Construction projects, especially those for commercial purposes, require thorough planning and control to ensure success within predetermined budgets and timelines. This research, conducted in Mashhad, Iran, employs the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and VIKOR methods to identify and rank factors influencing delays in high-rise projects. The study, based on a sample of 40 projects, emphasizes the comprehensive nature of our research method. The scale for features in project selection includes societal importance (with different applications including cultural hubs, affordable housing initiatives, and urban renewal for social equity), size (less and more than 20 units in residential projects), and diversity (mixed-use development, inclusive infrastructure, and cultural and recreational spaces), contributing to a comprehensive analysis of construction delays. Expert project managers and engineers provided insights through two questionnaires, and their responses underwent thorough analysis. Our findings not only underscore the significance of factors contributing to project success but also rank their impact on the likelihood of delays. The study reveals that the negative effects of these factors on cost, time, and project quality vary. Time emerges as the most influential parameter, with approximately six times more impact on cost and nine times more on quality. Contractor financial weakness, delays in allocating financial and credit resources, insufficient project resource allocation, contractor technical and executive weakness, and a lack of proper implementation and project control are identified as the most important factors contributing to delays.
建筑项目,尤其是商业项目,需要周密的规划和控制,以确保在预定的预算和时间范围内取得成功。本研究在伊朗马什哈德进行,采用了层次分析法(AHP)和 VIKOR 方法来识别和排序影响高层建筑项目延误的因素。该研究以 40 个项目为样本,强调了我们研究方法的全面性。项目选择的特征尺度包括社会重要性(不同的应用包括文化中心、经济适用房倡议和城市更新促进社会公平)、规模(住宅项目中少于和多于 20 个单元)和多样性(混合用途开发、包容性基础设施和文化娱乐空间),有助于对施工延误进行全面分析。项目经理和工程师专家通过两份调查问卷提供了真知灼见,并对他们的回答进行了深入分析。我们的研究结果不仅强调了有助于项目成功的因素的重要性,还对这些因素对延误可能性的影响进行了排序。研究显示,这些因素对成本、时间和项目质量的负面影响各不相同。时间是影响最大的参数,对成本的影响约为成本的 6 倍,对质量的影响约为质量的 9 倍。承包商财力薄弱、财政和信贷资源分配延迟、项目资源分配不足、承包商技术和执行力薄弱以及缺乏适当的实施和项目控制被认为是造成延误的最重要因素。

This research addresses the significant challenge posed by early water damage in highway asphalt pavement, a critical concern affecting pavement service performance. To counteract this issue, the utilization of anti-stripping agents in asphalt is explored as a highly effective technical intervention. In this investigation, a carefully selected amine-free additive was employed to modify the asphalt binder. A comprehensive array of physical and rheological tests, covering aspects such as storage stability, penetration, softening point, ductility, elastic recovery, rolling thin-film oven, retained penetration, the ductility of residue, and rotational viscometer assessments, were conducted to examine the multifaceted impact of the anti-stripping agent on the asphalt binder. Additionally, we assessed the asphalt mixture’s sensitivity to moisture through Marshall stability tests after conditioning for 40 min and 24 h, followed by an enhanced immersion test and moisture susceptibility measurement. The results reveal a nuanced interplay of chemical and physical mechanisms influencing the behavior of the asphalt binder. Notably, the incorporation of an anti-stripping agent at a concentration of 0.25–0.5% (by weight of asphalt binder) led to a substantial improvement in the tensile strength ratio (TSR) to 94.9%, a noteworthy enhancement compared to the 80.6% observed with virgin asphalt mixture. Furthermore, the retained stability index (RSI) exhibited a remarkable increase to 98.1%, surpassing the 87.6% recorded for virgin asphalt. This study not only provides crucial insights into the intricate dynamics of asphalt binder performance but also emphasizes the pivotal role of anti-stripping agents in augmenting the structural integrity and resilience of asphalt pavement.
这项研究探讨了公路沥青路面早期水损坏所带来的重大挑战,这是影响路面使用性能的一个关键问题。为了应对这一问题,研究人员探索了在沥青中使用抗剥落剂这一高效的技术干预措施。在这项研究中,采用了一种精心挑选的不含胺的添加剂来改性沥青粘结剂。我们进行了一系列全面的物理和流变学测试,包括储存稳定性、渗透性、软化点、延展性、弹性恢复、轧制薄膜烘箱、保留渗透性、残留物延展性和旋转粘度计评估,以检查抗剥落剂对沥青胶结料的多方面影响。此外,我们还通过马歇尔稳定性测试评估了沥青混合料对水分的敏感性,这些测试分别在调理 40 分钟和 24 小时后进行,然后是强化浸泡测试和水分敏感性测量。结果表明,影响沥青胶结料行为的化学和物理机制之间存在着微妙的相互作用。值得注意的是,掺入浓度为 0.25%-0.5%(按沥青胶结料重量计)的抗剥落剂后,拉伸强度比(TSR)大幅提高至 94.9%,与原始沥青混合料的 80.6%相比,有了显著提高。此外,留存稳定性指数(RSI)也显著提高到 98.1%,超过了原始沥青的 87.6%。这项研究不仅为沥青粘结剂性能的复杂动态提供了重要见解,还强调了抗剥落剂在增强沥青路面结构完整性和韧性方面的关键作用。

