Abstract The usage of geocell reinforcement for foundations supported on weak soil has been increased these days. The purposed study uses FEM-based ABAQUS software to analyse the behaviour of square footing supported on geocell reinforced sands subjected to static vertical loading. Numerical analysis was performed to find the optimum combination of the different geometric parameters of the geocell reinforcement. Three distinct types of sands were employed in the study with relative densities of 30%, 50%, and 70%. The geometric parameters of the geocell, such as the placement depth of geocell (u), the width (b), and the height (h) of the geocell, were modified in relation to the footing width (B) to access the optimum combination ratios. The inclusion of the geocell reinforcement increases the load-carrying capacity up to 5-6 times compared to unreinforced sand. The results obtained from the numerical analysis were intended to correlate well with the experimental data available in the literature.

Abstract Masonry churches, which are one of the cultural heritages, show the historical background, cultural and religious characteristics of the cities and material properties. Churches in the earthquake zone, which are different from each other in terms of typology and have a special importance, are at risk. The aim of this study is to examine the earthquake behavior of a church sample in Turkey and to provide a guide for structures with similar typology. The building was modeled and subjected to dynamic loads using macro modeling technique. Free vibration mode shapes were determined by modal analysis, and it was determined that these modes were mainly in the form of translation of the upper part of the structure. In the time history analysis, the stress and deformation values were determined. It has been observed that the stresses take high values at the supports and top of the main columns and in the arches connecting these columns to the side walls. It was concluded that the deformations reached their maximum values at the apex of the triangular gable walls in the upper part of the building. The results obtained are consistent with the damage the church received in past earthquakes.

Abstract During previous earthquakes around the world, it was discovered that elevated water tanks were severely damaged or collapsed. As a result, structural engineers are concerned about the analysis of these structures to gain a better understanding of the effects of seismic loads on elevated water tanks. In the current study, E-Tabs software, which is based on finite elements, is used to model various shapes of elevated water tanks along with various staging patterns. The higher stiffness of the supports in cross staging tanks makes them better than normal staging tanks, according to the results of the analysis. Furthermore, circular tanks perform better than other tank shapes when subjected to seismic loads. The study looks at water tanks subjected to static seismic loads. More research is needed to determine the analysis results for the dynamic seismic loads applied to the structure. All the analysis results are derived from the software’s tank analysis results.

Abstract In the field of metal construction, cellular beams represent an attractive solution to meeting the various technical and economic constraints, especially for large-span buildings. In particular, they allow components linked to the construction to pass through their openings (ventilation ducts, electrical threads, etc.) and thus contribute to significantly reducing the thickness of the floors. However, the use of such beams requires special attention to comply with the regulations in force, in order to guarantee stability and behavior in line with the challenge of preserving the structures. This article focuses on the analysis of the measures of agreement between experiment and computation programs (strength of materials, Robot structures, and Inflexion-EF) results of the beams with circular cuts in their webs (IPE A 100), supported simply and subjected to a concentrated load. The experimental results show that the vertical displacement resulting from transverse compression is induced by various factors: length, cuts in their webs, location of the load, and stiffening of the beams. The comparison of experimental and theoretical results demonstrates the importance of experimental tests in validating theoretical results.
在金属建筑领域，蜂窝梁代表了一种有吸引力的解决方案，以满足各种技术和经济限制，特别是对于大跨度建筑。特别是，它们允许与建筑相关的组件通过它们的开口(通风管道，电气螺纹等)，从而有助于显着减少地板的厚度。然而，使用这种梁需要特别注意遵守现行法规，以保证稳定性和行为符合保护结构的挑战。本文着重分析了在腹板上有圆形切口的梁(IPE A 100)的实验和计算程序(材料强度、机器人结构和flexon - ef)结果之间的一致性措施，这些梁是简单支承和受集中荷载的。试验结果表明，横向压缩引起的竖向位移受长度、腹板切口、荷载位置和梁的加劲等因素的影响。实验结果与理论结果的比较说明了实验测试在验证理论结果中的重要性。

