Vertical isolation by dividing the building into two soft and stiff sub-systems benefits from the period shifts and the damping mechanism across the height. However, the displacement demand imposed on the soft sub-system is less applicable in congested urban areas. As a result, in this study, a hybrid system of vertical isolation system benefiting from a tuned soft subsystem divided into upper and lower portions is investigated. A parametric linear 3-Degree of Freedom (DoF) model of the system incorporating mass and frequency ratio of the sub-systems was introduced and analyzed by response spectrum in MATLAB. A closed-form solution for the system frequency and mode shapes was also established. Response spectrum analysis indicates increasing the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)’s fundamental period to 2.5 times the soft sub-system’s, reduces its displacement to more than 40 percent. The Multi Degree of Freedom (MDoF) model of the system is parametrically generated in MATLAB. Time history analysis of the building subjected to 40 records with 2 and 10 percent probabilities of exceedance in 50 years compared with conventional vertical isolation reveals the lower soft sub-system displacement can be reduced up to 45 percent by shifting drift to upper stories. The innovative tuned vertical isolation by demonstrating superior control performance as comprises lower floors’ drift may be an applicable solution for adjacent high- and low-rise buildings.

This study aims to experimentally evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete slabs reinforced with two types of fibers: metallic fibers (MF) and grids based on polypropylene fibers (PPG). The metallic fibers, sourced from machining waste of steel parts, are randomly distributed in the concrete, while the polypropylene fibers are arranged in grids. The investigation includes punching tests conducted on slabs measuring [25x50x7] cm³, as well as compression tests on cylinders with a diameter of Ø16 cm and a height of H32 cm. Mechanical resistance and tearing characteristics of the fibers were also assessed. The concrete’s composition was determined using the experimental “Dreux-Gorisse” method. Five different metal fiber contents (MF) were studied (W=0.2%, W=0.4%, W=0.6%, W=0.8%, and W=1%), alongside a control concrete sample (BT) with no fibers (W=0%) having the same composition as the matrix. Two variants of grids based on small-mesh polypropylene fibers (PPG/SM) and large-mesh (PPG/LM) configurations were considered. The comparative analysis of the results highlights that, at a fiber content of W=0.8%, metallic fibers (MF) enhance both resistance and rigidity more effectively than polypropylene fibers in small meshes (PPG/SM) and large meshes (PPG/LM), thereby limiting the formation of puncturing cracks.

Waste Glass Powder (WGP) could be used as a cement replacement additive to manufacture concrete and solving the problem of environmental pollution. This article presents a numerical modeling of the thermo-mechanical behavior of a reinforced concrete beam based on an addition of 20% of the powder glass as a substitute for cement powder with modeling of concrete-steel contact using ANSYS software. To do this, a reinforced concrete beam based on glass powder is modeling in three dimensions by the finite element method (FEM) and it is subject to thermal loading during 2 hours in order to simulate the thermo thermo-mechanical response of the beam element. ANSYS provides a three-dimensional element (SOLID65) with the nonlinear model of brittle materials similar to the concrete materials. The element features a smeared crack analogy for cracking in tension zones and a plasticity algorithm to take into account the concrete crushing in compression zones.

To make a structure sturdier, the construction materials must be of higher quality. To enhance the structural qualities of fresh concrete, or improve the properties of hardened concrete, additives are added to concrete during the mixing process. To offset the high cost of chemically improving concrete, cost-effective substitutes are needed. Three hydrocolloids found in nature, namely Gum Arabic, Gum guar, and Tamarind kernel powder, have been investigated as potential concrete additives, within a range of 0.25 percent to 1.25 percent in increments, depending on the amount of cement used. The findings of the compressive strength test reveal a progressive improvement following the addition of natural hydrocolloids. Concrete strength reaches its peak at 0.75% of Gum Arabic, 0.50% of Gum guar, and 1% of Tamarind kernel powder. It is found that these hydrocolloids, when combined with concrete, improve its strength. Therefore, they may be used in the percentages specified in this study to control this effect. As an additional benefit, utilizing these hydrocolloids to improve concrete strength eliminates the need for biowaste disposal.

This study investigates the optimal distribution and pattern of ground control points (GCPs) in aerial photogrammetric projects. Aerial triangulation (AT), also known as bundle adjustment, is the fundamental step in refining 3D reconstruction models and camera positions, thereby minimizing reprojection errors. The study utilizes data from a national project in Romania, employing high-resolution aerial images acquisition using photogrammetric sensors. The project has rigorous requirements of ground control points (GCP) placement and field measurements using GNSS and geometric leveling techniques. The study employs various scenarios, manipulating the number and distribution of GCPs, to assess their influence on planimetric and altimetric accuracy. Results indicate that the configuration and number of GCPs significantly affect the accuracy of photogrammetric products, such as dense image point clouds, digital surface models, and orthophotos. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of precise GCP determination methods, especially in regions lacking a precise gravimetric geoid model. In scenarios with inadequate GCP coverage the outcomes have inferior quality, emphasizing the critical role of GCPs in ensuring the quality of photogrammetric products. Overall, the research gives a clear view on the best placement patterns of GCPs and their influence on AT process evaluation performed in check points (CHKs).