A rock-filled concrete (RFC) dam is an original dam construction technology invented in China nearly 20 years ago. The technology has been continuously improved and innovated upon, and the accumulated rich practical experience gradually formed a complete dam design and construction technology. Seismic design is a key design area for RFC dams that still requires more investigation; therefore, this article attempts to address some questions in this area. In the article, the seismic design for a curved gravity dam, currently under construction, is compared for RFC and conventional vibrating concrete (CVC) dam alternatives based on American design documents. The conclusions drawn from investigations include the following: The displacement and stress distributions in both the CVC and RFC alternatives are similar, but the maximum computed values for the RFC dam model are slightly smaller than those for the CVC one, while the sliding resistance of both dam alternatives can meet the requirements of the specifications. Regarding the nonlinear seismic analysis results, the extent of damage in the RFC dam model is significantly reduced when compared with the CVC model, which can be explained by the higher cracking resistance of RFC. In general, the seismic performance of the investigated dam made of RFC appears to be better than that of CVC.
填石混凝土(RFC)大坝是中国近 20 年前独创的一种大坝建造技术。该技术经过不断改进和创新,积累了丰富的实践经验,逐步形成了完整的大坝设计和施工技术。抗震设计是 RFC 大坝的一个关键设计领域,仍然需要更多的研究,因此本文试图解决这方面的一些问题。文章以美国设计文件为基础,比较了目前正在施工的一座曲线重力坝的抗震设计,以及 RFC 和传统振动混凝土 (CVC) 大坝的替代方案。调查得出的结论如下:CVC 和 RFC 替代方案的位移和应力分布相似,但 RFC 大坝模型的最大计算值略低于 CVC 大坝模型,而两种大坝替代方案的滑动阻力均能满足规范要求。在非线性地震分析结果方面,RFC 大坝模型的破坏程度比 CVC 大坝模型明显降低,这与 RFC 大坝的抗裂性能较高有关。总体而言,RFC 大坝的抗震性能要优于 CVC 大坝。

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavements have been the subject of studies focused on their increasing deterioration over time due to the influence of vehicular loading and ambient factors in humidity and temperature conditions ranging from medium to low (40% relative humidity and 25 °C temperature). Therefore, it is necessary to understand how they behave under various relative humidity and temperature conditions since these parameters vary in each geographic region. In this context, this research focused on analyzing the effect of drying shrinkage on RCC pavements under the influence of vehicular loading using a computational model calibrated with data obtained under typical ambient conditions. For this purpose, laboratory experiments were performed, numerical modeling was used, and the results for RCC pavements were validated using statistical analysis. The results revealed validated models providing moisture content and drying shrinkage curves. These results also underline the importance of considering ambient effects when calculating pavement stresses as a response variable in structural designs. In particular, these effects are highlighted as they can generate changes in pavement stresses of up to 10%, emphasizing the relevance of the models proposed in this study as they consider this phenomenon when predicting the performance and durability of RCC pavements.
碾压混凝土(RCC)路面一直是研究的主题,重点是在中低湿度和温度(相对湿度为 40%,温度为 25°C)条件下,由于车辆荷载和环境因素的影响,路面会随着时间的推移而日益老化。因此,有必要了解它们在各种相对湿度和温度条件下的表现,因为这些参数在每个地理区域都有所不同。在这种情况下,本研究重点分析了在车辆荷载影响下,干燥收缩对 RCC 路面的影响,使用的计算模型校准了在典型环境条件下获得的数据。为此,进行了实验室实验,使用了数值模型,并通过统计分析验证了 RCC 路面的结果。结果显示,验证模型提供了含水量和干燥收缩曲线。这些结果还强调了在结构设计中将路面应力作为响应变量进行计算时考虑环境影响的重要性。特别强调的是,这些影响可导致路面应力发生高达 10% 的变化,从而强调了本研究中提出的模型的相关性,因为这些模型在预测 RCC 路面的性能和耐久性时考虑了这一现象。

Analysis of the Impact of New Generation Narrow-Body Aircraft on Flexible and Rigid Regional Airport Pavements 新一代窄体飞机对柔性和刚性区域机场路面的影响分析