Abstract The aim of this study was to ascertain the current condition of the Anchar lake water body in the Indian state of J&K in terms of water quality using some main parameters such as pH, TDS, EC, DO, and nitrates content. For the years 2019 and 2020, samples were obtained for two seasons: summer and winter. The quantitative analysis of the experimental results indicates a general increasing trend and considerable variance in nitrates content, as well as a gradual decrease in pH, indicating that the lake’s acidity is increasing, but only within the basicity range, with real values approaching neutrality: TDS and EC content suggest a very favorable situation, but when the overall parameters are tested, they show a defect. Since the sampling sites were well aerated, the dissolved oxygen content showed a growing pattern, and as a result, this metric proved to be useless in deciding the overall scenario in the lake. In the winter, the longitudinal trend line indicates a 10% decrease in pH, while in the summer, it shows a 4.4 percent decrease in pH. In winters, the longitudinal trend line reveals a 6.7 percent growth in nitrate content, while summers see a marginal decline. In the winter, the longitudinal trend line shows a 7% rise in dissolved oxygen, while in the summer, it shows a uniform trend.

Abstract In this study, A reinforced concrete (RC) reference specimen with compressive strength of 250 kg/cm2 and the weak RC specimen for seismic rehabilitation with compressive strength of 150 kg/cm2 were examined in two types of structures with 6 and 12-stories. The link beam lengths of 50, 80, and 100 cm have been used in 6 and 12-stories prototypes under the effect of 7 earthquake records. The nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed. Then, The behavior of the link beam depends on its length. For short link beam lengths, shear behavior is serious, then for medium lengths, shear-flexural behavior is important, and finally, long lengths will have flexural behavior for the beam. In eccentrically braced frames, the details of the link beam and the fit of the other members must be done in such a way as to ensure its proper ductility. According to the obtained results, the performance of short link beams is much better than long link beams, and short link beams provide more energy dissipation and, at the same time, more ductility. Therefore, in the design of the link beam, mainly the shear of the link beam is considered as a ductile component. The axial force in the link beam, which is due to the application of lateral load to the structure, reduces both the bending capacity and the inelastic deformation capacity of the link beam, so it can be explained that in steel eccentric braces, the link beam is symmetrical between the two main components of the brace and it can affect the strength of the structure against lateral loads.

Abstract In the context of growing scarcity of natural resources, the high demand of aggregates and the difficulties to open new quarries, several studies were carried out to study the possibility of reuse of waste and industrial by-products to replace traditional materials which would run out, replace materials when transport distances increase to reduce construction costs and protect the environment. This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of marble waste used as powder on the shrinkage and absorption of sand concrete in order to reuse it in the production of sand concrete. To achieve this goal, several sand concrete mixtures containing different substitutions rates of marble powder (4, 8 and 12%), and different Water / Cement ratio (0.71, 0.74, 0.77) were produced. Then, the evolution of the shrinkage and absorption values of sand concrete mixtures was studied. The obtained results showed that marble waste powder plays a positive role in reducing of shrinkage and absorption values of sand concrete and lead to the production of eco-friendly sand concrete.

Abstract Nowadays, the use of smart materials in structures is a major concern to structural engineers. The act of benefiting from numerous advantages of these materials is the main objective of researches and studies focused on seismic and structural engineering. In the present study, in addition to the development of finite element models of several steel frames using ABAQUS software, the effect of shape memory alloys (SMAs) on superelastic behavior and the various types of eccentric braces will be checked. Moreover, it was observed that the use of SMAs within various types of bracing systems of steel frames leads to a decrease in the reduction factor of the frames. Also, the eccentric bracing in which SMAs are utilized in the middle of bracing led to the highest effect on reduction of lateral drift of the frames and decrease of reduction factor. The obtained results indicated that the application of smart materials led to increasing of strain energy and base shear of the first plastic hinge, which is followed by a decrease in the reduction factor of the frame.
