Abstract:
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) show particular properties associated to their martensitic transformation between metastable phases. Their use in dampers requires a deep knowledge of the SMA behavior and its coherence with the application requirements. In earthquakes engineering standard conditions require that, after several years or decades at rest, an excellent performance is necessary for one or two minutes, i.e., nearly 200 working oscillations. When the target is the damping of stayed cables in bridges under the wind or rain actions, a larger number of oscillations is expected per each working day. This contribution analyzes the fatigue behavior of a CuAlBe alloy (appropriate for earthquakes) and discusses the results of some available experiments on a NiTi alloy for their eventual application to stayed cables..

Abstract:
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science, involved in the research, design, and application of intelligent computer. Traditional methods for modeling and optimizing complex structure systems require huge amounts of computing resources, and artificial-intelligence-based solutions can often provide valuable alternatives for efficiently solving problems in the civil engineering. This paper summarizes recently developed methods and theories in the developing direction for applications of artificial intelligence in civil engineering, including evolutionary computation, neural networks, fuzzy systems, expert system, reasoning, classification, and learning, as well as others like chaos theory, cuckoo search, firefly algorithm, knowledge-based engineering, and simulated annealing. The main research trends are also pointed out in the end. The paper provides an overview of the advances of artificial intelligence applied in civil engineering.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the use of stabilized finite element formulations for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate turbulent flow problems. Turbulence is a challenging problem due to its complex and dynamic nature and its simulation if further complicated by the fact that it involves fluid motions at vastly different length and time scales, requiring fine meshes and long simulation times. A solution to this issue is turbulence modeling, in which only the large scale part of the solution is retained and the effect of smaller turbulent motions is represented by a model, which is generally dissipative in nature. In the context of finite element simulations for fluids, a second problem is the apparition of numerical instabilities. These can be avoided by the use of stabilized formulations, in which the problem is modified to ensure that it has a stable solution. Since stabilization methods typically introduce numerical dissipation, the relation between numerical and physical dissipation plays a crucial role in the accuracy of turbulent flow simulations. We investigate this issue by studying the behavior of stabilized finite element formulations based on the Variational Multiscale framework and on Finite Calculus, analyzing the results they provide for well-known reference problems, with the final goal of obtaining a method that both ensures numerical stability and introduces physically correct turbulent dissipation. Given that, even with the use of turbulence models, turbulent flow problems require significant computational resources, we also focused on programming and implementation aspects of finite element codes, specially in ensuring that our solver can perform efficiently on distributed memory architectures and high-performance computing clusters. Finally, we have developed an adaptive mesh refinement technique to improve and optimize unstructured tetrahedral meshes, again with the goal of enabling the simulation of large turbulent flow problems. This technique combines an error estimator based on Variational Multiscale principles with a simple refinement procedure designed to work in a distributed memory context and we have applied it to the simulation of both turbulent and non-Newtonian flow problems.
Aquesta tesi estudia la possibilitat d'utilitzar formulacions estabilitzades d'elements finits de les equacions de Navier-Stokes incompressibles per a la simulació de problemes de flux turbulent. La descripció de la turbulència és un repte, ja que es tracta d'un problema altament dinàmic i complex i la seva simulació numèrica es veu complicada pel fet que hi intervenen moviments de masses fluides amb dimensions i temps característics molt diferents i per tant requereix malles de càlcul molt fines i temps de simulació llargs. Això s'ha provat de resoldre mitjançant l'ús de models de turbulència, mantenint únicament la part de la solució de més gran escala i introduint un model de l'efecte dels moviments de petita escala, que acostuma a tenir un efecte dissipatiu. En el context de la simulació de fluids amb elements finits es planteja un segon problema amb l'aparició d'inestabilitats numèriques. Aquestes es poden evitar amb l'ús de formulacions estabilitzades, en les quals el problema es modifica per assegurar que tingui una solució estable. Ja que els mètodes d'estabilització típicament introdueixen dissipació addicional, la relació entre la dissipació numèrica i la dissipació física té un paper fonamental en la qualitat de la solució. Per investigar aquest fenomen hem estudiat el comportament de diferents formulacions d'elements finits basades en mètodes variacionals de subescala (VMS) i en el càlcul finit (FIC) en termes del seu comportament en la simulació de problemes turbulents de referència, amb l'objectiu final de trobar un mètode que a la vegada garanteixi l'estabilitat de la solució i introdueixi la dissipació turbulenta físicament necessària. Tenint en compte que, fins i tot quan s'utilitzen models de turbulència, la simulació de problemes de flux turbulent requereix molts recursos de càlcul, també hem estudiat aspectes de la implementació paral·lela de programes d'elements finits per tal de garantir que el nostre codi pot treure partit d'arquitectures de memòria distribuïda i servidors de càlcul d'alt rendiment. Finalment, hem desenvolupat una tècnica de refinament adaptatiu de malla que permeti millorar la qualitat de malles de càlcul tetraèdriques, novament amb la intenció de facilitar la simulació de grans problemes de flux turbulent. Aquesta tècnica combina un estimador d'error basat en els principis de la formulació variacional de subescala amb un procediment de refinament dissenyat per funcionar fàcilment en un context de memòria distribuïda i s'ha utilitzat per simular problemes de flux turbulent i no-Newtonià.