Airport pavements have always evolved to keep pace with the demands of new aircraft. As aircraft weights and tyre pressures increase, stronger, new pavements are designed and existing pavements are rehabilitated or upgraded. The narrow-body commercial jet aircraft, including the A320 and B737 families, are examples of aircraft that have retained the same number of wheels, with the same wheel spacing and the same wingspan, but have increased in weight and tyre pressure by approximately 50%. This places significant demand on airport pavements that were designed for the lighter variants but now face the introduction of the newer, heavier and more demanding variants. This research quantified the impact of the new A320 and B737 narrow-body aircraft variants on rigid and flexible regional airport pavements, where these are the critical aircraft, as well as demonstrating the importance of understanding the operational weight limitations of these aircraft, which is often well below the published maximum weight. Within the context of the pavements considered, the additional pavement thickness required for the heaviest aircraft variants, compared to the lightest variants, was 51%. Based on four examples from real regional airports in Australia, it was found that the additional embodied carbon associated with these new aircraft variants was 2.1–85.3 kg·eCO2/m2 of pavement, while the additional financial cost was AUD 6–219/m2 of pavement. It was concluded that airport pavement thickness designers must challenge the weight of the design aircraft and not take the simple and conservative approach of adopting the maximum weight of the heaviest variant within each aircraft family. By doing so, significant additional pavement thickness will be constructed for no practical benefit, creating an environmental (embodied carbon) and economic (financial cost) burden.
机场路面一直在不断发展,以满足新飞机的需求。随着飞机重量和轮胎压力的增加,人们设计出更坚固的新路面,并对现有路面进行修复或升级。以 A320 和 B737 系列等窄体商用喷气式飞机为例,这些飞机的机轮数量、轮距和翼展均保持不变,但重量和轮胎压力却增加了约 50%。这就对机场路面提出了更高的要求,因为机场路面是为更轻的机型设计的,但现在却要面对更新、更重、要求更高的机型。这项研究量化了新型 A320 和 B737 窄体飞机对刚性和柔性支线机场路面的影响(这些飞机是关键飞机),并证明了了解这些飞机运行重量限制的重要性,因为这些飞机的重量通常远低于公布的最大重量。在所考虑的路面范围内,与最轻的机型相比,最重的机型所需的额外路面厚度为 51%。根据澳大利亚实际地区机场的四个实例,发现与这些新飞机变型相关的额外内含碳量为 2.1-85.3 kg-eCO2/m2(路面),而额外的经济成本为 6-219 澳元/m2(路面)。结论是,机场路面厚度设计者必须对设计飞机的重量提出质疑,而不能采取简单保守的方法,即采用每个飞机系列中最重机型的最大重量。这样做将会增加大量的路面厚度,却没有任何实际好处,造成环境(内含碳)和经济(财务成本)负担。

Cyclists are at a higher risk of being involved in accidents. To this end, a safer environment for cyclists should be pursued so that they can feel safe while riding their bicycles. Focusing on safety risks that cyclists may face is the main key to preserving safe mobility, reducing accidents, and improving their level of safety during their travel. Identifying and assessing risk factors, as well as informing cyclists about them may lead to an efficient and integrated transportation system. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to introduce a risk index that can be adapted to different road areas in order to measure the degree of how risky these areas are for biking. Cyclists’ behavior and demographics were integrated into the risk index calculation. The methodology followed to obtain the risk index composed of four phases: risk factor identification, risk factor weighting, risk index formulation, and risk index validation. Nineteen risk factors are categorized into four major groups: facility features, infrastructure features, cyclist behavior, and weather and traffic conditions.
骑自行车的人发生事故的风险较高。为此,应为骑车人创造更安全的环境,让他们在骑车时感到安全。关注骑车人可能面临的安全风险是维护安全出行、减少事故和提高他们出行安全水平的主要关键。识别和评估风险因素,并将其告知骑车人,可以建立一个高效的综合交通系统。因此,本研究的目的是引入一种可适用于不同道路区域的风险指数,以衡量这些区域骑自行车的风险程度。风险指数的计算结合了骑自行车者的行为和人口统计数据。获得风险指数的方法包括四个阶段:风险因素识别、风险因素加权、风险指数制定和风险指数验证。19 个风险因素分为四大类:设施特点、基础设施特点、骑车人行为以及天气和交通状况。

Seepage Actions and Their Consequences on the Support Scheme of Deep-Buried Tunnels Constructed in Soft Rock Strata 渗流作用及其对软岩层深埋隧道支护方案的影响
Pub Date : 2024-01-12 DOI: 10.3390/infrastructures9010013

