The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new method for the determination of the values of the first-order Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) model coefficients (k and L).Cubic spline interpolation and MATLAB were used for that purpose after the experimental and theoretical BOD values were made dimensionless. Experimental BOD values taken from the literature are made dimensionless by dividing them by experimental BOD1 through BOD5. Theoretical BOD values are made dimensionless by dividing them by the theoretical BOD1 through BOD5 for different theoretical k values. Experimental dimensionless BOD values are connected smoothly using cubic spline method. Using MATLAB, the closest theoretical dimensionless BOD curve to the cubic spline curve is selected and used for the determination of k and L. The closest curve is the one that has the same area under it as to that under the cubic spline curve with the areas that lie between the two curves being the smallest. The new method has proved to give more accurate values after it has been compared with a number of other methods used for that purpose.The new method produced the smallest error and the highest coefficient of determination than the other methods used. The newly introduced method is expected to replace all other methods, as these methods give different values for k and L depending on the method used.
本文介绍了一阶生化需氧量(BOD)模型系数(k和L)的确定方法,在实验和理论BOD值无因次化后,利用三次样条插值和MATLAB进行求解。通过将文献中的实验BOD值除以实验BOD1至BOD5,使其无因次化。通过将理论BOD值除以不同理论k值的理论BOD1到BOD5,使理论BOD值无因次化。实验无量纲BOD值采用三次样条法平滑连接。利用MATLAB选择与三次样条曲线最接近的理论无因次BOD曲线,用于k和l的测定。最接近的曲线是其下面积与三次样条曲线下面积相同的曲线,两条曲线之间的面积最小。经过与其他一些方法的比较,新方法得到了更准确的数值。与其他方法相比,新方法误差最小,确定系数最高。新引入的方法有望取代所有其他方法,因为这些方法根据使用的方法给出不同的k和L值。

This paper aims at designing a model to relate construction project performance to Sudanese construction organization performance using financial and non-financial metrics along with objective and subjective measures. The study used an extensive literature review in the field of construction management and professional advice in order to design a questionnaire for data collection. EQS6.2 software was used for data analysis and model fit evaluation. The model showed a strong relationship between construction project performance and Sudanese construction organization performance, as well as strong relationships between construction project performance and its metrics ("project profitability", "external customer satisfaction" and "internal customer satisfaction"). Furthermore, strong relationships were found between Sudanese construction organization performance and its metrics ("financial", "customer", "internal business" and "learning and growth" perspectives).

The application of hedging rules in reservoir operation has been established as one of the important advances in the field of reservoir operation studies during the past three decades. Hedging rules distribute the deficits over a longer duration to minimize the impact of deficits. Thus, hedging provides the insurance of highvalued water uses, where reservoirs experience uncertain inflows. Formulating different forms of hedging rules and proposing appropriate objective functions that adequately describe the trade-off among the operational performance indicators have been attempted for water supply and irrigation release from reservoirs. Research on hedging rule-based operation of reservoirs for hydro-power generation has not yet gained sufficient attention, probably due to its complexity due to non-linearity. In this study, hedging rules are formulated for Indira Sagar reservoir for hydro-power generation. Discrete phased hedging rule and twopoint linear hedging rule are developed and demonstrated in this research. While the two-point linear hedging rule is one of the simple hedging rules, the discrete phased hedging rule is a more realistic rule as it will facilitate better planning of alternative sources of power generation or rationing. The results indicate the advantages of applying the hedging rules over the standard operating policy.
套期保值规则在水库运行中的应用是近三十年来水库运行研究领域的重要进展之一。对冲规则在较长的时间内分配赤字,以尽量减少赤字的影响。因此,对冲为高价值的用水提供了保险,而水库的流入不确定。已经尝试制定不同形式的对冲规则,并提出适当的目标函数,以充分描述从水库供水和灌溉释放的业务绩效指标之间的权衡。基于套期保值规则的水电库区调度研究尚未得到足够重视,可能是由于其非线性的复杂性。本研究针对Indira Sagar水库的水力发电制定了套期保值规则。本文提出并论证了离散阶段套期保值规则和两点线性套期保值规则。两点线性对冲规则是一种简单的对冲规则,而离散阶段对冲规则是一种更现实的规则,因为它将有助于更好地规划替代发电或配给来源。结果表明套期保值规则相对于标准经营策略的优势。

Shear Capacity of RC Membrane Elements Subjected to Pure In-Plane Shear Stresses 纯面内剪应力作用下钢筋混凝土膜单元的抗剪能力
IF 1.1 Q4 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2016-07-01 DOI: 10.14525/JJCE.10.3.3606