Abstract:
This thesis presents two separate applications of ionising radiation in Civil Engineering. The first is an investigation to determine the cement content of concrete using gamma-rays from the naturally occurring isotopes 238U, 232Th and their decay chains as well as 40K. Two sets of equations are derived and discussed. Spectra from cement, aggregate and concrete samples were made and the useful full energy peaks from the above sources identified. Two concrete samples were prepared using the same cement, but, containing two different aggregates: a granite based aggregate and a flint based aggregate. A third concrete sample was then prepared where the cement content was not initially known. Data from the first two tests was then used to determine the mass of cement used in the blind test. A great deal of valuable information has also been accrued concerning the interaction of statistical errors in the equations for the prediction of cement content. Spectra from four different cements were collected at regular intervals over a 24 month period and the variation in the activity of each cement over this period is discussed. The second section of this work presents an imaging technique that uses pair production annihilation photons to examine the state of steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Computer simulations along with experimental work have been used. The experimental work used a 226Ra needle as a photon source as it provided a range of gamma-rays with energies over the pair production threshold of 1022keV. A 31mm rebar with 30mm of concrete cover was successfully located during the experimental work. The data collected from the computer simulations has shown that the geometry and the material between the photon source, rebar and detector is of great importance.

Abstract:
The principles of tomography are well-established, and geotomography has been in use for several decades. Seismic tomography has previously been used principally in the oil and nuclear industries, but it has occasionally been applied in civil engineering site investigation (SI). The technique can provide a qualitative or a quantitative representation of the distribution of the seismic velocity properties within a surveyed region. Seismic tomography has been successfully used to image, for example, zones of fracturing. The technique has been less successful when used to detect cavities. This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental examination of the usefulness - or otherwise - of seismic tomography in SI. It is found that geotomography has a role to play when one is interested in, for example, general subsurface variability. An explanation is offered for the low success rate of cavity detection surveys utilizing seismic velocity tomography. It is shown that, of the numerous and diverse fields of application of the tomographic method, geotomography offers what is, perhaps, the most inherently ill-posed form of the reconstruction problem. Significant difficulties are encountered because, in general, measurements can be acquired from only a restricted set of positions. Additional problems are introduced through the use of seismic wave energy, which follows hard-to-predict routes across the surveyed zone. Observational errors lead to inconsistencies within a tomographic system. In consequence, the geotomographic reconstruction problem is typically under-determined, inconsistent and non-linear. An heuristic method of reconstructing seismic velocity tomograms from typical field data is developed and presented.