The stability of deep soft rock tunnels under seepage conditions is of particular concern. Aiming at thoroughly discussing seepage actions and their consequences on the support schemes of such structures, the host rocks of the Weilai Tunnel situated in the Guangxi province of China are used as the research subject. Emphasis is placed on adequately examining the seepage conditions, stresses, displacements and plastic zone radii along the surrounding rocks of such tunnels, taking into consideration the Mogi–Coulomb strength criterion and the elastic-plastic theory. Explicitly, this article proposes analytical solutions for stresses, displacements and plastic radii around deep tunnels in soft rocks under seepage conditions by considering the aforesaid criterion and nonlinear elastoplastic approaches. Subsequently, based on the strain-softening model, the coupled actions of seepage and softening on the rocks surrounding the tunnel are studied. In order to investigate the effects of relevant influencing factors on tunnel stability, parametric studies are thoroughly examined. According to the results, it is revealed that the support scheme of deep soft rock tunnels must be of the highest resistance possible to better decrease the plastic zone and the tangential stress along the host rocks. Moreover, throughout the surrounding rocks, the dissemination of pore water pressure is strongly affected by the uneven permeability coefficient under anisotropic seepage states. The combined effects of softening and seepage are very dangerous for the surrounding rocks of deep-buried tunnels. It is also shown that the seepage pressure substantially affects the plastic radii and tunnel displacements. Under high seepage pressure, the surface displacements of the tunnel are excessive, easily exceeding 400 mm. To better guarantee the reasonable longevity of such tunnels, the long-term monitoring of their support structures with reliable remote sensors is strongly recommended.
深埋软岩隧道在渗流条件下的稳定性尤其受到关注。为了深入探讨渗流作用及其对此类结构支护方案的影响,本文以位于中国广西省的威来隧道围岩为研究对象。重点是结合莫吉-库仑强度准则和弹塑性理论,充分研究此类隧道围岩的渗流条件、应力、位移和塑性区半径。明确地说,本文通过考虑上述准则和非线性弹塑性方法,提出了渗流条件下软岩深埋隧道周围的应力、位移和塑性半径的分析方案。随后,基于应变软化模型,研究了渗流和软化对隧道周围岩石的耦合作用。为了研究相关影响因素对隧道稳定性的影响,对参数进行了深入研究。研究结果表明,深层软岩隧道的支护方案必须具有尽可能大的阻力,以更好地减少塑性区和围岩切向应力。此外,在各向异性渗流状态下,整个围岩的孔隙水压力扩散受到不均匀渗透系数的强烈影响。软化和渗流的综合效应对深埋隧道的围岩非常危险。研究还表明,渗流压力对塑性半径和隧道位移有很大影响。在高渗流压力下,隧道表面位移过大,动辄超过 400 毫米。为了更好地保证此类隧道的合理使用寿命,强烈建议使用可靠的远程传感器对其支护结构进行长期监测。
{"title":"Seepage Actions and Their Consequences on the Support Scheme of Deep-Buried Tunnels Constructed in Soft Rock Strata","authors":"Wadslin Frenelus, Hui Peng, Jingyu Zhang","doi":"10.3390/infrastructures9010013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/infrastructures9010013","url":null,"abstract":"The stability of deep soft rock tunnels under seepage conditions is of particular concern. Aiming at thoroughly discussing seepage actions and their consequences on the support schemes of such structures, the host rocks of the Weilai Tunnel situated in the Guangxi province of China are used as the research subject. Emphasis is placed on adequately examining the seepage conditions, stresses, displacements and plastic zone radii along the surrounding rocks of such tunnels, taking into consideration the Mogi–Coulomb strength criterion and the elastic-plastic theory. Explicitly, this article proposes analytical solutions for stresses, displacements and plastic radii around deep tunnels in soft rocks under seepage conditions by considering the aforesaid criterion and nonlinear elastoplastic approaches. Subsequently, based on the strain-softening model, the coupled actions of seepage and softening on the rocks surrounding the tunnel are studied. In order to investigate the effects of relevant influencing factors on tunnel stability, parametric studies are thoroughly examined. According to the results, it is revealed that the support scheme of deep soft rock tunnels must be of the highest resistance possible to better decrease the plastic zone and the tangential stress along the host rocks. Moreover, throughout the surrounding rocks, the dissemination of pore water pressure is strongly affected by the uneven permeability coefficient under anisotropic seepage states. The combined effects of softening and seepage are very dangerous for the surrounding rocks of deep-buried tunnels. It is also shown that the seepage pressure substantially affects the plastic radii and tunnel displacements. Under high seepage pressure, the surface displacements of the tunnel are excessive, easily exceeding 400 mm. To better guarantee the reasonable longevity of such tunnels, the long-term monitoring of their support structures with reliable remote sensors is strongly recommended.","PeriodicalId":502683,"journal":{"name":"Infrastructures","volume":"35 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139532096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
