Abstract:
Properties of Porous Concrete Paving Blocks (PCPB) were investigated in this study. Two groups of coarse aggregate sizes were performed; passing 8 mm retains 5 mm and passing 10 mm retains 8 mm. For mixture design, 100 % of coarse aggregate were used. However, fine aggregate was eliminated in this investigation. The density, water absorption, flakiness index and elongation index test were performed to determine the properties of the coarse aggregate used in this study. Compression test and skid resistance test were used to evaluate the performance of PCPB. The results show that PCPB containing coarse aggregate size 5 8 mm give high compressive strength compared to others PCPB specimen. In addition, both PCPB specimens give an in increasing in skid resistance approximately 30 % compared to Concrete Paving Blocks (CPB).

Abstract:
Recently, highway and construction industries utilize a substantial quantity of conventional aggregates. The increasing demands for conventional aggregate cause an increase in the cost of construction, reduction of natural resource, and continuing deterioration of the earth's surface. On the other hand, the waste generated from the marble industries during the process of cutting and polishing was increasing day by day all over the world. In Ethiopia, the use of Marble Waste Aggregate materials in road construction as a base course material was not well-known, and it was simply wasted at every place where the marble production was continuing. Therefore, this paper focused on evaluating the possibility of using marble waste aggregate as conventional aggregate in the base course layer of flexible pavements by experimental method. To achieve the objectives of the research, mechanical stabilization and laboratory tests have been carried out at different percentage replacement of Conventional Aggregate by (0%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) of Marble Waste Aggregate weights. Marble wastes materials are collected from Burayyu city, Alisha marble processing industry. The laboratory test results for MWA indicated SG, ACV, AIV, LAA, Flakiness Index , Elongation Index, Plastic Index, Water Absorption, and CBR of 2.74%, 23.63%, 26.21%, 27.03%, 26.48%, 13.29%, Non Plastic, 0.50% and 73.3%, respectively. These test results fulfilled the ERA standard specification for some tests, and it showed marginal quality values to the standard specification for GB2 and GB3 base course materials. CBR and gradation test results shown failure to meet the standard specification. Thus, mechanical stabilization was done to improve the mechanical and physical properties of Marble Waste Aggregate. Blending of 80%MWA with 20% CA results in SG, ACV, AIV, LAA, Flakiness Index, Elongation Index, Plastic Index, Water Absorption, and CBR of 2.83%, 18.2%, 21.52%, 22.58%, 23.79%, 16.29%, Non Plastic, 0.80%,and 82.5% respectively. At this proportion the gradation also observed to fit with the required ERA standard specification of GB2 and GB3 materials. Therefore, the use of marble waste aggregate up to 80% by weight is recommended for road base course layer, when it is found near to the construction site and in places where the materials are abundantly available.

Abstract:
Cinder gravels are pyroclastic materials associated with recent volcanic activity which occur in characteristically straight sided cone shaped hills. The aim of this study was to use this marginal material which is abundantly available in many parts of Ethiopia by modifying their properties through mechanical blending and chemical stabilization. Results of physical and mechanical test conducted on cinder gravel samples prove their marginality to be used as base course materials especially for highly trafficked roads. An experimental investigation were carried by blending cinder gravels with conventional crushed stone bases course material, Crushed Stone Aggregate (CSA), in proportions of cinder/ Crushed Stone Aggregate (CSA) (10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 40/60 and 50/50) and treating with 6. 8 and 10% of cement. According to results of sieve analysis, Aggregate crushing value (ACV), flakiness index and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), 30% of Crushed Stone Aggregate (CSA) can be replaced by cinder gravels for use as Fresh, crushed rock (GB1) material and for cement treated cinder gravels adding 6% and 8% cement make them suitable for use as Stabilized base course (CB2) and (CB1) base course materials respectively, referring to their 14 day compressive strength as determined by Unified compressive strength test(UCS) test.

Abstract:
Aggregates constitute more than 90% of concrete and significantly determine the strength of concrete. In this study, the shape characteristics such as flakiness and elongation were determined using elongation and thickness gauge. The aggregate used for the study is granite. Aggregate crushing value and aggregate impact value tests were performed on the aggregate while slump test, water absorption test, compressive strength test and flexural strength test were carried out on concrete. A total of one hundred and thirty-two concrete cubes were produced using 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 mix each for the compressive strength test and forty-eight reinforced concrete beams were produced for flexural strength test. The slump for all the samples tested was examined to be true. The compressive strength of the concrete cube was greatly affected by the shape of aggregate used and it was noted that; for lower percentage of flaky and elongated aggregate the compressive strength is moderately high compared to when the percentage is high. The highest obtained compressive strength, 15N/mm2 is in compliance with the concrete compressive strength of normal 1:2:4 mix as stipulated in ASTM C109, Also, with 30% of elongated aggregate and 30% of flaky, the flexural strength of 7.03 N/mm2 was obtained. This shows that aggregate shape is a very important property of coarse aggregate that must be put into consideration in production of quality concrete for construction works.