Abstract:
This thesis develops a numerical tool (the Virtual Wind Tunnel, VWT) for the resolution of problems involving fluid flow around structures. Due to the limitations that traditional methods may have in this context, the VWT is based on the use of fixed mesh technologies (CutFEM-type) combined with an implicit representation of the embedded bodies. One of the main contributions of the thesis is the use of such fixed mesh methods to solve lightweight thin-walled structures problems. Hence, two embedded formulations capable of representing the flow around bodies with and without internal volume are proposed. The first one results in a simpler implementation and lower computational effort but can only represent a slip behavior of the wall. The second one gets rid of such limitation by including a Nitsche imposition of the Navier-slip condition, thus allowing modelling any wall behavior as a wall law would do. The applicability range of the VWT includes the fluid–structure interaction problem (FSI). To that purpose an improvement for the boundary condition imposition of the FM-ALE algorithm mesh motion problem is also proposed. Moreover, the implementation, which has been conceived to be easily extended to any other coupled problem, is also treated. The validation of the technologies within the VWT includes multiple theoretical test cases as well as feasible industrial applications. Among these, the FSI analysis of a 4-point tent during a strong wind episode deserves to be highlighted as it showcases the achievement of the initial objective of the thesis.
En esta tesis se desarrolla una herramienta numérica (el Virtual Wind Tunnel, VWT) para la resolución de problemas que involucran el flujo de un fluido alrededor de una estructura. Debido a las limitaciones que los métodos tradicionales pueden tener en este contexto, el VWT se basa en el empleo de técnicas de malla fija (tipo CutFEM) combinadas con una descripción implícita de los cuerpos embebidos. Una de las principales contribuciones de la tesis es el empleo de dichos métodos de malla fija para resolver problemas de estructuras ligeras de pared delgada. Así pues, se proponen dos formulaciones embebidas capaces de representar el flujo alrededor de un cuerpo con o sin volumen interno. La primera de ellas resulta en una implementación más sencilla así como en un menor coste computacional pero únicamente puede reprentar un comportamiento deslizante de la pared. La segunda elimina esta limitación incluyendo una imposición mediante el método de Nitsche de la condición de Navier-slip, permitiendo así modelar cualquier comportamiento del mismo modo que lo haría una ley de pared. El rango de aplicabilidad del VWT incluye el problema de interacción fluido¿estructura (FSI). A tal propósito se plantea una mejora para la imposición de las condiciones de contorno del problema de movimiento de la malla del algoritmo FM-ALE. Asimismo, también se hace especial hincapié en la implementación, que ha sido concebida para ser fácilmente extensible a cualquier otro problema acoplado. La validación de las tecnologías implementadas en el VWT incluyen múltiples casos teóricos así como posibles aplicaciones industriales. Entre éstas se destaca el análisis FSI de una 4-point tent durante un episodio de viento severo ya que demuestra la consecución del objetivo inicial de la tesis.

Abstract:
Abstract Beneficial Reuse of Corrugated Paperboard in Civil Engineering Applications Gregory Michael Stone An investigation was conducted to explore the potential for reuse of corrugated paperboard. Corrugated paperboard represents a large fraction of the municipal solid waste generated and discarded in the United States. Alternative applications for reuse can provide a significant benefit by reducing the volume of waste being disposed and by reducing the use of raw materials. Four civil engineering applications were examined for potential beneficial reuse of corrugated paperboard: slurry trench construction, vertical drilling, directional drilling, and controlled low strength materials (CLSM). For the purpose of this project, corrugated paperboard was pulped and added to bentonite slurry or CLSM mixtures. Bentonite slurry mixtures were tested for viscosity, density, filtrate loss, and permeability. The behavior of the bentonite slurries was greatly influenced by interaction and interlocking of corrugate fibers; in general resulting in increased viscosity, filtrate loss, and permeability and decreased density. CLSM mixtures were tested for flow consistency, unit weight, air content, and compressive strength. CLSM mixtures prepared with corrugated paperboard showed an increased water demand due to high absorption of the corrugate. The higher water content was a significant factor contributing to decreased unit weight and compressive strength. CLSM mixtures containing corrugated paperboard also exhibited increased air contents, possibly due to entrapment of air within the corrugate pulp. Corrugated paperboard was used to successfully replace up to 27% of bentonite for slurry trench applications, 60% of bentonite for vertical drilling applications, and 59% of bentonite for directional drilling applications while maintaining acceptable engineering properties. For CLSM mixtures up to 1% of fine aggregate was replaced with corrugated paperboard while maintaining satisfactory engineering properties. Incorporation of corrugated paper board into bentonite slurry, CLSM, and drilling fluid applications provides a viable option for beneficial reuse.

The goal of this thesis is to explore ways of harvesting energy from a building. To be more specific, the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy using piezoelectric materials is studied. Applications of piezoelectric materials as actuators are also explored, with particular interest in the question: what is the maximum moment that an actuator, whose energy comes from piezoelectricity, can develop when attached to a beam. As a piezoelectric material cannot generate much energy, and often requires amplification, the goal is to optimize the circuit linked to the piezoelectric material to obtain as much power as possible.