The construction and development of international transport corridors have become a means of cross-border space governance, promoting the flexibility of international industrial chains and supply chains. Due to the uncertainty of cooperation, the development of international transport corridors entails a long-term and complex system of engineering. Transport corridors can generate wider economic benefits and costs through their effects on a potentially diverse set of development outcomes, such as economic growth, poverty, jobs, equity, environmental quality, and economic resilience. The focus on roads, rails, and waterways is justified, as transport corridors based on these modes have clearer potential for economic spillovers than, for example, airline routes. The current paper describes a multi-method approach involving spatial and non-spatial analysis to investigate spatial disparity along a proposed corridor and examine its integration within the existing settlement structure. The conceptual structure for the review is guided by a simple canonical model describing the policy maker’s problem in maximizing the net wider economic benefits of corridors. The meta-analysis confirms that characteristics of individual studies, as well as the placement and design of transport infrastructures, systematically influence the findings of corridor studies. It also shows that, on average, estimated impacts of corridor interventions on economic welfare and equity tend to be beneficial, while they are often detrimental to environmental quality, and possibly also to social inclusion.

Reinforced concrete frame-wall (RC frame-Wall) structures are generally solved in a global manner by modeling the entire structure by assembling the RC frame and wall stiffness matrices into a global matrix. The bar-wall element interface is modeled at the mean line of the beam-column element, according to RPA 99, which limits the interaction to the axial and transverse components of the forces (mechanical and kinematic) thus neglecting the effects of section rotations. In order to take into account, the rotational components of the mechanical behavior of the beams (section rotation and bending moment), the interaction between the RC frame and the wall must take place at the real interface of the two substructures, i.e. at the extreme fiber of the bar elements (beams and columns). The transmission of force from the wall to the RC frame is done by transforming the tangent stresses of the wall into moment in the beam.

The fatigue behaviour of bituminous layers must be taken into account when dimensioning road structures and projecting streets. To satisfy this fatigue criterion, laboratory tests must be used to determine the material characteristics and fatigue life of bituminous mixtures. The aim of this article is to study the crack initiation stage using a specific laboratory test: the two-point constant strain bending fatigue test on trapezoidal specimens. The laboratory tests were carried out on three types of bituminous mixes used in the wearing course, each containing successively two different types of bitumen (one imported and one Romanian). The conclusions drawn from this article refer to the influence of mix type and bitumen on the characteristics obtained.

The techniques and tools developed for geodetic determinations have made it possible, over the past half century, to carry out measurements using global navigation satellite systems. As the accuracy and precision of positioning solutions, such as Fast Static and RTK, improve through technological advances, more applications will become available that can provide users with positioning information over time, autonomously verify the integrity of transmitted data, and ensure sufficient accuracy for their intended purposes. In our study for the interpretation, analysis, and visualization of raw and/or processed RINEX GNSS data recorded over time at a geodetic point using the information available from the Fast Static technique, we used the GeoRinex library from the Python programming language. This library converts data to xarray.data set, for easy use in processing parameter sets, from Rinex files: of ROMPOS reference stations and of the new B10 point resulting from measurements using the Fast Static technique: pseudorange (C1, C2, P1, P2....), carrier phase (L1, L2,…), doppler (D1, D2....) and signal strength (S1, S2....). All this information will help us to analyse and interpret the degradation of the parameters associated with Rinex version 2.11 epoch positioning files 12.02.2023, time interval 12:00-14:00 (fast static) and to understand their accuracy and behavior in different environments. Based on this study, our aim was to evaluate the error in determining the positioning accuracy of the B10 point located in a crowded and heavily trafficked area, which allows sufficient coverage of the GNSS satellites.

The present paper proposes to analyse the consistency of several interpolation methods for generating a grid structure, which will be used for digital terrain modelling in the case of water retention basins (polders). The aim is to use a single dataset, from which a number of measured points will be eliminated, after which several interpolation methods will be applied to the remaining dataset in order to analyze which method yields the nearest correct (measured) value. The research focuses on comparing the reliability, consistency and sheer data accuracy (in comparison with pre-determined control points) of both the resulted grids and the noise filtered ones, to assess the performance of each method.