Abstract:
In this paper, we directed our attention to the interlaminar defects and their influence on the interlaminar strengths. With the aid of a S-570 scanning electron microscope, the morphology and distribution of interlaminar defects were inspected and documented. According to their shape, size and cause of formation, the defects were classified into five types: flakiness void, irregular shaped debond, local imperfectly cured resin, debond in two multi-directional plies, and inhomogeneous fibers and the large scale debond by these fibers. The cause of defects formation was discussed by analyzing the manufacturing process of composites. The influence of defects on the interlaminar strength and its mechanism was analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The results indicate that these defects, with different effects, decrease the interlaminar strength because they form interlaminar cracks, and the interlaminar shear strength is less affected than interlaminar tensile strength, which is measured according to GB4944 test method. To comprehend defects distribution effect, a four-point-bending test method was introduced to measure the interlaminar peel strength, and a discussion was made on the correlation between the interlaminar tensile strength, interlaminar peel strength and in-plane transverse tensile strength. Finally the concept of interlaminar defect coefficient, which can be used to characterize the defects, was set up and the formula to calculate it was proposed.

Abstract:
With today’s focus on Continuous Integration, test cases are used to ensure the software’s reliability when integrating and developing code. Test cases that behave in an undeterministic manner are known as flaky tests, which threatens the software’s reliability. Because of flaky test’s undeterministic nature, they can be troublesome to detect and correct. This is causing companies to spend great amount of resources on flaky tests since they can reduce the quality of their products and services. The aim of this thesis was to develop a usable tool that can automatically detect flakiness in the Randomness category. This was done by initially locating and rerunning flaky tests found in public Git repositories. By scanning the resulting pytest logs from the tests that manifested flaky behaviour, noting indicators of how flakiness manifests in the Randomness category. From these findings we determined tracing to be a viable option of detecting Randomness as a cause of flakiness. The findings were implemented into our proposed tool FlakyReporter, which reruns flaky tests to determine if they pertain to the Randomness category. Our FlakyReporter tool was found to accurately categorise flaky tests into the Randomness category when tested against 25 different flaky tests. This indicates the viability of utilizing tracing as a method of categorizing flakiness.

Abstract:
Flaky tests can fail or pass without any changes to the code under test. They can destroy developers trust in a test suite and if ignored lead to bugs in released code. This thesis performs an empirical study of the most popular open source Python projects on GitHub. 197 commits with keywords indicating test flakiness are manually inspected and categorized according to the root cause of their flakiness. The results are compared to previous studies of Java projects. Two completely novel flakiness causes are found - precision and training (of a machine learning network). These two causes are almost entirely domain-specific to machine learning projects. Precision flakiness comes from an assertion with a too high or too low threshold. Training flakiness is caused by a faulty training setup of a machine learning network in a test. Most tests in Python projects are found to be flaky due to problems with asynchronous waiting, precision and network.
Odeterministiska tester kan ge ett godkänt eller misslyckat resultat utan att koden som testas har förändrats. De kan förstöra utvecklares tillit till en testsamling och leda till buggar i produktionskod om de ignoreras. En empirisk studie av de mest populära Pythonprojekten med öppen källkod på GitHub genomförs. 197 commits med meddelanden som indikerar odeterminism inspekteras manuellt och kategoriseras enligt orsak till odeterminism. Resultaten jämförs med tidigare studier som fokuserat på Javaprojekt. Två nya och originella orsaker hittas - precision och träning (av ett maskininlärningsnätverk). De här två orsakerna är nästan helt domänspecifika till maskininlärningsprojekt. Odeterminism på grund av precision beror på att ett testkrav (eng. assertion) hade en för hög eller för låg tröskel, som var omöjlig att nå varje gång testet utfördes. Odeterminism på grund av träning beror på att uppsättningen av träningen för ett maskininlärningsnätverk gjorts på ett felaktigt sätt. De vanligaste orsakerna till odeterminism i Pythontester identifieras som asynkron väntan (eng. asynchronous waiting), precision och nätverk.

