15 wall specimens made of clay brick strengthened with four different WWM systems: (i) embedding WWM along the bed joint, (ii) embedding WWM along the bed joint and a strip diagonally crossing on wall surface, (iii) WWM alternately embedding along the bed joint and continue to the surface of wall and (iv) WWM fully cover on wall surface. The experimental results show that the adopted WWM-strengthening solutions produce a beneficial increase of compressive strength, shear resistance, ductility and energy dissipation capacity making them suitable for seismic strengthening.

ABSTRACT A pressurized gas separator vessel was scanned to detect the possible discontinuities using a Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) device. Ultrasonic results from Hydrogen-Induced Cracks (HICs) at different depths were considered to represent the evaluation procedure. Final results were then generated for implementing Fitness-for-Service (FFS) procedure. After considering FFS procedures, it was found that some of the discontinuities are not acceptable due to their sizes or locations. Based on the simulated model results, including fracture analysis of cracks and generating Failure Analysis Diagrams (FAD), it can be inferred that the vessel is not acceptable to be in the current service operation condition and should be replaced.

ABSTRACT Many studies have only studied carbonation and chloride penetration separately, and study dealt with synergy interaction between these is very rare. This study is devoted to examining the chloride penetration parameters of carbonated cementitious materials, i.e. (a) surface chloride content, (b) chloride diffusivity, (c) chloride adsorption capacity and (d) critical chloride content linked with reinforcement corrosion directly. These chloride transportation parameters were expressed as a function of time in each condition because these depend on the mixing proportional properties and the degree of cement hydration. This study is expected to be useful to develop a chloride penetration model of carbonated concrete in the future.

ABSTRACT This paper has proposed a new formula relating the damage state and effective state of the flexural member, this formula enables studying different concrete healing variables. A new relation between the effective reinforced concrete healing/damage variable and the effective healing/ damage variables of concrete and steel has been introduced to relate concrete and steel healing/ damage and the reinforced concrete healing/ damage. The proposed formula has been verified with experimental results of full-healed flexural members, it has achieved good agreement. The flexural member stiffness has been studied considering different parameters like concrete healing variables, concrete cover and percentage of steel reinforcement. The flexural member stiffness has increased as the concrete healing variable has increased, it has increased as the concrete cover has increased and the steel reinforcement percentage of 1% has given the higher flexural member stiffness.

ABSTRACT The occurrence of past serious earthquakes led to the demolition of most of already built reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to improper seismic design. Further studies showed that reduced ductility and low shear strength were the main reasons for the failure of structural members (such as columns). Hence, considering the incorporation of shear strength and ductility in structural design became vital to enhance resistance to environmental loads (such as earthquake). Low-strength concrete is generally in practice in the progressing countries like Pakistan. Different approaches and methods have been used to retrofit and repair the ageing structures using different techniques. The present study focuses on the experimental investigation of confining of concrete columns by pre-tensioning carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) with expanding grout. A number of concrete cylinder specimens were prepared using selected quantities of expanding grout, which produced various initial pressures. The behaviour of pre-tensioned confined concrete with non-pre-tensioned confined and unconfined concrete was compared. It was also indicated that using CFRP along with expanding grout can enhance the engineering properties (axial stress and elastic modulus) of columns. It was comprehended that an increment in the initial confining pressure resulted in increment in axial stress as well as axial and lateral strains.

ABSTRACT This study presents a damage assessment scheme for seismically excited torsion-coupled nonlinear buildings based on the normalized relative displacement vibration shape (NRDVS). In order to investigate the applicability of the proposed NRDVS, the relative displacements are obtained from a real-time structural response integrator (RTSRI) by integrating the relative accelerations simulated from multiple-degree-of-freedom nonlinear models. As a result, the normalized inter-story drift ratio (NIDR) calculated by differencing the normalized displacements of the two successive floors of NRDVS and dividing by the story height can reveal the damaged floors as well as the location of damaged building members. Furthermore, the proposed damage assessment scheme is validated by observing the experimental measurements of shaking table tests of three 1/3 scaled-down two-story reinforced concrete school building models conducted at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), Taipei, Taiwan.