Winistoerfer, Andreas Urs. "Development of non-laminated advanced composite straps for civil engineering applications." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/109734/.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this thesis has been the feasibility of a novel load transfer concept for a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) tendon system using non-laminated pin-loaded straps. The principle of these straps is that, as the tensile load increases, the relative slip between the layers produces a more uniform strain distribution in the layers leading to a higher load carrying capacity than when the laminate is fully consolidated (i.e. a laminated strap). This principle has been shown to occur by observing relative displacement between individual layers and strain measurements. Such components could be used for post strengthening purposes of existing structures. They have the potential to alleviate the current problems associated with the corrosion of externally applied steel reinforcement. Furthermore, the low density of CFRP’s in combination with appropriate design procedures can provide a cost competitive solution. This advantage of choosing a non-metallic material is strengthened when whole life cycle costs are considered since composites are expected to outlive the conventional repair materials. One objective of the project was to develop a tape material with continuous parallel fibres at low cost. At the start of the project no material available was suitable in terms of cost or quality. To drive the cost of the material down, thin lamina tapes with a thermoplastic matrix were considered. The various manufacturing processes for thermoplastic prepreg tape were reviewed and the powder impregnation process was found to meet the project's specifications. This method can produce high quality prepreg at a higher production rate compared to pultrusion with a thermosetting matrix. Sulzer Innotec Ltd. had an existing aqueous powder impregnation facility for research and development purposes. The author collaborated with the company to make specific modifications to the facility with the objective of improving material quality. This was achieved towards the end of the project, and in the thesis this material is referred to as Tape IV. Preliminary development work was carried out throughout the duration of the project to characterise five thermoplastic materials. Two practical connection methods where developed to anchor the final outer layer in the non-laminated strap option. It was found that the clamping method was superior to the fusion bonding method; both methods will, however, find applications. A new manufacturing process for laminated pin-loaded straps was developed and is reported. The author used MARC K6.2, a commercial finite element software, to predict the stress concentrations in the region where the strap makes contact with the steel pin. The difficulties associated with the advanced numerical modelling included contact and friction. The required results from MARC K6.2 were highly dependent on a sliding velocity parameter for which no accurate value was known. Because of the lack of rigor in the formulation of the finite element model, the stress concentrations predicted could not be used to optimise strap detailing. For completeness the MARC K6.2 modelling is described and the results reported. To exploit the technology, research and development work will be needed, and the thesis shows where there are gaps in our knowledge and understanding.

Abstract:
[Abstract]: With the increasing use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil engineering structures, there is a growing realisation of the need to develop newstructural systems which can utilise the unique characteristics of these materials in a more efficient and economical manner. In many instances this will require thedevelopment of new materials tailored to address the unique performance and economic parameters of mainstream construction. Over recent years, researchers at the University of Southern Queensland have pioneeredthe use of a new type of particulate filled polymer core material which greatly improves the robustness and cost effectiveness of FRP structural systems. These compositematerials are composed of small hollow spherical fillers (microspheres) in a thermosetting polymer matrix. Initial research into these materials, including theirfeasibility in prototype structural elements, have shown these materials to have major potential for widespread application in structural composite systems.One of the most promising classes of these materials investigated to date are vinyl ester / cenosphere composites, which utilise cenospheres derived from fly ash in a vinyl ester matrix. Previously reported studies into these materials have been restricted to initialsurveys of material behaviour which sought to identify key parameters in achieving desired performance outcomes in the composite. This dissertation presents the first in-depth investigation of these materials specifically as a core material option for civil infrastructure applications. The particular focus of this work is on the relationship of the vinyl ester matrix to the characteristics of the resultingcomposite. Several key matrix parameters were identified and assessed as to their influence on cure characteristics, fabrication operations, mechanical properties and theretention of such properties under elevated service temperatures. The outcomes of this work have significantly improved the understanding of matrix influences on the behaviour of these composite systems and have been drawn together to provide a number of recommendations on the application of this new technology to new structural systems.