Abstract:
Background. Unstable and unpredictable tests, herein referred to as flaky tests, pose a serious challenge to systems in the production environment. If a device is not tested thoroughly, it will be sent back for retesting from the production centers, which is an expensive affair. Removing flaky tests involves detecting the flaky tests, finding the causes of flakiness and finally the elimination of flakiness. The existing literature provides information on causes and elimination techniques of flakiness for software systems. All of these are studied thoroughly, and support is taken from interviews to understand they are applicable in the context of embedded systems. Objectives. The primary objective is to identify causes of flakiness in a device under test and also techniques for eliminating flakiness. Methods. In this paper, we applied a literature review to find the current state-of-art of flakiness. A case study is selected to address the objectives of the study. Interviews and observations carried out to collect data. Data analysis performed using a directed content analysis method. Results. Observations resulted in eliminating 4 causes of flakiness in embedded systems. Interview results in finding 4 elimination techniques which were not found in the literature. Conclusions. Causes and Elimination techniques for the domain of embedded systems are identified. Knowledge translation between the domains was carried out effectively.

Abstract:
The characteristics of fine aggregates, such as shape, angularity, and surface texture, have been shown to influence the performance of concrete and asphalt mixtures and to play an important role in obtaining valuable properties of early age concrete such as workability, and compatibility. However, the measurement of fine aggregate characteristics is not easy. In the present study, 26 fine aggregates, covering a wide spectrum of mineralogy, were examined using direct and indirect test methods in order to evaluate the shape, angularity, and surface texture, as well as to analyze the gradation. The direct test methods, such as AIMS and Camsizer, which provide a digital image of the aggregates proved to be the best. However, the cost of such systems can limit the use of digital imagining systems in practice. The indirect test methods which provide an estimate of aggregate surface characteristics, such as uncompacted void test, mortar flow test, compressive strength test, and flakiness test gave variable results. The uncompacted void test (Method A) was shown to be the most accurate indirect test method. The Camsizer and the sieve analysis test produced identical gradation analysis results when an adequate sample was used. General correlations were developed between the direct and indirect test methods. The non-approved fine aggregates on the TxDOT’s list were analyzed and compared to those of the approved fine aggregates to see whether they could be successfully used. It was found that both LS-5 and LS-8 had good results—even better than the results of some of the approved fine aggregates. Thus, they could be successfully used.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper introduces a new property called robust reachability which refines the standard notion of reachability in order to take replicability into account. A bug is robustly reachable if a controlled input can make it so the bug is reached whatever the value of uncontrolled input. Robust reachability is better suited than standard reachability in many realistic situations related to security (e.g., criticality assessment or bug prioritization) or software engineering (e.g., replicable test suites and flakiness). We propose a formal treatment of the concept, and we revisit existing symbolic bug finding methods through this new lens. Remarkably, robust reachability allows differentiating bounded model checking from symbolic execution while they have the same deductive power in the standard case. Finally, we propose the first symbolic verifier dedicated to robust reachability: we use it for criticality assessment of 4 existing vulnerabilities, and compare it with standard symbolic execution.

Abstract:
The ballast layer serves as a major structural component in typical ballasted railroad track systems. When subjected to an external load, ballast particles present a complex mechanical response which is strongly dependent on particle to particle interactions within this discrete medium. One common test used to study the shear strength characteristics of railroad ballast is the Direct Shear Test (DST). However, it is often not feasible in standard geotechnical engineering laboratories to conduct direct shear tests on ballast particles due to significantly large specimen and test setup requirements. Even for the limited number of laboratories equipped to accommodate the testing of such large specimens, conducting repeated tests for parametric analysis of different test and specimen parameters on shear strength properties is often not feasible. Numerical modeling efforts are therefore commonly used for such parametric analyses. An ongoing research study at Boise State University is using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to evaluate the effects of varying particle size and shape characteristics (i.e., flakiness, elongation, roundness, angularity) on direct shear strength behavior of railroad ballast. A commercially available three-dimensional DEM package (PFC3D®) is being used for this purpose. In numerical modeling, railroad ballasts can be simulated using spheres (simple approach) and non-breakable clumps (complex approach). This paper utilizes both approaches to compare the ballast stress-strain response as obtained from DST. Laboratory test results available in published literature are being used to calibrate the developed numerical models. This paper presents findings from this numerical modeling effort, and draws inferences concerning the implications of these findings on the design and construction of railroad ballast layers.
