Full textBecause of their setting ability, hydraulic binders are used for a wide variety of applications (e.g., construction materials, bone substitutes, ...). The setting reaction is always initiated by mixing one or several fine powders with an aqueous solution. The dissolution of the initial reactive powders results in the formation of a viscous paste, whose properties evolve with time to form a porous monolithic ceramic through the nucleation and precipitation of more stable phase(s). In this thesis, gypsum plaster CaSO4·2H2O obtained by the hydration reaction of calcium sulfate hemihydrate CaSO4·0,5H2O is studied under standard conditions (e.g., liquid/solid mass ratio, temperature and pressure), in order to develop multi-physic and multi-scale characterization techniques in-situ and ex-situ to monitor the evolution of:- the phase composition (rate of dissolution and precipitation) using calorimetric measurements, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry techniques;- the microstructure using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microtomography;- the mechanical properties using ultrasonic propagation velocity measurement, shear and compressive dynamic mechanical analysis and compressive strength testing. This panel of techniques enabled to monitor and to correlate the various physical transitions occurring during the setting reaction, and thus to draw a global picture of the on-going phenomena

Full textThe Callovo-Oxfordian claystones’ properties make them reliable as a geological barrier for the confinement of radioactive wastes. In order to optimally predict their behavior, how they respond to various short and long terms loadings has to be studied. Particularly during the exploitation phase, air is continuously ventilated throughout the galleries. The climatic properties of this air are not balanced with those of the rock, and may perturb its hydromechanical (HM) attributes. Thus, assessing the HM response of the rock under hydric loading seems to be a priority.This dissertation begins with laboratory tests to propose an appropriate physical model. Drying tests were studied as they focus on the HM response of samples undergoing hydric loadings. A first 2D isotropic model is proposed, and then enhanced to 3D by considering a transversely isotropic Young modulus. Secondly, experimental results provide relevant data to estimate poroelastic and transport parameters involved in the model. Estimation is achieved according to an inverse procedure, which minimizes the error between measurements and model predictions. Finally, a real-size test is simulated using 2D models: an isotropic plastic one and a transversely isotropic elastic one.Model predictions reproduce well the laboratory tests data. When simulating the in situ behavior, a rather good agreement is obtained between the numerical and experimental results (although using the parameters estimated at the laboratory scale). However, the model highlights a limited influence of plasticity in the laboratory tests, while dissipative phenomena obviously occur in situ. 3D laboratory simulations do not improve the precision of 2D results, but reproduce more experimental data (mass variations, axial and lateral strains). Moreover, the inversion process is more efficient when ran over various kinds of data. Furthermore, stability of the algorithm is improved when adopting a two-phase convergence (simplex, followed by a gradient-like method). Numerical estimates of the parameters are in agreement with the direct experimental measurements obtained through other tests

Full textHot tearing is a major defect arising during solidification of aluminium alloys. This defect is associated with the inability of liquid to feed areas where voids have started to appear, not allowing to heal small defects before they grow bigger. To understand hot tearing, it is mandatory to develop a good knowledge of the semi-solid mechanical behaviour. It is thus very useful to carry out X-ray microtomographies experiments and mechanical simulations on representative elementary volumes. In this work, we couple the both approaches by initialising a finite element simulation with the help of microtomography data obtained during an isothermal tensile testing of an aluminium-copper alloy in the mushy state. This innovative approach gives a direct access to the experimental reality and allows comparisons of numerical and experimental evolutions of the sample. We explain in a first time how to get the numerical representation thanks to a marching cubes algorithm and the immersed volume method. Then, we present our numerical model for which we solve the Stokes equations in a monolithic way. Once the velocity computed in all the solid, liquid and gaseous phases, we use a level set method in a Eulerian formalism to obtain the morphological evolution of our numerical sample. Despite the model simplicity, numerical and experimental results show a reasonable agreement concerning the air propagation inside the sample

