Potential of Natural and Recycled Concrete Aggregate Mixtures for Use in Pavement Structures
(MDPI, 2020)
This study investigates the feasibility of using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a partial substitution of natural aggregate in pavement engineering. Despite RCA’s good properties, such as polishing value and freeze-thaw ...
Design procedures for cold-formed stainless steel equal-leg angle columns
(Thin-Walled Structures, 2020)
Currently, there is still no explicit design approach for cold-formed stainless steel columns with equal-leg angle sections in Europe. A comprehensive numerical investigation, validated by the available experiments collected ...
Three-dimensional stress analysis and design of cross-laminated timber panels using full-layerwise-theory-based finite element method
(Elsevier, 2020)
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels have an increasing market share and extensive application in civil engineering, as full size walls or light floor structures. Due to their low environmental impact, excellent thermal ...
Column Curves for Stainless Steel Lipped–Channel Sections
(Journal of Structural Engineering, 2020)
The strength of thin-walled stainless steel columns has been investigated extensively over the last few years. The present paper presents the results of an extensive computational study of the buckling strength of ...
Behaviour of stainless steel plain channel section columns
(Thin-Walled Structures, 2020)
In this paper, the structural stability of cold-formed stainless steel plain channel columns under axial compression is investigated. Reliable finite element models for channel section columns are first ...
Structural response to axial testing of cold-formed stainless steel angle columns
(Thin-Walled Structures, 2020)
In this paper, the structural stability and compressive capacity of pin-ended cold-formed stainless steel angle columns with different slenderness were experimentally investigated. The experimental programme was performed ...
Uniformity and Heuristics-Based DeNSE Method for Sectorization of Water Distribution Networks
(Reston, VA (USA): ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020)
Sectorization of a water distribution network (WDN) into district metered areas (DMAs) is a proven solution for proactive leakage control. Traditionally, WDN sectorization is conducted by local experts using a trial-and-error ...
Incorporating stakeholders’ preferences into a multi-criteria framework for planning large-scale Nature-Based Solutions
(Ambio, 2020)
Hydro-meteorological risks are a growing issue for societies, economies and environments around the world. An effective, sustainable response to such risks and their future uncertainty requires a paradigm shift in our ...
Dynamic stiffness – based free vibration study of open circular cylindrical shells
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this paper, the dynamic stiffness method has been applied in the free vibration analysis of open circular cylindrical shells based on Flügge thin shell theory. The dynamic stiffness matrix for a completely free open ...
An Evaluation of Image Velocimetry Techniques under Low Flow Conditions and High Seeding Densities Using Unmanned Aerial Systems
(MDPI, 2020)
Image velocimetry has proven to be a promising technique for monitoring river flows using remotely operated platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). However, the application of various image velocimetry algorithms ...
