Some Unexpected Results of Experimental Measurement of Papers in Experiments in Fluids by  Tang JH in  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Abstract Go to In project of applied geotechnical engineering it is necessary to know the shearing characteristics of the soil in place. In some cases, it is not possible to recover intact samples, maintaining their representative mechanical properties and analyzing them in the laboratory. It is, therefore, necessary to carry out tests in situ to determine the mechanical characteristics of soil that are essential to project design. This article reports a practical case study on alluvial sediments with a coarse gravel sandy texture. For its appropriate analysis a large in situ direct shear test has been designed and performed. This technique identified the presence of a weak soil cementation by natural calcite and its important effect on geotechnical soil failure behavior. Moreover, the test stated the unusual shear characteri...

Study of Use of Bitumen Fiber to Increase Flexural Strength of Concrete_Crimson Publishers

Study of Use of Bitumen Fiber to Increase Flexural Strength of Concrete by  Pandey I in  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Abstract Go to There is sudden increase in blast phenomenon either due to terrorist attack or due to accidents. As a result, security and safety of structure becomes more important and considering blast load in design aspect of structure. One of the ways to increase the concrete strength is to increases the size of the member which will increase the stiffness of the structure and the uplift force below the foundation, but this not only increase the economy but also the factor of limited area will be restrain. This objective of this study is to find the mechanical strength of concrete which can withstand impact and blast loads. In this paper use of use of high-performance concrete is used along with bitumen fiber to give large deformation. Main focus was to increase the ductility of concrete and strong enough to resist blast impact loads wi...

Review of Noncontact Ultrasonic Measurement System for Structural Health Monitoring_Crimson Publishers

Review of Noncontact Ultrasonic Measurement System for Structural Health Monitoring by  Makiko Kobayashi in  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Abstract Go to Non-destructive testing (NDT) of infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels has become more important since it has aging problem and traffic was heavier than expected. Thin film ultrasonic sensors would be attractive because it is easy to integrate on huge structure. However, NDT of huge structure is still challenging because of sensor accessibility. Semi-noncontact ultrasonic sensors were proposed in this manuscript. 20cm diameter copper coil transmit/receive electrical signal from a pulser/receiver instrument and a thin film ultrasonic sensor and reflected echo from 12.7mm thick steel plate successfully. By this method, measurement using drone could be possible and it increases application possibility for huge infrastructure monitoring.

Review of Timber connections: Connector Plate, Cleats, Studies and Dovetail Connections_Crimson Publishers

Review of Timber connections: Connector Plate, Cleats, Studies and Dovetail Connections by  Kristopher Orlowski in  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Timber Connections Go to EThe strength of a building relies heavily upon the transfer of load from one connection to another [1,2]. A solid and reliable connection method must be utilized to increase the strength of timber panel and enable the structure to withhold an excessive amount of stress [3-5]. In wood buildings, an effective connection will provide the building with strength and ductility [6]. However, there are many connections needed in a wooden structure therefore an economical and durable connection is required to assemble a prefabricated panel quickly and inexpensively in mass production [6].

A Brief Survey of Regionalization Modeling; A Bonus from Gauged to Ungauged Basins by  Mehdi Sheikh Goodarzi in  Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology Introduction Go to Runoff-rainfall models (r-r) have been widely used to manage water resources during past decades. One of the most important upfront hydrological issues, certainly in r-r prediction, is adopting the best calibration method [1]. Regarding the importance of calibration procedure in hydrological modeling, various types of methods and approaches have been practiced optimizing parameter values from manual and trial-error-based style to entirely automated, heuristic and sophisticated approaches. Automatic calibration approaches usually take advantage of modern search processes and algorithms to fit residual errors among observed and simulated data (using objective functions) to optimize parameter values [2]. In terms of hydrological modeling, particularly distributed models, changes in spatial characteri...