Full textQUB is a dynamic in-situ thermal characterization test method that has the potential to be conducted in a short duration of one to two nights. The robustness of QUB method with uncertainty in power level (during QUB heating phase), uncertainty in overall heat transfer coefficient at steady state, H_ref, and the outdoor temperatures a function of seasons needs to be established for real buildings.A dynamic state-space model is developed in this thesis to simulate QUB experiments. The state-space modelling involves generating a thermal circuit for each component of the building (walls, fenestration, ventilation system, etc.). The thermal circuits are then assembled to generate a single circuit for the entire building. The state-space model developed, is validated using thermal characteristics and measured data of a full-scale house (the twin house) provided by IEA EBC Annex 58. The numerical simulations of the QUB experiments on a house show that the method has only slight variation with uncertainty in power; for example, 30% error in optimum power can cause an error within 3 % of the reference value. A posteriori error analysis is performed by simulating QUB experiments in situations in which the real envelope has different characteristics than those assumed in the design of the experiment for QUB method. These results are then compared with a priori errors, a situation in which QUB experiments are performed with the knowledge of the real envelope. The error analysis shows that with 50 % error in the overall heat transfer coefficient (i.e. missing wall insulation situation), the QUB method results in an increased error of only 3¬¬ %. The precision of QUB method was tested also with the variation of solar radiation. QUB results on cloudy days show lesser variation as compared to sunny days. It was shown that the heat transfer from the delayed solar radiations entering through the walls of the building has an effect on the temperature evolution during the QUB experiment. This can lead to an increased error in QUB method. The QUB experiments are simulated during summer and winter to determine the impact of seasons on the accuracy of the method. The winter season shows more robust results as compared to summer months. The summer months show larger variation of results. It is verified that the large variation are due to small temperature difference between indoor and outdoor conditions during some of the summer nights. The experiments in summer season can be improved by increasing the set point temperature before the QUB experiment

The seismic resistance capacities of typical I-shape low-rise RC school buildings are limited along the parallel-corridor direction; this phenomenon is crucially non-negligible in terms of seismic retrofitting design. To truly realize details of construction as well as retrofitting benefits, the in-situ push-over tests will be a better strategy to prevent ‘downscaling effect’ and obtain the most direct-and -reliable retrofitting verification. In this study, both in-situ push-over experiments and their corresponding numerical (ABAQUS) simulations are used to investigate the differences of structural behaviors before and after retrofitting. From the observations in this study, it is recommended to add ‘construction-time- modulating factor’ as well as using confined concrete value ( value depends on the reset of stirrups) to carry out push-over analysis. The comparison of each experimental specimen’s seismic capacity as well as their analytical results show that RC jacketing columns, the steel channel adhered to the existing RC columns of external steel-framing system, and column frame retrofitted specimens have both precise prediction and effectively improved strength and ductility when analyzing force behavior of columns and its failure mode, and the two results can provide low-rise RC school buildings with available reinforcement methods: the former one is applicable to existing school buildings with smaller , whereas the latter one is to larger buildings.

Full textRecent progress in the development of European standards has allowed the in situ testing of roadside noise barriers. CEN/TS 1793-5 describes a test method using maximum length sequences (MLS) for the characterisation of airborne sound insulation. However, many barriers are tested according to a laboratory standard, EN 1793-2, based on measurements carried out in reverberant chambers and in the case of timber barriers with a relatively low airborne sound insulation it is not clear to what extent the results of the two tests compare. The paper describes the results of tests carried out using both methods. Six samples of timber barrier were compared including single-leaf and double-leaf constructions and single-leaf constructions with an absorptive core. Very good agreement was found especially when account was taken of the valid frequency range in each test method. The results open up the possibility of routinely evaluating the performance of timber barriers at the roadside where build quality can be variable and there are concerns that the acoustic performance may not match that obtained under laboratory test conditions where typically the barrier is more carefully constructed.

Full textThe in situ measurement of the airborne sound insulation, as outlined in EN 1793-6:2012, is becoming a common means of quantifying the performance of road traffic noise reducing devices. Newly installed products can be tested to reveal any construction defects and periodic testing can help to identify long term weaknesses in a design. The method permits measurements to be conducted in the presence of background noise from traffic, through the use of impulse response measurement techniques, and is sensitive to sound leakage. Factors influencing the measured airborne sound insulation are discussed, with reference to measurements conducted on a range of traffic noise barriers located around Auckland, New Zealand. These include the influence of sound leakage in the form of hidden defects and visible air gaps, signal-to-noise ratio, and noise barrier height. The measurement results are found to be influenced by the presence of hidden defects and small air gaps, with larger air gaps making the choice of measurement position critical. A signal-to-noise ratio calculation method is proposed, and is used to show how the calculated airborne sound insulation varies with signal-to-noise ratio. It is shown that the measurement results are influenced by barrier height, through the need for reduced length Adrienne temporal windows to remove the diffraction components, prohibiting the direct comparison of results from noise barriers with differing heights.
The authors would like to thank the NZ Transport Agency for sponsoring the Auckland traffic noise barrier testing work, and the Auckland Motorway Alliance for assisting with access to the test sites.