This study evaluates the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) membrane elements subjected to pure inplane shear stresses at different levels of loading. These elements are shown to fail in four different modes. A model is proposed for the shear capacity of these membrane elements that can be computed by direct simple expressions without the need to any iterative process as is usually the case in existing models. Failure in these membrane elements is generally preceded by the formation of two or more major critical cracks assumed herein to propagate in a direction normal to the principal tensile stresses in the concrete. At each stage of loading, the major critical cracks are shown to open at an optimum angle that corresponds to the least shearing resistance to external loading. Major cracks as well as ultimate shear capacity of RC membrane elements are shown to occur when the contribution of the x-reinforcement to resist shear stresses is equal to that of the y-reinforcement. Experimental results of tests on RC membrane elements subjected to pure inplane shear stresses obtained from literature are used to validate and compare the proposed model with existing models. Examples are provided for the computations of shear capacity by the proposed model for the different modes of failure.
本文研究了在不同荷载水平下,钢筋混凝土(RC)膜单元在纯面内剪应力作用下的抗剪能力。这些元素在四种不同的模式下失效。提出了一种膜单元抗剪能力的模型,该模型可以通过直接简单的表达式计算,而不需要任何迭代过程,这通常是现有模型的情况。在这些膜构件的破坏之前,通常会形成两个或更多的主要临界裂缝,这些裂缝在与混凝土中的主拉应力垂直的方向上传播。在加载的每个阶段,主要的临界裂缝都显示出以一个最佳的角度打开,对应于对外部加载的最小剪切阻力。当x型配筋对抗剪应力的贡献与y型配筋的贡献相等时,RC膜单元的主要裂缝和极限抗剪能力就会出现。利用文献中得到的钢筋混凝土膜单元在纯面内剪应力作用下的试验结果,与现有模型进行了验证和比较。给出了用该模型计算不同破坏模式下抗剪承载力的算例。

This study is focused on the prediction of the asphalt binder complex modulus at various temperatures and various loading frequencies. The master curve approach was used to predict the asphalt binder behavior for a wide range of temperatures and loading frequencies by applying the time-temperature superposition principle for pressure ageing vessel (PAV) aged asphalt binder mixed with different percentages of sasobit asphalt modifier. The complex modulus was measured using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) with a wide range of loading frequencies (0.1 Hz-10 Hz) and a wide range of testing temperatures (16 C-31 C). The results showed an increase in the complex modulus with increasing the loading frequency as well as with increasing the sasobit percentage. However, the results showed a decrease in the complex modulus with increasing the testing temperature. The use of the master curve approach showed a high degree of accuracy in predicting the complex modulus for the asphalt binder.
研究了沥青粘结剂在不同温度和不同加载频率下的复合模量。采用主曲线法,应用时间-温度叠加原理,对加入不同比例sasobit沥青改性剂的压力老化容器(PAV)老化沥青粘结剂进行了大范围温度和加载频率下的性能预测。采用动态剪切流变仪(DSR),在较宽的加载频率(0.1 Hz ~ 10 Hz)和较宽的温度范围(16℃~ 31℃)下测量了复合模量。结果表明,随着加载频率的增加和sasobit百分比的增加,复合模量有所增加。结果表明,随着温度的升高,复合模量呈下降趋势。主曲线法在预测沥青粘结剂复合模量方面具有较高的准确性。

Every project confronts risk both in financial and technical dimensions. This induces a greater response on the performance of the project. A successful construction project depends on how the project participants compute the actual project performance. A commendable assessment of project performance practice determines the project productivity both quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods of project performance measurement vary among industries. As a contribution to the above, this study equips the project manager with a proficient mode of project performance measurement and the essential promising decisions that head to profit maximization. This intricate study thus facilitates the project manager to compute the project performance on the basis of the effects of Earned Value Management (EVM) indices which are broadly classified as: variance indices, performance indices and miscellaneous or forecast indices. Adopting the Analytical Network Process (ANP) structure model in Super Decision software is a reliable decision making tool. This study indicates that the cost variance (CV) index is prominent among the EVM indices that highly affect the project characteristics, the measurement of which facilitates the required control measures on respective project activities. It also indicates that cost is the major project characteristic, the variation of which immensely affects the project performance. It procures an objective reference for engineering projects by following the selection process of best EVM indices that holds an accurate measure of project performance.
每个项目都面临着财务和技术方面的风险。这引起了对项目绩效的更大的反应。一个成功的建设项目取决于项目参与者如何计算实际的项目绩效。一个值得赞扬的项目绩效评估实践在数量上和质量上都决定了项目的生产力。项目绩效评估方法因行业而异。作为上述研究的贡献,本研究为项目经理提供了一种熟练的项目绩效测量模式和基本的有前途的决策,以实现利润最大化。因此,这项复杂的研究便于项目经理根据挣值管理(EVM)指数的影响计算项目绩效,这些指数大致分为:方差指数、绩效指数和杂项或预测指数。在超级决策软件中采用分析网络过程(ANP)结构模型是一种可靠的决策工具。研究表明,在影响项目特征的EVM指标中,成本方差(CV)指标最为突出,其度量有助于对相应项目活动采取所需的控制措施。成本是项目的主要特征,其变化对项目绩效影响很大。它通过遵循最佳EVM指标的选择过程,为工程项目提供客观的参考,该指标能够准确地衡量项目绩效。