Full text
Abstract:
End-of-life tyres are a disposal problem regarding the large volumes produced every year. Tyre shreds are primarily produced to reduce the transportation volumes of end-of-life tyres after collection. Within the European Union, there is a ban for landfilling tyre material in order to reduce the total landfilling volumes and to encourage recycling measures. Until recently the main disposal option has been energy recovery in industrial processes. However, legislation acts has recently been taken in the European Union to encourage recycling and recovery of end-of-life-tyres and re-use of tyre materials in construction works is listed as one disposal option.Tyre shreds possess interesting technical properties that could be beneficially used in civil engineering applications. Some characteristic properties of tyre shred materials are the low density, high elasticity, low stiffness, high drainage capacity and high thermal insulation capacity. These properties open up possibilities for utilisation of the material in an innovative manner.The overall aim of this thesis work has been to describe and evaluate tyre shreds as a civil engineering construction material from environmental and technical point of view. The thesis work has included laboratory tests and full scale field tests to investigate technical and environmental properties of tyre shreds and to investigate the tyre shred material behaviour in a real road construction. Furthermore, the state-of-the-art knowledge in the area has also been analysed and presented.In the laboratory studies technical properties focused on compaction and compression behaviour of tyre shreds have been investigated. In a field study of a built road, tyre shreds has been tested and evaluated, during four years, as lightweight fill and frost insulation material. Environmental properties of tyre shreds, mainly leaching characteristics, have been studied in laboratory tests and monitored in two full scale field tests.Based on the results in the laboratory studies a model is proposed for evaluation of stressstrain properties and prediction of compression behaviour. Recommendations for construction works and pavement design are suggested based on the road construction field study results.Conclusions regarding the studied leaching properties of tyre shreds, based on the laboratory tests and the field monitoring, are that zinc and iron are the metals mainly released and that the release of the studied organic compounds, i.e. PAH and phenols, are low. From an environmental point-of-view focus should be moved from PAH-compounds towards other compounds that are more interesting from mobility perspective and lack of knowledge. It is concluded from this thesis work that PAH is not a pollution problem in the area of use of tyre material covered by this work.Applications where tyre shreds have been successfully utilised as construction material, are e.g. as draining layers in landfills and as material in trotting tracks and paddocks. The utilisation of the material in trotting tracks and paddocks is especially interesting since the unique elasticity of the material is utilised. The potential of utilising tyre shreds in civil engineering construction is big. Since the available amounts of material is limited there is a possibility to direct the use of tyre shreds to the most favourable applications of tyre shreds and still solve the disposal problem of end-of-life tyres.
Uttjänta däck är ett avsättningsproblem avseende de stora volymerna som produceras varje år. Däckklipp produceras främst med avseende på att reducera transportvolymen av insamlade däck. Inom EU har det införts ett förbud mot att deponera däck och däckklipp för att dels reducera den totala volymen avfall som deponeras och dels för att uppmuntra återvinning av däckmaterial. Den huvudsakliga avsättningen för uttjänta däck har fram tills nu varit energiåtervinning, främst inom cementindustrin.Däckklipp har intressanta tekniska egenskaper som fördelaktigt kan utnyttjas i anläggningstekniska tillämpningar. Karakteristiska egenskaper för däckklipp är låg densitet, hög elasticitet, låg styvhet, hög dränerande och hög värmeisolerande förmåga. Kombinationen av dessa egenskaper möjliggör tekniskt innovativa lösningar inom anläggningsbyggande.Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen har varit att beskriva och utvärdera däckklipp som ett anläggningsmaterial ur både teknisk och miljömässig synvinkel. Arbetet har inkluderat både laboratorie- och fullskaleförsök för att utreda tekniska, miljö- och anläggningstekniska egenskaper. Vidare har det aktuella kunskapsläget om däckklipp som anläggningsmaterial utvärderats och presenterats.I laboratorieförsök har tekniska egenskaper med fokus mot packnings- och kompressionsegenskaper för däckklipp undersökts. I ett fältförsök har en vägkonstruktion med däckklipp som lättfyllnads- och tjälisoleringsmaterial byggts och utvärderats under fyra år. I laboratorieförsök har lakningsegenskaper för däckmaterial och miljöövervakningsprogram för tre olika konstruktioner utvärderats.Baserat på laboratoriestudier har en utvärderingsmodell för spännings-töjningsegenskaper och beräkning av kompression föreslagits. Rekommendationer för anläggningsteknik och vägdimensionering presenteras baserat på utvärderingen av vägkonstruktionen.Slutsatser baserat på lakningsstudierna i laboratoriemiljö och utvärderingen av miljöövervakningsprogrammen för fältkonstruktionerna är att de metaller som främst lakar ut är zink och järn och att lakningen av de studerade organiska föreningarna, d.v.s. PAH och fenoler, är låg. Från ett miljöperspektiv bör fokus flyttas från PAH mot organiska föreningar som har hög mobilitet och där kunskapsläget är lågt. Slutsatsen i detta arbete är att PAH-föreningar inte utgör ett föroreningsspridningsproblem för konstruktioner med däckklipp.Tillämpningar där däckklipp framgångsrikt har använts som konstruktionsmaterial är t.ex. i dräneringslager i deponier, i travbanor, och i paddockar. Användningen av däckklipp i travbanor och paddockar är särskilt intressant eftersom belastningen på hästarnas ligament kan minskas.Potentialen att använda däckklipp som ett anläggningsmaterial är stor. Eftersom tillgången är begränsad finns det en möjlighet att styra användningen till de lösningar där materialet används optimalt, både tekniskt och miljömässigt, och ändå avsätta all tillgänglig volym uttjänta däck.