A large number of studies, experiments and practical test projects have been undertaken throughout the world to assess the modifications in the properties of concrete after addition of rubber aggregates. These rubber aggregates are used to replace fine or coarse aggregates in various proportions. This experimental investigation attempts to study the strength properties and non-destructive evaluation of rubberized concrete with coarse aggregates being partially replaced with rubber aggregates from recycled tyres, in order to assess its suitability for use in structural and non-structural components. Effort was also made to determine the change in thermal properties. It was learnt that the inclusion of rubber in concrete makes the material a better thermal insulator, having a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity. This lower thermal conductivity is a property which could be very useful for meeting energy conservation requirements. Attempt was also made to assess the impact resistance of rubberized concrete. A marked improvement in this property was also observed.
世界各地已经进行了大量的研究、实验和实际测试项目,以评估添加橡胶集料后混凝土性能的变化。这些橡胶骨料被用来代替不同比例的细骨料或粗骨料。本实验研究试图研究粗骨料橡胶混凝土的强度特性和无损评价,部分用回收轮胎的橡胶骨料代替粗骨料,以评估其在结构和非结构部件中的适用性。还努力确定热性能的变化。据了解,在混凝土中加入橡胶使材料成为更好的隔热材料,具有较低的导热系数。这种较低的热导率是一种对满足节能要求非常有用的特性。并对橡胶混凝土的抗冲击性能进行了评价。在这方面也观察到明显的改善。

This study has been conducted to study rework in residential building projects in the West Bank in Palestine. It investigates the cost and causes of rework. A questionnaire survey of 86 contractors from the West Bank in Palestine was performed. 43 rework causes were identified during the research. The study investigates the average of rework cost and the severity of the identified rework causes. 62% of the contractors indicated that the average of rework cost in residential building construction projects that they have experienced during the last five years ranged between 10% and 15% of the original contract cost, which means that rework in residential projects is a severe problem, which should be studied more intensively to be solved in the future. The questionnaire survey also concluded that the most severe causes of rework in residential building projects as identified by the contractors are: poor communication of the client with the consultant, poor communication of the client with the contractor, use of poor quality materials, poor site management and poor communication of the client with the design consultant.
本研究旨在研究巴勒斯坦西岸住宅建筑工程的返工问题。它调查了返工的成本和原因。对来自巴勒斯坦西岸的86名承包商进行了问卷调查。在研究过程中确定了43个返工原因。研究了返工成本的平均值和返工原因的严重程度。62%的承包商表示,在过去五年中,他们所经历的住宅建筑项目的返工成本平均在原合同成本的10%到15%之间,这意味着住宅项目的返工是一个严重的问题,需要更深入的研究,以便在未来解决。问卷调查还得出结论,承包商认为住宅建筑项目返工最严重的原因是:客户与顾问沟通不畅,客户与承包商沟通不畅,使用劣质材料,现场管理不善以及客户与设计顾问沟通不畅。

In this paper, Finite Element Model (FEM) updating based on a new heuristic algorithmis proposed for damage identification in truss structures. This method updates the dynamic properties of the damaged and undamaged state of a structure to identify the presence, location and magnitude of the damage in structural members. Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), which is one of the most efficient heuristic methods, is used to minimize the objective function which is based on dynamic properties of the structure. Damage in structures is caused by the reduction in stiffness of specific members, especially in Young's modulus. The capability and efficiency of this method to identify damage using frequencies and mode shapes are demonstrated by means of several numerical examples. Results show the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method.
本文提出了一种基于启发式算法的桁架结构损伤识别有限元模型更新方法。该方法更新了结构损伤和未损伤状态的动力特性,以识别结构构件损伤的存在、位置和程度。帝国主义竞争算法(ICA)是一种最有效的启发式算法,它基于结构的动态特性来最小化目标函数。结构中的损伤是由特定构件的刚度降低引起的,特别是杨氏模量的降低。通过数值算例验证了该方法利用频率和振型识别损伤的能力和效率。结果表明了该方法的优越性和有效性。
